Bugs prior to release 2.3 / base under attack, wrong map

« on: October 18, 2009, 11:17:59 pm »

Hello,

rev 26676 and earlier, in single player, campaign mode; window xp.  Alien has begun attack my third base. 

pop up with base attack options where i equipped soldiers...  shows my 3rd base soldiers (8 in residence).

then battlescape shows 1st base map (not the third base) for battle with my 3rd base soldiers... What instant "move"  .  proceeded with battle

after battle is resolved, checked...  equipment, soldiers, etc  make sure no false or mistaken switches. so far nothing like that.

Only bug is the base map, picking 1st base, instead of the 3rd base.

Bugs prior to release 2.3 / Re: Auto-Scrolling wrong when enemy shoot at me (ver26236)

Hello,

would like to add something to what Viento have noticed. Once the shot (alien fire) goes off screen, camera view stays there until 'my turn'.

For example  Alien shoot hits object like house or wall.  camera scrolls to the 'hit-object. and continue on with alien or new shot(s).  When shot goes off the map into the blackness...  will not "continue" the scrolling with alien or new shots.

I utilized a workaround.  I zoom the whole map out (widest possible view),  go to options, game uncheck center unit. What this will happens, camera will not move or auto scroll and with careful (albeit very hard!!!) observation you could notice where shots are coming from and if aliens are hidden or visible will "appear-disappear" (as in moving across the soldier's view). When it becomes my turn... I go to options and check center unit  and presto enables me to track visible aliens and my soldiers.   yes This is time consuming. 

wondered whether to take advantage of this workaound with keypress turning on-off the center unit option.
