| Summary | 0000462: "Warpout Sequence Aborted" | ||||
| Description | Every so often this message appears when you're trying to jump out at the end of a mission. I looked through the code once and I thought I pinpointed it to a player collision: if Alpha 1 collided with something, the jump would be aborted. Yet every so often this message appears even though Alpha 1 has not collided. Just now I was playing a mission where objects were consantly colliding into other objects and wondered if this code didn't actually check for *any* collision - not just a collision with Alpha 1. This needs to be investigated further. | ||||

This should be easily fixed with an extra player_involved check where a ship collides with a ship but I have yet to find where it got broken. The cpp file in question has been largely unchanged so I don't know what the problem is. By what I'm seeing this looks like it should have happened even in retail. |

Yup, it was like this even in FS1. Search for "Warpout sequence aborted" in collideshipship.cpp. It looks like this was just an ugly hack: Volition stuck the warp abort test in the collision detection routine so they wouldn't need a separate collision poll while the player ship was warping out. Simply changing this line if ( Player->control_mode == PCM_WARPOUT_STAGE1 ) { to if ( (Player->control_mode == PCM_WARPOUT_STAGE1) && ((Player_obj == A) || (Player_obj == B)) ) { should fix it, methinks. |
|
|
Just do: if ( !player_involved && (Player->control_mode == PCM_WARPOUT_STAGE1) ) { which is easier, faster, and the same thing. |

Ah, thanks, I missed that. (But it should be player_involved, not !player_involved.) :p Fixed. |
