possible bug - licence to print CR

[Celt]

I was playing around with multiple missions and came across a bug which allows you to get free money . . . For the sake of sanity I will ROT13 it here . . . Feel free to edit it once read by a dev . . .

Looks an oxp bug to me. The bay is not normally sellable and I think that the oxp is not checking if is was really removed before awarding the cash.

Ah yes, I realise now I have the sell equipment OXP, so it must be in there . . . Should this topic stay here or be moved elsewhere in the forum? Do I need to dig out who wrote that OXP or do they all check here?

I think Sell Equipment is one of McLane's OXPs - he'll most likely spot this here.

Ordinarily it's best to report OXP bugs in the thread for that OXP, because authors who don't visit very as often may have subscribed to their OXP threads so they get an email when there's new posts. Of course, if it's not obvious whether a bug is from an OXP or the core game, no-one is going to mind if you report the bug here instead while it's figured out.

Here's the thread for the OXP, where, as it happens, someone else has independently discovered the same bug, but by filling the hold with cargo rather than cabins.

Yeah, just didn't twig in time that it would be an OXP . . .

Thanks for the bug report.

A new version of Sell equipment OXP (1.5) with a provisional fix for the above mentioned problem is released. Please download via  the Wiki.

A real fix will be possible in Oolite 1.79.
