Soldier can't get off stairs. Getting down stairs works most of the time. Sometimes it doesn't.

Attachments ufo07.jpg and ufo08.jpg are particularly interesting. I had a handful of troops cross that boundary, each one couldn't go back onto the field once they stepped off of it.

Another field that isn't accessible. Sometimes it becomes accessible later, I can't figure out what the trigger is.

We're currently working on a patch that will probably fix most of or even all of the problems described.
Once that fix has been committed to trunk, we will ask you to re-test those scenarios.

Sweet, sounds good. I'd like to help out any way I can. This is great stuff.
====== aduke1 (2009-04-19 21:53:39) ======

The patch I mentioned has been committed to trunk (rev 24091).
I guess *now* would be a good time for you to get latest trunk code, retest and see if your problems persist...

The problems I mentioned are fixed! Problems are solved. Tested on rev 24204.
