[EL 1.0128] impossible Z-coordinate obtained *FIXED 1.0138*

Post by tes »

hello,

i got a impossible z-coordinate from a npc yesterday with the value of 190400.
here is the relevant flightlog entry:

Code: Select all

[Data] (0/04:40:42) < X: 3440, Y: 740, Z: 190400 > (3500,0,-1800 Pearl)
the dimension of one sector cube reaches from -100,000 till +100,000 on each axis.
so a value of 190,400 would be outside.

It might be a wild goose chase, but try reducing the Z by a factor of 10x to 19,040. You might still find something. :)

Anytime. :)

I don't really think I gave a hint so much as the error may be a 'carry-over' from the scale adjustment(s) between Mercenary and Legacy.
Let us know if you find anything.

What was reported to you by your crew member is a valid container entity, but the location values are not accurate for the sector coordinates as they are a subset value range indicating something on the planet. So while the information presented isn't valid for sector coordinates, there is a container there somewhere on the local planet.
