Bugs, crashes, typos & bad taste

[Solarius Scorch]

Every time I load my save at the end of the month a supposed MIB mission pops up, however it crashes my game stating...
"Error processing mission named: recon, mission type: STR_MIB_TERROR is not defined."

Yeah, this mission was removed from spawning ages ago. Then I kept it in the ruleset for those ages, knowing that some people will have some ancient saves... And finally removed it in 0.6, thinking there is no way people still have saves that old.

...I stand corrected.

Just open alienMissions, copy any other mission and rename it to STR_MIB_TERROR.

[The Think Tank]

I may be one of the initial players, who also has just been replacing the file with the new variant. In either case thanks!

Out of curiosity, why was the MIB Recon removed? It seems interesting to say the least.

[The Think Tank]

Errr...a little of an update...

There is no "STR_MIB_TERROR" in that folder

It may be because that is my properly copied form of XComFiles, while I also have the version which I use that is spread across the entire OpenXcom directory.

[Solarius Scorch]

This mission was removed because it made no sense, will be replaced with something better.

And no, there is no such mission, which is exactly the problem.

With D.E.B. problem solved, I wanted to continue the second M.A.G.M.A. mission from my previous v. 0.5.5c save. Played till turn 18, then started to run out of ammo and deceided to load another save before this mission. Got many nice things to research out of tin air (I love updates!), but then got CTD:

[11-03-2017_18-02-29]   [FATAL]   A fatal error has occurred: Region REGION_MAGMA_LAB not found
[11-03-2017_18-02-50]   [FATAL]   OpenXcom has crashed: Region REGION_MAGMA_LAB not found

Well, I guess loading old save wasn't so good idea. Anyway, I found something else in the same log file:

UPD.: Alright, saved before crash. Save file attached:

[mumble]

Had a fatal crash in a strange life form mission, with beetles, at night in the forest.

I heard an incendiary sound, like a flamethrower being fired right as it crashed.

Also attached battlescape save on the map, just because. I was a few turns in, but what the heck.

The missing region is an actual bug. Thanks for the report, attaching a hotfix.
The rest of these strings are just artefacts from version changes, don't mind them.

Had a fatal crash in a strange life form mission, with beetles, at night in the forest.

Spoiler:

OK, I'll examine it.

EDIT: It crashed for me too after a few turns. Then I tried debug mode, but nothing weird happened...

Please help, as I have nothing else to do.

You had renamed scarab race into giant beetle race, did you? And old savegames now has a bug.

Also, STR_ALERT_CAVES still missing.

[Dr.Crowley]

Hohoho, fixing new bugs immediatly after the release becoming a good tradition for X-Com Files

[Solarius Scorch]

You had renamed scarab race into giant beetle race, did you? And old savegames now has a bug.

Yes, as it was conflicting with a ship also named Scarab.
But it's not a bug, you can continue the game normally; you only lose all beetles you had (and the research).

Also, STR_ALERT_CAVES still missing.

Right, fixing.

Hohoho, fixing new bugs immediatly after the release becoming a good tradition for X-Com Files

The funny/sad thing is, most of them are old bugs

[Kammerer]

The funny/sad thing is, most of them are old bugs

Let's continue the tradition and fix some more of them .

conduct intelligence-relate research

nerve chord stretch from them trough most of the body length

The evidence you have presented was judged to be balid

to round them up and withheld black Lotus operations

Those strings are missing:

STR_SYNDICATE_WALKER_UFOPEDIA

STR_AVAILABLE_TOPICS

STR_SYNDICATE_HQ_ACCESS_UFOPEDIA - I think, it should be one of two lines STR_SYNDICATE_HQ_UFOPEDIA.

[Solarius Scorch]

THanks, all fixed.

("Withheld" seems to be a balid word though. )

[mumble]

Very bottom text of xenonaughts file is not readable. The actual meat of the text is there, but last bit is cut off.

[Nord]

STR_ASSIGN_PILOT missing (on the screen "no pilots assigned")

And, what is more important, MAGMA LAB region missed, while used in missionscripts.

[Solarius Scorch]

Yes, I know about the missing region, I have attached a fix several posts above.

I'll add the missing strings, thanks.
