Start an SI game
Teleport to 0x590 0x813
Try to walk the stairs


I get a massive crash in which the game is blocked. Only way out: "killall -9 exult".

Is it because the area is supposed to be out of reach or because it's just a plain bug ?

Nothing happens when I try it in 1.1x (after stacking the crates so I can climb up). The stairs don't seem to lead anywhere, though.

My guess: You hit a pathfinding bug that won't be easy to duplicate, probably involving companions getting in each others' way.

If you have a savegame where it happens regularly, you could submit it as a bug, and I'll try to fix it.

actually it also happened to wjp (#exult logs of 18/09/2002)

It could be a pathfinder pb, but it happened when I was in walking mode, not in combat mode and I did not double-right-clicked anywhere.

I've recompiled the code yesterday after all that, and I haven't had time to test it again. So I'll do that first before sending a savegame.

Artaxerxes

well, even with yesterday's CVS code, it still happens....

I'll add a savegame to the bug report ASAP.

Still doesn't happen with the savegame in the 1.1x branch. I wandered all around, then stacked the crates so I could climb the stairs.

What size window are you playing with? Also, does it happen with sound turned off?
(I'm just taking some stabs in the dark.)

size windows is identical to original game and it happen when both times (sound off and sound on).

walk around, kill the gazer and keep walking around to see...

Artaxerxes

Got it! Bug occurs when Boydon is paralyzed by the gazer, and it wasn't happening to me before because I set the game to 'god mode'. I should have a fix (both branches) in a little while.
Thanks!
