    • Problem with Turret Weapons

      I have experienced a slight problem with either turret beams or just turrets in EVO 1.0.2. I first noticed this problem while playing a Star Wars plug-in (I forget the exact name, but the folder said SW for Override or something like that) and I had a problem with firing my turrets. If I headed directly at something, then the turrets wouldn't shoot at it. However, if I broadsided it (turned sideways to it) the turrets would shoot. It was as if the turrets would only shoot to the right or left, but never forward.

      The second time I noticed it was when I was playing EVO 1.0.2, testing out one of my plug-ins that i'm working on, and the repulsor beam wouldn't shoot at something in front of me. However, that time, it was only with the beam turrets, not the normal turrets.

      It is really driving me nuts. I'd highly appreciate anyone who knows how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

      I'd take a quick look at the flags. Flags 0x1000 and 0x4000 must not be set, as they specify a blind spot to the front and rear, respectively. Also, check that the ship itself does not have these flags.

      While on the topic of that SW plug, I had a strange experience. The side turrets are probably due to a flag, but when I tried firing front-facing weapons they appeared somewhere thousands of pixels away. The same thing happened to the enemies. I would be running from 30 TIE Fighters and suddenly fly through the fire from two ships fighting on the other side of the map. This didn't happen all the time, but most of the time. Any ideas?

      To Arada Pilot: You know, I had a strange experience like that too. My weapons would shoot, but they would be far far away and hit a friendly ship. When I adjusted the memory a bit, then it was better, but my weapons firing on either side of me still far away, but I could see them. Strange and weird.
