BZ2 SP Mission Fixes

[MrTwosheds]

initially spawned builder must be used to build jammer, so i am making that generic

That might have something to do with it always going wrong for me, I usually have at least 3 scion builders.

[DeusExCeteri]

Oh, hah! Same here, no wonder that mission glitched the first two times I played it but mysteriously worked the third attempt.

i haven't forgotten this; brother was here for 10 daze, plus pc's ups died, so getting back in the saddle now.

10 daze

Dude. Man. Dude.

Sorry RD, I do not understand: now jammer does not require an Overseer? After your fixes installed, I can build jammer as soon as I gather 50 scrap.

[Red Devil]

which mission/missions?

[Red Devil]

found out that the original Ambush/scion02 engineers builds a custom/modified builder for this mission, which builds a custom/modified jammer that does not have the requirements of an overseer.

scion management added the requirement of the overseer later on, probably to create more paperwork and, in turn, of course, just made it harder for the rank and file to do their jobs.

I played through whole Scion campaign recently with these. Great job! Only got stuck in the second-to-last Scion mission. I completed all the objectives but the end never triggered even after playing Shabeyev's audio.

[Red Devil]

cool, thanks; will look at it when feeling better

[Red Devil]

i just tried The AAN and it completed okay. did you destroy the power crystal while capturing their base?

disregard; there is a test for if the crystal is destroyed, but no fail for it, so i'll add that and check the success condition.

[Red Devil]

got it failing if you destroy the power crystal, plus fixed some other fail screens. i'll focus on making sure success situations run okay now.

[Red Devil]

Try this update for The AAN and let me know if it is okay, please. just unzip into root so that it has the directory structure of addon\Missions\<updates>

The AAN Update

+ made mission fail if crystal is destroyed
+ changed fail texts to red
+ extended objective succeed/fail timeouts to 10 seconds
+ changed succeed timeout to 10 seconds
+ added fail screen for crystal fail

[MrTwosheds]

You broke it. No orders, no voice overs, no attackers.

[Red Devil]

no way! i just ran it fine. maybe running it via the editor using /noscript?

edit: i compiled it using vs 2015; do you have the 2013 redist in your redist folder?

[Red Devil]

just tried it again in public a130g and it ran okay.
