This is just for any bugs you may encounter.

The bugs I have found are for Laser and Tank

Laser Ion Overcharge does not work with power bought and 1000K+ Power.
Laser Raptors dont directly target sometimes they go dumb and circle before shooting.

Then there is Tank

Hive AA Shoots but never hits or always misses take your pick.
The LRM launcher likes to screw around alot and doesnt shoot.

These bugs specifically the Hive bug cripple the general.

The overcharge is noted and will be fixed in a patch very soon.

The Rator issue is true of any jet. I've seen it happen with even standard stealth planes. I don't think theres much I can do about it, it seams to be just a weak spot int he unit-AI. thats part of the eninge btw.

I've played alot and never had the AA problem your talking about. If you fire on a friendly aircraft that will hapen, but it works fine on enemy planes. Its especialy great against bombers and drop planes.

The LRM Launcher I've had do that just a few times. I'm not sure what causes it, but its a rarity. I usaly works fine for me.

I certainly wouldn't call Tank crippled. I whupped Guy and Violence earlier today using Tank. Its mostly just a matter of playstyle.

[Thats me!]

i have found some bugs
1)robot ai doesn't work
2)cameos in building time are wrong for new upgrades (plasma upgrade,etc...)

[oops2005]

Two little bug:
1. Flame Gen: command center doesn't have mine upgrade
2. Cyber Gen: you choose Repair in rank 1, but it doesn't show in the right shortcut.

I just played for a short time , hmmm.... fantastic mod, its playstyle make me think about Warhammer 40K: DC...hahaha
I will post again when I find new bugs.

PS: the cameo of new upgrade when upgrading aren't right and the new units don't have new voice...
But it is OK, cause add new cameo and new sound need so much work
And Cyber AI really crazy ,when as an "hard" ally,he builds so many buildings and always has his half of base built in my base. That's somehow annoying.

"I certainly wouldn't call Tank crippled. I whupped Guy and Violence earlier today using Tank. It's mostly just a matter of playstyle."

- I will allow you to claim you have whooped me when you beat me 1 on 1 when I have Toxin GLA- my regular army! Flame China is awesome but just not my style! Baaaad Pend! Bad! Rude! This is why you have disabled GLA and I know it..! Great game, very funky!


Anyhow, here's what I've found.


- Power Plants do not dissappear after being destroyed for all USA.

- LRM Launcher of Tank Gen will sometimes not fire when it uses its blue targetting laser because under some circumstances the laser has longer range.

- Correct a minor typo in Air Force General, it's "Special Airfield" and not "Special airfield" for uniformity's sake.

- Ion Overcharge has been mentioned.

- Infantry General's Artillery Mark Jet will sometimes "forget" to fire the artillery shells and just ECM the area, when targetting defenses.

- AI Tech Lab of Robot USA has some very bad "fan" texture(talking about the rotating vent fans) on the roof-top which is annoying once you notice it even from max zoom distance. The Command Center has better fans, use those.

- The Advanced Power Plants(the big ones) for Super Weapon cause some minor lag when you have more than 1-2 exploding at the same time due to the effect. This is almost insignificant until you fire a SW on 4-5 of them... then you temporarily go slow-mo until the effect is over.. ;(


And a suggestion:


- I still feel the Battle Fortress needs immunity to Sniper, EMP, ECM, Neutron effects. It's after all tons and tons of armour and shielding and the only real means of late-game Infantry assaults, otherwise might as well name him China Air. Also think what the Infa player goes through to produce 6 fully manned Fortresses. Too much micromanagement lost to so many dangers.

PS : Did you put in the damaged skins for Heavy Factories and such?

Hey, I'm also facing the same problem as sarah. I have placed Remix.big in Data, Skirmishscripts in scripts and csf in English. Yet, I do not seem to see any Remix 3 units, buildings and such. The shell map is the one used in Contra 005. Is there something that needs to be removed? Thanks in advance.

1 thing to all of you...ffs dont go on about cameos and pictures not matching.
who gives a fuck? it is because pend has put so many new ugrades/powers wtc hes run out of buttons. so just live with it.

With China Infantry general - I noticed the 1st level tech building has, I believe, 4 different upgrades. I built the second level building, the one that looks like it is multiple pagodas with 3/4 levels. For some reason, the upgrades were exactly the same ones. I checked and re-checked, selecting each building. I thought it was because I did a trick: Had the advanced dozer 'start' the building, then move that and have a regular dozer actually finish building it. But, for good measure, I built a second one using only the advanced dozer with same results. I thought it was a bug, but the second game with infantry, I tried it again and suddenly I had access to 4 different upgrades. Weird. I had not made any installation changes to my computer, either.

I also only have Contra installed, no other mods.

It might be connected to the mine field upgrades... I'll double check this.

Build a power plant with any US faction. Let your opponent destroy it.

It will still be there but you cannot select it, and cannot build directly over it, neither is it actually functioning.

This has two effects : that you get confused thinking they still work, and that you can't build right away. You have to find the blank spot, place the new building and THEN the "killed" plant will dissappear.

I played lastnight with SupW general vs Laser general (Capt Picard) and I didn't see this happen at all. I've also played vs Robot many times and lost all my buildings (as any USA) and destroyed all his(many times) and never seen this bug.

[Locutus of Borg]

I have noticed it from time to time but I cannot recall it effecting gameplay or bothering me. Hence, I do not recall which general has this problem.

During load the image will show "contra v5" logo because when contra installed it over wrote the image file that is used during load. So basicly if your looking at this and thinking it did not install then your no doubt find it is running fine only the load screen has confused you.... this is what happens when peaple don't back up there files

Aslonf as u uninstalled contra v5 put the remix files where they ment to be then it should work fine ok? if u still have a problem then PM me or pendealose or any other tester witch u may know about... altho i may be sarcastic ahole if it turns out to be a very simple problem that an fool could have worked out.

But hey thats how i am... u learn to love and hate me all at the same time. (because i am a jerk or otherwise known as a jerk(on the forums that is))

[Ubermedic]

Make sure Contra 005 is UNINSTALLED.
Remix is a seperate mod.
Also. All these bugs should be in the main bug list.
