Breakage in Liberty: Civil Disobedience

[DoctorJ]

There are definite problems in the ending of this scenario. I've already posted in the campaign feedback forum about an issue i experienced previously, wherein killing the enemy leader gives no XP. However when i played it again i ran into a bug that prevented going on to the next scenario. After killing him, my soldiers disappeared one by one, reappearing again after being healed. At that point, Wesnoth put up an error requester:

Code: Select all

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

This is from the log file:

I sent the save file [taken just prior to the last attack] to my other computer, and got the exact same error. Use the villager at 12,9 to attack the leader.

There is an unnamed level-0 "ruffian" unit in your recall list; it is responsible for the breakage you experience. Do you remember how you got it? It may help to find the bug in the campaign (in the first scenario I guess).

As for your issue, just press alt+r to bring up the recall dialog box and discard the broken unit (your leader doesn't have to be on keep for discarding units). It will allow you to kill the boss without any error message.

You have a ruffian on your recall list which breaks the turning-peasants-into-outlaws code. I'll commit a fix to 1.7+svn but probably won't port to 1.6 since you must have gotten that ruffian via the debug mode anyway. If you get rid of it, everything seems to work fine (minus the XP issue).

Looks like silene beat me to it.

D'oh! I'd forgot about him. Let me apologize for raising an issue over something i did. And thank you both for the rapid response. BTW, do you plan a fix for the XP issue?

Actually it seems to already been fixed in 1.7, I've just never ported the fix to 1.6.
