Trunk nightly

[Cody]

Thankfully, noticing it just now means that it may be rare enough for us to be able to live with it.

It's certainly not affecting the game in any way (which reminds me, I have some valuable diplomatic parcels to deliver).

[SirArian]

I don't know if this has been fixed already, but in my version of trunk (Downloaded Friday, but built Monday I think. 1.79.0.5657-140303) the cops are actually attacking the Coriolis Station... That isn't supposed to happen, is it? (When I try to help them out they kill me in 1.5 seconds, though...)

[Cody]

There is some odd behaviour in trunk (especially the aegis shout-outs, as you've noticed) - the Devs are aware of it.

There is some odd behaviour in trunk (especially the aegis shout-outs, as you've noticed) - the Devs are aware of it.

Okay. I thought they probably were, as it didn't just happen once, but thought I would make sure. It is kinda interesting to see plasma globs the size of a behemoth flying off the station though...

[another_commander]

Actually, it is very easy to reproduce this bug: Launch from station, wait until there are several cops out (or try loading a game a few times until you see plenty of Vipers already out when launching), then shoot the station once and start circling it fast. This will cause the Vipers to go for you and they will have plenty of shots missing and hitting the station, since you are flying very close to it. Not before too long, you will see messages from them along the lines of "Die, Viper!" and similar comedy stuff.

I did this a few times and managed to get a few police entity dumps from one of these situations. The first two are Vipers that were shooting me and supposedly behaved correctly. The last one is a Viper that apparently is targeting the Coriolis. Note also that the Coriolis on the last one is both target and owner (!?) and that the others have themselves as owners, while the spawn times indicate that the funny one could be one that was launched from the station after the other two had already been around for a while. Finally, the funky one has a defense ship role while the others are standard police. Not sure if and how much this helps pinpoint anything.

Edit to add: Although I've seen messages from Vipers threatening other Vipers quite a few times now, I have not seen any attacks amongst them yet. Maybe it's just wrong message handling?

[Cody]

Although I've seen messages from Vipers threatening other Vipers quite a few times now, I have not seen any attacks amongst them yet. Maybe it's just wrong message handling?

I get the impression it is just the message handling. I've seen messages such as: Coriolis Station: Viper down! but not witnessed any preceeding conflict.

[cim]

The station/police friendly fire handling should be fixed in tonight's nightly build.

Thanks

I am having a problem jumping to a new system. It counts down just fine, and then when it gets to zero... Nothing happens. I am using today's build. (5661-140314) Information from the Latest.log is below. If you suspect it to be caused by an OXP I can either give you a list of the ones I have installed, or go through and find the one that is causing the problem. (Maybe...) It does not happen every time, but every now and then it does. There does not seem to be any pattern... If you need more information I can probably give it to you. (I may need you to tell me where to find it though!)

Has your commander recently reached Competent rank, by any chance? If so then I'm pretty certain I've fixed it ... otherwise it might be something else.

I've been seeing ships launch, then return to the station and dock (which I think I've mentioned before) for a while - a classic example: a Python +2 launches, heads away from the station, calls escorts to form-up for the jump, then the Python makes a sudden course change, followed by the escorts, calls the jump again, then makes another drastic course change, calls the jump yet again, then makes yet another sudden course change, and heads back to the station to dock. I wondered if Torus stations* and/or Zieman Habitats were confusing things, so I've disabled both OXPs. So far, that seems to have worked - I still see the occasional ship launch, then dock again, but the calling of jumps, followed by sudden course changes, appears to have stopped. The game will probably make me eat my words later - hey-ho!

*I still see occasional ships launch, then crash into the Torus station, btw - the last was a Ferdie.

[cim]

I've been seeing ships launch, then return to the station and dock (which I think I've mentioned before)

Yes ... now, if it's the torus station, it's probably a problem with not getting far enough from the station before jumping out. I'll have a look at that.

[Cody]

... if it's the torus station...

To clarify: I have seen that behaviour from ships launching from Dodo/Ico stations too, not only from Torus stations. The common factor may be another jump-blocking station in the aegis, such as the Zieman Habitat. I'll test some more tonight, with the Torus station, but without the Zieman Habitat.

This should now be fixed - they'll get away from the station successfully no matter how big it is, though it may take them a while to get clear of a Torus station.

He just reached deadly. I'll try to update it tonight and let you know if it happens again.

In IS at HIMSN HQ, the station (Kiota model) was happily shouting-out 'Imperial Navy Asp MK II down!'...

... and a dumb question on multiple misjumps (intra-interstellar space): expected core behaviour is Thargoids appear at all subsequent midway points, yes?
I have a dim memory of that behaviour being changed or 'fixed' some time ago, you see... but I can't recall which way round. <grins>
