Official Bug List [obsolete]

I retired the older thread, since I have already addressed the bugs in it. Please post new bugs in here. And why have there been no reports since October? Surely there are more bugs! Wink

Please post a list of fixed bugs since 0.15.10. Just to prevent redundant reports.

>0.15.10 [Reported this a while ago, but don't remember any response]<
1. Pirate and Nomad races need a copy of Research Center/Ancestral Meeting Grounds HW facilities for high-tech start games. They should have a small amount of resource generation, else their HW will start with 3 facility only (SP+SY+RD).

Here is a preliminary history file for 0.16.00...

1. Added - Added the following races to the mod: Dwarf, Doppleganger, Sev, SJ, Toltayan, Eee, Ghizrea, Sonne, Tylmai, Vidrihne
2. Added - AI racial trait, designed to add items used to browbeat the AI into behaving correctly. Note that there will be no special AI cheating features from this trait. These will merely be tools for getting the AI to create valid ship designs and such.
3. Fixed - AI empires will no longer design premature colony ships before they have the appropriate technologies.
4. Changed - Space Monster racial traits now cost 15000 each. Space Monster AIs are now set up to take the Imperial Aspirations trait to cancel this out.
5. Fixed - Start Level of Arc Weapons tech area is now 0 instead of 1.
6. Removed - Standard AI Mount was redundant and has been removed.
7. Fixed - Description of Metabolist Nucleon is no longer too long.
8. Changed - Revamped shield generators.
9. Changed - Ship Construction tech areas are now seperated into 4 techs, so as to reduce the massive research costs.
10. Changed - Added a new size of Transport.
11. Changed - Revamped Carrier and Transport tech reqs to be more in line with the sizes of warships available with the same technologies.
12. Changed - Vehicle ability tags no longer list "bonuses" and "penalties" for maintenance reduction. Instead, the base maintenance rate is listed.
13. Changed - Research Outposts are no longer available to Nomads. Nomads should use their Research Team components instead.
14. Changed - Reversed Life Support and Crew Quarter requirements.
15. Changed - Fighter Bays are now 60 kT instead of 30 kT. Fighter Bay mounts available only to carrier hulls make them 50% size.
16. Changed - Revamped Stealth Armor and Stealth Shielding. They no longer count as armor, provide less of an ECM bonus, and scale in size with the ship hull.

Not sure if this has already been addressed but it is the only thing I can think of atm -

The Nanoparasite Weapons tech areas description is for '*foo* Gravitational Weapons' & it appears listed under 'Weapon Technology' not 'Weapon Adaptation' (so it appears at the bottom of the research screen)

Playing as a nomadic organic race, I noticed that the research components seem to allow only one component per ship to be effective, including the small research teams. The evolution chamber (for hives) also seems a bit borked, possibly in conjunction with the lesser research chambers. I'm not sure of the exact mechanics there, only that my research points kept fluctuating, while my home planet had a constant production.

I have found a problem (in all versions up to 0.15.02, 1st found in 0.14.10) with the Orgainic Paradigm tech areas (Physical & Magical are O.K. Wink

)
'Evolutionary Biology' - has a max level of 1 (the other paras equivelents maxs are 2)
'Organic Resource Manipulation' - needs 'Evolutionary Biology' of 2! Shocked

and since 'Organic Quantum Mechanics' needs 'Organic Resource Manipulation' it will also be missing from the tech tree.
This will also means that you can never get the 'Recyclotron'! Sad

*bugs fyron for a patch for adamant 14 and 15*

Fyron · Galactic Guru Joined: Aug 04, 2003 Location: CA, USA

I need to make another new patch for 0.14.xx line and 0.15.xx line to remove to hit bonuses from WP hulls... Any other ugly bugs need fixing?

XenoTheMorph · Space Emperor Joined: Dec 19, 2004

1. The '0.16.xx Dev' version still has the cosmetic issue with 'Nanoparasite Weapons' where the Techarea is under 'Weapon Technology' not 'Weapon Adaptation' (as all the other organic paradigm weapons are classed) & the Techarea desciption is identicle to '*foo* Gravitational Weapons' not done for nanoparasites.

2. *suggestion* Maybe you should make the 'Recylotron' an upgrade to the ''Resource converters'', since it is better, cheaper than even the best of them & even has extra abilities. This would mean that there would be little chance of planets getting less advanced facilities.

3. Also the .bmp files in the '0.16.xx Dev' cause an issue with win 98 (& 95?). It is the old dodgy win2000/xp .bmp file header issue, I have not been able to check exactly which file/s are causing the problem but it did not go away after resaving all the .bmp in pictures/races/, and only solved itself when I did all .bmp in the '0.16.xx Dev' folder.

Found some issues with galaxy creation. Will sometimes get planets out of bounds, and other wierd glitchs when generating a NO AST BELT map.

It appears that some of the Standard No AS Systemtypes have a couple of "same as x" that point to invalid objects.

I was rooting around in the files for adamant 0.14.xx & the last Dev (0.16.xx) that I got awhile ago and I have noticed that for the organic paradigm that Bioconstruction has a max level of 2 but nothing seems to require above level 1! Not sure about any of the other paras but you might want to check. Wink

Small typos in .15.04 - Graviton Missile 2 only has 16 damage numbers in components.txt. Massive Shield Depleter 1 only has 18, Massive Shield Depleter 2 only has 19. Anti-proton Beam 9 and phased - poloaron beam 6 have 21.

MS Excel says there's a strange character just after Phased-ploaron beam 1: Tech Req 2 title. (Tech Req 2# := )

None of these have affected my gameplay, but my worksheets are annoyed. Rolling Eyes

Strictly speaking, having 20 range increments is not actually necessary. Missing values will be treated as 0. You might want to set up your spreadsheet to do this automatically. Extras for direct fire weapons will either be ignored or let you fire at that range (for non-zero values), I forget which at the moment. For a seeking weapon, a 21st range value with damage (assuming the 20 before it have non-zero values) will give the seeker unlimited range. Damage at all ranges beyond 20 will use the damage in the 21st slot.

I have corrected the typos for 0.16.00, however.

Well I've noticed that 'Mana Shard Generator VII' is unavailable since it has invalid tech requirements -

Tech Area Req 1 := Spell of Teleportation
Tech Level Req 1 := 4

The 'Spell of Teleportation' tech are only goes to level 3 Wink

This is in all versions including the latest 0.16.xx Dev.

Mabye this is more of a newbie question, but here it is: i cannot seem to get the Point defense misslies to work. They can only target "seekers" but they don't fire sautomatically and I can't fire them by clicking becuse I can't click on seekers.

It's an SE:IV bug. Seekers can't target seekers...

But if you do a combat replay...

Heh, sorry Rolling Eyes

Fyron · Galactic Guru Joined: Aug 04, 2003 Location: CA, USA

No need to be sorry. I should probably add that to their descriptions.

Rathan · Space Emperor Joined: Jun 07, 2005

Or bug Aaron Hall for another patch. Razz
