Episode 1 : level 2 : piece of cake : one enemy left

[yugiohjcj]

Hello,

I have completed all the levels for the episode 1.
All enemies are killed and all secrets are found (thanks for the walkthrough).

Just a problem in level 2 : 1 enemy left!

Is it a bug?

Thank you.

Yeah, we were just on about this at Duke4.net here.

There is an unused spawner in the level (I think it's because a red babe has the wrong tag - if you know what I'm on about) so the only way you would be able to kill that enemy would be to edit the map and fix it, short of doing that you won't be able to kill it.

Same here, also seen it mentioned in that topic on duke4.net.

After reading this thread I've decided to quickly check it in the map. When you get to the room with the blue access card, there's a sector with a touchplate sprite near the window. According to the relevant tags, when you stand on the floor in that sector, this touchplate is supposed to spawn a recon car. Apparently, it's 'spawned' in the way of adding an addition monster to the total monsters count, but it isn't proper so you'd always have at least one missed.
The solution to this is simply avoiding from standing on that floor. If you do stand, a few liztroops would be spawned, which can be used as a sign for that.

Yea, I always said wtf even when I jet above the ramp to the nuke there is what should be called a secret place where you blow up 2 turrets and find some ammo. But always 1 enemy left. Now I know why, thanks for the answer to a 13 yr old question in my mind that I never asked!

Thank you for the answer ;-)

I found how to complete the level with all enemies killed : when you try to get the blue access card, you mustn't use the elevator. You must use a jetpack and enter in the room by the window :-)

NY00123 pretty much said that in his post.

When RECON spawns, it is not assigned a size, so it stays at size 0 and then gets deleted from the map. I consider this a bug in the game, so I fixed it for my mods. If you play maps with either DukePlus or Attrition, spawned recons work (so do respawned eggs) and you can get all the kills.
