Can't walk up the stairs to UFO

[Roy Dest]

Hello.
Thanks for the greaaaat game. I'm UFO EU, TftD, and Apocalypse veteran. Also, this is my first post here.

I shot down a small UFO (or ambushed it? didn't look damaged), probably a supply ship, which is ascended above ground and Ortnoks walks out and in by a sort of sloping platform or stairs.
My tactics went extremely well, I surrounded the ship exit by Snipers, Assaulters and Grenadiers, while my two Agents sneaked from behind to the stairs, to stun the Ortnoks when they will continue coming out. Which they didn't really do much, seeing that massive fire force in front of them. (also I wasn't yet aware, that the AI always knows where the soldiers are)

I shot one of three in the ship and wanted to run there by both Agents to stun them at one moment, but... The slope leading into the ship just appeared as an obstacle, not as stairs. I couldn't walk up there and get my Ortnoks alive (so far I have one Shevaar alive, fortunately that's enough for all researches) so I shot one of them, the second hid deeper in the ship, and I had a hard time with flushing him out by a dozen or more of blindly shot incendiary grenades, before he probably died by boredom and I was allowed to end the mission. That's pleasant like a cat, which doesn't kill a mouse properly, and the mouse crawls somewhere, dies there and the room stinks for a month.

This kind of UFO stairs, lubed by an anti-human lubricant, making the earther's boots slip off, is probably a very ingenious alien's advantage over a miserable earthlings. Can't wait for my engineers to fool this trick and make me boots of an alien leather. Ortnok tough skin makes a good military boots, however, my agents would deserve something subtler and more elegant, maybe a Taman...

 Too Funny

Happened to me too. The first mission where you got to stop the aliens from releasing a virus. The aliens land in a big troop ship of some sort - my agent got stuck on the stairs - couldn't go up OR down.
He could turn in place, but everyting else showed up as unwalkable terrain.
Other agents  could move just past him and continue.

it was fixed in 2.3

it was fixed in 2.3

Glad to hear it!

Alien hide boots...what an idea!  I love it.  We can't sell coprses, but can I set my engineers to making leather jackets, wallets, etc?

To be eco-friendly...a restaurant?  Ortnok steak, anyone?  I mean, it comes from the field already partially cooked - depending how close to the laser burn, from raw to well done.

[BAM]

Well done Taman for me, please.

[DanielOR]

Why, absolutely, Sir.  One well done USDA choice, hive-raised Taman coming right up.  It is a bit gamy, the someliere suggests a nice Roja wine with the meat.

[TrashMan]

WAITER! I got a plasma grenade in my Ortnok!

[DanielOR]

A fragment or a whole grenade?  This is important: a fragment is likely to cause a chipped tooth, while an entire greande, if biten down on, may cause a major, major headache.

Hey Dan...no head = no headache

it was fixed in 2.3

You mean, it will be when 2.3 is released?

[Kildor]

It was fixed in trunk. Current trunk version is 2.3. And trunk cans be compiled and played. That all what I mean.

[Doctor J]

I tried trunk, but i never inhaled.     No, seriously, half the time when all the makes were complete, all i got out of it was a seg fault.  Or the game would start, but refuse to load my save.  Or whatever.  I gave up.  Really, you should have stopped when you said that trunk can be compiled.  On any given day, it was not what i would consider to be 'playable'.

[Kildor]

Strange. I use only trunk since september. And yes, sometimes (most of time) it doesn`t playable at all. But currently you can play without much problem.

PS: And, about your previous post — you said 'will be fixed', but it 'was fixed already', unlike many open bugs that will be fixed to release date, and some open bugs that will not.
