Flare and navroute bugs..

Jan 08, 2006 sissoko link
first: im running a iMac G5 and osx 10.4.3

Yesterday i had my game do strange things, like when i died in a taur III with dual agt and flare and heavy batt, i opted for the buy new ship in sedina L2 where i was homed and i came out with the same ammount of flares as i had before i died, namely 5. so the new ship didnt give me a full tube of flares. this happened only once..

the second is the navroute. i was going to sedina b8 from Odia H6 in an agresso with dual megaposi and flare/n2 (dont remember) with FC batt/ or agresso with dual agt/flare and heavybatt..
previoius i mapped odia H6 directly to Sedina b8, but this time...

I had plotted Odia H5 ->wh to sedina ->sedina C7 ->Sedina B8

But when leaving sedina O6 the navcomp jumped me straight to B8 skipping the C7, and to prove this, when i popped in B8 and spawned at Odia H6 again the nav route was still flashing the same. the nav points had not been consumed. ,

Nothing gamebreaking but still i felt i should report it..

With the navroute part, were you using /navroute add System Sector or were you clicking the mouse on the map?

If you were using the mouse, were you remembering to hold down the shift key the whole time?

I used my mouse to click, but if i recall correctly i first plottet straight from odia h6 to sedina B8 by clicking on sedina b8, then i later changed it to include shift+click sedina c7 then b8.

it has never happened that the navigation have put me in another sector than i specified on the map.

Ah, that makes more sense.

You still had your route to b8 plotted, and then you added on to c7 and then back to b8.

What you should have done was non-shift-click c7, then shift-click b8.

It's not a bug, it's just an old habit you probably picked up from RTS.
