JAN2007 Bug Reports

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

haha yeah... iceshield won't work when i'm safely casting it, but when i've got monsters breathing down my hps then it likes to work! =D (sometimes!)

 

[evilsquirrel]

look up and it will work...im magic...

 

[Thothie]

Yeah, I think if a monster gets in your line of fire, there's a chance your MP may go into the mana hole, I'll see what I can do about that... On the plus side, you CAN actually ice shield other players now (and your pets and hirelings as well).

Once in awhile (this bug dates back to August 2006) you'll get a "Error (SERVER): Error: CGenericItem::Attack --> Call strike function" from Ice shield (and manna go to oblivion). I'm not sure what causes this, but it seems to only happen if you are near a skybrush, and is very rare, and like Foamy says, best way to fix it seems to be to look straight up.

Rejuv hasn't changed at all. I've been able to heal other players fine, so I dunno.

To address the updates to the top post:

Armor bug is back

Choose between armor bug and character corruption that crashes your server.

Elven longbow uses the wrong model/skin (it always has)

Nope, it's the right one. The other skin is for something else.

When a player dies, thier body plays the walk anim until it fades away...

One of the very early JAN2007D releases had that minor issue. Tis resolved in the latest. Playing on a server with the older patch may cause this too. I didn't individually name the JAN2007D patches as they were all released within an hour of one another, and the difference between them all were all aesthetic or minor annoyance related to the armor rollback.

AMX votemap stays after map transition if minimized (quickfix - use the emote menu[v])

Your amx install is dated

electric slime stops before it gets in range

Will examine, if it's just one of them, it maybe inside a monsterclip.

chest with 30 elven arrows only lets you take 25

Error in the elven arrow script, fixed next FEB2007.

Thornlands: orc chest does not spawn

Never has, seems it was deliberately removed. Could put it back in, orc raids are so rare.

Sfor: players with a raven mace can swim up the waterfall

Players WITHOUT a raven mace can swim up the waterfall. Not worth fixing.

Challs: floors are a bit funky and restrict movement

No source, canna do squat.

Calruin2: killing a green spider will allow you to leave the spiders den (intentional?)

Hmm... Should have to kill the queen... Will check source.

Heras: blackout effects all players
troll lobber?
needs its own reward chest

Blackout? (I don't get to play Heras too often)
What of it?
Heras has its own reward chest.

Keledrosruins: keledros wanders before he's supposed to

Side effect of fixing his blindness, will fine-tune. (Tricky to calculate distance)

Mines :
chest spawns before you kill things to get it
you can run out of the bat room before you kill it

Think all intentional. Suspect it was largely intended as a "running around in the dark" map. Bit more effective before I boosted the glow spell.

ms_caves: bridge room can be exploited for easier acess to chests below

If you mean by jumping from the bridge to the lower catwalk - you deserve the prize just for pulling it off. ^_^

CotBG: floor drops out before all bears are dead...?

There's a buffer of 2 bears, to help prevent the "bear leak" from stopping map completion. Also, only the larger bears actually have to be slain.

Rejuv hasn't changed at all. I've been able to heal other players fine, so I dunno.

its not just rejuv, in the previous patch (I haven't checked this one), sometimes after casting, all your spells would lock up and would no longer work until a map change. This has occured to me twice (both after using glow, but that may not be why). It's not really a major bug though.

 

[The Man In Black]

But I do it all the time with NO problem (And it's not FROM the bridge btw)

 

[The Man In Black]

Double post ftw.

I don't remember if it was this thread or not, but I did Skycastle and the chests didn't spawn for me, either. I demand free st00f >:O

 

[evilsquirrel]

you've got the map updates, right?


(currently updating my amx to test it for issues)

 

[Thothie]

Oh yeah, that is another thing... If the maps aren't updated... But Mario said it was MY server... Hmm... I may need to test this. There is an anti-cheat trigger on those chests, but I checked the spellikz and everything and it looked good. I shall put it up top on the sh*t to test list.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Double post ftw.

I don't remember if it was this thread or not, but I did Skycastle and the chests didn't spawn for me, either. I demand free st00f >:O

I played it twice, and all the crap spawned.

OH EM GEE WIN!

 

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

i did it again with rep, i dun remember which server tho... prolly blastos

NO CHESTS! T_T

 

[Blasto121]

I updated my maps yesterday, so if you played on it then, well the issue lies in the map updates.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Third and fourth run-through today, chests spawned.

It might be interesting for you guys to know that I have all the latest updates.

 

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

suppose it might have to do w/ me killing the bears w/ my dwarven axe and not my tork...

since i take so long, i've got bears falling off the map or something...

edit:
so far i was 5 for 5 no chests on thothie/blasto's server which ofcourse are fully updated =\

BUT today i played on Nets server... and got the skycastle chests, 4 for 4...

EXPLANATION PLEEEZ!

 

[Aische]

think there is a problem between the update and cotbg
used first the update and plazed the map on my listen => no chests
the i installed the hole D betapack and evrzthing went fine 2 times in a row
maybe some people did not deleate the older mapupdate zip file or something

mfg

PS: is there a possibility to do anything if u got and lost rare items betwen two backups?

You are probably SOL then, if yer absolutely sure it all happened between the two backups. :/

 

[DarkWasp]

My friend spawns 95% of the time holding a different item than he is supposed to. Restarting the game or throwing everything fixes this until the next map change.

Ji-Ax's Ice Troll flipps upside down near the waterfall.

Ji-Ax swings through the gate in the back and does no damage to the player, but the player can damage him as his arm swings in front of the gate.

I spawned on an FN server with a boar pelt (flat model) through my chest. Ever since, i've been crashing servers' connection to FN as I join. Even my own server.

MAP ISSUSES SINCE MS1.3

Thornlands spawns spiders in the walls or even out of reach about 75% of the time attempting the cave boss challenge. (Before the boss spawns)

Calruin (the first one, this may not be important)
Spawns skeletons in the middle of the first room on top of junk. They cant move.

Sfor still allows players to boost others right up to the boss spider, and Skeletons still enjoy a swim every once and a while.

Challs still has a bunch of invisible walls to get stuck behind in the first room to the left.
