numart!=1 in this savegame. That is, the game thinks that the artifact wasn't recovered. The presence of heavy cannon proves the opposite though.

All previous checks in wonYetEvnt are passed successfully though.

Well, in fact, numart==2 in this game (two artifacts were picked up??).

How about we just change "numart # numart + 1;" to "numart 1;" and "if (numart==1)" to "if (numart>=1)"?

Of course it's still interesting to investigate why the pickup event was triggered twice.

The artifact in that stage can be picked up by both the player and the AI, and if picked up by the AI, it is dropped when the units that recovered it are destroyed. See cam1-7.slo, line 852-872.That way, the pickup event can be called multiple times. I think the simplest way to solve it would be just to change numart=numart+1 to numart=1, as it should be enough to avoid the problem.

I'll test it and see how it works.

I still don't see how exactly a player can pick the artifact up twice. The pickup event is defined as

trigger art1TakeTrig(droidInRange(player, art1X, art1Y, 171), 10);

which makes sure only a human (aka "player") can pick it up, and once human picks it up, it is no longer dropped; and when the AI picks it up again, it doesn't trigger the event.

This is the way to finish the level. I hate cheats but I think it's the only way to finish this mission. So you can turn it on and turn it of when you are through.

To turn on cheat mode in Warzone 2100 (I use Ubuntu) press Shift+Backspace. There are different keys to press to do some cheats but I will only speak of the one relevant for finishing this stage.

Press Y for Demo mode. This will keep changing the player you control from the your own to the enemies and to the scavengers. When in control of the main enemy, press alt and click on the main enemy units which you are now in control of to destroy it. With this make sure you destroy all enemy construction trucks as well as all the structures in the place where the enemy transport will land. When that is done use Ctrl+A to select all your enemy units and direct them to come out to where you can finish them off without having to go close to where the transport escapes from. The moment you are through with destroying all enemy units you will be told “Return to LZ”

In order to control enemy units more comfortably without being interrupted by the continual changing from one player to the other, when in control of your enemy units save the game, quit the mission and reload it. You will now be in permanent control of the enemy units so that you can destroy all the structures and construction trucks and bring out all the enemy units. You can then return to demo mode and when it returns to your own player, save, exit and reload again, then you can finish off the units.

Do make sure that you give your own units a big task to be doing like making them patrol right through all the enemy bases that will keep them fighting while you use your enemy to destroy themselves because the time you have to do the mission is quite limited.

Enjoy!

Probably apply the dirty fix mentioned in comment 3?
Since we're rewriting it all anyway.

Need to know if these issues still happen with the release of 3.1.0.

Erm, whoops, this got caught in the batch modification, but, as was mentioned in comment:8 this is going to be rewritten anyway... and, AFAIK, this is still the same code as the original, and it did work the last time I played it...
Not sure about that fix, nor am I sure if there is going to be another release before the JS rewrite. Hmm.
