I made a new weapon. I take aim at a leviathan, and half the time, my shots go through the blasted thing! What is up with this? When they do hit, sometimes they are partway through the leviathan by the time they hit. This does not happen when fireing on the pegasus.
Anyone got any thoughts on this? Is this a problem with the target ship or the weapon?
Running under win nova, if its a platform spesific bug.
Thanks

Is it a beam weapon by any chance? I remember there being lots of problems with them a while ago. Supposed to have been fixed by now.

I'm guessing it had a spinning sprite? Make sure that each frame has a mask. Without it, hits might not be recognised. You haven't altered the target ship in any way have you?

Each shot frame has a mask.
The leviathan graphics have not been altered.

I've noticed this with the FPCs even in standard Nova - especially against Auroran Cruisers. When attacking the broadside the shots hit fine but as soon as the two ships are in line with one another the shots go right through. Does this problem happen with any other weapons or just the FPCs?

Well lets find out.... back in 15 mins with your answer.
Bah. Blasted bit 333! Cant find any aurora cruisers. Later today i will dl the capship fix plug and try killing some innocent aurorans.
I have discovered:
It definately occurs with med blaster, fpc, my weap, and hail changuns shooting at leviathans, especially shooting lengthwise. At one angle,. they ALL go through.
It is not weapon spesific.

Must be a problem with the ship or engine then. Maybe it's missing a mask for one angle?

Opened it up (DeRLE'd and looked) on a mac, and the masks for the Leviathan look fine. Has this problem been observed on macs?

Yes, and I've seen it in SFA as well.

It is better to feed the goat than it is today.

Okay. That makes me feel better (ie, its more likely to be fixed).
Do we know what things cause it? Is this unique to large ships? Animated ships? Large animated ships?
In any case, this sounds like an engine bug.....
