Hardmode Expansion - Bugreports

[hellrazor]

Thank you for your great MOD and for addressing the issues.

Thanks you so much for reporting this. I am sorry for my late reply, I had to take care of my brainstroked girlfriend, this leaves me sometimes without proper response time...

Looking through the code (commits up to Sep30) I found the following issues:

The diagram implies that Advanced Medikits research requite Medikits, while this in not in the code.

I will to check thanks for letting me know.

Upgrading Walkertanks seams to be broken. Not only it costs 10% of what it should, it gives you free armor/mobility by starting off with a Sectopod rather then an Armored Sectopod and ending up with a Walkertank Plasma, paying nothing for the extra armor etc. .

I added requirement for a Armored Sectopod Corpse to do the upgrade i hope this suffices.

Gentlemen, where do I report terrain bugs?

If you're playing the Hardmode expansion, then here.

Ok. I have a save file with bugged terrain, where alien is stuck in inaccessible part of the map.

That also can happen on vanilla polarmaps with water. Nothing i can do about it.
Kill it from distance.
The map is randomly assembled.

A minor bug (not sure it`s even worth mentioning) with a trajectory when using small launcher. If I attempt to shoot small launcher with soldier standing on the hill south of the landing craft (Sheu Li), game prevents me from choosing all nine squares of UFO`s to lift platform (no viable trajectory). Rest of the spots seem ok. Force shooting also works.

This is totally normal, also in Vanilla you can't the floor targets of the alien elevators. No way to fix this.

And now more serious bug. During base defense, I managed to stun Cyberdisk. I thought that all the cybers are dead and sent team of three people with stun pistols and rods to capture live sectoids. At the start of the turn, right behind the door stood a cyberdisk. I remember that you cant stun tanks in vanilla. But though. Hey, what if. And three of my guys somehow managed to stunn it. Final strike, I believe was a stun pistol. And, at the end of the mission I`m getting a crush screen reffering to invalid live alien or something like that. I loaded a save before killing final alien. Tried to finish "body" of a disk with grenades, but it didn`t help. Still crush. Had to replay. Luckily, I saved right after I stunned him. Save file in the attachment. He is lying right by the main door of the hangar  that is connected to main lift.
I presume, this could happen even by using something like a stun bomb.

Please update to the github Version Hardmode Expansion 1.0 WIP, you can find it here: https://github.com/hellrazor4223/hardmode-expansion/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

The bug was already fixed in the WIP Version, i could end the mission in the savegame by killing the two remaining Cyberdiscs and the alive one was recovered as intended.

This might be a bug in the engine.
I've stumbled upon something similar:

Could be worth to debug it and see if there's a fix on the engine-side.

Thats way out of my league... also  it also happened in DOS Version of UFO Defense so i am ok with it.
DOS behaviour wins.
