Public Beta 4 Bug Reports

[Nielk1]

I got GSH to add a toggle on the deploy for the whole altitude thing. If the toggle is on the scav's root is pulled to the ground, so now no more height issues. Throw in an animation of the hover scav getting higher and it is seamless.

[TheJamsh]

urm, what is the ODF entry for the toggle thingy?

is that so you can make hover scavs either hit the ground OR stay at their altitude when deploying?

[GSH]

From the pb4a changelog:

Work on mantis #1199 - hoverscavs & deploy height. Added

[DeployableClass]
HoverScavDeployAtAltitude = true

   If this is true, it uses the setAltitude to offset its position during deploying. If false, it ignores setAltitude. 1.3pb3 effectively treated this as false.

Has anyone noticed the in-game music not playing when using the .ogg files feature?

[Red Devil]

The music is playing now after I rebooted my computer.

Its easier for GSH to see bugs if they're in separate topics I think. Having them all in one might be annoying to look for them.

[TheJamsh]

aye thats fair enough i guess...

@Killer_AK:

One, dont post a single AV in every single thread pertaining to reporting of AVs. It's turning into spam.

Two, Readme Before Posting Bugs.

[Killer AK]

ya no hoot....i stopped now.

[mrtwosheds]

Ok here a weird one, not a bug as such, just odd.
Just getting the mpi working again for pb4 and have noticed new strangeness with assault hover vehicles, sometimes my AI Assault Dalek's, fail to shoot, indeed fail to point their turrets in the right direction, instead they chase you, drive right into you, Completely suicidal, maybe they want a kiss...

Has anyone else seen this? have any idea what may be causing it?

[bigbadbogie]

An engageRange of 0??

But I doubt it.. I have seen that happening long before pb4. In pb3 I used to order my QF units to attack an enemy QF powergen, and they would just run into it.
Then I swapped it for an ISDF pgen and they attacked it normally... I have no idea what the hell could possibly cause it.

[mrtwosheds]

Um no.
All these units worked in pb3, no significant changes have been made by me, I do notice that AI assault hover will now use its special, which it did not before, so im adjusting my weapon masks to see if it makes any difference.
On mass the Assault Dalek units do that sort of country dancing where they all spin around each other, if the emperor hears about this I am dead meat, again!

[bigbadbogie]

Its a very strange bug.
