From the admin page, you have the information bellow. But when you do that formula, the answer is not 3.47, it's 8.68. So, is the formula wrong or is the example wrong?

I'd like bounties to clear up after 48 hours.

Quote:
How quickly the Fed Only Bounty Collection counts down. Calculation is One Bounty / fed_bounty_delay / (60 / ticks) / 24 = days to clear fed only bounty IE: 1 / 0.0004 / (60 / 5) / 24 = 3.47 days to clear one fed only bounty.

Yeah, the example is wrong.

It should be...

((bounty count / fed_bounty_delay) * ticks) / 60 / 60 = days to clear

((1 / 0.0004) * 5) / 60 / 60 = 3.47 days


You should set the fed_bounty_delay to 0.0007 if you want the fed only flag to clear in 48 hours on a single bounty.

Okay, and when the bounty expires, the player no longer has to pay the bounty?

Nope, what that means it is not Fed Only anymore, means users can collect it. And when the player loses his ship it will go away.

There is nothing in the game that will remove a bounty after a set period of time.

Does selling your ship count?

Nope, the only way to remove a fed bounty after the fed only period expires it to die with someone killing you or you paying it off.

I know these questions may sound nit picky but there may be a bug in the Bounty code - or there may not be. So questions are being asked....

If a teammate kills your ship DURING A FED BOUNTY ONLY PERIOD does the bounty go away?

If a teammate kills your ship AFTER A FED BOUNTY ONLY PERIOD does the bounty go away? And if so is the teammate then rewarded the money of the bounty?

If another player kills your ship DURING A FED BOUNTY ONLY PERIOD does the bounty go away?

If another player kills your ship AFTER A FED BOUNTY ONLY PERIOD does the bounty go away? Of course! We know this one. :wink:

If another player kills your ship DURING or AFTER A FED BOUNTY ONLY PERIOD but AFTER you weakened it against sector defenses and within the same game tick will the bounty go away?

If your ship is destroyed by any of the conditions above and you STILL have a bounty on you but are now stuck in your little PIO will the FEDS attack it and/or destroy it?

Thank you PJ for answering.

That is great info!

Feel free to just cut and paste this into a future FAQ under bounty system.
