Re: Bug Reports: MAR2010a
I have some more info on this bug. It only does not count you as having done the transition if you enter the transition zone. If you have someone else enter and activate the transition while you stay out, it counts you as having made the transition.
Edit: also Guildmaster is not able to join on fn

Re: Bug Reports: MAR2010a
It's not FN, it's the stackable item code (confirmed).
I could render him non-solid, as I do at the end tunnel, but I'm a little afraid the elevator would leave without him.

Think this is related to the changes to the way the character loads on the selection screen. Need to confirm I resolved it before I put a B patch out.J-M v2.5.5 said:
Seriously? He's 32 units wide - the elevator is 192 units square - Plus you can hop on his head... How is he blocking the whole thing? :\Keldorn said:

Meh, I need to manually add orc_arena and guildmaster entries again.
Re: Bug Reports: MAR2010a
When he's on the elevator, it will go up very slightly, and then go back down.
He won't move once he's on the elevator, so it's stuck.
Edit: You could just have him give the rewards after everything is clear up to the elevator, since there's nothing after that part anyway.

Re: Bug Reports: MAR2010a
Yeah, never had a problem getting him up there in SP tests - but meh, SP tests never equal MP tests.
Least of our worries though...
Time for an explanation of the chaos.
Those of you who can't load your characters at all, are suffering from the projectile stack feature... Easy enough to do away with... However, the transitions and odd character saving issues are the result of a more fundamental and frightening issue:
Anyone who's familiar with an FN archive should be able to see how f*cked up that is...
Everytime you touch a transition - it is corrupting your character slot data - resulting in this strange extension to the character save file name... Essentially, everyone playing right now has two character save files, one proper, and the other that manifests after touching a transition. This happens on or off FN.
I'm working on trying to figure out what this is. Nothing's changed with transitions... I've tried disabling some of the newer features, and the forced-save that occurs when transitions are touched, but to no avail (not too surprisingly as said "newer" features actually date back to before JAN2010.)
I'm going to try to figure out what this is, but if I fail to do so by the end of the day, I'm going to go back to JAN2010b. Either way, everyone's going to wind up being rolled back to before the patch (6am PST Mar 7th)... Since this extra character file with the wrong name comes up whenever you touch a transition, there's no getting back any new items you got anyways - especially any you may have gotten from The_Wall, as with many maps, you spawn inside a transition there.
It doesn't help that MiB isn't going to be available today, so I'm on my own in solving this mystery.
I should *probably* shut down FN while I work on this to reduce the confusion and frustration of lost XP/items. Dunno if anyone has any opinions on that.

Re: Bug Reports: MAR2010a
I agree on shutting down FN. People who aren't corrupted will be getting unfair advantages over those that are FUBAR'd. If they're gonna get rolled back, I doubt they'd want to play much anyway.
Edit: Also it'll stop people going "WOAMG MY CHARACTER EXPLODED" and the rollback forum can take a rest

Re: Bug Reports: MAR2010a
Well, everyone's getting rolled back, as everyone's corrupted in one way or another. Just some can play and some can't.
Shutting her down in prep for update though.
Not sure what caused it exactly, but it seems to be the result of the reduction of HP/MP update system we added... Shame, as that feature would have saved a lot of lag.
Good news is that it is salvagable though. Should have something before the day is out.

Re: Bug Reports: MAR2010a
Okay...
Here's something that'll get you up temporarily (in theory):
http://www.thothie.com/msc_dev3/MAR2010 ... L_Only.rar
Close your server, stick that in, and start her up again. It's the MS.DLL for the pending MAR2010b... You won't be able to connect to FN without at least that.
Stacks of arrows are going to read wrong on your client, because the client is still trying to stack arrows. However, it won't read back to your character, so it shouldn't corrupt ye. I'll need a client patch to restore the former consistancy there.
Meanwhile I'll work on a more all-encompasing solution, fixes for the_wall, and the like... Maybe a new map from Dridje as well.

Re: Bug Reports: MAR2010a
He just stands there, and if you try to interact with him, the menu just says that he's talking.
He won't even say "Aye" when you press e on him.

Nope, he doesn't say anything about the bleak.
He just stands there, and looks at it.

Re: Bug Reports: MAR2010a
No, he doesn't.
I've had him bug at the window twice. He does get into position, as if he's going to say something, but he just doesn't. Then he stands there and won't move any further.
He also neglected to mention the elevator twice, but both times, he did give a reward once we reached the top.
All of this was not on [FN] by the way.
And he appears to be less likely to bug when there's less people in-game...
Also:
Might want to add a func_monsterclip above the flooded storage basement.
And everytime I start gatecity, I am greeted by:

Edit: Only now do I see it:

Re: Bug Reports: MAR2010a
Bolt/Arrow stacking is really buggy atm, you can't swap ammo types or drop all of your ammo without reconnecting, as it unstacks your bolts/arrows and leaves invisible stacks in your quiver when you try to put them in your hands.
