[Agusfri]

With this revision some sound effects are low volume, and Before someone say about it i have sound device in generic software. this issue with the sound not the case with the 3612

[Spoon]

Something fishy is going on with either beam damage or special hit points in this build.

[Axem]

Yeah there's something reeeeally fishy going on.

Test Case 1:
Hostile Aeolus fires an SGreen at a special hitpoints Fenris with 100hp and an untouched Fenris.
Result: No damage to either.

Test Case 2:
Hostile Aeolus fires an SGreen at a special hitpoints Fenris with 100hp and an untouched Hippocrates.
Result: Fenris dies, Hippocrates takes no damage.

Test Case 3:
Hostile Aeolus fires an SGreen at an untouched Fenris and an untouched Hippocrates.
Result: Both take expected damage.

 

[FUBAR-BDHR]

I just ran similar tests:

Test 1:  Untouched Fenris and Hippocrates.  Both ships reduced to 79% hull

Test 2.  Fenris at 5000 special hits, untouched Hippocrates.  Fenris at 58% Hippo at 79%

Test 3.  Fenris at 100 special hits and untouched Hippo.  Dead Fenris and Hippo at 83% (at least until it got whacked by a chunk of the Fenris) I quit there. 

[The E]

And this isn't on Mantis, why?

[chief1983]

Not in 6760?

[Echelon9]

Not in 6760?

Yes, sure it's not one of the recent changes that actually touched the beam code? My Verify() NULL pointer protection changes should see an error reported if they are hit, not silent oddities...

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Found the cause.  One of the traitor beam checks was causing a premature return before the damage.  Only happens randomly and if the firing ship is not friendly.  Have a fix ready just waiting on word from Axem.
