army speed bug

Volli82 · 08-24-2005, 02:02 PM

few minutes ago i moved my army "donttouchmoscow" to helsinki, thought that would take ~30 minutes but it was there at once, i wondered so i moved it back to my home base, again it takes 0 minutes, i moved it to moscow and again it was there at once

Thanks for pointing out this bug, it must be evading the timed movements somehow

..maybe Mick forgot to put moscow in the list

I think this is fixed now. Give it a shot and let me know.

Volli82 · 08-24-2005, 02:17 PM

lol:

"the army is scheduled to arrive at it´s destination in approximately -3-3 minutes"

i think i can travel back in time if the distance is big enough

druidiine · 08-24-2005, 04:41 PM

u better stay of finland!!! or ill come and take moscow... and what good would it be to any of us?? we need to live like neighbours, peacefully, it was my mistake that i attacket moscow at first, but now lets just forget about it ok??

Was this move initiated after I fixed that bug? If it was started before the bug was fixed, we can just let it run it's course (if it ever gets there). If it was started after the bug was "fixed", then I'll see what else I can find.

druidiine · 08-24-2005, 05:42 PM

it has been 2 hours now, im still waiting for it to arrive, but it just stays outside...

Mickey · 08-24-2005, 05:49 PM

Let me know what the name of the army is and I'll fix it in the database.

Again - was the move initiated before or after I fixed the bug above?

druidiine · 08-24-2005, 05:57 PM

u misunderestood me, im waiting for Volli82's army to arrive to my town, but it just does not move closer, maybe its goz he has logged out or smthng, but im just worried and waiting for him to attack me, but nothing happens...
my armies are all fine...

I'm having a problem when I try to go to someone's base. Instead of the difference in Lat, long, to travel, I get the value of the lat long I am at. Their base seems to at 0,0 even though I am very, very close to it at times.
The result is that instead of 5 minutes, I am told I'll be travelling for 625 minutes.
One (hypothetical of course) example would be Aodhan's base.

I can't seem to duplicate this error, nor can I find a bug in the code.

If you would, please find an army that is reporting properly (it says it's in a city, and it really is there), and from there do whatever steps necessary to generate this bug. This will help me to better track it down.

Thanks,
Mickey

armyid=2115 (elk-tamer97077)

I'm going from Salt Lake City to Aodhan's Base:
It should be a short trip but I get:

Latitude to travel: 40.760829661655
Longitude to travel: 111.89025212151
Distance to travel: 119.08347389341
Actual distance: 118.03347389341
Approx travel time: 595 minutes

The Latitude and Longitude to travel is the current location of my army instead of the distance they need to go.

Great information! Using that, I think I found the bug.

It was trying to send you to a point near 0,0 (not quite, but close). That made the distance appear to be about the same as your present coordinates.

I found the bug, then manually put your army back in your home base so it wouldn't be wandering all over the globe. If you try it again, it should work correctly.

One more bug down, about a zillion to go...

elk-tamer · 08-24-2005, 09:35 PM

Thanks! Now instead of attacking you in Denver I can go after his base.
