1.20 BUG get_satellite_coverage is computing coverage wrong

[qox]

There is one mission where the player has to cover an area with satellites.

This is to hard or impossible to beat.
I tried to do the mission with normal satellites and couldn't complete it.

Suggestion:
I would suggest to put the # of satellites (which are not close to each other) into a square-root function and multiply it with a constant to get the percentage of completion.
You guys might use an array of satellites which are not in a minimal radius (of all satellites alread in the list).

I was looking into the scripts and found the script which is computing the mission

It is in md

Code: Select all

mdscript name="RML_AchieveCoverage"

It calls into a function/method (get_satellite_coverage) in the binary with

Code: Select all

<get_satellite_coverage result="$CoverageCurrent" sector="$CoverageSector" radius="$CoverageRadius">

- which is good from an performance standpoint because native code is fast. It is not so good from the perspective of a modder. Sure we can compute the coverage manually to fix this bug but this is tedious.

Please fix the native code. You already have my suggestion(s).
