weird energy income

[Vmcsnekke]

can someone explain me why Tnuoccacs has such a weird
energy income the last two games I played him ?
(see replay fault Vmcsnekke Setons game
dated 2013-02-26)

watch his energy storage/income (bar) closely,
the storage bar really makes some strange "jumps"

at some times, his energy income is > 10000 or so
(which explains the storage bar jumps), the question
is why ?

[ColonelSheppard]

pls post the ID of the replay or the replay itself and the time when it is happening rather than the date it was played

[Poch]

I didn't looked at it, but maybe its allies are giving him ressource directly with the give function, or just sometimes having full stock that can compensate him ?

I watched it and have no idea, at one point his energy flickers between +16k-22k and +6k but his storage doesn't spike, must just be a UI or replay bug

[Ze_PilOt]

Yes I've noticed that a while ago, when you have a big energy consumption (ie. by making a nuke) but no storage, the energy flicker like crazy in the UI while everything in normal is the sim (shield doesn't drop, mex produce mass,...)

[Vmcsnekke]

no, it must be an exploit he is using!

watch 805947

he has storages and reclaims the same way i do (like everyone
else), but still *huge* enery income now and then.

you can also see his huge income in the score screen.

it aint fair!

and btw. it is not a replay bug, otherwise it would be there
for all players.

[ColonelSheppard]

you are correct, something is defenitly wrong here

the red and the white player seem to have a constant income of ~50-120k energy i would say it is a replay bug or display bug somehow cause he would have to have more points if it was a real exploit

at min 10:38/39 he's using a total of 2500 energy
the red player is using 950 energy in total
while their team is producing under 3100 energy in total if i counted right (i counted with the res-use interface)
both do not lose energy in their storrage or reclaim anything at that moment

so yeah if i dont counted horrible wrong something is bugging here, the funny fact is this energy strangeness last for nearly 5minutes but on min 11:24 it's suddenly stops and everything returns to normal

Sorry to say this isn't the first time it's happened with Tnuoccacs.
NYQ and I saw him and Crotalus with this same "bug" in a 2v2 on High Noon, as well as several seton's replays, however they are from 3 weeks ago and useless now.
We thought it was a strange glitch, but if it is still happening...
This needs to be looked at.
Not to mention that in both cases it's just Crotalus and SC-Account and no one else.

[SC-Account]

It's an ui mod based on lazy share, but even more lazy. Conditional transfer of energy between 2 players. Unfortunately the ui calculations of share are very bugged.
If you give 20k energy to an ally who gives 20k energy back later both players will get + 20k produced (which of course is wrong). Score is based on energy used, which doesn't increase in any way.
There is however a bug with the stats shown after game applying to any resources given (mass or energy) which works in the same way (adding mass out of nowhere to both players stats, can get stupidly high).

You will also notice that this only happens in games including Crotalus AND me, so if your searching for answers for your latest defeats... I am sorry you won't find it there
