Freedom II Campaign

[BIG KROK V8 SS]

Been playing this plugin, kinda cool maybe a bit annoying. Going into the 3rd game it crashed and gave me a message to contact project magma and report it. Do you guys want me to post the crash log here and/or recording crash film?

[Pyro]

Sure.

Also, the 2nd level of Bushido, as well as the first level of Sisters of the Blade always bugs and the game never ends properly. For Bushido, it automatically ends the game in defeat for no reason, while Sisters just goes on for infinity with the characters stuck in uncontrollable blue mode moonwalking all over each other.

Is there a fix for these, or is there something in the new patch that now makes them not perform properly?

[vinylrake]

The first level of Sisters of the Blade has some funky scripting but you can complete it.

<<spoilers>>

I forget the exact details of how to trigger the assassins but once you are in the town/keep across the river some assassins appear, you have to kill the assassins (in the town) then a whole bunch of orcs (or whatever the gobliny things are called) attack the town and one of those tall Douds appears in the town and says " follow me if you want to live" (or something like that). then you lose control of all your units but Trin and you follow the Doud out of town to the edge of the map and the level ends.

If you are in town and no assassins appear to attack you, try walking around the town and walking in and out of different gates. the last time i played it i entered the town from the south gate and no assassins appeared. i then left and re-entered the north gate, then left through the east gate fought a few small patrols outside the town then went back in the town and the assassins appeared and the game went as it's supposed to.

[BIG KROK V8 SS]

Doesn't matter which entrance I use to enter the town, all the units go blue, and then walk in circles in the entrance. It never gets to the final script like you are referring to.

[vinylrake]

I don't know what is happening, I just played it through and had to exit and re-enter but eventually the Doud showed up and all the units EXCEPT Trin turned blue.

Did you trigger the assassins? Did the Doud show up? He appears right around the time the REST of your units turn blue. Did TRIN turn blue or just the other units? If you don't follow the Doud with Trin the level won't end.

[William Wallet]

I can't tell you what's up with Bushido,
but with Freedom it's some form of debugging that wigs out on the PC or Intel Mac versions. The level still works on the Mac Mac version of Myth II. If I ever get half an hour to sit down and remove whatever it is that's doing it (might've been a corrupted line of script, if I remember correctly) I'll have to make a patch.

Which I admit, I've actually forgotten how to do. Did it once but never uploaded it.

[Pyro]

I thought such issues (where it bugs in Windows but not Mac or vice versa) were all gone by now. Can a dev read that stack trace and hint at what the issue might be? I guess I can look at the script later and see if I can find the cause, since Will might have forgotten how to do it (or is too busy/lazy).

[Myrd]

I believe I fixed this already (but after 1.7.2), but I'll have to double-check.

[BIG KROK V8 SS]

Let me replay first level of sisters and find out. Never got into any ending sequence. I kill everything on the map, enter the town, everyone turns blue and walks in circles. I don't know what other assassins there would be to trigger, as I say I kill everything on the map first.

[BIG KROK V8 SS]

Okay that's weird. I went in the only door I hadn't tried yet, and everything worked. I went through the East door and it went through the sequence and everything and I won the level. Maybe the other doors are bugged or something?

[vinylrake]

It's probably scripted so that you have to enter through the east door to trigger the endgame scenario.

not the way it should be coded, but the last time i won i came up through the south gate then went out a couple of gates, then went out the east killed some things then came back in the east gate and that time there were knife throwing assassins and after killing them the duod showed up and everybody but trin turned blue and attacked some large patrols/forces of goblins.

[Olong2]

This was such a fun, nutty campaign. Ran it a few months ago, had a blast. Those crazy guys Down Under sure had a sense of humor, didn't they?

[BIG KROK V8 SS]

I haven't had a chance to play the entire campaign. When I play plugins like these, I kill everything on the map, and there are tons of units to kill and hard opposition. The archers' arrows actually shoot more realistically than regular bowmen, but it makes for a much tougher gameplay, so its good regular M2 bowmen are more balanced.
