Evolutions 1.28 patched SP mission problem

Hi, I have Unofficial patch 1.4 advanced, Evolutions 1.28 patched, and RealSpace Lite 1.0 installed, and I am having a problem on a mission where I am rescuing a station with a cruiser group vs reinland gunships and fighters and bombers. Problem is that when I don't die, and we kill all enemies, the music doesn't change, and I keep hearing voices say stuff about combat, and yet there are no enemies left!!! What is going on?


EDIT:
I survived for the 2nd time (usually, either Montana is destroyed and the mission is lost, or I die and the mission is lost) and this time the contacts box on the bottom left shows 2 reinland navy figthers still remaining, but on the main screen, they do not appear, also if I click on them in the box on the bottom left of the screen, and say go-to, I just go straight in whichever direction my ship is pointing. And if they are selected for some time, everythign dissapears off the list on the bottom left.. temporarily. The "ghost contacts" do not move, and I am pretty sure they actually died in battle..

Ack Nutts, thats a small bug to do with them not decloaking again They re-cloak during battles

Fraid all you can do is keep repeating the mission until it goes right. It may help if you make yourself invulnerable or something [V - do that in your perfoptions.ini file:
my documents\my games\freelancer\perfoptions.ini

DIFFICULTY_SCALE = 1.00

make that line = 0.00 instead (invun if I remember right) and try again - but do the mission slowly....if you go to fast in killing everything - the trigger does not occur - hence the music plays without completing the mission - you just sit there isntead...

Well, I did it a number of times over and over, and when the main cruiser survives, there is alwasy at least one cloaked dude left...

Is there a way to force them to decoak again?

Also, I read this post of yours and was wondering if what you talk about in this I snippet could be used perhapse?

"This is the reason in explanation as to why SP cloaking doesn't work, but how it does work in MP!............its cause it is all running off of your files, so when you can cloak, it means that you can also see cloakers.

However, in SP - everything runs off of your files too - Unfortunately it then means that the computer controlled NPC's can also see the cloak. You see, you don' need the gun at all to see cloaked things, just a small amount of editing makes that possible - "

Is there a way to temporarily cloak/see the cloaked ships for the duration of the mission without messing up the rest of the gameplay? Or will that screw up the game?

There has got to be some way to fix the bug

Ok, well finally beat it, I guess some ships have that thing and some do not, so I just started going after the guys that I noticed could cloak, and kill em off.. heh..
eventually managed to kill everyone *phew* only 1 week for 1 mission

Very sorry, should have been paying more attention - I could have tried to sort it out with a little bit of a work around

Glad to hear your past the mission though

Hi, I seem to have found another bug.

Quick description: New London system, Battleship Sufolk: When I buy a Paladin, it buys me a Crusader.

Full description of the even:
I was looking to buy a new ship, and so I was flying to different systems and looking at what they had to offer, and I found a Paladin and Crusader for sale on Battleship Suffok. The picture for the Paladin in the box was blank, but all the data appeared, and when you would click on it, it would show the icture in the middle of the screen. Both ships required level 8, even though Crusader was only 121k and Paladin was 1.7million. So I slaved away at missions till I got my 1.8 Mil, went back to buy the Paladin (by this time Liberty Police became white instad of green, because all the artifact crap went down in Manhatan, etc). So I go back to buy it, and I can't buy Crusader, says I need to be on friendlier terms, but the option for paladin was still open, so I click to buy it, but in the screen where I get to change loaduout and stuff, it shows me the Crusader! Tried it again, same effect...

Workaround: IMproved standing with Breton Armed Forces by doing couple missions, went back, and Crusader was now available as well, and Paladin bought a Paladin.

But actually it makes the game way easier, I wonder if maybe it should have a higher level requirement, since a bunch of fighters that are inferior to it have a much higher level requirement...

Thanks for the continuing feedback. We have found this problem out, but cannot account for it. For some reason it only occurs in SP or Open SP. As for levels of buying stuff etc, we have done some work on this
