Bugs & Crash Reports

[Meridian]

Fail gracefully, is all I wish.

I'll have a look if an autosave just before a mission can be added easily; and if yes add it.

[Dioxine]

This bug is already fixed for the next release, no need to beat dead horse. Maps to small to always fit new 2x2 craft (which is a size I wasn't using before) were enlarged.

Thanks guys for the mapgen crash bug discussion.

I'll highlight the embedded cyberdiscs in the escort:

Most likely the RMP nodes has to be fixed.

Also, sometimes ufos with double-doors are placed with doors facing the edge of the map, thus HWPs can't exit the craft even if they can reach the doors in the first place. Like the escort in the second screenshot.

Had my first bug playing about 20 hours so far.

When raiding an enemy hideout, my equipment got spawned on a red tile.  Thusly, when I escaped after kidnapping, stealing, and otherwise causing mayhem to teach those foolish governments why they pay me and not them, all of my brought along equipment and supplies for the siege were "lost".

I didn't notice or maybe I saw and just wasn't paying attention.  I knew about this rule already and it just didn't click until after I spent somewhere over an hour+ fighting went to leave and noticed ALL of the crap in the resupply menu.  Probably about 2 million worth of equipment. wew.



Savegame attached.  (just before leaving the enemy hideout)  If you need an earlier one for any reason I can provide.

Not wanting to get downed in current playthrough from loss of all that gear, is there a simply cheat utility so I can reimburse myself?

Yes, just change funds in the save-file.

[Ethereal_Medic]

A rather drastic approach would be enabling debug-mode in your save-file.

While in battle, press ctrl + d to enable debug.
now you can use one gal to 'move' every piece of equipment to a green tile.
Remember that enabling debug will drop morale/reapply damage form fatal wounds every time you open the inventory screen.
Opening the inventory screen also refreshes TU, Stamina and Stun-damage.

Sadly this will reveal the whole map and all enemies alive and even allows to control the A.I.'s movements and inventory.
If you only want to retreat without losing your gear, stick with moving the gear aside since using debug is legit cheating.

Ctrl + k will kill every enemy btw.

or edit the item coordinates in the save file like this:

There I was, thinking I was old enough to install the newest version all by myself, but no:

A file from the original game data files is missing. Check that you have them where they belong.

Nope, should run without UFOINT.FLI - tried it, just to be save, but then it just crashes after playing the intro!^^

Zip it all up and post then. Without the original files ofc.

Actually, there seems to be a problem with the options.cfg - the one generated automatically (if there is none), doesn't work!

And when I use an old one, it looks like this:

[Stoddard]

Interesting. Can you please zip up the whole installation without hte vanilla files and post it here? Both options.cfg files would be appreciated too.
