Do you think there are other bugs you can fix?

 

yes

 

What bugs?

 

Can you upload savegame with ladder where monsters will be killed? Savegame where they are not killed you already provided, but I need second one to compare and find the cause of the bug.

 

Yes, but it may take a long time... Because this bug is random.

Save 0 is quite complicated because there is another bug. See video. Go right and go down when the two enemies block the third enemy under the ladder.
Save 1, it is easier.. Just go down... Hoping you have this bug... I have this bug in this place.
bug 100

I will look tomorrow for other places easier to see this bug.

 

Hi,

Here are two other saves:
saves_1

 

Here are two saves:
CAPTIVE9.SAV with ladder
CAPTIVE2.SAV no ladder
saves_2

 

Hi,

Here are two other saves:
saves_10

It is hard to find the right place. The bug is random.
I will try to find other places.

 

Can you find the ladder where every time you try to kill monster you will succeed? You already gave me saves where player can't kill monsters with ladder and now I need saves where ladder kill is garanteed.

 

Hi,
Yes, I will search.

 

I think there are no "good" places or "bad" places. Because it is random.
The 'bad' place becomes a 'good' place when loading a save and vice-versa.

saves11

CAPTIVE0.SAV: Random
CAPTIVE6.SAV: Same time as the CAPTIVE7.SAV save: 2 ennemies, 1 visible enemy and 1 invisible enemy because it is crushed (embedded in the other enemy). Leave some time and the enemy will become visible.
CAPTIVE7.SAV: Same time as the CAPTIVE6.SAV save: 3 enemies visible, because 1 enemy has arrived.

I continue to search.

 

Hi,

I loaded this save three times and the enemy got crushed each time.

saves 12

 

Hi,

I am giving up. It is too difficult to find good places. It is too random.
You have done miracles on this game.
I think you did your best for this game.

 

Hi,

I send you two more saves:
saves 20

Do you think this bug can be fixed?

 

Hi,

I send you two more saves:
saves_21

CAPTIVE3.SAV... The enemy is trapped below. Just drop down to crush the enemy.

 

Hi,

There is a bug. The enemy is in the wall and it is impossible to kill him.
There are 4 saves. (north, east, south and west).

There is another bug, but I do not think it is fixable. At mission 118 and planet 08, there is a door to the right as you enter base, but there is no panel to open this door in VGA version.
There is this panel in the EGA version, but it is very far and at the lower level. I have never seen this.
In the VGA folder. "CAPTIVE0.SAV" save is the start of the base. We see that there are small changes compared to the EGA version.
"CAPTIVE1.SAV" save is where the codes panel should be. Screenshot "code 1"


In the EGA folder (we can play in VGA). "CAPTIVE0.SAV" save is the start of the base. We see that there are small changes compared to the VGA version.
"CAPTIVE1.SAV" save is where the codes panel is, but not in VGA version. Screenshot "code 0"

Save:
save captive

Hi,

How are you?
It is excellent !!
You do miracles...

I found an bug and another big bug.
save captive
1) There is an enemy in the wall. It is impossible to kill him. I send you 4 saves with 4 different locations (south, north, east and west).
2) There is no door code on right when you enter the station in VGA mode.
There is the code in the EGA mode, but it is very far. But, the code is there. (see screenshot and save). I do not think this bug can be fixed.

I thank you for your help.

 

It is a bug of map generator, listed on site Captive - Bugs :

I added additional check for solid wall before elevator to map generator's encounter creation routine. Now map generator can't create encounter in a wall in front of elevator doors and will create this encounter in a next suitable place (more info on "suitable places" here: MapGen - Encounters ). But it means that all encounter starting with encounter from solid wall in front of elevator will appear on next suitalble place.

Gunner at 27:1C (there is solid wall at these coordinates in your savegame) moved to 2A:00, 9 Gobots from 2A:00 moved to 0D:04 and so on.

Also it will slightly change list of items available on level (probably because its generator uses the same pseudorandom sequence and after skipping one "suitable place" items are generated from different part of this sequence).

On Levels without encounters in solid walls in front of elevator doors nothing will be changed.

New file is attached to this post.

You'll have to start new mission for changes to work.
