Sorry for the double-post, but I couldn't fit all of my log into the last post Sad

ANYWAY, here's part 2 (BTW, the "WARN: All sound channels..." thing repeats a billion times, so I cut it short):

Any time you see

A useful list of information on what the different errors and warnings mean. Maybe I should put the info in my FAQ.

Yeah, I was already looking at the best way to solve this Razz

Found a bug:
In the Rogue starter, if you move with the iron ball, instead of being dragged after you, it reappears directly beneath you, and you end up standing on it.

Edit: Some more...
1. In the fire palace, the cobols can climb on the walls.
2. In the fire palace, when I kill a hotdog and there is a cobol riding it, the cobol remains mounted on the dead hotdog and I can't kill it.

Thank you for the report. The bugs should be fixed next release hopefully. Physics engine, scripts running when creatures die and some corrupt object handling seems to be the biggest problems that should be fixed.

Another bug:
If you specify an object size lower than 1.0, it still counts as 1.0 when you hold the item, and turns into the appropriate size only if you drop it.
If you pick it up again, it resets to 1.0...

Weapons get experience, they level up, they get bigger, they get more deadly (wtf? Confused

), so, Zefz, I don't think weapons should get any experience at all for sake of weirdness Rolling Eyes

. Worst case scenario, we scale up a bunch of weapons (say, swords and shields) and put them in the game as big weapons that are better than the regular ones, but require something that lower-level characters don't have, say, a ton of strength for a Giant Sword that matches higher-level characters in max. size, and requires an insane amount of strength that only higher-level characters can supply.
WHEW!
But most ranged weapons will not be made in large and regular versions Rolling Eyes

On a completely separate topic, "scripts running on dead objects" has been listed as a bug.

Technically this is not a bug. I was intending that bumping into a killed character would be a way to loot the corpse. On death, the normal behavior would be to fall over and drop only the weapons/items in-hand. The items in the inventory and any money would not be dropped unless you bump into the killed item/NPC.

It is really the scripts that need to be modded so that they handle dead items/characters?

Zefz · Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 6:30 am Post subject:

Hmm, that may be. All the money, key and loot dropping stuff happens when IfKilled is run. And running the AI for all dead bodies would sap cpu speed that could be used elsewhere (It does increase let_ai_think). All other scriptfunctions such as timers, attacks, movement, spawning of particles, targeting, etc. would need to be disabled while creatures are dead.

Oh, and leveling up weapons so far only increases size, no other stat such as damage.

Having weapons growing sounds annoying, as well as the idea of having normal weapons being able to break...

There already are means to destroy weapons and items, like gelfeet, pits, doors, sometimes water or fire... Isn't that enough?

Problem is the AI do a LOT of things outside IfTimeOut too. Manage blips, sparkles, spawn particles, play music, sounds, etc.

I don't know how it would affect respawn and CleanUp either. Maybe have only one function work when objects are dead? (IfDead). The script will skip anything else until it reaches IfDead, then runs everything under IfDead.
