v0.90b Bug Reports - READ FIRST POST

[LordGarcia]

alright I run into some kind of problen here. It isn't really a bug but might need some fixing.

What I speak of is the way the targets for movement are handled. If you make a part of a ship separately and then turn it around to put it somewhere ont he ship the target's direction won't change according to the sprite you just turned. this leads to movements that have to be redone. In my case it led to mass changing of 30 or so sections and that frankly sucks.

tl:dr

>target direction doesn't change when turning a section. would be better if it would, though.

Happens when firing the repeating artillery.

The Online/Offline trigger for weapons doesn't seem to work. My weapons still fire when they are meant to be offline.

Also, I get this error when if turn them online/offline:

Please advise.

If they're white, those are intentional. The explosion itself tends to generate a refraction bubble/shockwave effect that causes weapon-fired beams to visually bend, but they do not physically.

These are giant misplaced beams of light, I'm pretty sure.

This is a pretty old bug, but it's still around and I don't think I've seen it mentioned:

Sometimes when you go to the main menu, the ships in the background all fly directly to the center of the screen and keep that as their target, so they're all stuck bumping around in the center.

Any ship after that which is destroyed will likely be unable to move normally. It respawns off the screen, and slowly moves back onscreen in little jerks until it's somewhere near the edge, where they tend to stop. They also can't turn when they're like this.

It also applies on Blaster Cannons and other custom long range weapons. Happens rarely.

And also sometimes, after saving, my ship description is cut in half, or something like that.

WTH is happening to my shipmaker?

Anybody interested in answering my question? I know i'm pretty impatient coz everytime i create or edit triggers, my long ship description is half-removed.

[BizzarreCoyote]

If no one is responding, then that means that either they don't know or it can't be helped.

Sorry dude, I think this is one of these circumstances.

It's back again and this time I have no idea how to stop it,
The bug is caused by the weapon being used as the driver to the turret and persist even after it is deleted.

Here's a screenie:

To get rid of this bug you should write a full path to the bullet sprite in field "custom bullet sprite".

Same as some custom weapons, those I know of are the
-TacNuke Cannon
-Repeating Artillery
-Flash Bolter

Also, whenever I run the sandbox, this appears:

Error in code at line 4:

It somehow messes up the beams, explosions and etc.
However it becomes normal after going back to the main menu and sandbox again.

[Kaelis]

bl3d4:
Make sure you have the latest version. That bug has already been fixed.

LukeRM

- Division by 0 errors when entering sandbox. If you're experiencing these, putting 'Sbsurfsize = 2048' below 'Surfaces' in bfconfig.ini should fix it.

[AnnihilatorX]

hmm just found that frame/speed settings for rotation and movement aren't transferred when section is cloned.

Maximum and minimum target size for weapons still doesn't work? Tested on mining laser at least.

[Skull13]

This happened when I spawned my "t'aren fighter." Could the apostrophe have caused an issue?
