incorrect flashers in Coriolis shipdata

Post by Commander McLane »

By chance I stumbled across the new subentity definition for the Coriolis in 1.74.2 which uses dictionaries instead of the traditional strings (Dodec and Ico continue to use the old-style subentity definitions).

I noticed a typo for flashers #7 and 12. Their phase should be -1.4, not -1.2.

If I understand this correctly... the error won't trigger a message in logger, only visual issues?

Verified. I just changed it in trunk.

Yes, and only in the vanilla docking bay of a vanilla Coriolis station, where the second and third flasher on each side would flash simultaneously, thereby breaking the "line" of five flashers which lead you into the docking bay. However, it is hard to notice even visually. I just stumbled across it while I examined the shipdata. It seemed an obvious c&p error, and is now corrected for the next version.
