Warzone 2100 Forums

Hey guys,

First of all, thanks to resurrect this fabulous game.

I played to the campaign and i noticed a little trouble with the IA of Scavengers and New Paradigm.

So i attacked one enemy base and i saw that some enemy units doesn't attack me. I shoot on them, strange things.

When i attack the new paradigm (last mission of alpha site) they're is 9 tanks realy well armed and i attacked them. They doesn't attack me to ! I destroy them in 10-12 seconds, but i didn't received any damage while fighting with them. I tried in short range, no change.

This 'bug' appear sometime, but not all the time, mostly when i'm attacking.

Maybe it's not a bug, but i didn't remember that these units doesn't attack me like that 2-3 months ago...

Sorry if i bother for nothing.

Thanks

Sounds to me like a bug..

I played this evening and i confirm : a lot of enemy units doesn't attack my units or my buildings in the range.

Version : 2.1~bêta 4 (Linux i386 Ubuntu Hardy)

Can you point at one place where this always happens, so that I can reproduce it and fix it? Thanks.

Of course.

Here is it, on the last mission against the new paradigm (on a island, with the first apparition of the hovercraft, just before joining the beta site with the collective).

A bit big, but if i resize it maybe you will have some difficulties to find the place where the bug appear.

I'm using cheats here to show buggy units, but i play with no cheats of course

So these 8 tanks doesn't attack my units.

You have another case : i checked a zone on the north on the map, when i attacked this base, i found maybe 20-30 tanks blocked together, and with only 10 tanks i kill them all with minor damage (it's impossible that i can win with 9 tanks between 30 !).

So, good luck !

EDIT : I checked these units "diplomacy", they have normaly to attack enemies at range / defending their area / do it or die. So no problem with that.

EDIT 2 : Ok i'm sure thats a bug, see : http://sd-1.archive-host.com/membres/im ... ture-3.png (i can move safely between enemies units ). The bug doesn't concerned defense's buildings towers.

Can you zip up & upload the savegamename.* (.gam,.es .whatever), and the savegamename folder (with all files in it), so we can check it out? It is easier to debug when you have the savegame file.
They should be located in your ~/.warzone2100-2.1 hidden folder.

Thanks!

Here is it, i upload my saved games, because other files where present in another directory (the good save is Nexus).

Good luck

Thanks!
I will check them out as soon as I can get some free time.

If you need more informations about the bug, i'm here

Ok, found the issue.
It is fixed now*.

Thanks for the savegame files. Sure makes things easier.

(*pending GNA fixing their servers )

I'm really impressed.

Where was the bug ?

Thanks you very much!

It was the result of, we were checking the wrong options for when we should/shouldn't process the unit's orders.

Next 2.1 build (or trunk) has it fixed.
(or if you compile things yourself, you can have the fix now, or perhaps play one of the nightly builds that are available for windows people)
