Don't know why it isn't showing up for you in the build menu.
As soon as I can replicate this, I most likely can fix it...I just can't replicate it.
Any more details on the game map, what T level, how far into the game are you?
Or do you never see the destruction icon in the build menu?

The map is SK-Ziggurat, one player skirmisch mode.
I could provide you my savegame, but can not find, where you guys are storing it now
In "My Documents" there is no "warzone" folder. o_O
Where the hell are the savegames and the screenshots now stored?
Now I started a new game and the icon apears.
But I would prefer to continue my old game, after hours of playing
I'm using a fresh installation of WZ 2.1 Beta 1, no config changes, all at default settings.
OK, I found all the stuff in hidden folder (Thx to FileMon
).
Here are the savegame-files:

and here a screenshot(klick on pic for big version):

downloaded and installed - also have that same problem - the deconstruction icon ( the crane with the wrecking ball), does not exist.
somewhere along the line - somebody lost it... send out the recovery teams. ;D

I can only think that the ones they made have corrupted data someplace. ???
If I start a new game (sp) or a new skirmish game or a MP game, and you click on the build icon, I always have the ole wrecking ball & crane.

Did you test my savegame?
Corrupt data? How should it happen?
I used new fresh Installation.
So, if there is any corruption, it comes within your installer.
This bug comes only sometimes in skirmisch mode.
Sometimes, the game also crashes, if you klick on button to start skirmisch game.
So, I don't think it's any data-corruption.
EDIT:
============
I tested it a little bit more now, so it happens for me only in skirmish mode.
The most time, if you changed the map and something in buildings-limit menu.
Sometimes the game crashes after this.
Here is the dump-file:

OK guys, now I can replicate this.
It happens, if you change something in the buildings-limits menu,
bevor starting skirmish mode.
For example, if you limit Cybog-factories to max. 2 buildings,
the destroy-icon will not apear anymore.
Hope this will help you to fix it.

Do we have a bug filed for this issue?
If yes: Could you add the info there?
If no: Could you created one?

I would like to post bug report, but I can not register.
If I try, I get ERROR: your IP is blacklisted ...
So somebody has to fix it first

Verified there is a issue with the building limits. It is causing stack corruption.
Thanks for the heads up, and the info to replicate.
Never bothered to use that before.
Without going to that screen, you still lose the destruction icon sometimes though?
The corruption I thought was going on would be the installer data was damaged. As in a error in packing. I am not sure if we do any checksums to check for that or not.

No, if it apears, it stay there.
But, if it apears, I'm not able to save the game.
Near each try ends with crash to desktop.

Thank you! This was exactly the info I needed to track down this bug. It has been fixed in our repository and will be in the next beta. I guess we will create another beta once we fix the font issue so many people are having.
Since it was a memory corruption bug, it is likely to cause a number of different and strange problems, and it is likely that the various problems noted in this thread are related to it.

Just with the Warzone 2100 folder in the My Documents folder....
In the next Beta (or even a patch) could you add the ability to choose where the 'warzone' folder gos? This way people like me can play WZ off a USB thumb drive, and still enjoy game saves and in-game music, without leaving folders on every computer we visit. This would be of particular use when playing in a computer Lab or on someone elses computer

MMM about the installing on a pendrive, shouldn't the system need registry files for the game? I mean, i think that you should at least install the game, even if you can place the files on a usb drive.
Also, i think you should have posted this in the "wish list" thread...

yea this should have been posted in the right place... but on a side note doom3r Warzone shouldn't really be using the system registry, after all Linux dosn't HAVE a sys. reg. and warzone works quite nicely on it so it should be jsut a case of moving the config files saved in the users home dir to the usb drive

NucNat, this is already possible using the "--configdir" Command Line option. You'll need to supply it every time though. (Don't forget to make the folder before you set the option though.)
