workarounds

Post by Gerry »

I have discovered workarounds for two problems I encountered in the 1.1 snapshots:


- My party won't move anymore (characters 'wriggle' instead of walk).

Make shure stats are running. Click on any character's stats, and your party should unlock.

- I have resurrected a non-party NPC, but he/she won't talk.

Cast the dance spell. Immediately try again - it always works for me.

About the second problem: it occurs in the original U7 as well, perhaps because the NPC appears to be in something like combat-mode "surf". I used to go away and wait some hours before trying to speak with him/her again, but your idea of "dance spell" appears to be more useful. Thanks [:-))
The first problem could be a bug as I don´t remember it happening in the original. Anyway I´m using the 1.0x... Perhaps you should submit a bug report if the problem persists.

I find that party members sometimes freeze & won't move if you try to move something that's "too heavy" or "can't get there". The solution is to just click on something nearby (even a wall works), then the party unfreezes.

Don't know if this is the same problem you are experiencing.

Hey, never tried that, Automaton Dragon! Thanks- I'll give it a go as soon as I encounter the problem again.

I found something odd today too. In SI.

I just did shamino's castle, and the ghost didn't attack like she should have.

Plus the animated armor bug is still there from the original as well.

When you go into the room and kill them, (the red armor), go outside and there is one standing on the corner of the top of the castle (bottom left corner).

It's probably because Exult uses the same script as the original, and the bug is there.

It´s a bug indeed because I´ve tried it in the original and it does not happen. I´m going to submit a bug report about it if nobody has done it before.
