V9.0 (I think) Ground Combat & Geoscape / Invisivle Alien, F17 Escaped to Space


Recommended Posts

Think they've both been posted before:

Firstly

Invisible alien, tried to make soldiers approach and game froze with 'REACTION FIRE' written across bottom.

Message sometimes appears: "UFO - F17 Escaped to Space"

(Running current latest version, think it's v9)

I have also encountered invisible aliens. Game tells me that theres an alien somewhere but all i can see is the ground shadow of an alien.

I can also aim at it. but i cannot fire because the aim grid wont turn red and stays gray. I killed one with bazooka or similar.

I can put a screenshot next time i encounter one.

Try this: (it seems to work for me)

I believe I have a fix for this issue.

The problem seems to be a typo in assets\units\alien\caesan\noncombatant\weapon.AlienPlasmaPistol\soldier_spectre.xml

Replace caesan/weapon with caesan/noncombatant/weapon and the game is able to find the right animation. This also seems to fix the invisible alien bug for me - perhaps they are the same issue.

I dont completely understand that. I cant find caesan/weapon directory, i have only caesan/noncombatant/weapon directory.

Go to the caesan\noncombatant\weapon\weapon.AlienPlasmaPistol directory and find the file soldier_spectre.xml

This file you edit in e.g. Notepad

There are alot of lines, so the fastest way is to "Search and Replace" (ctrl+H on my computer)

Find: caesan/weapon

Replace with: caesan/noncombatant/weapon

Did that help?
