Title: Pond mode doesn't turn on buoyancy?
Post by: Trafalgar on May 12, 2008, 09:25:53 PM

I've turned on pond mode (and set gravity on, since the bots weren't sinking or anything),

I set gravity on and changed the fluid to thick, since pond mode apparently didn't. It didn't change the toroidal/wrapping, or corpse settings either, but I stopped changing things once I saw buoyancy wasn't working.

Buoyancy is definitely either broken or off: I've got bots in the sim who are setting setboy to 2000 (every cycle), and rdboy is staying at 0.

From the console of one of those bots:

Got the same bug in mine, pissed me off.   I was hoping to use rdbuoy for sneaky conspec recognition(via memloc/memval), and sadly couldn't.

I'll try to tear myself away from the lake this week.  But the weather here in Seattle is so nice at the moment....
