'Big city' map - Soldiers cannot get out
« on: October 19, 2010, 05:46:46 am »
I had a mission on a map called 'Big city' .. that's all there was for the name and the description of the mission. It's a map with a multi-storey car park / parking garage.

All but one of my soldiers was trapped in the dropship, unable to get out. The default ground 'level' appeared to be '2', instead of '1', I don't know if that was the issue, but none of the soldiers in the ship could get out. I tried changing levels too. When I selected level 1, the screen was black.

So, I had to quit out of the map.

Yes, please let us know which dropship. If you have a savegame or ufoconsole.log file from it that would help.

I can't replicate this in trunk. All soldiers moved fine. I did notice we now have the rescue zone triggers in there. Is there any chance that he's got an old version of the game that doesn't understand rescue zones and a newer version of the map files that include them?

Sure, I could imagine: 2.3 source + mapget.

Having this same issue.  +city map with firebird dropship.  One soldier can be moved, but the others are stuck in dropship.  consistently with either gui. 

Downloaded 2.3.1 from here and so far this is the only problem I've experienced with it.  Running under Windows XP SP3 with an Nvidia gfx card.
