Bugs/ Bug Fixes

Post any bugs or bug fixes here!

last version I tried V1.8:

I couldn't build stations in ever system
the ones I did build, I couldn't buy anything from them.

can't buy big ships

can't delete construction plans

more bugs to come soon

i cant build anything in any system
and when you try to order your ships around it goes to power distibution

Cant get Fleets to work well and its to easy to destroy some planets.

Prices for ships in stations you own are actually the same as every where else.

On the map, there are some nebulas in the north-west which you can't get to.

Can't delete station plans.
Built Klingon starbases don't shoot.
Defence platforms are waay too powerful.

man we are pesimistic we only see the problims not the solutions.

But when it is fixed we can step back and look at it in its full glory

It ant gona be fixed somethin tells me.

Yeah. But we might as well tell someone

Good idea... it sucks right now so i think that som1 should fix it

Here is a way to get stations to sell stuff. Buy a government flag, and colonize planets you control in their name. Stations will build randomly and automatically. This is only the first part though, after you do that, check around to see if the planets start building stuff, if they don't, or if they are done building, destroy the planet and start over again.

I've built about a dozen stations this way. It isn't the most glamorous or time-effective way to get stations to sell stuff to you, but it works.

BTW I love the the 1.8 version you guys have made!

what's the 1.8 version? oh! beta test, with the game editor?

That's the one!


On another note, I found that the build bug also keeps the AI from building too. However, when I try to build something and the build bug kicks in, I find it in the ship section of the sell menu. I'm no flash expert, and I know you guys aren't the ones that are trying (or saying that they are trying) to fix BM2... but I'm just thinking that this could help if you do decide to fix bm2.

The editor won't work! Whenever I finish, there is no governments. Just a blank space.

That' not new, everyone knows that.

I remember that name zaeratul, are you in sc2 forum?
and does it work even if there is a no-build bug?
COOL!

that is interesting. i'll try and look into that sometime in my future

Dyson sphere missing! Its marked on minimap but it isn´t here

When I start to build something and leave the construction site vanishes

I have AT over 2000 and I still cant sent ambassadors. is that bug?

1 dyson sphere isnt meant to be there
2 thats the build bug which is very very old and is unsolveable
3 i never got the ambassadors working properly
4 dont double or even triple post it just not good use the edit button it just better

Ok then something that isn´t there: When I fly to the wormhole generator it pirates heaven, I find some strange planet without name, governor, prestige... without anything. It´s not even on map

planet of the dead its a glitch in the game when you got through a wormhole gen without a destination thats where it takes you

Will the build bug be fixed in new ver?

simple answer no it is unfixable

you can do multiple posts, i don't care, i think my record is five posts in a row, i hate the edit function

oh, and the build bug is most likely fixeable, it's just no one's actually really devoted time into fixing it, at least not people with the right skill requirements

Well in BM1 when I builded cca 10 things at the same moment, ussually at least 3 of them vere really constructed. So maybe it builds only on some special circumstances? I don´t know but I hope this was helpfull.

Everyone knows about that actually. It's a build bug that is common through the Broken Mirror game. (BM1)

You know, i saw a comment about the BM games on the escapist. A guy said it could have been the best flash game of the decade if it wasnt for it's half finished status and all the bugs. I think an improved version could become really succesful. Maybe we should get the BM2 project running again.

well ia m trying again with bm2 like i said ive already fixed the editor so it runs smoothly

finally!? good!

ill find you a link :

Thanks, but i saw a problem:

When I construct a station, it disappear when I leave the system.
When I send Ambassadors, they don't change my relation with the system.

Sorry if there are mistake, but I m french and I don't speek english very good

they havent been done yet

If you customize the game, the governments never appear when you click on a planet

A bug: When you fire pulse weapons, they turn in an arc of 10-20 degrees. Sucks when you are hitting a planet most of the weapons fire miss.

Yes Bm2 is a very hard game make right. Unlike Bm1, it has several new things that make it hard to fix:

Game Editor: It's like a peice of string the tangles everyhting together. It's ties into the game. It makes it hard to seperate and fine the bug. Also, the Game Editor itself has lots of bugs.

Interface: The new interface is far more advanced than bm1. Movable Maps, Shootable Planets, Saucer Seperation. It's probalbly trivial but I dunno, maybe it has an effect.

no race when i hail planet unless i load

And what is that supposed to mean?

ok im not trying to be captain obvious here, mabye the bugs been fixed now but the versions ive seen online you can go into a system fire at the planet continiously without a single defense in that system registering it as a hostile action. you can go through the whole game if your are friendly in every system with the weakest ship in game and take down every faction without ever fighting a ship.

Xonok dissappears from map after dropping its strenght to 0

EPIC NECRO IS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why yes it has Lee, and looks like it isn't the first time it has been. Best to lock it, stop it from ever happening again.

and Xyxzz: this site doesn't deal much with the development of BM games at this time, BMII is basically finished now.
