lobby problem - cheating [SOLVED]

[Ithilis_Quo]

When you cheat its not posible add civilian, because in this time im making huge mode and test everything a lot, its a problem...

This occur from last path, so its question about 2-3 day

[ckitching]

?

[keyser]

you can spawn civilian, maybe you use a map where there is no civilian...

Btw, I noticed a bug (that i think wasn't here before), if you fire a nuke as a civilian the game freeze/crash. Got this bug 4 time in a row

[ckitching]

I haven't the faintest idea what either of you is trying to say. You're talking complete gibberish...

I will double what keyser said,
Test on old vanilla map, it usually has 2 civillians there, one for peacfull and one for enemy civillians

You just need to get into cheat menu and go to civ POV, and spawn some units, is that what you want?

I also encountered some bugs with civs too, they have some weird issue wirh storages...

Edit: oh, i just read more carefully, so that is a recent issue... Well, can't help then.

@ckitching : well ithilis english isn't easy to understand i can translate it for you :
He is creating a mod, and he need to do lot of testing for that need. But he can't succeed to get civilian unit in the battlefield. And he finally say, that this matter appeared in last 2-3 days... this is why he think that the last patch may have cause this issue.

Then i'm asking him, if he is doing is test on a map where there is already civilian (ex : seton), because if you choose a map where there is no civilian you can't make unit for civilian.

@ckitching : maybe you just don't know how cheating/testing work ?

Edit : yes civilian have tons of bug, storage wise and there is some with idle engie. for nuke missile fire as civilian and crashing my game, i'm not sure it's a new bug, maybe i never did this before, so i didn't know about it before.

Thanks for the translation! Sorry about that..

That's right: the cheat menu lets you spawn extra units in any existing army, but you can't make new armies.
An "army" is the notion the game has to represent, sort of, a player. Maps will declare all possible armies (in the case of Skirmish maps this is one per spawn point (for the player armies) plus one or more armies to already exist on the battlefield: usually civilians.

A recent patch has caused the cheat menu UI to become a bit mangled-looking (some buttons and their labels now overlap). I'll get to fixing this soon (people keep complaining ), but it all still *works*. At least, I think so.

for nuke missile fire as civilian and crashing my game, i'm not sure it's a new bug, maybe i never did this before, so i didn't know about it before.

A game.log for such a crash could be interesting. The recent changes are entirely lobby/ui side, so it's unlikely to be a recent bug, but let's have a look. There's no reason why that shouldn't work, and that sort of thing happens a lot in the campaign: this might be a problematic bug for coop (which is what I'm busy unbreaking at the moment).

What exactly happens when he tries to spawn a unit?

[Ithilis_Quo]

yes Keyser is right, i change mape, where isnt civilian and because on maps where i was testing before civilian was, So i was think that it is standard on every map. Ok my bad.

@keyser please post a new thread with logs for your problem with nukes.
