Low Priority: Wrong object in Tau Ceti/Arima System (resolved)

[Vandal]

As I was completing TOD1M1 I noticed that the supply depot in this system looks identical to Tulon - Multination/Raider station. They also over lap which might cause game problems if one is destroyed and then rebuilt. Nothing too major though.

More info please. A screen shot would be nice too.

Ok, I'll take some recon photos for you after I get back from Thanksgiving dinner, just woke up and now I gotta go get ready.

I noticed the same thing at Pixan.

Pixan is orbiting the planet and there is an identical "twin" starstation right next to it called "supply platform.3d"

They are both type 4 stations and are both multinational/raiders.

Found and fixed. Thanks Andergum. The info you gave made it easier since all I had to do was search for Pixan. It happens over at Wraith and other station regions.

It is a case of cut 'n paste gone wild, in the world script.

Gallion, in your version of glob_dyn.scr, you will see the errors around line #298

e.g.

This:

mixed raider,,pixan_sp,pixan,supply_platform.3d,supply_station

Should be:

mixed raider,,pixan_sp,supply_platform.3d,supply_station

As you can see, the second occurence of 'pixan' is actually a valid station (Pixan) class name. So, it uses it as the model for the supply platform and propagates the subsequence params to the other fields as supported by the [dynamic] block.

From Pixan, you will see that about four more after it need modifying. I know you are working on your own scripts, so I wanted you to know. I will send you my glob_dyn.scr later once I have tested all this.

I will probably release another interim patch tomorrow.

I have uploaded a world script update for this issue.

Just unzip into your BCM 1.0.01 folder and overwrite existing files.
