BZ2 SP Mission Fixes

Heh...looks like the modders don't just gang up on outsiders; if they don't have someone to go after, they will begin eating at each other's ankles..I may not agree with Red Devil all the time, but he doesn't deserve this type of abuse....Poor guy.

Pot calling the kettle black Sly, but since you know so much about this community I shouldnt have to tell you that.
In any case, modders dont really gang up on anybody and specially not outsiders, I do know a crowd that does do that though. You know, like griefing people ingame, but always with 2 at the same time, as if they dont have the balls to come alone

Go away sly, known nicks pls

There's a difference between ganging up and not allowing.

In the case of known nicks it was both

No. Sorry.

Possibly more true now than before, but generally not true.

Hello everyone, I started playing this game again after some years last month, when clearing some old boxes in my garage found the old cd. I managed to get it working, and everything was great, until i came to this mission. I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or what, but in a certain point in the mission, Manson's recycler collapses. It isn't destroyed by anyone, at one moment is fully healthy, and in the other is dust. i did pretty much everything i could do, even sent 3 full squads of warriors to defend it, but it was useless. I don't know what to do, so if someone could help me, I'd really appreciate it.

You have to destroy the bridge so that doesn't happen, it's a timed event, so if you wait too long then it does what you witnessed. Killing the assault tanks there helps too.
So build your Scion base, minimal defenses, build about 6 warriors, take out bridge when prompted then assault tanks. After that then move a builder to Mansons base and build Spires in front of his base.

Thanks guys, I've downloaded the fixes and now i'll try to do it. I'll tell you if it worked

EDIT: Well, i've been playing the mission for a while now, and it doesn't happen anymore. There are a few things i'm sure they shouldn't happen though xD

1) When I was told to destroy the bridge, I realised there was no bridge at all. 3 Manson's Sabres had already destroyed it.
2) Remember the missile scouts and the assault tanks that used to appear when you get to Manson's base? well, they've never appeared. In fact, I haven't received any attack since I've been in Manson's base. Only a few Sabres, but in the Scion base.

And the mission is kind of stuck, I've been wondering the map for about 10 mins now, and nothing happens. Nothing at all.

Any more advice you could give? Are the things I just described ok?

[Red Devil]

you running a savegame? if not, it's not supposed to behave like that. worked fine on my end earlier... :-/

[Wolfram]

I don't know what else to do, i'll tell you what I do

Deploy mat, build 2 scavs and deploy them in the nearby pools
Build Kiln
Build 4 more turrets
Deploy another scav, and another one for loose scrap
Build another Builder
Upgrade Ext.
Upgrade Kiln
Build Antenna and Upgrade to Overseer
Build Stronghold
Build Dower
Start making tanks, and send them to Manson's base (with one of the builders, and I start building spires via overseer)

then they tell me to destroy the bridge, which is not there, and since then, nothing. Should I do something in another way, what would you reccomend?

[Red Devil]

i'll look at it right now.

[Red Devil]

works fine for me using the new dll; you using 1.2 or 1.3? install the dll's to addon\missions?

[Wolfram]

it is 1.3, and yes, I installed the addons there. I'll keep trying then, i hope that eventually it'll work
