Mission Bugs on new version 1.76.

[HUMPERS]

Hi all,

I need help as I have 2 problems concerning missions.

I have recently upgraded Oolite from 1.75.3 to 1.76. (latest version).

Following a jump to galactic chart 4 I have been hitting the missions hard and have 3 running at the same time.

However, 2 of these have problems:

Firstly, the mission whereby you have to take out Colonel Bodarenko at Isanla has been successfully completed my end. However, this mission is still showing that I need to take him out. Looking over previous posts of other combateers on these boards for a resolution, some did have the same problem but stated that eventually a news report came up and they then got follow up instructions and were able to complete this mission (I think it's executive spaceways mission). I have been across the galaxy 2-3 times waiting for a news flash or change in mission status but this hasn't occurred. It appears to have frozen or be in some kind of limbo.

Secondly, There is a mission involving Captain Curruthers and visiting his brother, (i think) at Teance. This, I believe, is the Love cats mission. I journey to Tiance but there is no sign of Felix Valrisian who is, apparently, at the milk palace!

There is a third mission currently running involving visiting Zskthak at esarqure station in the big bob bang burger bar! However, there was a message while on my to the planet at another space station asking me whether I'm a law abiding citizen or to hell with Gal cops! Of course my answer was 'a law abiding one' so I think this mission is in limbo as a result of my answer as the mission was about helping a fugitive!

The Nova mission hasn't appeared yet if that helps!

Any ideas?

Great game by the way that just gets better and better. My misspent youth (playing Elite on my beloved Amiga) has reappeared!

Regards,

Humpers.

Can you post the mission variables from your saved game? Open your saved game file in a text editor (NOT Windows Notepad!), and copy the bits between:

<key>mission_variables</key>

and

<key>passengers</key>

Paste them in here so we can have a look.

Hi,

A little bit more information for you.

The Colonel Bodarenko mission; I've revisited this again, killed the colonel, manually docked at the space station (it won't let me dock on computers due to now being a fugitive), came out the space station again and the colonel is there again as though nothing has happened. The mission keeps regenerating the Colonel everytime i come out the station at Isanla regardless of how many times he's been killed!

Any ideas guys?

I'm stuck!

Regards,

Humpers.

This is from the Trident Down OXP. I don't have this one, so I can't help. It might be worth reading through the messages in the Trident Down OXP thread, and maybe posting on it.

One thought, does his ship drop an escape capsule? If so you ought to destroy it too.
