Greetings, I am finding myself with a very strange problem that doesn't make a lot of sense. I have a stairway in one town which leads into another, and then one in the other town wich leads back. Pretty standard. I have done this before a dozen times without a problem. I set it up so that each stairway puts the party on a space with no specials. It is a forced stairway with no text boxes. When the town which serves as a the main floor is entered and then the party decends down the stirway it works fine. However, when they try to go back up they are sent to the new town and then automaticaly sent righ back to the tow they just left. I tried moving the space that the stairway sends them to further away from the special but I still get the same responce. I have double checked the node work on both ends and everything appears to be in order. Is this a bug that I have run accross? Or is there something that I may have missed? -------------------- If Magic is your crutch, cast it off and walk without. Diablo 1 Manual Truth is good manners, manners are a fiction.

Someone else would know this more thoroughly than me, but I think there is a bug that if you place a stairway node on a particular square, say (10,10), and there's a special on the corresponding space in the entry town, that is, (10,10) in the town the party is moving into, that special gets called. Are your stairways on the same (x,y) coordinates in their respective towns? -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Do you have a Jump-To at the end of the second call?

Kel is right, it is a bug. You can find a list of known bugs here and here [ Sunday, December 12, 2004 10:24: Message edited by: Wham Bam Shizam v 2.0 ] -------------------- Wham Bam Shizam Posts: 247 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00 |

Yes, I have the stairways on the same squairs in the different towns. If that is the issue it is rather odd because I have the same araingment between the base town and another town that works just fine. I don't have any jump-to's, I figured that they might cause a problem so I left them out. Just for clarification, the base town is not the starting town of the scenerio, but rather town 1 which I am connecting to town 2 and 3. It is the connection with town three that is the problem, but both connections use the exact same style of connection. I'll check through the known bugs and see what I can find. Thank you very much. -------------------- If Magic is your crutch, cast it off and walk without. Diablo 1 Manual Truth is good manners, manners are a fiction.
