Slight error in random hits 1.4.18

Post by DredgerMan »

Good hiya doody, all.

having upgraded to 1.82 and upgraded the random hits to 1.4.18 I noticed that after taking out a nefarious dentist assistant, I was greeted on the next jump with a message from a fellow hunter stating that; I belive that the retainers of mission_random_hits_revenge_mark_first_name mission_random_hits_revenge_mark_second_name intend to ... blah blah blah.

Since I am pretty sure I the dentist assistant in question was not named mission_random_hits_etc_etc_etc, I believe I found a bug.

Nothing else seems to have changed.

Random Hits 1.4.18 is an old version that has some glitches with newer versions of Oolite. You might want to try the current version (1.10.4) available from the in-game expansion pack manager.

Ahh, so that's what that oxp upgrade section was about. What will they think of next! :lol:

Thanks for the pointer, Spara. Just had another revenge warning, this time with the correct names. Doesn't stop them blowing up, either! :wink:
