Found a serious BUG in the demo

CW · #1 June 16th, 2001, 02:18 PM

Found a serious loophole in the 0.99 demo in the ship design screen. If you left click on a prototype design, then right click on another design that has already been built, then click the "edit" button the design of the ship class you right-clicked appears? What's more, you can make changes to that design and all existing ships of that class are automatically converted to the new design magically and instantly!! This is not a "feature" right?

CW, i just tried the exact thing u mentioned in a 1.30 game Version and it didnt work. I think they already got to that bug, which is a very good thing

Cool! I didn't know you can do that. I hope MM has fixed it in the full Version, but it still would be nice if they didn't

Dravis, you can't. That's exactly what Gimboid said.

Hey,

it would be really cool if you could do that in the full Version.

I think I'm gonna try it right away.

I'll let you know if it works.

I tried to right click and then I left clicked

...but nothing happened.

So I right clicked some more.

Still nothing happened.

I tried to click n drag with both mouse buttons simultaniously - I dunno why I got that idea. But it didn't work.

Has anyone else tried to right click?

What am I doing wrong?

Lucanos, yes someone else already tried. Gimboid did. He says so in the second post on this thread. And you're not doing anything wrong since that bug has been fixed a long time ago and can no longer be exploited. Which is a damn good thing if you ask me.

Jubala,

first I want to say that I'm really serious about this, because it means so much to me (it reminds me of some events that occured when I was a kid) - so please be serious when discussing this - okay?

First, when I right clicked - nothing happend.

Then, when I used the left mouse button to DRAG, it just didn't do it.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Like I said, you're not doing anything wrong since it can no longer be done. If you really want to try this out I suggest you download the demo and use it for this experiment instead of the full Version game.

I don't think you see my point, Recently Promoted Major Jubala.

I'm actually using the mouse to CLICK - okay?
