I think I've also seen this in PI mod, in the Anubis mk II missions. Sometimes some of your guns or even your turret doesn't fire if there's a lot of action. (My PC is down, so I cannot test it right now). |

Please provide exact steps needed to reproduce it. Also, be very specific about the expected vs. actual effects. |

This problem is caused by the total weapons hitting 350, which is the current value of MAX_WEAPONS. This can be fixed by making Weapons dynamic. EDIT: Actually, making Weapons dynamic doesn't help much. The mission I'm testing on (Through the Red Line from shiv's Battlecruiser Archangel campaign) seems to just be too much for FSO. Even with dynamic weapons, it only takes it a couple of seconds to hit the object limit. EDIT2: The object count for that mission hit 1449 in one test. The weapon count hit 1168. |

Any updates or ideas how to fix this bug? |
|
|
Shiv_pl, which mission is causing you problems? |
|
|
I don't think there's really a way to fix it short of making slower-spawning weapons. Making weapons dynamic is still a good idea though. It'll alleviate, but not eliminate, the problem. |

This bug report is too vague to be very useful. Regardless, Diaspora has focused much more attention on weapon management, and they have added engine enhancements to handle missions with greater weapon counts. Closing ticket. |
