Bugs Thread

[LegendMaker]

@camelotcrusade: My last few contributions to this thread seem to have been simply ignored, they were neither added, nor discussed... Any particular reason for that, or is it just an omission?

To recap:

- All active battlefield objects are now immortal, unless a melee unit attacks them directly (no range, spell, rage or area effect can damage them).

- Catacombs in Verlon Wastelands stay open after quest completion, trapping the player forever if he enters it again.

- The Ice Wall (from rage skill "Ice Blades") also returns range and indirect damage, not just melee, despite its description saying "if attacked by melee, the ice wall returns __% of the damage it suffers." Either a bug or a very misleading description.

- Regina's Messenger animation takes at least twice longer to complete than any other Valkyrie's.

Using game started on day 1 (Oct 26th), but playing build 6249. Vanilla install. No add-ons or mods. Hope this helps (but if he doesn't, please let me know why). Thanks.

Ranged attacks seem to work fine for me, including abilities like Spear of Wrath.

- Catacombs in Verlon Wastelands stay open after quest completion, trapping the player forever if he enters it again.

I went in after completing the quest and I could simply leave again.

Butcher award count is bugging...
I try to lose my Phenix to be sure the count goes up. I did it regularly, I was about 7/25 or 8/25 and today I'm looking the count is 0/25...

Pfff I understand why now : I play on 2 computers on Steam. The count of butcher award is not in the save file... So each time I pass the save file from one PC to another, the count restart to zero...
Wow, develop with hands, not with feet...

I found A new Bug with the Winged Helmet. When you equip the helmet, its supposed to give you 2-3 Vikings after a battle. It actually says that it has given me vikings after my battles (usually 3 Skalds). But It never actually does give them to me. I still have the same number of skalds each time. Please Fix.

Yea it seem to have no special code for that:

addon2_helmet_winged_helmet {
  category=o
  image=heroitem_addon2_helmet_winged_helmet.png
  hint_config=object_item
  label=itm_addon2_helmet_winged_helmet_name
  hint=itm_addon2_helmet_winged_helmet_hint
  information_label=itm_addon2_helmet_winged_helmet_info
  maphint=
  mapinfo=
  price=18000
  maxcount=1
  level=3
  race=viking
  setref=set_valkyrie
  use {}
  mods {
    defense=count,2
    leadership=count,100
  }
  propbits=helmet
  params {}
}

Is there any other item, which has this "give troops" bonus (and it works), so it could be compared in any way?

EDIT: Another item with a equal function is "itm_addon2_regalia_orc_banner", but it looks the same, no special code for that. So it have to be in some other file (not just items.txt). Otherwise you wouldn't see any message at all.

EDIT2:
The right code can be found in "addon_arena.lua":

  if Logic.hero_lu_item_on_body("addon2_helmet_winged_helmet") then
    local data = { --[[Ïðåäìåò Êðûëàòûé Øëåì]]
      {n = "slinger_man",       minc = 3, maxc = 3, prob = 50},
      {n = "viking",            minc = 2, maxc = 3, prob = 40},
      {n = "skald",             minc = 3, maxc = 3, prob = 30}
    }
    table.insert(tab_verbovka, data)
  end
  if Logic.hero_lu_item_on_body("addon2_regalia_orc_banner") then
    local data = { --[[Ïðåäìåò Çíàìÿ Îðäû]]
      {n = "goblin",            minc = 3, maxc = 3, prob = 50},
      {n = "goblin2",           minc = 3, maxc = 3, prob = 50},
      {n = "orc",               minc = 2, maxc = 3, prob = 40},
      {n = "goblin_shaman",     minc = 2, maxc = 3, prob = 20},
      {n = "catapult",          minc = 3, maxc = 3, prob = 20}
    }
    table.insert(tab_verbovka, data)
  end

King Asvald doesn't see that I have Odin's flag. I upgraded from Horn of Odin banner to Odin's Flag. The flag doesn't identify as a quest item.

I was told this is working as intended. The king wanted the original item, but you chose to upgrade it instead to use yourself. No big deal, this is an optional quest.

This makes the skill a DETRIMENT to your character, and is a major flaw.

Ice and Fire 1.2.1

It seems the Skaald Paean ability is still bugged. It tends to freeze the game when I use it. It casts the buffs that looks like a silver-blue set of wings then hangs until I reload last saved game.
