???Up stairs in the alien ships???

[Duke]

There are many more that can and will help you
It's just that at *this* time of the day I'm almost the only one around

Did you manage to compile the map ?
I'd suggest you play a little skirmish +tropic and see if you can enter the 2nd floor of the harvester...

I truely cant find any file named harvester.bsp 

[H-Hour]

C:\Program Files\UFOAI-2.3\base\maps\tropic\tr_craft_ufo_harvester.map

That's the map file you need to replace, and when you run ufoai from the cmd line, follow the steps Duke said, but I added something in bold to the cmd:

Ok, here is a zip of the harvester.
- unpack it (you make backups, don't you ?)
- delete the harvester.bsp
- open a cmd.exe
- change to c:\ufoai
- type ufo2map maps/tropic/tr_craft_ufo_harvester.map (note the slash here !)

[EazY]

Well it seemed to compile



However th second screenshot proves otherwise. their is no blue square letting me know i can enter that room

I just checked the 2.4 map and it seems alright there. Try compiling the attached .map file instead. I'm having mattn check if it needs to be merged to 2.3.1. I've lost track of all the harvester changes now...

[EazY]

Nope didnt work., Wonder if I could delete the tropic map its effecting

[H-Hour]

Shouldn't matter. Don't delete the BSP file, but try moving it out of the folder somewhere and then try compiling. Not sure why it wouldn't work though.

[EazY]

Well I havent came across a Tropical scenario so far (quick fix, maybe)

If you would do a little search before posting, you'd know it's known bug and is being worked on...

Wow what a helpful response.  If I ran a company I'd hire this guy to run my Customer Service in a heartbeat.

Seriously though, it is an annoying bug but here is what I do when I get it:
I place guys around the central stairs all on RF.
Have one guy shoot up the stairs (doesnt need to be at an alien, just a wall).
Move the shooter behind a wall.

Usually some sort of noise, like a shot, will get them to come down the stairs.  Dont use a grenade   because if you miss you might hurt someone.  I ended up blowing 3 of my own guys up doing that.

If that doesnt work, sometimes having your entire crew exit the UFO can get them to come down.
