[Closed] [Bug] docking problem

[Drako Slyith]

You can destroy other ships docked, so if you were to protect the player, you would have to protect all ships docked. In which case my wonderful trick of luring unsuspecting moltoks into hitting a metro station wouldn't work anymore

[Atarlost]

Other docked ships don't crash the game when they die.

[Drako Slyith]

true, but I've never had trouble with the game crashing when I die, even at a station.

[Amilir]

Okay, had this occur to me.
Mods: DSF 2.0, insane difficulty, G.O.D 1.4.1 (with debugOnly added)
It happened after I died and insurance kicked in while I was looting a wreck. Turning debug mode off and loading my game then fixed the bug.

It happened after I died and insurance kicked in while I was looting a wreck.

finally, specific conditions I can try to reproduce.

[digdug]

I can confirm this bug.

I insured myself with GOD mod, went next to a wreck, spawned an enemy ship (sandstorm) and quickly docked.
I died, respawned because of the insurance and then I couldn't dock anymore (no dockscreens at all, not even "S" screen)

Saving the game and reloading does NOT fix the problem.

ALT-F4 then reload DOES fix the problem.


[EDIT] made a ticket for it: http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/trac/ticket/618

[Arisaya]

But that's not what happened to me.
I just docked, and it didn't work. No insurance. (EDITED: Turns out I /did/ die during those tests, but I considered it inconsequential because I spent most of the time watching ship-ship battles)

[Arisaya]

I think it figured it out; I'm going to make a mod to confirm my theories... hold on.

[Arisaya]

By selecting test, the code in this station will delete the playership.
It will thus trigger the docking bug on reloading of the game.

Code: Select all

so, it's not related to the insurance, but every time the player dies while a dockscreen is visible, cool, nice finding
