alpha 11?

[pokeii]

I'm a beginner and got trouble in mission alpha 11. I got the cannon and killed every enemy I found but didn't get "return to LZ" instruction. I pulled my guys back to LZ but that didn't end the mission. I tried cheat code "deity" to see if I missed something and I found nothing. Any ideas? Thank you.

This should have worked. Usually this mission requires destroying all enemy droids (but not necessarily structures).
Post a savegame? Which game version?

[pokeii]

i'm running the game on fedora and i believe it's from fedora's official repository. yum says "warzone2100.x86_64 3.1-0.9.rc2.fc17 @updates"
at the start screen of the game it says "Version SDL 3.1-rc2 (modified locally) Built Aug 27-2012"
oh i'm using high quality video downloaded directly from wz2100.net. otherwise i didn't modify anything. it's done by fedora people and i hope they didn't do anything funny.
i've also attached my save file.thank you.

Ok, i can only confirm the issue; you can monitor the investigation in #3710 and/or use the "let me win" cheat to proceed.

Do you accidentally have an earlier savegame, where you didn't recover the artifact yet? (also, does the problem appear repeatedly if you reload such game?)

[pokeii]

thanks noq. i'll try to load now.

Very embarassingly (or fortunately), I'm not able to reproduce the bug. I loaded a save file before the flight and the bug disappeared. Now it's time to defeat the New Paradigm.

The attached is the save file before boarding.Sorry, I was not in debug mode at the beginning.

another issue...

some of my units are at my lower right corner. it seems that my units build when i'm away goes there. is that normal?

I'm not able to reproduce the bug

It was suggested that it only happens when the enemy manages to pick up the artifact when their group leader dies but before your tanks reach it (but i'm sure this case used to work earlier too).

They should go to the factory's rally point.

Are you sure that those are new and not those returned from away mission?
I had similar issues some time ago but AFAIR these were fixed already.

[pokeii]

Not sure.

If I can beat the campaign and thus develop more love about this game I might test this.

Both issues happened to me in the last playthrough:
I had to finish A11 with a cheat code because I didn't care to repeat the mission again, (after making sure that absolutely nothing was left alive).
Units appeared in the bottom right corner of the enlarged base map, possibly because one of my factories did not have a rally point.
Here's how I would attempt to reproduce it:
1.create commander unit.
2.assign factory rally point to commander
2. go in away mission
3. build a few units

This is a minor bug really. Units can be recovered in any away mission.

It's not a minor thing and it's not always possible to recover them (they are sometimes easy prey for enemy or you can't use them when needed - especially in gamma missions).
Here is related bug report: #2398.
