| Summary | 0000313: Pegasus Weapon and Tech profile mismatch | ||||
| Description | In ship selection Pegasus' tech profile reads two gun mounts and one missile bank, however, in the weapons loadout screen the Pegasus has one gun mount and two missile banks. If it's of any importance, I first noticed this in the "Endgame" mission. | ||||

Cam someone verify wheter this happens without the MediaVP? |
|

It's not the mediaVPs, it happens with other Volition models too. Some of them just have the wrong techroom description data, probably because the models were changed due to balance issues and the description text was never corrected. I added some code to read the info directly from the file if A) the model is loaded (Meaning either a needed icon for the ship isn't present or -ship_choice_3d was used) and B) no description text is found. Fixing this would mean to override the descriptions with the actual data from the model. It'd correct problems like this, where table entries weren't updated to reflect the actual model's characteristics, but would technically be breaking backwards compatibility. (With the new loadout lines, it might be a good idea to override if the model's present and the information can be gleaned from it, or else any errors will become glaringly obvious.) |

Does anyone have any opinions on this? It seems like something perhaps worth a commandline, or debate in the forums. |
|
|
Probably an oversight on V's part. I doubt anyone would notice someone changing the description for something so minor |
|
|
if we can't fix this , resolve it with can't fix. |

Well, there are ways we could take care of it 1) Update the tables in the mediaVP. Takes the most work, but it'd fix it for Volition ships a long as people have mv_effects installed. 2) Change the code to grab the data from the ships table (From the Pbanks and Sbanks definitions rather than the tech description line). Problem is, this would require either hacking in ship names (Not gonna happen) or overriding all ships with the proper values. Not a bad thing in and of itself, unless a mod wants "Four" instead of "4" or something. 3) Change the code to grab the values from the model files. For Volition ships, this would only apply when someone was using ship_choice_3d. 4) Not fix it and let people deal with it. |

These are all messy possibilities. I vote for (4), with (1) as an option if anyone feels like doing it. This is user error and thus only a mediaVP issue, at the very most. |

WMC: Are you going to MVP this or should I close it? |
|
|
Remind me when we start talking about post 3.6.6 releases. |
|
|
Reminder sent to WMCoolmon Reminder sent. Either change the MVP tables or close it, your choice. :) |
|
|
Reminder sent to WMCoolmon We need to close this bug somehow. What's your decision? :p |
|
|
Fixed. Also, the Pegasus has 2 gun mounts and 2 missile banks. Mount != bank. |
