Firestorm IA wierdness

[Mauler_Bait]

Ive noticed for a few patches now that the scions seem to have a bad habit of trying to send some of thier assault units up the mountains...i assume the aip is sending a "clear area" or whatever that plan is called and trying to kill the statues on the mountain for some reason...and i only really seem to see it vs the scions, not so much vs isdf...

Where are they doing this ?

please post a screenshot showing what location & get me a saved IA game so i can examine why they are doing this. At the moment i'm limited to a cheap laptop that isn't able to play bz2 for long so i can't really sit around watching them the entire game until i fix the power issue with my laptop discharging while being plugged in.
Thanks...


Warning: if you see someone going by the name "GreenHeart" in public games chances are it isn't me & that someone else is pretending to be.
When i'm playing bz2 i'm usually logged into IRC as an Operator so when in doubt ask me to login to my irc op account on the #bz2 channel, which the fake GreenHeart can't do. Usually I'll only play the private patch since that is what needs to be tested more than anything public patch.

Greenheart? I thought you'd gone for good!

I"m not gone yet, I'm still alive for a bit longer.


I've double checked in the editor for the mpi version, all of the statues appear to be on team 6 which should be the cpu team unless that changed. Since it isn't an issue with the isdf race & those statues don't use the path spawn method i'm guess its an aip related issue. I don't think i have enough battery run time or spare time to fully check all the aip sets to find the problem. If you want this fixed i'll need a saved game to help locate the issue & gather more information on the problem. I'm going to take a guess the aip set you used was Wug's aip set however I'm going to need more information to track down the issue. I don't think i'll able to do this on my own with a cheap laptop that requires both the battery & power cord to run a small amount of time. My other pc is in need of repair & i can't afford to fix it. Basicly without a saved game in IA the chances of getting me to research the issue further to resolve the problem is very low.

If the laptop won't run off of the AC Adapter with the battery removed, that points to a bad AC Adapter, which is what I was suggesting last week, hence the suggestion to remove the battery while only running off of the adapter.

statues are on team 6, probably from someone copying the MP map. i'll submit a fix for it and for any other maps that have that problem.

Thanks RD,

The Tech already checked out the laptop & power cord. The motherboard is going bad so that ends being able to play bz2. I've lost interest in playing violent video games.

Have a Nice Life,

Farewell...
I noticed a couple of maulers trying to climb the cliff in the middle of mpihilo, so its probably not Gh's issue, just some more daft pathing.

Sorry to see you go.

What should I do with all the stuff we have traded back and forth? Should I try to move forward?
