Summary0000236: Support ship will not rearm me
DescriptionUnder PhReAk's Orb build (and one other, which I cannot recall ATM), support ships will dock with me, but not rearm me. A friend of mine also found this problem using the leak-plugging builds, but it may be unrelated. Kazan's August 1st build doesn't have this problem, and is my current default build.

i just looked at this and i managed to replicate this, but it didn't occur in a clean debug build. Also when i did a clean release build it worked as well.

it looks as if a flag isn't being set when the player calls for a support ship. I couldn't see why it would work in one mission and not in another. The support ships are arriving and docking, but on one occasion it sits there and another time it rearms correctly

yet another bug note. it seems that the player's AI index is being overwritten

&Ai_info[Ships[Player_obj->instance].ai_index] != Player_ai

I doubt this is the problem but looking though the decal code I noticed in

void set_submodel_instance()
  that
if(decal_submodel_instance_depth > 7)break;
  should be
if(decal_submodel_instance_depth == 7)break;
  or it would put in a 9th place (8 total).

I don't know how often that would happen but you could look at it. I still can't recreate this problem or else I'd test it.

Strange about the decals, since I do not now, n'or have I ever used decals, either in table entries or the command line. Must be a coincidence as far as I can see.

most likely. apparently its working again in taylor's new build he just posted. taylor, did you change the submodel_instance_depth for your new build?

Yes, I made the change for the build. It was a bug whether it caused the support ship problem or not. I made a few other generic fixes as well but none that would account for the decal-only situation. It could be one of my other changes but all of them were pretty conditional and shouldn't have fixed it.

I don't get this error in the T-20040822 build, so we'll tentatively say its fixed in my book.

Crap, I forgot about this. I just commited to the possible fix to CVS. phreak, you may want to make sure this is indeed the fix by itself before closing.
