Odd bug....

Renegade 13 · #1 December 2nd, 2004, 02:23 AM

Ok, I was going to put a screenshot up, but I messed up, so I guess I can't. Anyhow, during tactical combat in an SP game I was playing today, an enemy ship ended up with 710/710 damage. So...he was totally out of hitpoints, but the ship was still there

. All components in the component display were marked as destroyed, except for a lone organic armor (I was using the Shard Cannon, which of course bypasses armor). Can anyone explain this oddness??

too grainy to see what it is.

Yeah, sorry about that. Seems I messed up somehow when I put the screenshot up, and was editing the post and adding details as you were looking at the pic.

Indeed. It is quite impossible to read any of the text. If you need a good program to save the image in non-bitmap format, you could try IrfanView .

Edit:

Oh sure, post as I am posting...

The damage display when organic armor is in play is bugged. It does not updated properly for regeneration until the ship is hit again. The ship doesn't really have 710 damage, as a component regenerated, but the damage was not updated for the regeneration. I am not entirely sure why it would ever display 710/710 damage, but this is probably the reason...

Ok, that makes sense to a point. However, there was only ONE organic armor on the ship. So, since the Organic armor was the Last component left, and there were no other organic armors on the ship, there should be nothing to trigger the regeneration ability and nothing to regenerate, since it can not regenerate itself....can it??

So this known bug you mentioned should not apply in this situation, unless I'm totally mistaken. (Which is likely

)

So is this a bug or not?

Wow, was this a stock game or from a Mod?

Yes... why would it not be a bug? It is just a display bug, but a bug nonetheless...

This was a modded game, I was using the Devnull Mod. I'm not totally sure, but I think I've also seen this happen once before in an unmodded game. But my memory could be failing me here.
