40k Bug/crashes/problem´s report

[Lord Flasheart]

Hi Bulletdesigner,

I found you a crash. I think it is the same as before, but this time I have every information, saved game, screenshot, log, and I can recreate the crash.

-Terror mission (in Tehran)
-Pipe map

To recreate the crash:
-Select the Marine with the name "Gelasimus Lucius". (see crash capture1.png)
-Select Snap shot.
-and target the left-hinter square of the Chaos Dreadnought to the Southwest where my cursor points. (see crash capture2.png)
-The second shot to the same square will trigger the crash.

It's a similar kind of crash, it's an out-of-bounds destroyed tile, thanks for reporting it.

@bulletdesigner: it's in CONST.MCD, entry 13 (the forklift) points at 51 for the Die_MCD when it should point at 14.  I've attached a fixed version of the terrain.

@Lord Flasheart: try copying the files from the attached .zip into the TERRAIN folder of your copy of the 40k mod, or turn on save scumming in advanced options to reset the RNG so that it doesn't destroy the bugged tile.

I just encountered a stuck HWP bug. I was putting sentinel in the droppods and the sentinel was placed into the third drop pod and got stuck. Also are we supposed to put sentinels in the droppods?

[ohartenstein23]

Not a bug - you just put the sentinel in the wrong order in the craft.  Put any 2x2 units to the top of the crew list before launching the craft to have them spawn in the correct order.

Ah thanks I did not know that.

So I've been trying to install 40k, and I have encountered the same issue twice

I installed it as instructed (extracted the mod folder in the User directory, ran OXCE with the usual game files in place), and enabled the mod. When it restarted, I didn't even get to the title screen before it hit me with:

Error linking 'STR_CENT_ARMORR' in research: Unknown research 'STR_UFO_NAVIGATION   '

I tried the nightly, and it worked (but missing certain features as expected). I've deleted the User directory and installed OCXE again, but the same error shows up. My ISP is really bad (a few days ago I had download speeds around 10 KBps), so I might have just downloaded it incorrectly. But WinRAR didn't detect a file corruption so I don't think it's that.

From what limited gameplay I saw, the mod looks beautiful.

[ohartenstein23]

Which version of the mod did you download?  You need the latest (010) in order for it to work with the latest OXCE as it causes the game to quit with that error message when the research ruleset is missing something.

Wow, I feel pretty dumb now. Thanks for the quick response.

I forgot to save the game, but i think i encountered a bug in a hulk mission. In the second stage of the mission some of my units started with less than the maximum of time units. It seemed to me they had the amount of TU's left with which they ended the previous stage. I'll add a save to this once i encounter it again. I use OpenXcom Extended 5.1 (2018-10-14).

Yes, it's a known issue.
You can download fixed OXCE version here: https://lxnt.wtf/oxem/builds//Extended/Extended-5.1-5f27e4bff-2018-10-25-win32.7z

I found a strange and fun bug...  Not sure, it's about 40k mod, but... i have a FEMALE SPACEMARINE! Here's a screenshot. And save file also.

Hi Bulletdesigner,

I got an error message when i used the drop-pods to deploy, i got this error when i clicked end turn, it states
'OpenXcom has crashed: Segmentation fault. This usually indicates something missing in a mod.',
this may been due to me installing incorrectly, if so could you lend me some help.

Thanks p.s great mod

see attached screenshot: Droppods
 

[bulletdesigner]

send me the save game i will try to recreate the bug

the only tricky part on installation is always using latest OCXE+ Installed
