Computer player refuses to mine when low on gold

[mefistotelis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 612

When a computer player has a prison, it stops giving the imps jobs. To clearly see the
behavior load level 5 from the new game+ campaign in r1823: https://keeperklan.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=107

This level is the same as the original level 5, except for the fact that blue has a
prison from the start.

Load the level, use cheat mode to observe blue and notice that it partially builds
the first room and than stops everything.

For comparison see level 5 of original campaign (with regular script or the level script
from New game+) to see blue mines gold, digs rooms, places slabs.

The level used to work just fine in 0.4.5.

r1680 - works fine
r1757 - bugged
r1701 - bugged
r1686 - works fine
r1694 - bugged
r1691 - bugged

-> Problem introduced between r1686 and r1691.
Quite strange if I look at the change list.

Can you remind me how to enter observe mode through cheats? Would be very useful to
me

I tried to replace the prison with other rooms, and this causes the AI to bug out in
other ways. If I made the room empty it would function properly, but if I replaced
the prison with a graveyard the CP would stop using walls instead.

Updated map and screenshot from r1850 attached.

A message on the keeperklan chatbox gave me the solution: The bug is related to how
much gold the CP has. When low on gold the CP will not direct creatures to mine gold,
and as such will freeze up completely.

To reproduce load map 5 from the New Game+ campaign of map 7 from Ancient Keeper campaign.
When you edit the level.txt to give the blue player gold will he will behave normally:
START_MONEY(PLAYER1,10000)

The third level of the jdkmaps8 campaign (205, Key of victory) has two keepers. Because of this bug, neither of them do anything.

This bug is also present in the stable branch(r1745 patch, git ab7381b). I ran into it on this map.

There was a sign issue. Should be fixed in c9cbbd5.

[Loobinex]

Confirmed fixed in KeeperFX v0.4.6 r1749 patch, git c9cbbd5, dated 2015-11-11 20:44:02
