FEB2007b Bug Reports

[The Man In Black]

Went back to gatecity and it was working. He just didn't like me I guess :|

 

[FER]

I did skycastle moment ago (on youe server) and it keeps without spawning

 

[Netrogor]

@ MiB
To that thing where you don't get insta tele'd to jail... I had that happen to me too; it was shortly after one of the first few times I saw that brawler bug, and it'd kept attacking after being frozen

I was almost psyched & happy... figured maybe it had bugged & would somehow lemme get loot still after beating the map... and as I continued killing orcs, it finally tele'd me

thothie...maybe your anticheat is CaSe-SeNsItIvE?

because your votemap system always makes it vote as "Skycastle" ...i'd check this theory to make sure, but i'm writing a paper :\

Parry is at 29.. 100%... went thru the entire nightmare_thornlands and it didnt level up...thought it was worth mentioning, maby there is something i dont know?

 

[Netrogor]

@ Squirrel
He mentioned it was a spawn issue, not a votemap issue; sounds like he is successfully getting TO the map, but just can't spawn on it.
@ Windforce
Noob. You are all that makes noobs what they are, noobs. This parry bug dates back to last year February... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBB.

Sorry, didn't know how else to get my point across...

As to your parry, it is still leveling up, the XP display is merely bugged...

 

[The Man In Black]

Netrogor - Chests not spawning would have to do with case-senstivity, too.

i joined thothies recently to put my gold axe in the bank. when i did the guy didnt give me a ticket but he took my axe. then some strangeness happened.
screenshots: this is what it looked like right after i tried to put the axe in the bank and this is what it looked like after i redeemed my dark maul and took out two swords just because it looked funny. i was on deralia, and i wouldve put it in the [FN] section, but i doubt my char is backed up, and i dont really want a back up because the gold axe isnt that great anyways(although it does lvl divine ). just thought id let you know so perhaps you can test it.

 

[The Man In Black]

Characters are automatically backed up, though. Did you think that we each go to Thothie and say "It's midnight, I want my character backed up. NOW!"?

 

[replica]

the reason i said i doubt its backed up is because i dont know the times the back ups are automatically created. and if i did think people told thothie to create back ups for them why would i say "i doubt," seeing as how there would be no uncertainty.

 

[Thothie]

Oh... shit ><

Just realized, I made a ticket entry in the bank for golden axe... But I forgot to make an actual scriptfile for the ticket. >< x8

Grrr... Kinda annoying bit to send out another patch for... Right now I'd say:

DON'T BANK YOUR GOLDEN AXES

 

[Thothie]

thothie...maybe your anticheat is CaSe-SeNsItIvE?

Wouldn't explain why they spawn sometimes and not others. Kinda be nice to have a .toUpperCase() function in the scripts for crap like this to be sure though. ( maybe $ucase(var) ) They always spawn when I go through it though - they just like me or something.

Parry is at 29.. 100%... went thru the entire nightmare_thornlands and it didnt level up...thought it was worth mentioning, maby there is something i dont know?

Parry has a weird ramp, it very often gets locked at certain levels, and client <-> server disagreement can make it appear to be locked at 100%. In such cases it often is still counting up, but doesn't register it until after reconnect.

screenshots: this is what it looked like right after i tried to put the axe in the bank and this is what it looked like after i redeemed my dark maul and took out two swords just because it looked funny

If ye look at the old changelog, it mentions that the bank doesn't update your client's wearmodel proper, so it can do odd things to its appearance, temporarily.

i dont know the times the back ups are automatically created.

6pm and 6am CST. Not sure if that's in the FN FAQ or not, but probably should be.

yes it would....

if the chest is set to only spawn on the map "skycastle" and your server is running "Skycastle" ..see the problem there? i'll test this theory right after i finish this power point..

 

[Thothie]

I've seen the skycastle chests on my own server though. I've not changed the map name since..... Evah.

 

[evilsquirrel]

bleh, guess i wont be testing...anticheat catches me when i warp right there and my server crashes on lowlands.

 

[HumanSteak]

Damn...what to do if I lost my golden axe with that ticket thingie? Just spent 2 hours doing that quest and lost it like 5 minutes later :?

 

[Vomica7]

i can make a server after two tries.
but heres the kicker, after i attempt a server the first time it automatically makes it a LAN server untill i restart MSC.
oh and the golden axe quest is fubar'd i tried it twice.
it doesnt keep track of how many youve killed.

 

[Netrogor]

MiB; I am funneh

My test says the chests spawn for me on skycastle, always; regardless of cApItAl-LeTtErInG.>.>.>.>. Hmm... I should try holding shift down periodically more often ;p ;p

But, as I've mentioned before, my setups for MSC are always better off than all of you... since I seem to experience bugs either later than all of you, or not at all

Issue with FEB2007a servers, revolved in the B patch.

Damn...what to do if I lost my golden axe with that ticket thingie?

Best I can do is roll you back. But if you lost it "five minutes later" as you say, you likely were not backuped up inbetween, and thus, are SOL.

I may work out something next month for you and Foamy.

 

[evilsquirrel]

how am i involved in this? D:

 

[Thothie]

My bad, I meant Replica. Shoulda kept yer mouth shut, you coulda got a free Gaxe ticket next month.

 

[evilsquirrel]

Flesheater is walk-throughable
Flesheater has wallh4x (he can cast his cloud through walls)
unrest2_beta1 could deal with a reward upgrade, now that flesheater and his minions are pumped up on steroids.

 

[Thothie]

Flesheater adjusts his cliptype on Unrest2_beta - as it's the only way he can walk around there (although I'm actually not sure if he actually can, even with that). He's solid on all other maps.

The wall hack is deliberate, although it has a limited range. (Just unrest2_beta is so small, you might not be able to escape it.)

 

[evilsquirrel]

hmm...interestin...

yeah, he can walk around on unrest2 because of that, but he's still a bit beefy of an enemy to kill for a thornlands spiderchest


as for that poison cloud...why does it go through walls? whats the point?

 

[Thothie]

It's magic?

Well, that, and I figure it's best if you can't just hide from him, since he has no other ranged attack.

Thornlands spider chest? :\
