Bugs & Crash Reports

[Dioxine]

This... problem... will be adressed too, by expanding the early game

[new_civilian]

I updated the TU-fix file in this post: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?action=post;msg=64381;topic=4058.510
Missed the Grassland terrain... 

fixed.

Dioxine: Do you want to use the fix for the next version or shall I upload it here in the forum as a mod?

[Dioxine]

Is it properly tested on all conerning terrains? If so, I will add it.

[new_civilian]

I ran a quick test in the Battle Generator on the corresponding terrains and also fixed the Grassland terrain AFTER I discovered that I had missed that one. They work fine on my computer. Not sure if that's enough, though, another helper/tester would of course be fine. I will run another series of tests in the next minutes and report my results.

Just a thought: Is it better to patch those files through the RUL file^ or should the MCD files themselves be fixed?

edit:  I ran another series of BattleGenerator quick tests on ALL terrains and the fix works fine.




fwiw: During the test I realized how nice the Airbus graphics and layout are and you even made sure that there are the correct number of seats (4+2).

It's mostly Robin's doing, I only put his LEGOs together I intend to use some more of his tilesets, they're really sweet.

Also: not sure which is better to patch. If everything's a-ok then the MCDs themselves I guess.

The game insists on occasionally using pink sand for desert missions on Earth. I think it's part of Cydonia tile set? It would be fine but I am getting choke tests at the end of every turn.
Is this intentional?

[Dioxine]

It's not Cydonia tileset, and these traps didn't got there by accident

Alright, I will fix the MCD's as well and upload them here later!

Here the fixed files. Double and triple checked them during the editing.

Probably not a bug but when breaking down ammo from magazines the magazine size and number produced are swapped from how it is presented for guns.  For example, Gauss Cannon ammo shows up as 4X25 (4 packs of 25 rounds) but for other projectiles it is the other way around being (Magazine Size)X(Number Produced).

So I just got to the "Mysterious Siberian base" mission (I think) but every time I try to start the mission, I ctd.

I don't think I have done anything weird, and I was using 0.98G or C. I can't tell what that letter is. That's not the latest version, is it?

.....

Okay, looked around, saw that the latest version was 0.98E, got that, imported my saves, and crash again.

Throwing my save on here as an attachment.

OMG, the broken provost pedia entry is UGLY as heck.... please replace with something else, pretty please.

Btw. reminds me of this:

I also get a CTD when trying to start the Siberian base mission. I can get into the inventory screen right before the mission and then it crashes.

I found several causes for the CTD bug.
Siberiabase28 and Siberiabase29 maps (and rmp) are missing. Only found the bug because I tinkered with the script to get it working....
Even adding the missing maps (I used the ones from the current UFO redux) doesn't remove the CTD, the script itself seems to be the problem. 
I also disabled the mapblocks in the rul-file, still CTDs 
I edited the script so mapblock 28 is no longer called for, still CTDs. 

Dioxine, please help, this is a game-breaker!

@Golnor: This is not Siberia at all, just broken Mansion from the version when Mansion was broken. Upgrade version & ignore that mission.

@New Civilian: This is some issue with craft spawning. Happens to me as well, albeit rarely.
