Zombie Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Thanks for the saved game Veki, that's exactly what I was looking for (terror mission on the map with Triton en route). I let the Triton land, then immediately saved the game into a fresh slot. When I looked at the aquanauts in the mission though, they were not up to the task of testing so I went back and upped their stats and edited craft.dat to give them some MC Disruptors. Then I cleaned out the save slot, reloaded the game, waited for the Triton to land and saved again in a fresh slot. Much better. Here's a pic of unitref.dat in MS-Edit:It's a clean save as you can see, and yep, there is a naturally occurring Xarquid on the map. Take a gander at the terrorist listing though, it's pretty messed up. Since this happened in my game without using a loader and a clean save, I think it's safe to eliminate the loader or overwriting which causes these problems. My only guess right now is that the skill level (Superhuman) causes the messed up ordering and Xarquid substitution, because on Beginner I never saw this. Oh, and by the way, there are Triscenes on the map. Some of them are spawned in incorrect locations too leading to them being stuck and unable to move. Will continue to research this as time permits. (Maybe this weekend). We'll get to the bottom of this yet folks! - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic9mushroom Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Regarding Lobster Men: in addition to the Medic -> Technician replacement, I believe there's also a swap between Technicians and Squad Leaders. I say this because Lobster Man Escorts and Cruisers have Technicians (but no Squad Leaders or Medics, which establishes Squad Leader -> Technician and Medic -> Technician or Soldier; the high number of Technicians on Lobbie missions in general suggests it's the former) but Lobster Man Squad Leaders do exist on bigger subs like the Fleet Supply Cruiser (which clearly have to be replacing another rank; the only ones available are Technician and Navigator and my guess is Technician since there are several of them on Superhuman and Lobster Man Navigators also show up).
