"general" bug? [message #97757]

So, I jump a limo I find while I'm walking around. OK, cool, kill a bunch of guys in blue shirts/purple pants.

Now, usually there's supposed to be a crepaton official around, no dice. So, I decide to fly one of my guys back to base to grab a knife, then come back and cut everyone's head off, just incase I shot the person and missed.

But, when he gets back, combat immediately starts. There's a bunch of purple panted-guys left, and this guy called "general". After I kill the purple pants guys, he turns hostile, so I kill him too.

Was there supposed to be a crepaton official here?

Is this normal?

Where in the hell am I gonna find that decoder now?

*** spoiler alert ***

You can always find an exec in L12 Rudesa. In three games I've never met one anywhere else.

I just re-took L12 Rudesa, nothing there but dead bodies, gear, and civi's.

Franz is there. Where did you find the exec?

Nobody in Rudesa sells any alcohol. Franz, Sam, and the pharmacist.

Unless that was directed at me, personally. Wink

There's a bar! In the huge building with the fight ring. You might just recognize the bartender...

If you still can't find it then maybe you should get one for yourself Smile

Other people have reported crepaton exec in top right Alma, and supposedly you might find one on a roads. Someone also reported finding a decoder just lying around somewhere, but in three games I didn't find one in the place they reported so it must be random. Try searching for decoder.

Blame JA2's hardcoding for this. Normally the execs' positioning would be random, on the roads. Unfortunately this was discovered the last day before release or something, and could not be handled so easily. (this is also the immediate quickfix about, as with a faulty prof.dat the game wouldn't start).

I am also to blame but what could I do... my stupid PC did start the game the first time I tested (there was a 50% or sth to start), so I wasn't aware.

No, only if you kill Claudia and only if you didn't fix either her or Tony with Proedit before you started the game. I think a recent patch may fix it too, but I'm not sure.

Search the forum for Claudia for more info.

I have never patched my copy of UC. I have killed Claudia at least 10 times, and I have yet to have Tony become hostile to me. It does not always happen as far as I can tell. I often kill her long before I even meet Tony, but as I said I have yet to get Tony to become hostile to me.

Claudia, in any case, is not a Crepaton exec proper in that she has neither a bounty on her head, nor carries the decoder you are after.

Not to say that she isn't fun to kill Smile

If Tony doesn't go hostile within a week or two then you'll be fine. Otherwise it will just be more challenging. You don't really need Tony for the money -- there's plenty around -- and the best things he sells, imho, are 5.56 ammo (try Smithy and Bobby Ray's) and 40mm grenades.

You can do UC without Tony...

Creapton exec's are supposed to be on roads, but see above for where I always find one.

I just like to keep my options open, he's great to have around early in the game. Of course, i'm nearing day 200, so it doesn't really matter.
