Rapid Fire Microwave Laser, miscategorised.

Post by DaveAshton »

Spotted a quick-to-fix bug. Shopkeepers are putting the Rapid Fire Microwave Laser on the wrong shelf in their upgrade shops.

It's sold under the Weapons > Beam Arrays Medium category, but it's actually a Heavy Beam.

Can someone with SVN commit rights pop into the master_part_list.csv and change box 117 B from upgrades/Weapons/Beam_Arrays_Medium to upgrades/Weapons/Beam_Arrays_Heavy.

Why not go to the vegastrike tools project site and download the mpldemo, it does the editing for the master parts list then attach the file to your forum post ;) https://sourceforge.net/projects/ppuedi ... %20Editor/ grab both files and your good to go. Simple app to use too. But if thats too hard for your I can take care of it lol

I'd already edited it on my files by the time I posted that (and I didn't need a fancy custom-built tool to do it :P ).

CSV attached.

I looked in units.csv under several listings that used this weapon and all of them have size as medium.

According to the most recent SVN, Master_part_list still has the FS_MWRF_Laser as a medium weapon (despite the non-rapid fire version being heavy). Some ships even mount it as a light weapon (check the Goddard in units.csv, row 461, column z). However, the weapon_list XML has it as: <Beam name="FS_MWRF_Laser" mountsize="Heavy">.

So, in summary, some ships mount it on a light mount, some mount it on a medium mount, shop owners class it as a medium weapon, but according to the weapon's actual stats it's a heavy weapon. It's inconsistently sized across the board.

That makes this a very annoying weapon then... Wonder if the wiki has any of the weapon listings... Well, if the weapons xml has it as a heavy we may have a bigger problem than first thought.

Ok, here's the link for it. Laser (Fighter-scale, Microwave, Rapid-fire)

According to the wiki it has no stats.. I don't think a lot of stuff was ever fleshed out on the wiki. The last entry I checked at was for the Ktek Beam. It had a finished entry but the point defense version below it didn't.

Whats the point of a wiki if it has no information :(
