Hi there.

I'm using the UFO:Alien invasion on Mac OS and recently I had this bug on a campaign mission (+city). I downloaded the patch and copied it to UFOAI/base/ (on the same dir as the 0maps.pk3).

I run the UFOAI and tried the +city small and +city medium on a skirmish game.

I've obtained the the following result:

+city medium:
The problem seems to continue. I can't select a unit (from 1 to 7) using mouse (only using keys), and I can't move them.


+city small:
The problem was partially solved. I can select a unit using mouse, the cursor turns green when I try to move it to some place nearby, but when I click on the mouse to actually move him, nothing happens. (See the next image, where the units' feet are now on the top of the ship, and not inside the ship as the previous image).


Any thoughts on how to solve this?

My guess is that the patch is not being read. Do you have only pk3 folders in /base/ or do you have a subfolder /maps/?

Other possibility: do you have multiple versions of the game installed and maybe you're playing a different version than the one where you placed the 1maps.pk3?

I don't have a subfolder maps.

I have a directory called i18n inside the base, along with every pk3 file and a game.dylib. To confirm if it is being read, I can erase both (1maps and 0maps) and the game should crash or give some sign that something is wrong right? I did that and after I choose a map, the game went all black and didn't start the skirmish game. That ensures that the game is reading the 0maps.pk3 that I erased.

Furthermore, I put back the 1maps.pk3 and the game didn't work on the +city. And If I put back the both, the game loads +city but the units error continues to exist.

I won't mind having the error, unless every time I run the campaign I lose 8 men to abort the mission (or try to be a rambo with the 8th).


The other possibility is not possible, I open content and open the game on the same icon, on ~/Applications, which is unique. This possibility is too discarded because the test I just made.

Please next time use jpg for screenshot like that, and reduce the image size (2MB is very big) or thumb it.

Hmm, then I have no ideas. I can only say confirm that the patch has worked for me and many other people. Perhaps you're the first Mac user to try it? I wouldn't think that would be the problem but I don't know Macs at all.

Also, there will be no difference between +city small and +city medium. Both use the same BSP file for the firebird dropship. It's possible the differences you see are unrelated to the BSP file, though I wouldn't know what it would be.
