Overlays, Gaian Processor, Etc...

This flashed across my screen at one point. No idea what it means, but I'm pretty sure its not supposed to say that.

Could you include the relevant snippet from your Debug.log?

Also, are you using any mods that use either (objDamage) or overlays?

[Aeonic]

Oh, sorry.

Only mods that I'm using are a few custom playerships (nothing special included) and some Foomerian ships which fly around on their own like Xenophobes - again, nothing special.

Sounds like pteravor-related flop that had nothing to do with the mods... Probably some unnatural-special case thing... perhapse relating to the lack of shields on the gaians?

Foomerians use an overlay, though, to generate huntresses at random intervals after you kill a yacht.

Code: Select all

	<OverlayType UNID="&ovFooBounty;">
		<Events>
			<OnUpdate>
				(block nil
					(if (eq (random 1 1000) 1)
						(shpOrderAttack (sysCreateShip &scFooHuntress; (objGetNearestStargate gPlayerShip) &svDestructiveChaos;) 

gPlayership)
					)
				)
			</OnUpdate>
		</Events>
	</OverlayType>

It's called in only one place:

Code: Select all

<Globals>
(block Nil
	(setq FooShipDestroyed (lambda (chance)
		(block nil
			(if chance
				(if (eq (random 1 chance) 1)
					(shpOrderAttack (sysCreateShip &scFooHuntress; (objGetNearestStargate aOrderGiver) &svDestructiveChaos;) 

aOrderGiver)
				)
				(if (eq aOrderGiver gPlayership)
					(objAddOverlay gPlayerShip &ovFooBounty; (ObjGetPos gPlayership) (random 200 2000))
					(shpOrderAttack (sysCreateShip &scFooHuntress; (objGetNearestStargate aOrderGiver) &svDestructiveChaos;) 

aOrderGiver)
				)
			)
		)
	))
)
</Globals>

which is called in <onDestroyed> events on all the foomerian ships, though only the yacht calls it with nil and creates the overlay.

I just tricked a sandstorm into getting stuck with two pteravores in the HD11901 system right before heritic. There was a pteravore hive and he flew between me and the hive in it's death spawns, two of them stuck to the sandstorm.


when it died this flashed up

Code: Select all

I bet it's that AI ships don't have fuel. That one ship in Heretic has special events to handle ptervores but no other AI ships do.

Thanks, I think I found the problem:

Looks like a bad pointer inside of (objDamage) when the damage causes the ship to be destroyed. Fixed in RC3.

Thanks for everyone's help!
