permanent missions

Post by energyman76b »

Hi,

I have a problem with missions. I accept them, I fullfill them and get paid. They are not shown in game anymore. I land, save game, load game - the mission is back.

How do I get rid of these zombies? Just deleting the lines results in a ship without enhancements and weapons - not fun.

I've been experiencing this too.

In my case, it was a case of savegame corruption. Fixed the bug that caused corruption, and it never happened again.

But I couldn't get rid of the original offender. There's some variable in the config file that has to be changed, but since it's such a humongus file and since I don't remember exactly what variable it is, I never got around to it.

If it happens with the latest SVN (linux), then it might be something else.

SVN from yesterday, checkout, built, started a new, clean game.
Flow a bit.
Accepted the Jenek mission.
Saved after completing it.
Reload savegame: BAM it's back.

So the bug is not fixed at all.

To me, it alwasy happened with random missions.

It may be that the campaign (Janek's mission) has bugs of its own that manifest similarly.

If you'd be so kind as to create an item in the bug tracker with your savegame attached so we can diagnose?

SF has been through a lot of changes, I've noticed things breaking and getting fixed quite frequently these last few days.

Anyway, I just found the bug today, and committed a fix :D

Yay... I manaed to track the bug to a very old revision, so this is a long standing bug finally fixed. It feels... :cry: so great... those are tears of joy...
