[0.9.9.4 winxp] scout doesn't see stairs on angel of red alert
« on: September 01, 2011, 23:34 »
Not sure if it is intended but I recently played a couple of games as the scout class on angel of red alert challenge and I never know where the stairs are like I would playing any other game as a scout.

Working as intended. Also true of Angel of Pacifism, I believe.

Intended - would make AoRA too easy.

It's even hinted in the challenge description - "Warning, the areas can't be scouted!".

However, the Scout also can't hack tracing data into computer maps on AoRA, either. Is this also intended? It's not really implied by the description. Seems like it just had all its special abilities taken away or something.

Aren't Techs the one who have the ability to hack tracking data?

That on the other hand would be a bug then I guess.

Scouts don't do that in any mode, that's Technicians.


EDIT: There is one apparent bug related to this, however - Computer Maps don't show the stairs, at least on Angel of Darkness. Not sure if intended.

I've found this to be the case in Angel of Darkness, Angel of Pacifism, as well as Angel of Red Alert.  The stairs will never show unless you're looking right at them, no matter what.

The scout's stair sense is not intended to work on Red Alert, Darkness, and Pacifism.  You can still see the stairs as would any other class after exploring them normally.

Computer maps don't show any map tiles on Angel of Darkness including stairs. This is intended. They still show items, so they aren't completely useless.

Hacking maps for tracking data is indeed a feature of technicians, not scouts. If there is a problem with this feature, please bring it up in its own thread.
