hosser Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'm going to try and reproduce this in a second. Killed an alien (awesome SFX btw ) and nabbed his Plasma Rifle. Clicked return to battlefield and Xenonauts crashed to desktop. Used to work in the previous builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I think it might be due to us not being able to use them till after they're researched. Its explained a bit in the Xenopedia entries for the weapon. Shouldn't crash though, an alert maybe. Someone try it after researching the pistol/rifle.

Chris Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Nah you should be able to use them already. If you can work out reproduction steps please do tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Lokik's tested this a bit. Trying to equip the plasma pistol or rifle before or after researching it will cause an immediate crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoNUT Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 This still causes a crash for me on v9.4. I am sure that is one of the first things people are going to try (looting the aliens) when the public build is released for the kickstarter.

Hellstormer Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I can confirm this is still happening in v9.4 - because I just tested it and BAM -> crashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenoNUT Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Thanks, just thinking those who play the public build for the kickstarter are not going to go hunting for a workaround (as already mentioned). Bugs are bugs, but CTDs are ugly. Oh, and the workaround: The alien plasma cell has no inventory image associated with it.If you want to fix it open assets/weapons and make a new folder called plasma. Copy the lasercell.png from assets/weapons/laser into your new folder and rename it plasmacell.png. /assets/weapons/plasma folder already exists. plasmacell.png also exists within that folder.

craftomega Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I am currently making a patch for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 It does. Thanks for the report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The plasma cell is set correctly now - if it wasn't, you couldn't open the inventory without a crash. The actual problem is because the /units/ folders contain folders like weapons.AlienPlasmaRifle which contain spectre files but no images, so the game crashes when trying to read them. If you delete those this is fine (and the game just displays an unarmed soldier when you have an alien weapon equipped). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceVamp Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 But I fired a rifle once. Back in 8.X I think. It was still the green bolt. Walked over to the corpse, picked it up, let off a few shots and dropped it again I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
