That is technically not a bug, but I need to adjust where they're going better.

Got the other bugs fixed, checking out the Monitor to make sure it's OK here now.

[xenoargh]

Build 18 is now available.  Thanks for all of the quick bug-hunting, everybody

All reported bugs fixed.  The weird issue with ships starting off the border should not happen in the campaign.
Flux Drain system is now more visually obvious.

This patched build should be savegame-compatible with build 17.

Build 19.  Caught the issue with collision avoidance, which effected all big ships; fixed it.

[xenoargh]

Oh, and lastly, before I call it a day...

Dmaiski, the inaccuracy problem you're talking about is directly related to the problem of "tolerance"; basically, I added a fudge-factor so that the AI would shoot when targets get within 60 degrees, because otherwise the fixed-mount weapons weren't firing often enough.  This is a big problem with things like the frontal-mount weapons on big, wide ships like the Dominator, where they simply aren't able to bring all their weapons to bear on targets.

However, this leads to certain slow-firing weapons missing a lot, since they're firing a little too early.

Some thoughts on that; since it's not possible to dynamically alter the weapon arcs, perhaps the best fix is to simply get rid of the "tolerance" kludge and to make all arcs have a minimum value that will allow all of them to engage properly.  I just haven't done this because it's not as visually pretty for fixed-mount stuff, but that really is the best, fairest solution.

The other solution is to set the tolerance for slow-firing weapons to zero, so that they're forced to fire only when it would actually be able to hit.  I may try that first and see if that works well enough.

Anyhow, please let me know if you find any other bugs; I want to work on integrating that giant boss thing and maybe, just maybe, work on integration with that new shader system- I think that's going to take a while, though, so I'm inclined to make sure we're bug-free first.

[xenoargh]

Build 20.  Definitely bedtime now, lol. 

Improved auto-aim accuracy for slow-firing weapons; things like the Gauss should work reliably now, without missing wildly due to bad tolerance values.  The only exception I made for this is beams and missiles, mainly to cover rocket pods.  Built-in, slow-firing rocket pods, on the other hand, will perhaps not fire like they should, since they're all lumped into BUILT_IN.  This effects only one ship in the game (the Demander) so, eh, whatever.

Fixed a bug where weapons would register targets but never complete aiming under weird circumstances.

Neither fix is totally optimized; this added two math steps to each n^2 cycle through the all-powerful vacuumIsInArc(), which is bad practice, considering how hard I had to work to get it so clean... but I CBA to fix it properly tonight.  Still, it's an improvement

Not sure if this is already on your radar/hit list:

- Lost a battle (my first one lol! ) hit [Esc] then it crashed.

Think it's looking to give me a shuttle to restart with and can't find it??

Richy.

[xenoargh]

Hrmm.  That's a weird one.  There isn't a "shuttle" entry in that list.  I wonder if that's hardcoded

[xenoargh]

Got it; grep parser replaced "shuttle" line in the JSON with "independent_shuttle", which caused the crash, as the "shuttle" field is hard-coded.  Fixed build comin' up in a few moments

[xenoargh]

Build 21 is now available.

Fixes crash when player has lost all ships in their fleet.

Should not require a restart.

[Ranakastrasz]

Crashes with Radar mod, and it disables Target Leading Pip when you enable it.

Combat Radar is already installed- I'll look at that bug but basically, you don't need it, it's already there. 

I have no idea about the Leading Pip thing, talk to the author.

[Ranakastrasz]

Ah,that explains it. Thanks

[Richyread]

Build 21 is now available.

Fixes crash when player has lost all ships in their fleet.

Should not require a restart.

You sir are a star Thank you!

I only wish my ISP were as quick as you at responding to problems...damn degrading connection

Richy

[MesoTroniK]

The earlier versions of the Target leading PIP and Combat Radar were incompatible with each other. Both the Radar and the PIP were updated to no longer conflict.

I am going to assume that the radar that is integrated into Vacuum is not based on the newest version.

[xenoargh]

Yeah, and without spending time looking at a diff, I have no idea what was changed by whom and when.  I'll ask LazyWizard when I get a chance, probably it's something pretty simple.
