Maybe Fletcher managed to inch forward and his toes got a wee bit toasty? A few times I've had AI manage to work their way forward and end up standing in the middle of fires and burn to death. Once this happened in Trail of Blood when I was ghosting, one ape stepped on the fire, burned to death, causing a nearby ape to search for me, stop on the fire . . . so on, so forth.
Definitely a nice little mission, I like muchly! :thumb::thumb: I still haven't recovered fully from lack of sleep over the weekend so I haven't totally finished the mission yet, but I shall.

Hummm....'ol Fletch should never get closer than ~4 drom units to the fire. But he is on random patrol covering 5 points about the room. Oh well. They don't call DromEd a buggy 'ol girl for nothing. :weird:
:sly:

No kidding. The original ape who set his toes on fire was just standing completely still in front of a fire. How the hell he got that far forward is beyond me. Another one I've never been able to figure out is apes burning to death when the fire they were standing around has already been put out. Ah, the twisted wonders of DromEd. :weird:

It's happened again - new download, installed a different T2 FM, then installed the new zip, got the weapons and went straight there. I've emailed a screen dump to you. :confused:
SlyFoxx on 27/5/2004 at 11:52
Got the dump. That's him....and he looks dead. Maybe you're such a bad ass thief he knew you were 'a commin' after him and took his own life. :cheeky:
I'd like (well not "like" but you know what I mean) to hear more reports of this problem before considering a change. Jason and the other host have enough to do already.
Do you Drom? If so, nix the fire and stick a torch in his room and zip it back up. That ought to solve the problem.

That's very strange, as in all the times I've played this mission I've never seen him go too close to the fire, much less into it. Weird!
TheNightTerror on 27/5/2004 at 12:31
:wot: You mean I was right, he was actually IN the fire??? :wot: If so, I must quote Sly from another mission: "This is just TOO weird." :erm:
SlyFoxx on 27/5/2004 at 12:44
The pic showed him face down floating about 16 inches off the floor with his feet almost in the fire place. :weird:
In Drom I placed him about 6 units from the fire place. It's almost like he's getting "dropped" into the mission face down and then dies because his feet are just close enough to the flame or something. This has got to be some kind of strange bug.
Any real Drom experts have an opinion?
TheNightTerror on 27/5/2004 at 12:54
Well, I'm about as far from a DromEd expert as you can get, but what about changing the starting point to inside the room, turn off AI awareness, then watching? Would that work? :erm: This is very disturbing.

If the mission unzips correctly, you con't have a corrupt download. You can open in winzip or something and run an integrity check just to make sure.
