There is something REALLY off with the Ice Cream truck. Using stable r7462 and GameDir r2132, the truck is invisible. As in, he blocks tiles but cannot be seen or interacted with. If I hardcode him to be visible (bVisible = 2), then I can see him and enter him.

This bug is not present in the current unstable. Using the unstable exe on the stable GameDir also works, so the error must be somewhere in the stable exe itself.

A polish user (new) has reported an even weirder behaviour. In his savegames (http://przeklej.org/file/DteIog/odd.ice.cream.rar), the truck is a civilian. Which can be entered. And walk around. Leaving the abomination crashes the game.

Could it be that some parts of the 'drive vehicles around' feature have entered the stable code?

Maddog's background has the -tag. Characters with this tag will sometimes steal expensive items from the sector. As selling these would be way to annoying, they simply put them into their inventory.

You can simply set 0 in his background (#72), and he will stop doing this.

Nobody will give me any quests, or it's kind of rare. I have like 75 leadership with the squad leader trait, yet Skyrider won't let me escort him anywhere. Angel won't tell me about his sister even though I bought the jacket from him. Hans won't tell me about the lesbo not leaving his store. I can still give her porn and get in the back room. Carmen won't give me the bounty hunting quest.

Hello,

I have a rather weird bug.
Game does not read STARTING_CASH_NOVICE, STARTING_CASH_EXPERIENCED, STARTING_CASH_EXPERT STARTING_CASH_INSANE from Ja2_Options, it takes all other options (tested with arrival time and A.I.M availability) but not starting cash :/.

Im running r.7476 with wildfire 6.07 maps.
To check that my game does not read Ja2_Options from other folders than the folder that ive instaled r.7476 i have changed starting cash in EVERY SINGLE Ja2_Options file that i colud find on my hard drive and it still uses defalut values(in game).

For test porpuses Ive set STARTING_CASH_NOVICE to an unacceptable value, this is the result:

It sais that game will use 2000 but guess what it STILL uses defalut value of 45000 that i cannot change :/.

Other than that game runs great.

First off, this is a bug with an unstable relase, not the '14 stable, so this post and all following posts should be moved to the right place. This issue does NOT happen in the '14 stable release.

Now, to the issue at hand. You, dear sir, are right to be confused. Very recently, a separate method to define game difficulty was added. Some values that were in JA2_Options.ini were moved to TableData/Data-1.13/DifficultySettings.xml. Here you can set those values, and add more difficulty levels (although doing so will crash your game, because apparently we don't test what we commit, so just don't). The starting cash bits in the ini are just relics - the game will read them, complain if you give bad ones, but never use them anyway.

Should you feel very confused by this right now, don't worry, you have every right to. This change was not publicly announced, so you have no chance of knowing unless you read our SVN logs daily :whythis: . Just edit the DifficultySettings.xml and wonder :dontknow2:

@hrvg: I am confused. What is the error? The texts you are referring to are translated in french in stable, so that can't be it.

When the enemy surrenders to you, bloodcats do not. That is intentional and not a bug. While this can lead to the cats mauling the helpless prisoners, not surrendering would lead to the player gunning down the enemies. A rare chance to be killed by a 'cat is still better than to be guaranteed to be shot.

I'm not at the code atm, but have you tried [Ctrl] + [t]?

There is also an option in the game preferences menu for realtime-sneaking, try activating that.

I can't force Turn-Based mode. According to the Hotkeys document "D Done / End turn in turn-based combat mode / Activate turn-based when in real-time mode"

This does nothing. I've also tried CTRL-X while sneaking and that doesn't do anything either.

Strange bug in stable 7435 (release 7521 from SVN):

The game crashes at 08:34 with the message
Group27(AI) attempting illegal move from D2 to C1 (GROUNDBARRIER)

The bug was found in russian release, but is reproducable with english release, too.
Tested with clean stock 1.13, without mods.

Anyone can help with this?

So you want to use real time sneaking and being able to go turn based at the moment you want to?
If that's your situation, you should have 'real time sneaking' activated (ctrl + shift + x to toggle on/off of you need)
Then, if you spot an enemy and want to go turn-based, press 'crtl + x'. Do you have an enemy in sight when you press that key combination? It may be required.
