Re: Campaign: Eastern Invasion

Post by ramses66 »

I'm playing the Eastern Invasion campaign in Wesnoth 1.5.7 and am having problems on the "The Northern Outpost " scenario. When I send a unit into a village where there are bandits I get the following error message before it sends me back to the Wesnoth main menu..

"Error
The game could not be loaded: load_game_failed: Attempt to de-serialize a unit with no 'type' field (probably empty")

I had no problems when I visited an empty village, but have come across this message on the two other villages I have been to. (After the unit says something about there being bandits there.)


Edit: Oops. Just noticed the last post here is from the end of november. Guess maybe I should post it elsewhere.

Edit2: Thanks. I'll get the new scenario file.

That's been fixed already, it'll work right in 1.5.8. Check this thread if you want the fixed scenario file.

No need, this is the campaign's official thread, so this is exactly where bug reports about it should go.

The bandit spawnings worked now (except that I killed the leader 3 times, after the first time he appeared he also appeared in the 2 remaining bandit encounter)

Also, there appears to be no day-night cycle, at least the picture is gone (and I have no remaining enemies to test it with).

Lastly, the scenario doesn't seem to end now with the undead leader dead (by owaec's troops) and all the villages occupied. Maybe it doesn't register the bandit leader being dead? (since he kept popping up after I first killed him I mean)


Edit: To clarify, the bandit king was absent from bandit encounters 1 and 2 (as seems to be the point from my quick look at the scenario file), but was present in encounter number 3, 4 and 5.

I've fixed hopefully all the bugs in that scenario (and especially in my rewrite of it...) now, here's the most current scenario file. Overwrite the old, restart Wesnoth, restart the scenario from the beginning-of-scenario save.

Worked like a charm now! Day-night cycle and scenario ending and all.

Unfortunately Owaec killed the undead so quick so I couldn't properly harvest bandit xp (bandit king spawned in nr 3 encounter), my fault for playing on easy! :p


Edit: Btw, the day-night cycle seems to be absent in the Xenophobia scenario.

While playing this campaign on Easy, 1.5.9, I encountered a bug on scenario 3: An Unexpected Appearance. See picture. It didn't seem to affect the gameplay, since I nothing bad has happened yet. If it is of any use, I killed the adept on turn one.

Ah, that is because the recruitment pattern is scout,scout,fighter,figher,archer but the AI is limited to only one Vampire Bat recruit (scout usage) if the difficulty is anything besides hard. That results in the error you saw, and I am sure a developer will be able to catch and fix it.

It is not critical to the gameplay anyway. The scenario should still play just fine.

How do I get to Mal-Ravanal's capital? Do I need to kill the lich at the SE in Undead Border Patrol to get there?

I've played the Eastern Invasion with Wesnoth 1.8.0 and I've found a small bug in the "Captured" scenario. When I retrieved the units of the torture chamber, they were wounded, but after saving and reloading, they were "magically" healed.

Yeah, it's a known issue. It's not fixed yet in 1.8.1, but hopefully will be in the next release.

I'm playing this campaign on version 1.6.5, I'm on the Drowned Plains scenario and my recall list is gone. Note I didn't recall any high level units in Evacuation, just cannon fodder so my main characters could escape. So where did all my high level troops go? Has anyone else had this problem before?

Non-recalled units are lost too along with everyone left on the north shore.
