| Summary | 0001417: Carrier can hit fighter with turrets when fighter is inside landing bay | ||||
| Description | When a fighter flies into the carrier's landing bay and attacks the carrier, the carrier's turrets can successfully target and hit the fighter. Maybe it's a cowardly approach, but I always attacked carriers this way in WCIII. So, I can't as easily do that anymore. The real impact here, though, is suspension of disbelief. Clearly, a carrier cannot shoot inside itself (without damaging itself anyway) so the fighter should be protected from the carrier's guns when inside the landing bay. | ||||

I didn't realize that this was the FreeSpace 2 reporting interface as opposed to Wing Commander Saga. Maybe you can pass this on to them. I saw no way of reporting bugs on their website. |

They don't have Mantis, but you can make a post on their http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=46.0. This sounds like it may be a model issue. There was code to take care of this, by Bobboau, but it was removed from CVS for breaking backwards compatibility. |
|
|
Wasn't there purely turret specific (turret flag) version existing for a little while too? One which would have been optional and hence would not break the backwards compatibility. Though i think it got removed too for some reason. |

Bobboau's version was optional, so that's probably what you are thinking of. The problem was that Bobboau added a BUNCH of code in a single commit, and most of it had some pretty serious issues. As such, all of it had to get reverted. I do have all of the changes though, so as soon as 3.6.10 ships I'm going to go back through and re-commit the things that did/do work, like the turret flag for not shooting through the hull. |

|
Support for the "check hull" flag is now in the trunk. It was a smaller change than I had expected, so it should be good for 3.6.10. Fixered. |
