A few possible buglets

[Michael `Wumpus' Z]

I've just started playing Black Gate again, from scratch, and run into a few maybe-bugs; I'll try and set up the original to check against at some point, but tri-booting with linux/windows/dos can be a little fiddly ;-p

Aaaanyway

- There are some "walk-through walls" that I'm fairly certain shouldn't be walk-through-able... the two I've run into are immediately north of the door to the dairy in Paws (IE still on that side of the house, just immediately north of the door); the other I've seen is in the northwest corner of the ground floor of Castle British, in the room with the lever to the `secret' passages; at the very northern end of the picture on the western wall, there's a "soft spot" you can walk through even when the secret door is closed. I'm almost certain this wasn't in the original.

I can provide some screenies if requested.

- The guards sometimes say, eg, "Move along" and "Go about thy business" etc; didn't this originally only happend if you were blocking their way? I noticed this with the guard who is pacing back and forth along the battlements of Castle British, perhaps its his peculiarity...

- Random comments are seen 'through the floor"; eg, if I'm on the roof of Castle British, then you can see the random things said by people below. I'm not at all sure whether this is different to ultima itself though.


I haven't got very far yet, as you can see

Excellent work guys

About the walls: were you by any chance teleporting around in that area? When you teleport into a wall, you can walk through that wall afterwards.

Nah, I haven't played with the cheats yet....

Its incidentally with a CVS version compiled a few days ago (Wednseday evening if memory serves me correctly (evening australian time, that is))

The thing with the guards would happen if -anyone- was blocking
their path, not just you. There were a lot of times in the original where
I would stumble across two guards facing each other telling each other
to Move Along repeatedly.

WRT the guards- well yeah, but the guy on the roof wasn't being blocked by anthing... unless perhaps he was considering the walls below him (IE on the floor below) to be "blocking his path" (even though he continued moving) ?

WRT the 'soft spots' in the walls... I can't seem to reproduce the one in Castle British just now, but http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~michaelz/fi ... dairy.jpeg shows the one at the Paws Dairy... thats Iolo immediately behind the avatar, right in the wall (I'd just walked through it myself). The causeway at the topish right of the screen is the causeway in Paws (well go figure )
