TNoyce Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Shame there's no save - it could be as simple as another typo in a different file (or maybe you missed a line when search-replacing in solder_spectre.xml?). If it's the same problem, finding out which alien and weapon would help. I did this by reloading, killing the alien that could cause freeze, and walking a guy over to check what it was.Maybe next time Oh, was the alien invisible? The alien was completely visible, alongside the crashed UFO. I did a global search and replace in the one file, and double-checked. So, uncertain as to why it didn't work.

Resis Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I believe I have a fix for this issue.The problem seems to be a typo in assets\units\alien\caesan\noncombatant\weapon.Alie nPlasmaPistol\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. This worked for me - good find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdt luppo Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi, same bug here, game frozen on reaction fire. can someone tell me exactly what to do with the "soldier_spectre.xml" file ?! I have located this file : are we supposed to place "noncombatant" in each line of the file ??!! : <anim src="units/alien/caesan/weapon.AlienPlasmaPistol/run_s" anim="walk_D"/> (sample line) ... then the line became ... <anim src="units/alien/caesan/noncombatant/weapon.AlienPlasmaPistol/run_s" anim="walk_D"/> .... that's it ? that's a lot of lines to be manually modified.... thanks for any help, i can't play the game since 4-5 days because of that...

NoIdidnt Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) ctd luppo - open the file with notepad then click the edit tab and click replace tab there. then type in "caesan/weapon" in the find text line and "caesan/noncombatant/weapon" in the replace text line and click the replace all button. save file and exit. if you do a file confirmation on desura it will remove this modification so you will need to do the replace again.

nutbarz Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Ok, So Anyone Have this Happen with a Sebillian? I Did yesterday, and I think I found the Problem. I Could be Wrong. But the Error could be similar to the Cesean Problem, but I think its soldier Alien Plasma Rifle, the spectre file reads Guard, not soldier. Have not been able to confirm a fix yet. But I'll work on it. Spectre for the Soldier Plasma Rifle reads - Guard in the file and not soldier. units/alien/sebillian/guard/weapon.AlienPlasmaRifle/idle_e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Is this issue fixed in the current build? I made a save game every time in a combat so I could reproduce it in the earlier builds but it won't crash in the current release. Anyone?
