Evidyon Alpha 2 (through 2.6) Bugs and Issues

[Cagen]

Version 2.5 (Feb. 15):

Currently being worked on: consumable items, sound

Bugs

• There is nighttime, but no lighting
• Animations sometimes make the character models twist or change in size
• Monster idle animation is extremely slow
• One is able to create a character without allocating any stat points.
• Item descriptions don't refresh after equipping/unequipping to reflect what your mouse is currently over
• "ESC" while in the Drop screen still logs the character out.
• Putesco gets "stuck" and is can't be cast until another spell is used

Issues

• inventory order not saved on Log-out/-in.
• No consumable items
• Stats screen could use some work
• Sound currently disabled
• Scrolling through lists is too slow and you must click in the box you wish to scroll through, not just hover
• Monsters spawn on screen - can be annoying or get you swamped by them

Version 2.4 (Feb. 7):

Bugs

• There is nighttime, but no lighting (a fix is on the way -Karl)
• Animations sometimes make the character models twist or change in size
• Monster idle animation is extremely slow
• Trees have no collision detection - Fixed, but I forgot to recompile
• You can not walk over the flowered tiles in the monstrosities area - Intentional. If it's a problem, let me know and I can change it (not a bug)
• Sometimes I stay dead indefinitely, logging off seems to fix this. If you type -respawn you respawn dead and still can't get up. - Fixed for this update?
• Sometimes I am unable to cast spells on my Knight, like I will hit the spell and choose and target but nothing happens. When this happens all I have to do is use slash and it works again. - Fixed for this update?
• Creating a name with 32 characters crashes the server - Fixed thanks to Joe's epic bug-finding skills!
• One is able to create a character without allocating any stat points.
• Character name checking is not case sensitive, so I have both "Alpha Male" and "alpha male." With an all-caps font, of course, there's no way to tell these two apart in-game (even if caps are slightly larger, it's not noticeable).- Fixed for newly-created characters
• If one tries a very long character name, when one clicks to continue, the program crashes- Fixed for next update
• While scrolling through inventory, multiple item names will get highlighted and remain so.- Fixed for next update
• Inventory strangeness: it appears that I can add more items of a certain type than I'm supposed to be able to, but no benefit is gained from the extra items. After Log-out/-in, items equipped are reduced to the limit, but it appears to be random which items are kept equipped and which ones revert to inventory.- Fixed for next update
• While running/walking in a certain direction, if I try to cast a projectile spell in a different direction, it won't work: it goes along the path I'm moving.- Fixed for next update
• Phantom items appear to be on the ground, but (of course) can't be picked up. Log-out/-in and they disappear.- Fixed for next update
• Item descriptions don't refresh after equipping/unequipping to reflect what your mouse is currently over
• "ESC" while in the Drop screen still logs the character out.

Issues

• inventory order not saved on Log-out/-in.
• Sound currently disabled
• Auto-updater is disabled
• Scrolling through lists is too slow and you must click in the box you wish to scroll through, not just hover
• Monsters spawn on screen - can be annoying or get you swamped by them

Version 2.2:

• there is nighttime, but no lighting
• Animations sometimes make the character models twist or change in size
• Attacking animation is very jittery - Fixed for next update
• Monster idle animation is extremely slow
• The graphic for items you drop on the ground stay there indefinitely - Fixed for next update
• Trees are translucent, especially seen when they have water behind - Fixed for next update
• Trees have no collision detection - Fixed for next update
• Sometimes I stay dead indefinitely, logging off seems to fix this. If you type -respawn you respawn dead and still can't get up.
• Sometimes I am unable to cast spells on my Knight, like I will hit the spell and choose and target but nothing happens. When this happens all I have to do is use slash and it works again.
• Monstrosities get stuck on the trees/flowers a lot - Fixed for next update
• You can not walk over the flowered tiles in the monstrosities area
• Some monsters spawn and don't react to anything or move - ??? Fixed for next update

Issues

• Auto-updater is disabled -Fixed for next update

[*]Scrolling through lists is too slow and you must click in the box you wish to scroll through, not just hover

[Broken Star]

this sometimes happens when u log off with bone mail on, leaves a naked clone.

[Joe M.]

I've had that problem, but without the bone mail. I was wearing some armor though (I think it was plate mail).

Movement is still very buggy... It still seems to be directive as before(which then causes you to walk away in funny directions if you lag out) and often when I cast spells and stuff I'm not in the place that I appear to be.. and well things jus get plain ol' weird from there.

[Cagen]

Thats a problem with projectile spells. When you cast ignis or multi ignis your character is teleported to that spot and the balls emanate from the previous spot you clicked, however it does not update this graphically client side. Should be fixed for the next update though.

From a coding perspective, movement has absolutely nothing in common with the old method. The weirdness from spells is fixed for next update (it was a server issue), as is what I think is causing your problem with lag. The client optimizes your movement to smooth out jitter in the server's packet stream. One of the approximations makes you move slightly less than you should under big lag spikes, but that's been fixed.

Another thing that I changed for next update is that I prevent "glancing" collisions from registering: i.e. if you try to move past a creature, it fudges your collision circle a little. This has made movement significantly more intuitive.

[Cagen]

The monstrosities animation is faster but it is still too slow and looks jittery.

Also, you didn't fix the hole in the southern scorpion nest. It just needs different colour walls or floor at the bottom.

[Karl G.]

I don't know what's up with the monstrosities idle animation. It looks great in the editor, but it freaks out in the game.

As for the pit, I fixed it but I added a few new layers in the map and didn't want to recompile, since I would have to reassign a bunch of stuff. I figured I'll just put it out in the next version (which has multiple maps!)

[Cagen]

Ah, ok. Cool.

[Joe M.]

Downloaded and installed the latest update, logged on to find that my inventory had been erased.
The one other player I talked to in game hadn't had the same problem.
Of course, the update itself may have nothing to do with it. Any ideas, Karl?

Anybody else have this happen?

[Broken Star]

dunno if these are bugs or not

delay after you trans
bone mail looks like a leather type armor
corpus spells does nothing / is a buff and I cannot tell

Not bugs (although bone mail will be changed in the future)

Ok, so it wasn't just me. Character's name is Egypt, correct?

[Broken Star]

so what does corpus do? lol

[Cagen]

Nothing, it was an experiment that got left in the game.

[Joe M.]

Yes, my character's name is Egypt.

Woohoo, thats gonna be nice! Any idea whe the next update might be around...just curious.

[Cagen]

Updated for latest release.

[Broken Star]

Sometimes I am unable to cast spells on my Knight, like I will hit the spell and choose and target but nothing happens. When this happens all I have to do is use slash and it works again.

I noticed this too, but I thought it was just me. If you can tell me what you were doing right before being unable to cast a spell, that would be extremely helpful.
