Python can't launch without damage

Post by **dajt** » Sat May 20, 2006 4:26 am

Having finally played enough to afford a Python, I find I can't launch without losing my rear shield and a couple of tons of cargo every time.

I had a look at the launching code but couldn't understand the bit that sets the ship's position in [StationEntity launchShip].

I also found in [PlayerEntity (Controls) pollDockedControls] that the calls:

[universe setDisplayCursor:NO];
[self playBreakPattern];

are redundant because they have already been made in [StationEntity launchShip].

The problem's in the collision detection code for stations, and I'll be working on it.

Good news. Hope it isn't too hard to sort out the collisions.

Bah. I thought I’d cut out the redundant playBreakPattern.

I've found that the gritty corriolis staions in the OXP don't cause this. I've edited the config file to make all corriolis stations be gritty corriolis. At least it reduces the problem.

Blackdog hasn't got this problem.

No, it was fixed sometime during the 1.65 build-up.
