IA problem

Post by Zoloom »

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 :)

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 XD). 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!

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)
