Bugs & Crash Reports

I did a mission against a landed reticulan ship. The last enemy remaining was a mechtoid. He came out and shot down three of my girls, failing the mission for me. In the post-battle screen it said the mechtoid surrendered and indeed, I got a mechtoid as loot, and nothing else.

Where else was he supposed to go, all alone?

What a freakish coincidence I even like that; the Mechtoid decided that the best way to end this sad episode is to head to pirate base and surrender himself

Might also be a nasty bug... I didn't test what happens when you lose the mission... it might actually be that all standing enemies capable of surrendering will surrender even if they won.
I'll test/fix it today.

EDIT: unfortunately, it's a critical bug... if you lose the mission (abort doesn't count), remaining enemies count as surrendered... will provide a fix today

Hello world, this is my first post on the OpenXcom forums. Props to all of you guys active in developing, supporting, and contributing to this amazing mod. But to cut to the chase, my game crashes immediately before the funding screen at the end of the first month. The error message indicates it has something to do with the new underwater treasure missions. 

Attached is a screencap of the crash and a save file shortly beforehand. Forgive me if I am not reporting bugs the right way.

I'm getting a crash upon researching bullpup carbine through the gun almanach - if I try to scroll to the next topic when the item research screen comes up I get a crash to desktop. Closing the research screen avoids this problem.

Do you have a save for this?

It doesn't crash for me, but the "next" button shows the first topic (AIRBUS), since the current article index is reset to zero (which is caused by nonexistence of the pedia article for the gun almanach itself, which the game tries to display as well). Still... it should not crash.

PS: Can you please try if the attached save crashes for you?

I'll try the attached save tonight. I also have a save for testing that I can attach tonight too.

Shit Murphy's Law. I made a typo which results in a fatal crash. Repaired file attached to downloads section.

Noticed two entries with reference to strings, instead of a research name

So the game crashes when I complete my first giant spider hunt. Attached is a save before the last spider is killed.

It's an artefact from version upgrade, not a bug.

Fooog, another typo. That's what I get for not coding at home.

In piratez_factions.rul:
Is:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_GIANSPIDER_TERRORIST
    size: 0.0
    recover: true
    liveAlien: true
    costSell: 2500

should be:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_GIANTSPIDER_TERRORIST
    size: 0.0
    recover: true
    liveAlien: true
    costSell: 2500

I'm guessing nothing bad will happen if I research it then?

[Dioxine]

No since normally you'd get them automatically.

The attached save crashes for me when gun almanach research finishes, I click view report, and then I click the arrow to move to the previous topic (rather than the next topic, I misremembered the crash). It doesn't matter what gun is actually researched by the topic, they all seem to crash the same for me. Attached is the save where I originally experienced the bug, but your save does the same thing for me.

Reporting a non-critical research bug. Bad Touch Bootypeadia page doesn't show because of a typo.

It's:

Code: [Select]

  - id: AUX_BAD_TOUCH
    type_id: 4
    section: STR_WEAPONS_AND_EQUIPMENT
    text: AUX_BAD_TOUCH_UFOPEDIA
    requires:
      - STR_AUX_BAD_TOUCH
While it should be

Code: [Select]

    requires:
      - AUX_BAD_TOUCH
