I just picked up a range check error in the Atull System.

Okay, this is our top priority now. Combat Wombat has reported this as well, and it came up in a convo with SJ that it may be caused by a ship trying to use the wrong bitmap type (.e.g, torpedo trying to use a beam bitmap), I will look in to this, and release a new version with it hopefully fixed.

"I have spent some time looking through the code, and I believe I have found the problem. In Main_BitmapEffects.txt, Torpedo 13, had a speed of 1.2. While it is not documented, I believe that this value must be between 0 and 1, therefore, a value of 1.2 would result in a range check error."

I've used greater than speed 1 torpedos with no problem. The only issue is when you get to high speeds (>2), the torpedo has a tendancy to randomly explode.

Okay, well, there goes that idea.

[Captain Kwok]

Yeah, I picked up a couple of range check errors in different systems after making the change.

In some versions I also noticed that sometimes when I turned the ship to face an asteroid field the game would give Range Check Error. Especially in the infamous Geneva system.

I try looking into this.

On the sensors (int/ext) what is the diff as you go up in Lvls? I did not notice a diff in the discription between 1 and 2
