EI Bug: Gweddry Becomes Orcish Crossbowman Permanently

[Gweddeoran]

In Eastern invasion, during "Captured ", Gweddry randomly becomes an Orcish Crossbowman on turn 87 and when he escapes the tunnel, it results in defeat. I debugged and skipped the level, but Gweddry permanently looks like an Orcish Crossbowman. please help. Even after advancing to Grand Marshal in battle, he remains as an Orcish Crossbowman in looks but with attacks of GM.

If the problem is carrying on for long, the code causing it must be in the save file. It might be a good idea to upload it here so that somebody could check it out.

I'm pretty sure I know what happened in Captured, but I have no idea whatsoever how you managed to accomplish it. How/why did you get to turn 87? Did you use planning mode? How did you release the prisoners? What units did you start with?

A replay would be most interesting. As would the details of what version you're playing on, whether you used saves from a previous version, etc.

Thanks for quick replies! I will post a reply soon when I gain access to my comp. Instead of disguising a rescue unit when reaching a cell, only dialogue occurs and no disguise happens. At turn 87 after freeing all prisoners, Dra Nak is almost dead and Gweddry randomly repeats the north cell dialogue and turns into orc. When i escape with him after killing the orc king,it results in defeat. So I debugged and skipped to evacuation, hoping that Gweddry would be normal but with no such luck. Version 1.12.1 Easy difficulty. I reached turn 87 as I kept on healing while staying still after luring an orc guard when there was no turn limit. I did not use planning mode.

Nevermind, I presume you're playing on easy. There was a bug which basically broke the scenario by not triggering the disguised-as-orc event on easy... and I forgot that the fix didn't make it into 1.12.4, so it'll only be in the upcoming 1.12.5 release.

If you want to replay Captured, you can post a savefile from any turn before you run into the trolls and I can fix it for you so that the scenario plays as it should. Or, if you just want to continue from Evacuation, you can post any savefile from it and I can fix it so that Gweddry turns normal again.

Unfortunately, for some reason, my recent saves are seen and loaded in the wesnoth.exe but are not visible in the userdata. Is there a solution? Thanks for your help.

[zookeeper]

You should be able to find them through the in-game preferences -> general -> paths button.

[Gweddeoran]

I did just that but the saves are not being updated in the userdata/saves directory for quite some time.

[zookeeper]

Well, they have to be in some of the locations mentioned here.

[Gweddeoran]

Thanks. Found it in Virtual Store.

[zookeeper]

All right, this should do it.

[Gweddeoran]

Thanks it works.
