Trunk 1.75.4.4615

[Fatleaf]

I was testing out a wip (https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10300) and fired a special missile. The explosion in trunk produced over 2000 entities, with the result being less than 4fps, while the same explosion in 1.75.3 produced about 590 entities. This was tested by El Viejo and he got the same results (it crashed his game). Here is the log file

Hope it helps.

I am sure that this has to do with fixing this bug. That is missiles having a shipDied handler that never worked before and now starts working.
An other bug report was also related to fixing this bug.

Are you sure you have the correct logfile? I just launched that missile for fun. It halted my computer for several minutes and than things were back to normal. 2047 entities is the maximum. When reaching that maximum, oolite dumped an entity list to the log. It did it quite often, so that I ended up with a log of 1.06 GB. Thats a bit more than your log

Anyhow, the missile initiates a cascade of spawning stuff. In the old oolite the shipDied only triggered for that fraction of debris that killed itself by colliding into each other. That was the only moment that shipDied worked in current oolite.
In trunk, the shipDied handler fires for all the debris that is exploded.

The missile in question is mine.
As you say it works fine in v1.75.3, but not in trunk or (presumably) 1.76 when that's released.
I believe you posted a solution here.
I will certainly be updating my WIP to take this into account. Thanks.
