I thought the problem wasn't appearing in stock until I remembered that I had left the stock batch file at 1024x768. When I changed it to 1440x900, it evidenced the exact same behaviour. There is a bug in the script itself for that resolution.

I don't know Perl and I don't have a runtime installed on my computer, so it's a bit hard for me to debug. Nevertheless, I have a powerful suspicion that the script is going awry in the MouseMoveAbsPix subroutine. It enters an until() loop on line 811, and I think the condition never evaluates true.

But why it's happening, why I've only seen it triggered with this one command, I have no idea. It's possible that it occurs with other commands as well. I probably haven't used every single command defined. Another command with the same co-ordinates ("Aim For Weapons", ID=543) works fine.

It's very strange that it happens only for that one command. I don't recall there being anything special about damage control.

Taking a quick look, I see it has an ID of 55 in the Stock CSV set. I also see some trigger maru specific code that does a general text inspection at the CSV set name to determine if it has "trigger maru" in it, and if it does, it treats 55 special during the tube specific code, which is weird because in my set, trigger maru damage management is still 55, in other words, 55 wasn't repurposed to tubes or anything in tm. So there could be a problem there.

One fix might be to make sure your CSV set name as referenced in the launch bat file doesn't say "trigger maru" which would cause it to be treated as stock (of course if you're used to running in TM mode, that might cause a bit of a shock.) Another option might be to change all instances of ID 55 to some other obscure number as mentioned above. Whenever you suspect something weird about the ID, change it, and be sure to change it in every CSV it might be referenced in, in both the ID column and the PARENT column.

Generally speaking most testing was done in stock, and TM was kind of tacked on and was never really fully vetted as well as it could have been.

Hope that's clear enough and leads you to a solution... sorry I can't even test this as I don't have a working microphone at the moment. I do on my laptop, if I have time I will try tomorrow!
