First, I got the research proposal for the Ortnok autopsy, but I did not encounter any Ortnok yet. There is no Ortnok in my containment.

After this I noticed, when I try to transfer aliens they change names in the transfer list, e.g. if I try to transfer a Sheevar, it appears as a Taman in the transfer list.

There were additional alien types introduced in commit 8ac104d701330248de9501c6345ad96dab62f4af which might be causing this. Not sure about this, though.

It was a problem caused by the order in which the alien races are defined in team_aliens.ufo. The game must be expecting the old order (ie - assuming Ortnoks are the second defined race, Shevaar are the third defined race). I have fixed it in commit 3037be5a0066920eac422e9be08f98549cdd9eee.

Should this still be considered a bug, or turned into a FR or something? I figure geever is best placed to make this call. I'll close this for now.

Reopening this, as the problem is still there.

ShipIt, can you clarify what problem remains and maybe attach the save if it is different from the one here? When I tested your save before with my fix, I wasn't able to notice any errors.

Sorry, didn´t get a notification about your reply.

In my game, both the Transfer and the Alien Containment window are still buggy.

Savegame.

The bases in North America and the HQ both have an Alien Containment.

I think your save is just broken because you acquired aliens before the second fix was applied, ShipIt. Sorry about that. Probably the best thing to do is just to wait until you see Ortnoks before researching them.

I've just run through a pretty extensive test using automission and adjusting the alien interest level up gradually to collect all the aliens, and I haven't been able to reproduce any problems. Multiple Taman entries still exist, but nothing appears before it should. In the transfer, containment and research windows everything "links" to the right thing. When I make transfers, the right aliens show up in the to-be-transferred window and, after transfering, the target base.

I'm closing the bug because I consider it "fixed", but those saves that collected aliens after the multiple tamans were added but before the script-order fix was applied will still have errors like yours. Sorry, again.
