Title: Level will not progress "A game of TAG"
Post by: Kobnar on April 23, 2006, 03:01:59 pm: I was wondering if there is a way to unlock the next level or all levels so that I can skip what's left of this one...
The level I'm stuck on is the level where you use the prototype weapon the "TAG"..
everything goes fine until Virgo wing shows up, I waist them but then I still have "Distroy Virgo [4]" under my directives list and the level will not progress.
Oh and BTW I'm using Linux and building with the CVS.
thx.

Post by: karajorma on April 23, 2006, 03:17:37 pm: This is a known bug. Virgo wing are out there somewhere but for some reason they don't fly in to attack the Warspite and so no one can find them easily in order to kill them.

Post by: Kobnar on April 23, 2006, 03:25:41 pm: Well I've actually enganged and destroyed virgo wing... I watched them die and the counter go down to 1 then once the last bomber was destroyed it jumped back up to 4.

Post by: Shade on April 23, 2006, 03:27:54 pm: That is due to virgo wing having two waves, and not a bug.

Post by: Kobnar on April 23, 2006, 03:36:29 pm: well I guess the question still stands... how can I skip the rest of this level?

Post by: Shade on April 23, 2006, 03:46:18 pm: Fail a mission enough times and you're allowed to skip it. Think it's 4.

Otherwise, I suppose you could create an empty mission in FRED, add a primary goal that becomes true after 10 seconds, then save it as SM2-02.fs2 and stick it in the data\missions folder. If I'm not mistaken, it should then override the mission in root_fs2.vp and let you continue the campaign after doing the "mission".

Post by: karajorma on April 23, 2006, 03:48:37 pm: Unrar and dump this in your mediavps/Data/Missions folder (or Data/Missions if you don't have one).

Virgo wing should now have vague orders to head in the general direction of the Warspite.

Incidentally Virgo Wing have no orders to attack the Warspite or Lucidity. Instead the individual ships in Virgo wing have orders to do that. Has anyone altered anything recently that could make that a problem?

Post by: Wanderer on April 23, 2006, 04:01:57 pm: I think this could be related.. I had some time ago (until today infact) problems with different AI controlled wings.. Initial wave operated as it should but follow up waves operated in a bit odd way.. Only wing leaders acted and wingmen only followed the wingleader until the leader was killed and then 2nd ship started fighting etc. all the time only 1 ship per wave was actice and rest were just hanging around. I got it fixed by (removing invidual ship initial orders and) giving wing initial orders instead.

I thought it was just me with fred doing that... didnt really give any second thoughts about it.

EDIT: All with fairly recent cvs builds (from 20060327 to 20060421)

I like a challenge and all, but don't you think making Cancer 1 invulnerable was a bit much? :D

Post by: karajorma on April 26, 2006, 12:09:58 pm: I didn't alter cancer wing at all. If they are now invulnerable that's a FRED bug.

Yep. Definitely a FRED bug. I'll have to check if it's something I introduced or if it's older.

Post by: Wedge on April 26, 2006, 12:36:21 pm: I thought it was a bit weird :) It's just Cancer 1 though, the other 3 are normal.
Title: Re: Level will not progress "A game of TAG"
Post by: karajorma on April 26, 2006, 12:55:07 pm: Recreated what I did and it did it again. Definitely a bug. Probably related to whatever is setting Alpha 1 as Targetable as bomb in every mission I make. I'll have to track this one down and see what caused it.

Post by: neoterran on April 27, 2006, 12:22:32 pm: So should we download that file in the meantime or what ?
Title: Re: Level will not progress "A game of TAG"
Post by: karajorma on April 27, 2006, 12:32:55 pm: Updated to the working version. Sorry, forgot to do that earlier.

Post by: kahansen on May 22, 2006, 10:42:48 am: I'm having a similar problem with "A Game of TAG".
The bombers DO appear, but a while after I've destroyed them, I get a radio message telling
me a new wave whave jumped in, and the VIRGO [4] mission indicator goes back to "not completed"...
Any idea's on how to solve this?
Title: Re: Level will not progress "A game of TAG"
Post by: karajorma on May 22, 2006, 10:56:40 am: Ummmm. I linked you to this thread cause there's a fixed version of the mission attached to my post :)

It should solve the problem for you.

Post by: kahansen on May 22, 2006, 12:09:29 pm: Sorry :D.
Title: Re: Level will not progress "A game of TAG"
Post by: kahansen on May 22, 2006, 12:23:43 pm: Got it right this time :)
That fixed file worked like a charm!
Thanks mate! :)

Post by: karajorma on July 13, 2006, 02:41:28 pm: Best fix is to update to a newer version :) The problem should be gone in 3.6.9 RC4 and 5 at least.
