Wormhole scanner

[Mauiby de Fug]

As version 1.75 is now out, I'm in the process of updating/reorganizing my AddOns folder, and as I was clearing it out, I decided to use the time to work on my Wormhole drones, which I've somewhat neglected.
In testing, I noticed this:




The drone has a very high density, so that the wormhole would stay open for a long time while testing. In v1.74.2, this time ended up being about 10 and a half minutes. Here, however...
I also noticed that it doesn't appear to change.

Strange, I just tested with a Behemoth. (in the console: PS.target.exitSystem()) It displayed a time of about 254 minutes. This is about the same as I remember from the behemoth in 1.74. And certainly more than the 10 minutes in your example. So there must be more to it for this bug.

For a wormhole you can also make an entity dump by targeting it and pressing Shift-H and looking in your latest log. Maybe that log contains a clue?

Same test as Eric, I am testing with a Behemoth and reading Collapsing in: 256:06 as I am writing this.

I've tested via the console various ships which were in the system, and they seem to be working fine.

Here's the log dump from 3 of my wormholes, if it helps...:

(That Shift+H thing could be useful - I didn't know about that!)

[Eric Walch]

I now took another ship. Actually the station buoy because that was in front of me. I added fuel to it and send it in to the next system. And now I also got the wrong display. At least a start to work on.

[another_commander]

Problem is a division by zero in -suckInShip:. More specifically, this:

Code: Select all

float d = distance(position, [ship position]);
float afterburnerFactor = [ship hasFuelInjection] && [ship fuel] > MIN_FUEL ? [ship afterburnerFactor] : 1.0;
float shipSpeed = [ship maxFlightSpeed] * afterburnerFactor;
now += d / shipSpeed; // <------- CRASH BANG KABOOOMMM!!!! Buoys and other immobile entities don't have speed
if( now > expiry_time)
	return NO;
