For some reason I am now flying around with -17 chaff charges. I probably should be dead, but I am a fugitive who got out of a massive fight with loads of missiles being thrown at me that ended up having no effect.
I don't know what I have done to cause this as I have not messed with the OXP at all.
I do have a lot of other OXPs installed, not sure what the bug reporting procedure is, if there is one.

Re: Infinite chaff
But that's not infinite, only going towards negative infinite. You haven't explicitly mentioned it, but I take it that you can still fire charges?luminous wrote:For some reason I am now flying around with -17 chaff charges.
My guess is that the check for
charges = 0
somehow failed, and it doesn't check for charges < 0
, giving you effectively unlimited charges. That's clearly an OXP bug (or something weird happened).-

Re: Infinite chaff
As I've reported elsewhere on the boards, I have that problem (or 'problem') too.

Re: Infinite chaff
Fair enough, just so long as it is known
I actually wanted to run out of charges, as I think the chaff is a little too powerful. I was just wanting the automatic initiation of ECM, as far too many ships wait till the last second to spam loads of missiles at me...lol
