DEC2007a Bug Reports

[Thothie]

Looks right to me. :\ There was a problem with it in OCT2007a I believe, but it looks fixed in DEC2007a.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Moar typos: Failure message in old_helena states that all the 'civlains' have been slain.

Chieftain, check.
'civlains' I can find no occurrences of. (Not even in titles.txt)

Tentadrilus actually made a typo describing the typo. It's "civlians" and not "civlains" and it can be found in the entity table of Old Helena:

{
"origin" "312 32 280"
"message" "Mission Fail - All key civlians have been slain!"
"targetname" "txt_fail"
"spawnflags" "1"
"classname" "game_text"
}

Could you please add this to your map updates list?
I also found another typo related to potion effects of bandit bosses ending (something like "Effect endeded") but because I'm a huge dumbass I forgot to write it down.

All of the ice mages aren't unique. ('A Ice Mage <wtfname>')

I think they lose their unique names once they go into battle. (I recall trying to rig something to prevent that, but it no workie)

When I was fighting them today, I still saw that I was being attacked by "Ice Mage Phrezax" and whatever the others are called. In fact, I never saw them with 'generic' names.

I smell a new sig.

Check out Ceriux' new sig

What about the script for b_castle?

Am I on crack or is it actually bugged?

A certain b_castle run today with eight people gave us nothing, not even an artifact chest. Shuriken was in-game and used his L337 developer hacks to communicate with the chest, and the chest said that it counted all eight of us.

 

[Thothie]

Have Shuriken look at the script, maybe a fresh pair of eyes would help.

 

[Belmont]

Btw, my PM is not getting to you and this might be quite an exploit if it's re-doable...

 

[Shurik3n]

I did look at the script... and it looks fine...

I did a debug check for SHIELD_OR, and I got 0... so it seems it never calls add_quality_items - or at least doesn't get that far, all the items where from the earlier part of the script. It was giving me 8 players, and not all 8 had 500 hp.

Like I said, the script looks fine, and it was working back when the map was released so I don't know what could have happened.

 

[Thothie]

SHIELD_OR is local to the event, so I don't think you'd be able to pull it - but if the TC_NPLAYERS count was right, I r confuzored..

add_quality_items is called in items/base_treasurechest

 

[Shurik3n]

Yeah, I saw that... still it seems to crap out in that function, or maybe I'm not understanding this script as well as I think I do.

 

[Thothie]

It could be, but it has no way of passing add_quality_items and still giving you the chest's inventory:

	setvard CHEST_TARGET PARAM1
	if ( !ADDED_QUALITY )
	{
		setvard ADDED_QUALITY 1
		callevent add_quality_items CHEST_TARGET //these require attributes
	}
	callevent 0.1 offer_goodies //split second delay to make sure store propigates
}

{ offer_goodies
	offerstore STORENAME CHEST_TARGET inv trade
	callevent	chest_used
}

So I've no idear. Granted, I've no idear why chests lock-up sometimes either, I just have that little hack to fix it there. It maybe some hard-code error causing it to exit the function prematurely.

I'll move the add_quality_items check to before the loreldian ore check, but really, if it was buggering out there, you'd never see the chest inventory at all. :\

PS. Ever get the feeling yer going blind squinting at code because some ass grabbed a darksword and didn't tell anyone?

After old_helena I tried to buy some bolts from dorfgan and it closed the store menu, I reopened it and his store had reverted (or so it seems) to the pre-raid store. This destroyed the loot that he had .

On a related note, I'm unable to buy bolts from store it seems. I'm willing to bet the first bug is stemming off of this one, not something wrong with dorfgan's script.

[The Man In Black]

What server were you on?

 

[2lt. Walter]

First Thothies now Syfers listenserver.

 

[Thothie]

Working on a fix for that now.

edit:
I r thinking the skill-based damage attacks can't be called in stacks like it is in that particular spell. The only alternative results in slight nerfage of the spell's scan rate, so I shall raise the damage to compensate (damage is not normally the spell's primary purpose in anycase).

Hrmm... I can buy bolts off him fine... No clue what would cause that. :/

 

[replica]

with the northmaul, if you're using the spiky end against something thats resistant to ice, a regular attack does proper damage but a charged attack still does weak damage.

 

[Shurik3n]

I think that was reported and fixed, were you on the beta server?

 

[HumanSteak]

Ice circle still gives sword exp (should have mentionned before, it ever did)

 

[Thothie]

Think I opted for that, to keep it on par with the Nova, where you just have the one ability that hands out fire xp, while the rest go to sword.
