problably part of the module targets don't mirror glitch, a can actually end up linking the booster module to something on the peices palette :shock:

as you can see in the selection box the peice seems to be affected by the booster.
*how to reproduce*
1: put a part onto the ship and mirror it
2: put a booster on the upper half of the ship
3:target the peice on the lower half of the ship
4:look at your peice selection thing.
-additional info-
no error appears during this event
when tested, the booster just selects a random peice on the ship.
ship saving is not stopped by any "booster module needs target" notification
hope this helps

found a major problem with atleast encounters:

i was running some performance tests on my computer while playing BSF and found out that although the memory used by an encounter is wiped after quitting it using esc, if the encounter finishes (with either victory or defeat) the memory does not return to its previous levels which causes a loss in performance

also if the load/play encounter browser is closed without a selection the game produces a whole string of error messages about the menu screen
There is no OP, there is only more boosters...

Make sure none of the files in the directory are not set to read-only, particularly anything that's either a config (ini) or save (sav) file.

checked all the files in the directory and the only ones that are set to "read only" are the folders
if it helps it's only effecting the BSF game but not the SM

EDIT: went back to try and run the game again now I just get the "Unexpected error has occured" text...I also went to go look into the "game_errors.log" and found this:

FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Other Event: User Defined 1
for object TwinAutocannon:

COMPILATION ERROR in code action
Error in code at line 27:

bullet = instance_create(x+lengthdir_x(10,image_angle-25)y+lengthdir_y(10,image_angle-25),l_bullet)

at position 61: Symbol , or ) expected.

not sure what it means but just felt like it might help
