Now playing VS for a couple of hours I stumbled upon a problem with those cargo wingmen who would simply refuse to give up their freedom and allow themselves to be tractored back in. I can't really blame them, but still ... .
Anyway, looking aroung in the wiki, forum and finally in the source code I might just as well share what I found out.
The Wingmen Problem
catching a fighter with tractor beam mounted on a mule is kind of impossible
but then, there is vegastrike.config and the possibility to add
[code] <bind key="X" modifier="none" command="CommDockWithMe"/> [/code]
unfortunately ... it doesn't work (well they get the message right but they rather buzz off into space)
took me some time but I guess that's why
[code]LeadMe ("g","Get in front of me and prepare to be tractored in.", false);[/code]
should probably be
[code]LeadMe ("l","Get in front of me and prepare to be tractored in.", false);[/code]
/trunk/vegastrike/src/cmd/ai/firekeyboard.cpp, Revision 12353, Line 780
(sorry no patch yet because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing...
)Looking through the code, I also stumbled on something that might be a tiny bug: The K, k problem for flightgroup directives:
/trunk/vegastrike/src/cmd/ai/aggressive.cpp , Revision 12381 , Line 660
[code]if (fg->directive.find("k")!=string::npos||fg->directive.find("k")!=string::npos) {[/code]
should be ??
[code]
if (fg->directive.find("k")!=string::npos||fg->directive.find("K")!=string::npos) {[/code]
just because all the other directives use that capital letter thing for priorities ...
