• that the target belongs to a civil faction which has <fCanBeCaptured> set to 1 in "CivGroupNames.xml" and is hostile towards the player

I do have edited xmls and WF maps, could this cause problems? Anyway, this is really curious. The freeze/crash seems to occur when the 'if' line cannot be executed. Now I did something like this:

For factions whose members can't be captured, do we need to set <fCanBeCaptured> to 0, or no need to define it at all in "CivGroupNames.xml" unless they are capture-able? Because in my mod "CivGroupNames.xml" <fCanBeCaptured> isn't set anywhere. Whilst in 1.13 variant, it looks like every faction with AddToBattle set to 1 has it.

- you can not compile a UB build in 7995, this can be fixed by adding #ifndef JA2UB to those parts of the code that refer to the newly added quest involving the the DaSilvas

In game stores: Trying to order the maximum number of items (12) in one go, result in error message "not enough room in your offer area", even though the offer area has 12 empty slots. - Playing v7974 with UC 1.13 mod.

// always reserve an empty slot for change.  We can't tell for sure whether player is getting change because that
// could depend on how many items he's trying to buy won't fit - he could only be getting change because of that!

{
   uiAvailablePlayerOfferSlots--;

Leaving Sector bug
Continued random freezes, but probably due to Win 10?
I also have random freezes, for example just now after right-clicking an item to open the item's description - but then after force-quitting and restarting it doesn't do it again, i.e. not reproducable, just really annoying if with bad timing. - I don't remember it being this bad in the past, so I'll write it off to it being Windows 10? Any tips for reducing the frequency of such annoyances? - I already have the 3 dll files mentioned elsewhere, and occasionally I remember to set affinity to 1 CPU, though I haven't managed to set up the shortcut to do it automatically.

CVB? why 10? you cant go further than 6 ingame soooooo....

You can do 10.

However that pretty much that it doesn't matter what value you put in that comment though, it can completely differ from mod to mod.

With latest unstable 8131 autoresolve crash happens on every autoresolve or militia vs enemy attack. I have win 7, gog JA2G +1.13, nothing else. inis and savegame: ttps://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2N225BDb3A8RzFzbXJVR2dXNGM&usp=sharing (add "h" at the beginning since im not allowed to post links though)
I have hundreds of gamehours starting from vanilla JA2 and I never experienced such CTD before. Started a new game and same thing happened again. Any guesses?

Not sure whether it has already been reported, but there is a bug in recent unstable exes (r8124 and following) that causes a crash in autoresolve. This has been fixed in r8149.

This may be a side effect of the "invisible soldiers" fix in 8131 although I wonder how this could happen. In your case the enemy is already on the map so he shouldn't be affected at all from the change. Unfortunately I'm not at the code atm. so I can't take a closer look.

The odd thing is that I could get them to spawn in the right spot by moving off the map to another city map (say moving from the airport to the middle of Drassen in the south, then moving back north to the airport), and they would all be in the right location.

However, if I moved to a different map square that required travel time (such as to the west of the airport on the road, then back to the airport) then it would spawn them along the map edge.

Here's one I'm unsure whether it's a bug or not.

Running SCI 8131, any map I find enemy soldiers in after the first airlanding level has all of the enemy soldiers along one edge of the map, as if they'd just arrived in the sector with me.

This includes meeting out in the open and when attacking cities. For instance, when attacking Drassen airfield, all the soldiers you'd expect to be in the buildings are along the forest edge to the south. This also means that sometimes when I move into an enemy sector (such as on the road to Drassen) my Mercs and the enemy soldiers all start along the same edge of the map within spitting distance of one another. I also tried this with the WF maps and the same thing occurred - after the first landing map, every enemy group was always along a map edge and never within the center of the map or in buildings. They can even spawn along the same map-edge that I enter the map from.

However, this only applies to enemy soldiers - NPCs and civilians are still in their set locations, items appear where they're supposed to, and everything else seems to be working fine. I even booted up the maps in the editor and saw that the deployment seems intact for where the enemy should be loitering around. The enemy still behaves normally, in a manner of speaking - if Forced Turn is off they start moving at once.

EDIT: I can't post a screenshot due to the post limit, but here's a rough link to it if you want to see. All the figures near Barry are enemy soldiers who were already in the sector when I attacked - and they spawned in on the same side of the map I attacked from.

EDIT: Continued playing around with it in game. The AI seems to know where it is supposed to go and, if I remain hidden, the enemy soldiers run to try and reach their designated areas.

And if I leave a sector without fighting, such as moving south from Drassen, then the map seems to load fine. When I move back up north to the airport, all the soldiers are in their set locations.

However, if I leave the map and run around before returning to the airport, such as moving up the road a distance before coming back, then the same issue returns and all the soldiers are back at the southern end of the map.

I uploaded a fixed revision 8162 exe here in case anyone wants to test the fix

Btw. I can't download the savegames as that site requires me to login.

Uhm... sorry, always used 4shared to store "emergency backup" of my games/documentation of games and never realized that thing

Any suggestion (easy and free) to solve this problem?
