Woodcutter dissapearing act

#1 Post by Anonymous Game Creator 2 » Tue Aug 14, 2001 4:21 am

Hmmm... I can't seem to replicate the bug where you walk into the woodcutter's house and he's not there! Could someone please write down the exact steps I must follow in order to witness this? Thanks! <p></p><i></i>

I just restarted the game. I went and got the bowl and filled it. Then I found the elf and got the ring. Then I went to the woodcutter's house and gave the bowl. I left the building and put on the ring. Then I went back in and there was no woodcutter.<br><br>By my observations, it seems to happen only if you've given the bowl but haven't taken the fiddle and are invisible... <p></p><i></i>

-Sometimes the "Nothing happens." message has both words capitalized.<br><br>..for this one do you know which specific screens, places, items cause it to happen? <p></p><i></i>

By the way.. does anyone happen to have an inventory graphic of a dagger that was used in one of the previous KQ games, which I could replace the current dagger with? <p></p><i></i>

The "Nothing Happens." bug is a strange one. I first saw in the woodcutter's hut. However, on further inspection, it seems to also affect every one of the lake screens (but none of the others I tested). Just click a random item around on the screen and you'll get it. Attempting invalid item manipulation with also give the double-capitalized message.<br><br>As for the dagger... I could get you the one from KQ6, if you think that'd fit in... <p></p><i></i>

Ok, I edited that KQ6 dagger a little and put it into the game. I've been fixing all of the major bugs in the game today and I'm almost done with them. I can't replicate this one though:<br><br>-When you take the chest, you get a score of 78, but when you go downstairs, your score decrease to 70 and you lose your chest. (With no dwarf attacking you).<br><br>I've checked the code and everything, but there doesn't seem to be any problem with it.. Has anyone else had this happen to them? <p></p><i></i>

It shouldn't just exit in the middle of the game... did you recieve any error messages or did it just drop back to the desktop without any warning whatsoever? <br><br>If it just drops back without warning, then it seems like a technical fault with AGS, and you should probably post on the AGS forums and inform Chris Jones of the bug, so that he can track it down in the engine and get it fixed:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/"> ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>But if it does give you an error message, could you please post the EXACT message here. Thanks. <p></p><i></i>
