Title: No Warpin Effects Since 10/29
Post by: Trivial Psychic on November 13, 2005, 11:03:54 pm
I was gonna Mantis this after completing my research, but PhReAk beat me to it... bug-0000619 (http://lore.maxgaming.net/~scp/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000619).  Basically, in almost ANY circumstance, no ship warping-in will generate a warp effect.  It'll behave as though you'd selected the "don't show warp" option under the arrival cues.  I said "almost", because I've encountered one situation where it DOES generate a warpin, but I haven't been able to determine why... yet.  I have a hunch, and I've prepared a test mission.  If it doesn't generate a warp for it, then I'm stumped.

If it's in Mantis, why are you posting about it? :p

It seemed, to my eyes, that little attention was being paid to it.  I was hoping that exposure would build momentum.

As it turns out, under builds 10/30 through 11/13, the only ships that will generate warpin effects are those that have something or somethings docked to them.  Note, this is posted for the benefit of the non-coders such as myself, as I see that by Goob's bugnote on Mantis, that he (and thus, the rest of the team) are already aware of the culprit.

I eagerly await the next CVS build.

Ahh, my guess was that it was something that I'd accidentally broke with the player warpout speed variable.

It was only on Mantis for one day!  You need to be more patient.

I had mentioned it to Taylor before the Mantis was posted.  He requested some feedback, which I gave him.  I had hoped further exposure would bring more coding might to bare on it.  It seems that it was unnecessary.
