| Summary | 0000724: Ships become 'phantoms' - Inferno | ||||
| Description | I've noticed that smaller ships will disappear from the mission entirely, but the game considers them still in the targeting list. Any directives and objectives which rely upon some state consider them still 'in play'. If you target them the lead indicator appears at the top left of the screen and does not move, regardless of what direction you're facing. They do not render in the battlefield nor on the bottom left HUD window. You can still issue them orders via the wingman command window. This occurred to me while playing mission 17 - the two Apothess destroyers remained but all of the fighter cover turned into phantom ships. It happened to allied and Shivan fighters alike. Another run through the mission worked as expected, so it does not occur all the time. | ||||
| Additional Information | This bug is known to occur with the fs2_open_r-Inf20060116.exe (16/01/05 CVS) Inferno build. | ||||

Forgot to mention my command line: -spec -glow -jpgtga -mipmap -nomotiondebris -2d_poof -dualscanlines -orbradar -ballistic_gauge -ship_choice_3d -snd_preload -ambient_factor 0.9 |

|
is it similar to bug 0000694? |
|
|
Seems like it... Did it happen to you, that YOU "disappear"? Everything around you goes black (either with a green line, a red line or no line from one corner of the Screen to another)? Seems like those ships get catapulted out of the area with an speed of NAN ;) |
|
|
That hasn't happened to me yet - the only similarity between the two bugs seems to be that the ship doesn't render in the HUD and it happens without warning. I'll experiment further to see what happens with it. |
|
|
Is this with R2 (or other not-publicly-released version) of Inferno, or something else? I only have R1 and it doesn't appread to have 17 missions, which is why I ask. If this isn't a public release are there any other available missions which demonstrate the same problem? (Or just give me access to the current Inferno data, PM me or something). |
|
|
Yes, it's with our non-public R2 data. I'll PM Woomeister and ask him if he can give you access - I know Goober, phreak and redmenace already have it. In the meantime, if it helps at all, the problem has appeared sometime between fs2_open_r-Inf20051008.exe and fs2_open_r-Inf20060116.exe. I will try to narrow it down for you, but the sporadic nature of this bug makes it difficult to track down. |
|
|
See if it happens in newest CVS builds... There should be a fix in it since yesterday... At least for bug 0000694... |
|
|
I tried the mission in question and it worked fine with current CVS. Give it a try yourself with the next build and if it's fixed then I'll mark this as a duplicate of 694. |
|
|
* BUMP * Any update on whether or not this is fixed in newer builds? |
|
|
Assuming this is fixed. Reopen if it's not. |
|
|
Fixered. |
