Constrictor tip selected wrong system on F6 screen

[CdrC64]

Doing the Constrictor mission, second galaxy, I got a tip sending me to a planet beginning with Err.

The F6 screen put a small square around Reenen (ROT13).

The actual system that gives you the next tip is Reevhf (ROT13). There was no square around that system.

I don't *think* I was seeing the 'find system' boxes, as the square remained once I arrived at the first system and continued searching beyond it.

Eventually I looked at the code for the mission and planetinfo.plist and worked out which system 1 253 was.

Was this something I did or an issue in the mission?

Might you have invoked Cody's Square?

If you can remember the colour of your square, see F6 page (galactic chart "1")

Oh! And by the way, welcome back! Congratulations on surviving the Great Plague. I just hope that your loved ones did too...

Just out of curiosity - are you running Oolite on an AppleMac, Windows, Linux or one of those clockwork Babbage gadgets?

Almost certainly. I believe it was a green square. I was not even aware of this feature.

I was surprised there wasn't a yellow square on the next system to travel to. I thought there was, or I was just accidentally invoking Cody's square and thinking the game was being nice to me.

Arrgh.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm finally back to Oolite after quite a few years absence. I tried E:D but I'm even worse at that than I am at Oolite, so here I am.

Heh! After wrestling with Steam, I utterly failed to get E:D to even load. But spent many exultant and exciting hours with my computer tied up downloading it! Was it 6? 8?
