Inventory bug - incorrect 'In hold' >20t

Post by Planezero »

Hi,

I am new to OOlite and would first of all like to thank the people resonsible for revamping Elite, what a great game !
When is it going to become a MMORPG ? :)

I would like to report the following bug :
Version v1.73.4 for the pc
(not sure if its already reported, but I did a quick search and it didnt come up)
I bought 20t of fur at Diso and this is reflected correcty at the bottom 'load 20 of 20' , however the column 'In hold' states I have 40t in the hold. Having arrived at Leesti I was able to sell 40t and received 3500+ credits !!
(SSStttttt dont tell anybody :mrgreen: :mrgreen: )

I made 2 screenshots, unfortunately the BBS doesnt allow me to post the images/URLs yet...
(why does it say this only AFTER I complete the post and not in preview :( :()

Have a nice flight,
Berry

Welcome to the friendliest board this side of Riedquat!™

Unfortunately it's not likely ever to become multi player. See this thread: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=6173

The built in search doesn't work too well, however, if you use Firefox, IE, or Chrome, you can install a plugin for Google or Yahoo that will search the BBS more efficiently. See: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engine ... Diziet+Sma

Hi, Planezero, welcome to the boards! It sounds like the bug you're reporting might be related to this one. Have you by any chance bought a large cargo bay?

Thanks for the welcome !

I dont think its the same bug as the two suggested because I did not buy a large cargo bay, though it'll probably be related.
To my best recollection I bought the fur available (ie using the enter key) and then noticed 40t had been transferred after hyperspace.
After selling the 40t of fur, the max my bay can hold is still 20t.
So the error must be in the buying portion of the code...

I will see if I can reproduce...
(the bug I mean :):) )

It gets wierder...

Loading ANY save game file would give me 20T of fur !
After Closing and restarting OOlite this no longer happens.

So, somehow after trading in fur I recieved a free 20t (I never had the cash to pay for this) and this exceeded the max capacity by 20t.
