Missions?

eep O_O; sounds like a SERIOUS phyton bug... i'll mess with it

sorry guys.

Can you try to use the dynamic_mission.py from PR or GG and see if it still happens? I'm still not seeing the problem, haven't done a mission that triggers it I guess...

Hm...
Python bugs usually just crash to desktop.
But, in any case, stderr.txt should show detailed info.
Does anything show in stderr.txt referencing python?

One of the things I tried was to copy ALL the modules/base PYCs from PR to WCU, and still had the same problem.

Again, new game, wiped universe.

I think it's a "how many missions does this base offer" counter that doesn't get reset somewhere...

Not only the PYCs... the PY files are those that matter. The PYC are precompiled files, which make things run faster. When things go awkward, it's sometimes because the PYCs are out of synch with PY files. But, what spirit says, is to copy the PY files from GG or PR because those are pretty much bugless (or that bug at least isn't there).

Ideally, at this stage you should delete the .pyc files pretty much every time you do ANYTHING to the .py files -- the "reset unvierse" batch file does that among other things.

If the mission bug goes away once you:

* put the PR py files in the WCU modules dir
* erase the pyc files
* run wcu again

then I think I know where the problem is...

Bug found and squashed

upload sometime today after I'm sure that was it.

I'd ask what it was, only I'm a wrench turner and not a programmer...

it was me being stupid

for the purpose of mission generation planets weren't counted as bases anymore.

Ok...does that effect the mining bases too? I ask, because, with the exception of flying out to New Detroit, all the problems I've noticed were at Achellies in Troy.

EDIT: well, All the troy bases too, but mostly at Achellies.

yes, the bug would appear as soon as you land on a planet.

Yes! Hope the navigation map will be fixed in the update.
