Author	Topic: Funniest bugs ever
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, June 8 2005 08:32 Profile Homepage #0 After designing a scenario myself, I've noticed that some people have found incredibly bizarre bugs. Some are minor, some debilitating, and some are just plain funny. Examples of the last group: quote: I had no free inventory slots, but before closing the 'get' window I stupidly picked up the "PLUMS" that were in my weapon hand. I couldn't put them down anywhere, least of all in my weapon hand, so I had to C-A-Del and try again. My pants had turned into another type of fruit. No snickering please. quote: My singleton just kept walking north. Walking and walking. Finally he go trapped in the solid stone wall (or so I imagine) and BoA was so upset it cried. quote: no matter how many times I hit the freaking slug, I never get any earrings. HELP! The first two are from my scenario, the third's from A Large Rebellion. Anybody else seen any strange/funny/downright evil bugs? (I thought it'd be kind to remove names on the quotes) -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Finally he go trapped in the solid stone wall (or so I imagine) and BoA was so upset it cried." I got this as well. It's no laughing matter, whenever my singleton tried go after Korbis, he just kept walking North, he then went on through the stone wall & the screen went blank. Blades of Avernum Froze. I have tried several times & it still doesn't work. Also, I recevied the message of Oakleaf asking for the artifacts, & then "Getting angry" before I had even got to the Sanctum & spoken with him. Other than those 2 bugs, the game was pretty good. Posts: 1 \| Registered: Wednesday, June 8 2005 07:00

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Wednesday, June 8 2005 16:39 Profile #3 I was trying to lend a humorous hand when I sculpted those bug messages. There is nothing more frustrating than a bug when a fellow knows nothing of scripting, but as I get more adept I hope I can be informative with new scenarios. Also, at the time I figured it was some cool druiding thing my party was attempting in order to distract the Klorits character. Who knows what the druid can do? -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, June 8 2005 17:40 Profile Homepage #4 I wasn't trying to make fun of anyone's problems, just trying to start a humorous thread. I acknowledge that those bugs were unusual and frustrating, but they still seem kind of funny to me. (It'd be an interesting combat trick to turn the party's weapons into fruit, you've got to admit) There just seems to be some problem translating between Mac and Windows scenario writers... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Archmagus Micael Agent Member # 4506	written Thursday, June 9 2005 11:48 Profile Homepage #6 The funniest bug I had is when making a call that killed your party in "The Maze". It made my characters lie down as if they were dead, yet they were still alive. This even happened in combat. I left teh scenario and everything - and my party were still lying along the ground.

Ha ha, now that's a funny bug! Wait, I don't get it. (Seriously, though, yes, I know that Fly-Retreat is bugged still. I do not know where the "not stopping" bug comes from, though, and I've never been able to reproduce it.) -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Jumpin Salmon ? Man, ? Amazing Member # 5755	written Friday, June 10 2005 09:01 Profile #11 When I first played APF I came across something that was the catalyst for joining these boards. I got to the caves containing the perfect spirit, and had a heluva time destroying the machinery. And I was so proud when I finished that I completely forgot about that unpowered portal over on the western wall. So I tried to walk back out the cave entrance. What a disaster. I'm still not sure what happens, but BoA definitely did not like me leaving in that direction. Even worse was when I used the character editor to leave town. Yikes. I don't remember the details, except the general freakiness of the episode, but it did prompt me to come here for help. :) -------------------- quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Well, I'm at least pretty sure that Salmon is losing.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, June 10 2005 15:51 Profile Homepage #12 Yeah, nobody's ever really figured out why the Lost City does that. On Macs it usually just takes a really long time for the town to load, but on Windows it can often crash the machine outright. We're all a little nervous about it. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
spy-there Agent Member # 1993	written Friday, June 10 2005 18:22 Profile #13 There is a funny clone-bug that occurs in Mad Ambition and Babysitting. In MA you can copy Anthony, in Babysitting the little sister (that might meanwhile be fixed though). In MA it works like this: After Malachai's death you find Anthony, and he joins your party. If you go outside of Fort Ivalice (e.g. to regain SPs) and revisit the place where you met Anthony previously - there is another Anthony waiting for you! And he'll join your party too if you talked to him. Since Anthony is not a fighting character it makes no difference for the story. Next time I'll try to clone three Anthonys :) -------------------- Slartucker: * facepalm facepalm facepalm * Dikiyoba: Are you unconscious yet?

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, June 10 2005 18:33 Profile Homepage #14 Whoops, must have overlooked that one. There was a bug in a beta version where Malachai self-replicated all over the place too. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Nicothodes Lifecrafter Member # 4682	written Saturday, June 11 2005 06:23 Profile #15 In Druids of Krell if you move off to the side instead of just hitting the wait button while distracting the dragon, when the dragon comes down again, he attacks an empty space instead of your party. :P -------------------- Do not underestimate the power of the mechanical pencil.

spy-there Agent Member # 1993	written Saturday, June 11 2005 17:05 Profile #16 Druids of Krell has also some sort of "down-with-capitalists"-bug: I had over 4000 gold when I left Relias and thought to buy some spells in Fort Ouranil. I went to the wizard - but could not pay anymore: My account of coins was suddenly set to zero. :D Maybe they have a special tax to maintain environmental protection and the fancy landscape-gardening. -------------------- Slartucker: * facepalm facepalm facepalm * Dikiyoba: Are you unconscious yet?

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, June 11 2005 19:05 Profile Homepage #17 Hm... wish I knew what the money bug was, but nothing in Fort Ouranil should do anything to your money (aside from shops). I don't think I can help you there. When you're distracting the dragon, that second line of fire isn't supposed to home in on you, just streak down the center of the platforms. Not a bug. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.
