No alien during base defence mission
« on: August 08, 2007, 02:06:51 pm »
Hi

I've got an interesting issue during base defence mission: there are no aliens in base, therfore it is unable to end a mission.

Also, I found message like "no alien spawn points in this map or aliens are deactivated for multiplayer"

Am I overlooking something? Is there a possibility to fix that easy way (like inserting aliens manually or something)?

I'm Using 2.1.1 on Mac.

Unfortunately I don't know... screen in the beginning of that mission is somewhat screwed up. Instead of map name it display something like  Loading Map [b/g/hospital b/g/radar ...(and so on)]
And image of that screen is a weird ... black soft-edged square on red background.

Where alien spawns in base defence mission? If in particular map tiles, maybe his base did not have them?

Can you explain, what is "alien spawn"? Facilities with entrances? I had them...
If it's any help, I can send you savegame... but if this is Mac-only bug, it couldn't help you.
I also took screenshots of loading screen and console log. I can send them also, if you're interested.

Alien spawn points are just the starting positions for aliens on the map. Every map needs to have them to allow to spawn (add to the game) aliens. I just don't know where alien spawn points are located for basedefence mission. If on the ground, most probably there is no problem, but if in some facilities (base modules), which your base lacks currently, there is a problem because aliens do not have spawn points to spawn.
The loading screen for basedefence mission is ok - it just puts the info about all map tiles which are loaded for this mission (this will most probably change in the future because map tiles in loading screen is useless information from the user point of view).
