Bug In The Eclipse Map

FlatlineUTD

<div class="IPBDescription">Unable to upgrade Factories</div> I was commanding a game on ns_eclipse earlier tonight, and while I was trying to siege the Computer Core Hive (the Southernmost one), whenever I placed a turret factory inside of one hallway, I was unable to upgrade it. I could select it, and recycle it, but the icon to upgrade wasn't even there. I've boxed the area in which this occured 3 times.

I ended up placing a factory in the corridor to the West of the Hive, and could upgrade it without trouble.

The bug didn't stop us from winning, but it did cause a massive delay.

I've run into this many times, mostly on Eclipse. I'm not sure what exactly is causing it, but it seems to happen more often when the Turret Factory is blending into a wall at any point <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> It also seems to be a Eclipse exclusive bug, I can't recall it happening on any other map.

A similar bug occurs in the Triad Generator in Eclipse. In certain areas of the triad if you put a turret factory down, then try to click to select it, it'll end up selecting something else in the room, usually a nearby turret.

This bug basically caused me to lose a game as I ended up having to place two more turret factories, and the third one finally allowed me to select and upgrade it. After a wait for resources and the factory upgrade, the area was jumped by the entire alien team as they finally caught wind of what we were doing (we already had one hive that they were trying to take back) they nailed our troops just after the siege came up that would hit the eclipse command.

OH i understand this frustration. I was once commanding and the TF just wont upgrade at the most crucial times...

But upgrade bugs happen in every map. In tanith some times u cant upgrade armory, or even TF... and it happens in other maps too (i just suggested tanith because I remember it quite clearly but I know that it happens in other maps too.)

It's happened to me as well.

There's another more serious command bug. Sometimes when you leave the CC and enter, you can't build anything! the command menu just flickers, and you can't select anything <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Rejoining the server is the only way to fix it.

Ah, I see you've encountered the new alien species, the mind-bug <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Through highvolt electricity waves from its brain, it sends out a shock so strong, it diffuses the nanos, thus complicating building-procedures =).

We keep it in a box, always near a hive, since its energy tends to go away the further away from the hive it gets. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->


RAWR!

I've noticed bugs in ns_hera I think, where you try to give people orders to move somewhere and It always says "Invalid order" I think that's because the mod thinks im clicking on the ceiling or something because if I keep trying it a bit further away it will work, but certain areas dont <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Tomten that thing you're talking about can be gotten rid of by clicking on a building if i recall correctly.

I have had the CC bug but the other ones I haven't. I did have a problem with turrets in ns_tanith, I dropped the factory in the middle of the marine starting base(where the floor is slightly lower) and then I went to drop turrets after it was build but they refused to be dropped.

OMG
I HATE THAT!

sorry
heh

Ya, it's really annoying. When i'm doing a good job of commanding and ppl on my team are liking me. They turn around and say "WTF!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T COMMAND ANYMORE!" I simply tell them I got bugged at the CC and somebody else has to take over =\

If you upgrade a turret factory and it finishes, it will say "advanced turret factory not completed" or something like that.

At least, that's what it did in the last few games I've been playing so far. I had to get people to "build" the tf after it was upgraded.

I fix that by dragging a blue selection box over a marine.. then I can command again. Don't ask why o_O

Misfire

i posted like 2 times about this problem and no one responded, if u click on a tf , it selects a turret, only way to click on the tf is to recycle the turret taht it selects. Or u upgrade TF before u place turrets.
