Well you did call it "Stealth", so maybe they thought it just really difficult to find!

I headed off to the correct system, and initially couldn't find the base.

So I saved, remembered reading that there used to be a problem with this oxp about things not appearing, found this thread, and then went hunting in the scripts.

While I failed to find anything that might explain why on my first attempt, I did notice that the base is only spawned when a this.shipWillExitWitchspace event happens. Meaning that when I reloaded Oolite, I had to jump out to the nearest system and jump back in again before the base appeared.

I'm still not sure why I couldn't find it to begin with... I saved my game using the SaveAnywhere oxp at the Seedy Space Bar when I first jumped in-system, before going hunting for the base. It's possible that I managed to get myself blown up and forgot about it, and then the game started from the space bar again and that's why I couldn't find it to begin with, or I'm just incompetent.

That aside, the spawning should probably take place when the ship is launched from the station as well, so that if someone did head to the station and save their game, and then restarted Oolite from that saved game, they would still be able to find the base.

Anyways, I took out the base and 4 of the 6 ships, so I'm heading back to report!

I believe there is a bug in the latest version of this mission (v1.02), not sure about earlier versions. There are a couple of 'break's missing in the main mission status function's case statement which means that if the status is 'BASE_DESTROYED' it goes on through 'BASE_INTACT' rather than breaking out. As a result the mission reports the base is still intact even when you've destroyed it.

Below is a diff of a fixed version which seems to work. Thanks for an entertaining mission,

Steve

Great post bjasspa

New to the BB and not only do you find a bug, but come up with a fix as well.

The last time I wrote a post like this was for Eric Walch

That is long ago, but you are right, you have a good memory over these years
