Official Bug Thread for 1.5d
« on: March 26, 2011, 11:15:05 pm »
Post 1.5d bugs here.
Not sure if this is a bug... I defeated Anthanex in chapter 3 in 1.5. I started chapter 4 in 1.5c and can't use him.

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.

Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies,
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.

Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.

Song of my soul, my voice is dead,
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.

Anthanex is killed by Galeoth when Galeoth is at level 30.
In chapter 4 Phodom can only advance to level 20, so he shouldn't have the right to use Anthanex.

Hi,

Finished Chapter 1.

Store Spells was called.
On ESC the next Chapter was not loaded.
Instead the starting screen (where you can choose which Chapter to start) appeared.
When I selected Chapter 2 the screen went black and nothing happened.
Apparently the Program does something thow: The computer fan starts spinning very fast.
(So I suppose the program crashes - running in some circle).

Whenever Phodom dies, program still crashes fatally to the desktop: Memory violation.

I liked the new sets: Miraga and Magarth.

Hello Aero,

not sure if this is a bug but in chapter 3 i cant steal from Anthanex and the omega monster anymore. Is this intentional?

It's transferred to chapter 6 right away. Should it also be able to use at chapter 4 and 5?

About chapter 2, does this happen only to you or other as well? This sounds a strange bug once again.

I... Just... Can't... Understand... This.... Bug! Why it never happens to me? WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO DIFFERENT THAN I DO?

I just tested. I killed my Phodom and then... No crash.

Does this happen in chapter 1? Tell me exactly your abilities and what you did in order to get this bug? I just died to Ogre Boss and no crash.

Will be fixed.

Hi.

"About chapter 2, does this happen only to you or other as well? This sounds a strange bug once again."

As it appears, I am not the only one (have been looking somewhat around):
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/chosen-ones-beta-1-5c-83535/index192.html
The Guy calling himself Forsaken Ranger apparently has the same problem...

"I... Just... Can't... Understand... This.... Bug! Why it never happens to me? WHAT DO YOU GUYS DO DIFFERENT THAN I DO?

Does this happen in chapter 1? Tell me exactly your abilities and what you did in order to get this bug? I just died to Ogre Boss and no crash."

OK. This is a very, very, very annoying bug, so I decided to invest some time to find out, what might cause the problems here...

After some initial tests I can at least confirm, that the bug does not cause a crash, whenever Phodom dies (like I initially said).
Maybe I just had that feelling, because I usually get my Phodom killed only under special circumstances, like, e. g.,  fighting the epic boss in chapter 1.
(Boy, this epic bosses spells are really nasty...)

Anyway, i did some initial tests.
What I found so far:

No problems with Phodom dying unless I choose heavens bless as a spell.
(Maybe coincidence, but likely not.)

Problem so far when choosing heavens bless as a spell:
The spell doesn`t work all the times.

If I start Chapter 1, use heavens bless and get Phodom deliberatly killed one time, the result is: he dies, game over.
That is to say: no resurrection at all.

If I start Chapter 1, get the honor point from the lucky box, buy one live at the shamans`and then get Phodom deliberatly killed (after using heavens bless, of course), that life is gone, but Phodom lives.
That is to say: resurrection yes, but life lost despite usage of heavens bless.
Second time Phodom dies after repeated usage of heavens bless (now at 0 lives left): resurrection (as normally expected).
Third time Phodom dies after - again - repeated usage of heavens bless (still at 0 lives left): no resurrection. Game over.

Ill play some more and try to send you a savegame at a situation, where the bug occurs shortly after saving...

Okay, okay. That's an easy bug to fix.

What about the crash bug? Did it happen to you?

This is NULL exceptionl, occur when you delete, read, or write data into system memory space... Are there any way to view the instruction at the address it showed?

Balance issue: I do not think that the Elixir that Tharo gives you by clicking on him 10 times is worth the 2 lives needed to get it.

bugs i have found:

chap1:

noone xD   

allthough i have to say i dont like the new set bonuses from miragas and magaraths set. phodom attack like 2 times in 1 minute, so 1% chance to get 1! int/str is just low. I liked the former set bonuses a lot more.

about the fatal errors when phodom dies, i choose heavens bless in the introduction but i didnt skill it in chapter 1 so i had no chance to use it. Died a few times during elite and epic boss, but no fatal error!

gonna bet a glas of sludge that the fatals are caused by heavens bless!  ;D

chap2:

the new stealing system has some minor bugs. the giant lobster near voldro doesnt drop the glyph of ability even it says "stealing succeded".

same with the fishtern boss who drops the 3rd thief item. the item is laying on the ground under his big ass already. when i was trying to steal from him, it said "stealing succeded" but he didnt drop an item.

same with the momo chieftain, says stealing succeded but no item this time.

couldnt craft the demon stilleto, it says (item from skorpion king) + orb of stats + gladius + head? <- what does head mean?

chap3:

couldnt steal the crown from anthanex. tried like 100 times used all my lifes for it.

the ice troll boss who drops the third brother has the ice orb laying under his ass. no need to steal but it says stealing succesfull blabla same as in chap 2 with the fishtern boss.

the ghosts near the magic orb are invis now but still burn mana, lol. 



i stopped here, not in the mood to play further. stealing items will be bugged in the next chapters anyway.

just one question, why did u remove the attack speed gain from agility? i can understand that u removed armor gain from agility, but this way agility is an useless atribute. it has no effect on phodom and galeoth, only fradz gains damage from it. on the other hand, str and int are important for every other hero. thats not balanced!

although i like the fradz model, the attack animation is horrible, it looks so ridiculous when he attacks. hope thats not the final version of it  ;D
 
otherwise im voting for the old powerranger model ^^

Heaven's Bless can be used for this.

I don't understand anything about this.  :o

Yeah, yeah. Need to think something awesome instead of that. Now that there will not be ultimate sets I'll need to think something else.

allthough i have to say i dont like the new set bonuses from miragas and magaraths set. phodom attack like 2 times in 1 minute, so 1% chance to get 1! int/str is just low. I liked the former set bonuses a lot more.

I changed because there are same bonus in other item set / synthesis. I can make the chance bigger if it's better. What chance then?

same with the fishtern boss who drops the 3rd thief item. the item is laying on the ground under his big ass already. when i was trying to steal from him, it said "stealing succeded" but he didnt drop an item.

So... He somehow dropped the item himself before the battle even started?

I removed attack speed from agility because it was made the game imbalanced. Fradz with 0,1 attack speed is just too much.

And about Fradz model, Kitabake really put a lot of effort to the model. If you want to see a "better" Fradz model, you must create or request that for me. I also put a great effort and time to have that model. I'm now too tired to make such a request anymore. I think the current model is better than the old one.

I am very sad to hear that you have decided against Ultimate Sets but I have looked over the effort you have put in on it and can understand that it is very challenging.

Because it would be so sad to lose ultimate sets I may think about designing some for you that would be both very powerful, useful, and not completely over the top. That being said I would still be ok if there were just a lot of sets going around instead.
