Advanced Combat Mission Text

Mar 12, 2008 Killdog Deathwad link
Before I begin, I have a feeling that this may be an old bug and may therefore be already known. However, I searched the bug forums and didn't find a report so maybe it isn't. If it's known, please disregard.

I've noticed that there is a problem with the text displayed in the HUD when you kill a bot and have the Advanced Combat Mission active. It displays the text that you are supposed to see (ie. notification of a kill plus what was killed, who killed it and how many kills are remaining until the next combat point award), however it also includes text that looks like control tags and other things that are supposed to be picked up as interface items instead of being displayed as text (eg. the text <button> is written at the end).

I am yet to do any proper testing (it was getting late when it happened), but the following are the parameters that it occurred under. It may happen under other circumstances, it fact, it probably happens every time a kill is made regardless of the other parameters, however I can't be sure.

At the time the bug was observed:

- I was grouped, but not the group leader (group leader had taken the adv. combat mission)
- Another group member made a kill (in this case it was a Fennus R-18 Guardian)
- It occurred whether or not I was in the same sector as the person who made the kill.

It's only a minor bug, it doesn't have much impact on gameplay but I figured it was worth reporting.
