| Summary | 0001418: 'Non-hostile' IFF issues | ||||
| Description | 'Non-hostile' IFFs have sometimes issues. Fred complains if setting ship to escort (guard) a 'non-hostile' ship. Sometimes 'non-hostiles' attack each other. No traitor messages ( = i can freely destroy them if i want to) or friendly fire warnings are shouted when attacking 'non-hostile' ship (they mostly remain completely passive). Missiles can be targeted at 'non-hostiles'. No orders can be passed either. This prevents or scales downs the possibilities of the iff_defs.tbl. So now several IFFs can not be set to actually function as a single 'IFF entity' (or team) instead they act in somewhat friendly manner without actually being friendlies. | ||||
| Additional Information | In tests while using the uploaded table file an escorting fighter having 'friendly' iff attacked 'friendly_caps' ship it was escorting. Same happened once as i attacked the 'friendly_caps' ship and the 'friendly_alt' ship that was escorting it attacked me but i was unable to target it via 'hostile targeting keys'. IMO... Some sort of expansion of the iff_defs.tbl would probably be most useful. | ||||

I have alternate iff colors code in wanderer branch which probably allow handling issues like this so i guess this can be either marked as something else than assigned or then even removed altogether as after all this is not purely a bug. |
|
|
Any objections for closing this one? Or should it be left in 'feedback' state until a code fix or then portion of wanderer branch containing the fix for this issue is added to the trunk? |

Fixed in Wanderer branch, will make it into version post-3.6.10. |
