Bugs in older version (2.3.1) / Re: Aimed Shot doesnt hit
« on: January 25, 2011, 01:25:08 pm »
I registered just to post in this thread. That's saying something because some genius, in setting up this forum, thought that someone would commit sixty teraflops of processing power on bruteforcing my usual password (which is seventeen characters long but contains no numbers) for some backwater forum and so I had to make some inane combination of letters and numbers.
ANYWAY.
This is a real problem. It's not "people being unlucky", it's a bug. It never hits. Snap shot is significantly more likely to hit than aimed shot in all situations. This game is excellent and I look forward to a bugless crispy-fresh ironed version in the future, however this particular issue isn't great as new players may not know to just always use snap shot instead of aimed shot. Could possibly be an easy fix too; compare the code for aimed shot to snap shot and see if there is an obvious issue.
EDIT: I want to clarify as I do not want to appear ungrateful for this brilliant open source game; I am willing to post logs, take screenshots, etc., however I don't see what I can post in a bug report to help with this problem. If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.
