Colossus will not attack Hawkwood
on: March 06, 2005, 01:46:26 pm
in the mission where you defend enif station - the collosus will not fire on the hawkwood


[edit] for those that don't read the thread

as i've said in this thread already


A) it wasn't the ignore-target bug
B) it was a build-specific bug
C) that bug doesn't exist in the latest CVS tree, along with the bug that was preventing me from using latest CVS having been fixed

And is this a bug? If so, why are you posting it here, instead of Mantis ;)

I just tried this with the latest CVS and it worked fine.

Did you send any orders to your wingmen? I didn't.

I've played in both D3D and OGL recently and had no problems with engine glows.

We had this topic a month or 2 ago, I think you must have given your wingmen the "Ignore My Target" order.  Funnily enough it was in the exact same mission.  I remember once I tried to save my wingmen in high noon by oredering them to ignore the Sathanas.  THe ships then ignored each other and flew off for about 60000 Metres.

The "ignore target" bug has been around and known for ages, particularly in that mission.  For whatever reason it is much more obvious there than anywhere else.  However, seeing as Kazan has been around forever, I sincerely hope that he's already tried not doing that.

Nothing else in the mission can kill the Hawkwood. So basically you're stuck sitting around waiting for the Colossus to do it.

Actually, if you wait long enough, the Hawkwood will destroy the Colossus.

Yea, I remember seeing this being discussed a few months back.
Something like "form up" or "ignore target" one of those.

Kaz, this happens occasionally, and it's not an ignore target bug. replay the mission and it'll most likely work.

This is a bit off topic, but I think that bug really needs to be fixed at some point.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Carl, I've had the same problem occasionally, and no, it sometimes won't.

Actually, no, it didn't, I had to switch to a different build to get past the problem.
