Infinite chaff

[luminous]

For some reason I am now flying around with -17 chaff charges. I probably should be dead, but I am a fugitive who got out of a massive fight with loads of missiles being thrown at me that ended up having no effect.

I don't know what I have done to cause this as I have not messed with the OXP at all.

I do have a lot of other OXPs installed, not sure what the bug reporting procedure is, if there is one.

But that's not infinite, only going towards negative infinite. You haven't explicitly mentioned it, but I take it that you can still fire charges?

My guess is that the check for charges = 0 somehow failed, and it doesn't check for charges < 0, giving you effectively unlimited charges. That's clearly an OXP bug (or something weird happened).

As I've reported elsewhere on the boards, I have that problem (or 'problem') too.

Fair enough, just so long as it is known

I actually wanted to run out of charges, as I think the chaff is a little too powerful. I was just wanting the automatic initiation of ECM, as far too many ships wait till the last second to spam loads of missiles at me...lol
