All right, Dreamsicle: I ran your save file and it did not crash on my game. Either you are using an outdated version or (more likely) this is the bug that I told you about. Try ending the month yourself again and see what happens. I did discover some other minor bugs, though.

Thank you again, IsaacG. Also I note that your executable is version 1.01, which crashes when you try to do secret missions. Version 1.02 fixes this.

^.^ glad to be of service.
Fresh off the presses, Terra Vitae 1.02 for Windows.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/d21xatup4b0u0y7/Terravitae+1.02+Windows.zip

(or if you want just the .exe)

This recompiling was way easier than before.
It's crazy how much I learned about c++ the past few months.

Using this version I'm getting a bug where I can't continue to the next day due to a siege at the TV house (Vivian Pines's house) even though I have no people or sleeper agents there.

Actually, I double checked, and it turns out I have a sleeper there, a janitor who was recruited as somebodies spouse. I still have no way to continue to the next day, even knowing this.

First things first:

I was about to ask you that, since this is a known bug. I am working on fixing it now.

Save your game file. I should be able to fix the bug without making the saves incompatible, so you won't lose your game.

i hope i posted this right and that i diddnt goof up some how and made a new thread  insted but the tv house has bed bugs entering that tile crashes the game

I'm not sure I understand your bug, although it sounds like it might be one that I fixed already. Which version are you using? And can you send me your save file?

Shouldn't Western influe on Amerindian rights?

Yes, definitely!

[esran]

Other bugs in Windows version:
Game still crashes on TV house bed tile.
When I send people on Secret Missions, they continue to plan missions while gone and aren't removed from squads.
The day after exposing the NEC, game consistently crashes with no message.

Do Mutants benefit from Superhero Costumes?  And do they ever graduate into Superheroes/Supervillains?

Currently testing to see if Squad Training Urban Warfare confers Superpowers (guessing no, but we'll see)
EDIT: Confirmed that you can't learn Superpowers via instruction in Urban Warfare.

Fun fact: My mutant with superpowers just fought off two death squad members trying to accost them when soliciting donations (granted, this mutant is a mass murder, but hey, those deaths were "necessary for the liberal good").  And we just got sieged the next day, guess the cops took it seriously...

BUG: Game crashes when going to Rural America in National LCS mode.

[SlatersQuest]

Thanks for the reports - I am surprised, as I had thought that I had fixed the Rural America bug.

Mutants do not "graduate". However, mutants with superpowers do qualify as superheroes/supercriminals already as far as soliciting donations while wearing a costume goes, so I see no reason why they need to graduate for this.

There is currently no way to gain superpowers except through having it and training with it. The reason it works this way is because superheroes in comic books are almost always either born super or become super through some kind of accident or procedure; it's not a skill that they learn. Once they have powers, they can get better at using them, which is why the game treats it as a skill, but you can't learn to use something that you don't have.

I am willing to consider story events that may cause your characters to acquire superpowers, though (some secret missions might qualify, for example, such as the one about Amerindian relics).

One feature that the newest release of LCS has, but your mod lacks, is the ability to augment liberals, with a chance of permanently disfiguring/killing them.

Ported over to your mod, this could give the option to give liberals superpowers!
(but again, with the risk of permanent disfigurement/death, reminds me of the "experimental surgery" event in Adam Ryland's Comicbook Hero game for Grey Dog Studios)

I have found and fixed the bug that prevents ending the day when you have a besieged location containing sleepers. This bug would have affected any location that has sleepers and that can be besieged (including apartment complexes), which means that it's a bug in vanilla LCS as well.

I have also fixed the bug that causes agents to remain in squads, etc. while on secret missions. I have not yet found the bug that causes the game to crash once the NEC is exposed, but am working on that.

Unfortunately, I am traveling at the moment, and my internet connection here is terrible, so I will not be able to upload the fixed version until next weekend.

Wow, I wasn't aware that things like that were being done to the current LCS! We need someone to synchronize the versions as Liberal Elitist did. Can somebody point me to the code where this is done so that I can incorporate it?

Github version has augmentations. Also, what the heck happened to Liberal Elitist, anyways? He seems to have dropped off the face of the earth without a single trace of him just like Jonathan S. Fox did.

I've got a fork of that.  Still in the process of refactoring.  I'm dragging LCS into the 21st century kicking and screaming with test driven development, and maybe even object oriented programming.

Probably won't be fast, but I'm reading three books on the topic.  Dealing with legacy code is a common problem in software engineering, evidently.

In the windows version I'm getting tons of gang, mob, and terra vitae raiders who are liberal or moderate, the raids go on forever because I can't fight them.

Shouldn't they disappear when you talk to them?

That's sort of the problem. In order to fight off a raid you have to kill enough attackers, and you can't purposely attack liberals or moderates.

Bug fixed.

I've identified that something is wrong when trying to encounter the Terra Vitae leader. I will release version 1.03 when I find that.

[Innsmothe]

Wow, glad I get to see that you managed to spit in your doubters faces.

[SlatersQuest]

All right; I am having some issues here. I cannot reliably replicat ehe bug that causes the game to crash in Vivian Pines' bed. Sometimes I get it, and sometimes I don't. This makes it a pain to debug...
