Lost information in OX upon loading original TFTD saves

[Nilex]

Hi all, new (old) guy here. Spotted these two not so small bugs:

• Live aliens researched via Aquatoid Medics disappear (Gillman in this example but could be widely common)
• Completed Artefact Sites sequence resets to one when new one is triggered (should be 6th in provided example)

Savegame showcasing both is attached. To verify 2nd forward time until 1:00 AM next day until Atrifact Site shows up (reload if you have to). In the original TFTD everything is normal. Save is made on CE version using TFTDextender with conservative settings.

Apologies is this isn't the right place to report this kind of stuff.

Hi Nilex,

thanks for the report.

I can confirm #2 and I also know how to fix it.
I still need to confirm #1, I'll let you know once I do.

Both will be fixed soon-ish.

In the same savegame, 1st base has 3 Aquatoid Medics available for research and 3 not yet researched live aliens (all 3 are 2x2 specimens). To quickly check (at least those 3) you could quickly research them in the original and transfer the save to OX to see if they appear or not. They shouldn't but who knows.

Just dawned on me that Medics unlock corpses as well as live ones, so the above may differ slightly but you get the picture. I read on UFOpaedia that researching Calcinite corpse via Medic does not unlock Vibro Blade research (actual corpse is required) so perhaps game stores Medic's stuff in another place OX doesn't look. Just a thought.

Thanks for a quick response, you are worthy of that avatar. Yippee Ki Yay, motha...

Great work, thank you. Tested and confirmed fixed on a later save.
