FEB2007b Bug Reports

[evilsquirrel]

unless theres some other reward for beating everything in unrest2_beta1 that i'm unaware of due to people snatching it...

 

[Xeropace]

I just noticed that parry bug in the acient scection. Well I noticed the other day I parried about 5 times with level 26 parry, and the % is still 26. I'm kinda scared as it's been in the 20%-30% range for days, and no I'm not dying and lowering it.

Could this be that bug or what?

 

[evilsquirrel]

parry is odd...it likes to jump around...

i forget what mine is, maybe 39?

 

[replica]

my swords been doing something similar to parry. it will get stuck at 100% for awhile then it will drop down to 0 and keep going up till it gains a lvl. it would be real nice if that were fixed because i cant keep track of my progress at all with blunt and sword. speaking of not being able to keep track how about adding a numerical scale type thing with weight.

 

[The Man In Black]

If you think it's bad with 2 skills, try it with 5 ;-)

And it was already said (for source) that numerical weights won't work, so I'm just gonna assume it won't work here.

Wow... I looked at the original script folder - that bug has been in there since JANUARY 2006 and you are the first to notice, congrats.

Fixed next month... Only a bit over a year late.

this bug didnt really bother me untill now, (raising up my magic level.)
but if i use any magic for awhile continuously and every now and then it will act like im shooting fire at him, but nothing shows up.
and the only way to fix it is to punch it with my hands then resume using magic.

[evilsquirrel]

axes are not meant for smacking, thothie.

(the great axe and golden axe are held by the player as if they are smacking people with the flat side, instead of using it correctly [in third person view])

I think this is related to the ancient bug where sometimes your weapon will stop doing damage until you toss it and pick it back up again (will tack on to the ancient BL).

Meh, model issue. You'll have to talk to Orochi - he's made new player model consolidations, and as I understand it, is making more still, so he may have already fixed it.

*Another bug to add:
It's the first time I've ever tried this bug, but I think it's linked to the "messed-up-inventory bug" that sometimes happens, and that can be cured by just rejoining, except this time my weight was completely normal, even though I didn't have a "spellbook" equipped; I had an "Ice Shield Scroll" equipped indstead and inside it I just double clicked on my glow scroll for casting glow and ended drinking my potion of forgetfulness and forgot all my spells xD Well just wanted to mention it, then I rejoined right away but it was too late my spells were gone but the rest of the inventory was back to normal.


*One more bug to add:
Sometimes I can't use the charged attack with any weapon, then with some luck if server crashes and I rejoin the server when it's up again, the bug is autofixed. I always thought there was something wrong with my mouse, and therefor I also have an alternative key for attacking in my keyboard but now I am sure that it doenst have to do with my sucky mouse, since the chargebar totally vanishes. After servercrashes I can charge up again, it's a bit weird. I am not sure if spamming attack has an effect on this, specially after using Torkalath and spamming furiously the MOUSE1 or attack button, the charge up strike oportunity disappears.

*** Not really a "bug" but in a way it can be considered like it, even though everyone knows about this I was wondering when something could be done to fix it:
With the torkalath blade you can attack twice at the same time of 1 slash in 3rd view animation. I was thinking if the 3rd view animation speed could get increased?

This is the classic inventory scramble bug... I'll have to tack it onto ancient bugs. Usually happens when you click on your character two or more times before it loads. Although sometimes it just happens because you didn't send enough fresh babies to Gabe Newell. If you get stuck this way, ask for a character restore in the FN thread. Even if you manage to undo it by dropping stuff, it's a good way to get yer character scrambled in the long term.

This is caused by lag. I'll add it to ancient too.

Hmm... I thought it was in sync. I can't make the view anim any faster without sticking in a new model - which isn't worth the model slot until we can consolidate view models. (At which point I intend to reskin the four elven blades so you can tell them apart.)

 

[Odin]

okay hmm Thothie I got a question is there anything you could do about the issue of losing scrolls while casting? I mean when you are casting a spell and it lags and the server crash you end up losing the scroll is there anything that can be done about this ? I am just getting tired of my scrolls disappearing, frankly I just lost an elven longbow while giving it away to someone and I lost my acidic bolt scroll while casting, both server crash issues ) it's like damn unlucky sine it happened in 2 different servers and within 2 minutes.

EDIT: Yay, the reason of the server crashes was someone joining with a corrupted char

 

[DarkWasp]

I was down to 10 Dwarven Zombies left and I got the "NO FREAKING FREE EDICTS YOU MORON STOP PLAYING THE GAME AND START OVER SOME DAY WHEN YOU ARE FEELING VERY LUCKY" bug!


This happened to me yesterday as well but I it was a different amount of zombies.


The map just seems to crash after a certian amount of time, maybe a day night transistion.

Gatecity HATES listenservers... it HATES them with a passion.

Not to mention, that no free edicts error comes up imediatly if I run a LAN char server, no matter what I do. (I tried the starting from Edana thing).


Anyway, the zombies dont spawn fast enough for me to aviod the error of doom.

And I found a HOM leak in the corner of tunnel entrance from the vine/web/moss ladder room.

Sometimes when I hold mouse1 to continously swing a weapon it only attacks on click and on release. It still plays the view animation but not the 3rd-person animation. It's really annoying.

 

[evilsquirrel]

yeah...i've gotten that recently too..

 

[Orochi]

To fix that, simply perform a charge attack.

 

[The Man In Black]

Or switch hands and switch back, or put the weapons away and take them out.

Tried that lots of times but it only worked about 75% of the tries.

 

[Thothie]

Third person and view anims are never in sync. I've no clue what to do about that, if anything can be done about it.

 

[Thothie]

Wow, I may have actually fixed one of the ancient bugs.

Starting next month, it seems, on MAR2007a servers, if you buy or attempt to take an item that is too heavy out of a chest, it will teleport to your character's feet, instead of to oblivion.

Currently seems to be working on the beta server. I attempted to take a PSB out of a Daragoth chest that was too heavy for me, and sure enough, it teleported to my char's feet.

One, very minor, side effect: if you attempt to pick up an item on the ground that is too heavy, it will teleport to waste height. Doesn't stick you in place or anything, so no biggy.

 

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

I love it... But I couldn't loot a second iron shield in daragoth...

But for the weird black axes it worked just fine!

 

[evilsquirrel]

all creatures can see through walls

they're lining up at places i'm about to get to, or along walls - when they see a player in another area of the map.

 

[Sabre]

That's not a bad one...Especially when you're hunting Dwarven Zombies that cause of that they'll make their way to you...

 

[evilsquirrel]

you're supposed to be HUNTING them, though......

anyways, its a glitch either way.
