Starmade | Jump distance not consistent (with changed sector size)
Closed, FinishedPublic

Description

Jump distance not consistent; pilots landing sectors away from destination, despite jump distance being less than max.

Feel free to visit, staging's instance (port 8484) hostname/IP is the same as production (port 4242): stars.bitminery.com

Steps to reproduce
  1. start a fresh vanilla world
  2. use a jump capable ship to establish how far in sectors a ship can go in one jump (8 sectors using vanilla settings)
  3. change the server.cfg file to make sectors larger than 3500 meters or greater
  4. restart server so sector changes take effect
  5. repeat step 2 and take note of the sectors jumped

    the bugged behavior will result in the ship falling one sector shorter than the jump attempted in the vanilla sector size settings
Tester information (Internal use only)

Assumed factor for Influence:

  • changed sector size from default to 6000

Jump drive counts "crossed sector borders" for distance calculation.
So take into account that a diagonal jump takes more crossings than a straight jump along one axis in the universe.
Also please

  • build and charge jump drive
  • jump to a sector in range
  • note result (target sector, and arrived sector)
  • change sector size
  • do the exact same jump
  • note result (target sector, and arrived sector)
  • restart server
  • do the exact same jump
  • note result (target sector, and arrived sector)

and do not compare jump distance, but coordinates. Also watch the upper corner for a message stating if "target IS in range or not" and make sure the jump is in range.


Through testing multiple sector sizes ranging from 20k down to 500, the critical sector distance seems to be between 3500 and 3250 meters.

Values below 3250 sector size will result in normal jump length in sectors while values in excess of 3500 will result in jumps landing one sector short of their normal jump length. This occurs with jumps less than the max jump length in sectors as well, such as a jump targeted for 5 sectors away the ship will only jump 4 sectors.

-Confirmed-

Through testing multiple sector sizes ranging from 20k down to 500, the critical sector distance seems to be between 3500 and 3250 meters.

Values below 3250 sector size will result in normal jump length in sectors while values in excess of 3500 will result in jumps landing one sector short of their normal jump length. This occurs with jumps less than the max jump length in sectors as well, such as a jump targeted for 5 sectors away the ship will only jump 4 sectors.

With 8K sectors here, and 128 sector jump distance, we are no longer observing a shortened jump distance, for the past (at least) two updates.
