During some playtesting for a mod, I played an entire game and was quite surpised to find that Kate was angry with me when I reached Heretic so I put a tiny mod together to test it.

I added some debug code, but otherwise the code is unmodified:

Code: Select all

(block Nil
	(switch
		; OK if Kate leaves
		(eq aDestroyReason 'enteredStargate)
			Nil
			
		; If player destroyed Kate's ship, then she remembers
		(and gPlayerShip (eq aOrderGiver gPlayerShip))
			(typSetGlobalData &svCorporate; "statusKateM" 'destroyedByPlayer)
		
		; Otherwise, we remembed that she was destroyed
		(typSetGlobalData &svCorporate; "statusKateM" 'destroyed)
		)
	(dbgLog "Kate morgental destroyed reason: "aDestroyReason)
	(dbgLog "statusKateM data: "(typGetGlobalData &svCorporate; "statusKateM"))
	)
I can't determine what exactly aDestroyReason is. Debug.txt shows the following:
Start logging session
Transcendence 1.01
Loading extension: Extensions\kateTest
Kate morgental destroyed reason:
statusKateM data: destroyed
End logging session
Coming soon: The Syrtian War adventure mod!
A Turret defense genre mod exploring the worst era in Earth's history.
Can you defend the Earth from the Syrtian invaders?
Stay tuned for updates!

From what I can tell, a ship gating out is considered a ship destroyed. I used G.O.D. mod to order Kate's ship to hold after the mission ended and she was happy to see me at Heritic.

She also had a habit of not recognising the player at all in heretic. Not sure if that is fixed...I've been mod-testing for too long.
Mischievous local moderator. She/Her pronouns.

Definitely a bug! Thank you--I'll check it out. Probably aDestroyReason is not getting set properly when a ship enters a gate.

Erm... I had another bug with Kate, but I had a lot of mods.. She didn't attack the Black Market station.. Is this happening because of my mods or is it a bug?
If you cannot say something nice about somebody, you better don't say anything.

WE can break corporate cruisers because they mount two launchers.

If you have WE it is responsible. I know other mods that could cause the problem.

yes, that's a known bug in the latest version of WE. Kate simply circles the station and do not attack. Usually I destroy the station and then Kate docks with it, resolving the problem, but you get the BM against you. :(

You should do a temporary patch and just not randomize corporate cruisers at all.
