JVC intercept-problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.vga-planets (More info?)

I can't get the intercept mission to work in JVC. I'm using the latest
version of it (0.9.1b), and tried with both javas 1.4.0 and 1.5.

When I select the intercept-mission and try to target an enemy ship
nothing happens. the mission doesn't change, and neither does the
waypoint. When targeting my own ship the mission works as it should.

Anyone got any ideas what's wrong? I'd suppose that this kind of bug
would have been encountered already.

Most likely you're playing with VPA- features off, and with an ally.

If this is the case you cannot intercept ships scanned by your ally.
You can try to turn off VPA-Features (game options, hostconfig list).

This setting is set if you get host config messages, so it may be reset next time you unpack a turn.

If this is not the case, please mail me in private with your game directory zipped, and instructions of how to repeat the problem. Then i will check what the problem is, and fix the code.
