Satchel charge spontaneous explodes

[SamualACarver]

Few weeks ago I had a satchel charge explode for no reason. I was dropping the sats and about a half a second after dropping the last one they just exploded. For no reason. I know from Fear that sats arent supposed to explode like that. Ive never seen it happen before. It has actually made me a little paranoid about dropping sats. I was wondering what happened. If I remember correctly you guys a Magma since you have the source code you can follow the program when it is running? Could you maybe find out and tell me what happened? I have the film where can I upload it?

Thanks
Sam

You should be able to attach the film to the board here in a reply.

It is likely the old bug that got fixed already for the upcoming 1.8.0 update. There is a very small chance that any projectile detonates even if they should not be able to.

A change from 1.8.0:

Fixed several off-by-one errors on random probability checks that could cause projectiles to detonate with probability 1/65536 instead of probability 0. This could lead to game breaking bugs if certain things detonated, for example netgame balls.

I never knew we could upload files here. It is a plugin map "The Legend of Gor-Ash" I'm not sure what plugin it is. Maybe a Zac pack. Its a map from a Plugin we were playing in the FFA League. Its a fairly common one I think. On this game I am the white team. The Dwarf starts dropping sats at 6:20 it is a 7 min game so about 40 secs into the game. Sounds like it is probably an "off-by-one error" you mentioned Pyro. I'm curious to know what happened.

Edit
Maybe I am doing something wrong but I cant upload the film. I am clicking on the "Upload attachment" tab Then I click "Browse" select the film. It shows up in the "Filename" box. I clicked "Add the file" and nothing happens. Once I have done that even when I click the "Submit" button nothing happens. I had to exit and then re-open this post and not try to upload the film to add this edit. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks Pyro Zipping it worked.

Try ZIPing the file first. If it still doesn't work, maybe its an issue with the browser you are using.

That worked Pyro. I added it to my previous post.

I looked into it. It is a Creation map. "Legend of Gor-Ash"

Yeah, Pyro is correct, this is another example of the off-by-one detonation probability bug, which has been fixed in 1.8.0
