Forums: Tech Support / Bug Reporting

So everyone can use this thread for Typos. Please be as precise as you can be when describing where you have spotted the error.

Effect Description of Bark Coat (the one that shows up if the protected is attacked) reads
Character 1 is protected by Character 2’s melee attacks by a bark coat (18).
The first “by” is wrong, it should be “from” (as it is, I think, in Stonecoat).

Barkcoat: fixed

Something I’ve had come up a lot is “$actor protects Kalaznikov from fire by cooling and adapting their skin (44).” The “$actor” is what I’m pointing out. This is on more effects than just this one. I assume it’s because who cast it isn’t kept track of aftr it’s initially done.
While not a typo persay, I thought I’d point it out.

That should be coldskin… I’ll have a look to further pin down the location… (initial, effect in log, effect on character) but you’re right, I have seen that on a skill, too, not coldskin, but I don’t remember exactly which one it was. (I can just rule out coldskin)

Thanks for the notice, and frankly, thanks for using this thread. ;)

Edit: Okay, checked. It is, indeed, in Coldskin. The Popup and Log (when used) are fine, but the effect that attaches to the character (and is shown when that character is targeted) somehow doesn’t quite interpret that $actor correctly. This may be, because this is a lasting effect, used by someone else, but staying. Maybe it should be changed to a passive form, like “$Target’s skin is adapted and cooled, protecting it.” This leaves the caster out of the lasting effect.

This one is on stonefists, the popup and log message. I noticed it before, but forgot to report it. Thankfully, redbrett was so kind to do so.

redbrett: Warrior Bob grows fists of stone and jarring (16) Mudbug Worker Swoiecrog. this is missing several words!

Yeah, there should be some words to describe that he is actually punching the opponent.

After the second wave of wasps, i ends with:
…“a few yards into your trial is a stream about 3 strides wide and about calf deep.”
Is that supposed to be ‘trail’, because it’s odd either way.

Thanks Olaf – I reworded that one (I think you should be able to see the updated version in your Mission log).

Error in Infectious Cut. When used/in log, it displays “User slices user, …” but it should be “User slices target, …”

Thanks – fixed.

One of the actions’ status message (I’m guessing it’s “strong like a potato”) reads:

$actor summons up its inner and outer strength. (21)

thanks, fixed

There was a small error in Honeygrip (activation/log message) – should be fixed (both servers)

After you accept the cylinder from Haraz in coil pt 2 he has a blurb including;

“If you come back then, you can maybe watch a life test, and maybe I’ll have another job for you.”” should be “live test”?

Mission: Helcome to Hopitan
Status: End of battle. Success. Captain Dreston speaks:

“As I don’t like owing someone, I better settle it right now.”

I’d better or I had better should sound nicer. :)

Thanks shaldo – good eye.

On some of the battle messages, for example, Warrior Hsjyeh puts their hands up defensively.

Shouldn’t ‘their’ be ‘his’ or ‘her’? Or are you just trying to avoid the gender? Because that’s understandable.

Yes, as far as I know, that’s to avoid gender. I don’t know if we have an alternative yet, or if one is feasible (we do have gendered player-characters and can check for gender for mission text messages, but I don’t know if it is possible to use that in battle code)

I see.

Starting mission encounter…
Building Battle

• building map tiles…map tiles created!
• creating your enemies…
  o Elite Ranger Chayiprip created!
  o Chaduk Scavenger Chiggra created!
  o Charduk Outlaw Oakumir created!
  o Chaduk Scavenger Llisefikl created!
  o Chaduk Scavenger Swinacar created!

The third guy listed is spelled wrong. This battle was initiated on a different account of mine, during the escort mission through Chaduk Haven desert from Hopitan.

Yeah, there are one or two occasions where Chaduk is spelled Charduk, especially on that mission. Problem is: I don’t know if I can fix that typo without killing some peoples battles or crashing the server.

Ah, ok, that sucks.
