[NKF] Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 There must be one alien left otherwise the mission would end. With 23 soldiers, spread them out across the base. Have some guard the corridors while some check the various base modules carefully. Sweep through it and block off the various areas after you've searched them. It's possible that there was one snakeman that may have been unconscious and has woken up behind all of your soldiers, so don't forget to search areas that you have already been to. Also while they don't normally go upstairs, you might want to check just in case. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMacker Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) Check every closet, every room. heck, check your inner base. There's a bug that the aliens might spawn inside your base if they lack spawn points. Though, it's rare to none if you have the starting base (3 hangars) Edited June 13, 2010 by MiniMacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I know it's there is that you can't move through the space it occupies. IIRC you could see it though a hole in the upstairs floor, but if it was outside you would need a hovertank, flying suit, or mind-controlled flying alien (or stand on another bale of hay? not sure). Maybe the game classifies its position as not exactly at level 0 nor level 1? I can't think of an equivalent for a bale of hay inside a base. Maybe it's halfway up a flight of stairs? You could try going up or down all the stairs. Is this bug described anywhere in the forums or an article? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[NKF] Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I don't think so but I've seen the bug you've mentioned. I think one other place it happens is on stairs that have a west to east orientation. You can find some in X-Com bases. If the alien is standing at the base of the stairs its image is invisible. You can't walk into the tile it is in, but you can see the target centering box. I know it happens in TFTD as well. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the red "alien spotted" square or the yellow crosshairs, or both? Normally you can't see the crosshairs until a red box appears somewhere. IIRC, in the case of the snakeman on the bale of hay in the barn, I didn't see either until I looked through the hole in the ceiling. I can also vaguely remember (years ago) assaulting a cave in an alien base, where one alien was sitting on top of something and very difficult to see. That may have been a different phenomenon though. Maybe just a floater in an obscure corner. I can't remember if caves in alien bases have 2 levels sometimes??? I need to keep the save file when something weird happens so I can investigate later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
