Title: [Solved] Crafts can't return if starting base coordinates defined
Post by: Nikita1221 on November 03, 2024, 06:50:09 am

I tested it in 7.13, but since it wasn't mentioned in Bugs fixed, i figured it could still be the case.
I define starting base coordinates. I send craft to random point. I command craft to return. It flies to base, but seem to fail to land, even after fuel runs out.
Not sure if the exact coords matter, but i used lon: -1.79 and lat: -0.66.
Also, not sure if it's intended or not, but if you also define name:, it will only work if coordinates also defined, otherwise it asking to enter name.

Also, if you define name: for base, when spawning mission with targetBaseOdds:100 in mission script, game seems to think your base is in Antarctic, no matter where it actually is. If you also define coordinates, you'll get segmentation fault.

Of course coords matter, they need to be on Earth.

Longitude goes from 0 to 2*PI, latitude goes from -PI/2 to +PI/2.

Modding:
- Added support for a fixed location/name starting base (Important: fix either location or location+name... never fix only the name, game will not work correctly if you fix only the name!!)

Invalid coords.

Thanks,  making longitude positive did solve issue.
I was confused, because there's no mentioning of this in ruleset reference.

Longitude goes from 0 to 360 degrees (0 to 2*pi radians) and latitude goes from -90 to +90 degrees (-pi/2 to pi/2 radians).

More documentation here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitude
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latitude

If you really need that in the ruleset reference, feel free to add it there.
