Please write down any issues here... try to add to previously reported bugs rather than listing the same bug twice. Use four tilde (~) characters in a row to sign your name after your bug report

Current Bugs:

• lag when another player joins hellcatv 19:25, 22 August 2006 (PDT)
  • also when someone respawns
• Spec is always allowed hellcatv 19:26, 22 August 2006 (PDT)
  • Doesn't drain energy
• no damage from ship-ship collisions dandandaman 04:16, 24 August 2006 (PDT)
  • rebound happens, but no damage (hull, shield or armour) results
• Extra shots fired --eddit 06:36, 25 August 2006 (PDT)
  • When you fire once, sometimes get extra shots fired
    • We should ignore server instructions to START firing if the weapon was preemptively fired (as a lag reduction measure)... hellcatv 15:57, 31 August 2006 (PDT)
  • Happens with missiles as well
    • Only bolt style missiles
  • Currently I'm using a pacifier
• Missile remaining counts incorrect --eddit 06:43, 25 August 2006 (PDT)
  • When you launch missiles, the number of missiles remaining sometimes jump up after a shot!
    • server thinks you fired a different number---being updated for the fast missiles is going to have to be a solution (either that or laggy shots) hellcatv 15:57, 31 August 2006 (PDT)
  • Currently I'm using a pacifier
• Problems withe the chat system --www2 11:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • When your press the chat key than disable all filght controll.

• Server completely ignores python blocks in missionsspiritplumber 18:29, 30 August 2006 (PDT)
• Accidental disconnect(cable yank) leaves a ghost -- add a heartbeat/deadman switch?spiritplumber 18:29, 30 August 2006 (PDT)
• in mission files, client is allowed to spawn stuff, which is then "braindead"

• Missiles don't always fire, and sometimes launcher with 0 is selected
  • cycling through missile types seems to resolve it---clearly something to do with active mounts
  • I think it's fixed hellcatv 00:20, 24 August 2006 (PDT)
  • Still seems to be a problem --eddit 06:48, 25 August 2006 (PDT)
  • Ugh...not sure why :-( the cycle fix should have done it...Can you desccribe an easy way to repro it now ...I sometimes get it too... hellcatv 15:59, 31 August 2006 (PDT)
    • Can't reproduce the problem... which ship and loadout---and what were the missile counts when it fails--and are you sure the server is actually keeping the lock? i.e. was the target stationary... maybe on server side the target fell out of your cone

Old Bugs:

• hundreds of CMD_TARGET(0) requests presumably from dead or nontargetting players
  • Fixed hellcatv 22:45, 23 August 2006 (PDT)
• when respawning can be locked into talk mode
  • Fixed hellcatv 01:19, 24 August 2006 (PDT)
• esc should quit talk mode
  • Fixed hellcatv 01:19, 24 August 2006 (PDT)
• should zoom in when respawned
  • Fixed hellcatv 01:19, 24 August 2006 (PDT)
• Torps shouldn't last as long
  • fixed...if they have lost their target they expire in 30 seconds (config var) hellcatv 00:58, 24 August 2006 (PDT)
• Ejects are irksome...they should either...expire... or ... never be created
  • Fixed (physics, eject_live_time in config) so that eject seats expire after a while hellcatv 00:32, 24 August 2006 (PDT)
