Title: [32055] stunned alien bug
Post by: jerikojerk on August 30, 2010, 01:57:30 am

to get great improvement, we have to go through some bugs.

what happen: 255 aliens were rescaped from a mission i won.

what is noticeable is that i stunned an ortnok, then the very last remaining ortnok with the stun staff, the orthnok stay alert, then shot a burst of plasma riffle at this ortnok (whom die grrr) and get the following strange victory, immediatly followed by game over message.

i think killing a alien who was already stunned is the key of this bug. 255 looks like unsigned issue for -1 as i suspect "remaining aliens" are computed from killed alien minus stunned alien.

If you allow to kill stunned alien, you have to increment killed alien count AND decrement stunned alien count.

Did i good guess?

i noticed that you could stunned a alien two times, with stunned grenade, and get this victory and the game over.

i'm trying to kill an stunned alien, it doesn't work anymore, so the victory message is ok. Your patch seems to work fine.

Code: [Select]

i have the habit to remove all the weapons  who are lying on the floor, i don't want a alien to wake up and takes arms.
