Mods that don't have an arrowl in their Sprites folder are crashing in the latest SVN version.  In previous versions, arrowl was optional so I assume this is a bug.

[SX]

Fixed.  I didn't realize that loadsprite() shutsdown if file not found.....  ;p  The mod I was using had the gif so i missed it.

[Mr.Q®]

Sorry I'v been a litle away from devs for some time. Is still the fall sound going on twice when someone falls? That' a little annoying XD.



FIXED SVN:  2.0953 by SX

[SX]

Which version.... i am not able to reproduce it.

These are bugs from version 2.0917 (5 June 2007).

1. Enemies sometimes walk to holes. Previously they never walk to holes. I said 'sometimes' cause it's random. It's hard to tell when they'll do that so this test procedure won't be 100% successful.

 Test Procedure:
 - Make a level with holes. Any holes (endhole or custom holes) will do
 - Spawn enemies near those holes
 - Don't attack enemies but let them walk around instead. Some of them might walk to holes
 - This may take a while cause it's random

2. Enemies with subtype 'arrow' can't fall to holes. Previously they can fall to holes.

 Test Procedure:
 - Make an enemy with subtype arrow
 - Make a level with holes. Any holes (endhole or custom holes) will do
 - Spawn that enemy so that it walk to hole
 - Does the enemy falls when it reaches the holes

3. Enemies play their 'diesound' after they fall to holes even if they have played it before (killed before falling to hole).

 Test Procedure:
 - Play a level with holes. Preferrably one with enemies near holes
 - Kill enemies but try it so that after the last blow (attack that kills the enemy) enemy fall to hole

4. Take a look at this shot:

 

 Athena's freespecial only score 5 hits maximum. In this shot both Athenas scored around 40 hits. This because the attack has 'Fastattack 1' set and the 2 attackboxes (from both players) overlaps on the crate.

 Test Procedure:
 - Make a decent PC who has attack with multiple hits (freespecial is best for this). Don't forget to add 'fastattack 1' in the attack animation
 - Make a decent obstacle with high HP (1000 at least). Spawn it in a level
 - Play that level with 2 players, both using same PC (one mentioned above)
 - For both PC, use that multiple hits attack on that obstacle. Try performing it at same time

11 Bikers always fall in left facing.

How to do:
-Create a stage with many bikers.
-Try to knockdown bikers from both sides and see thier fall direction.

That is bug from original Beats of Rage.

Bug related to v2.0917

- Attackboth freeze the game sometimes;

Gameplay related to v2.0917

- Anim attack down and attack up did not work like before. With openbor-v2.0691 you can perform anim attack down (or up) and perform freespecials during  attack down (up) animation and you can perform anim attack down (up) during any animations, with v2.0917 you can't;

- Freespecials are more difficult to perform during anim attacks right now. I don't no if you have to wait longer between one animation to perform another, but if you like to attack like mad and do some freespecials to increase your combo, you'll probably notice that gameplay issue.

[Bloodbane]

lagarto please post test procedure to test the bugs you're posting. And also the last bug has already been posted by me. The real bug is 'Commands can't be entered while an attack is played'.

 

6. Enemies who is spawned onscreen will immediately appear instead of falling down.

 I've discovered that this bug doesn't occur in levels with direction up or down. I'll fix my bug report above related to this.

 Oh yes, another bugs report:
1. Enemies with subtype arrow can't hurt obstacles anymore. Previously they can.

 Test Procedure:
 - Make a decent enemy with subtype arrow. Add attackbox in idle animation so it could hit heroes
 - Make a level with obstacles and spawn that enemy so it will hit them. One obstacle is good enough but more is better
 - Do the enemy hit them or just pass through?

2. Enemies with subtype arrow has limited spawn range now. Previously they can be spawned normally with x coords more than 500 or less than -100 but now the former cause the enemy to be killed while the latter pushes the spawn coords to the right.

 Test Procedure:
 - Make a decent enemy with subtype arrow, let's name it 'Arrow'. Presence of attackbox is not necessary
 - Spawn those in a level like this:

Code: [Select]

spawn Arrow
flip    1
coords -100 195
at 0

spawn Arrow
flip    1
coords -200 195
at 0

spawn Arrow
flip    1
coords -300 195
at 0

spawn Arrow
flip    0
coords 400 215
at 0

spawn Arrow
flip    0
coords 510 215
at 0

spawn Arrow
flip    0
coords 600 215
at 0 (Any z coords will do)
 - Pay attention to the ones coming from left (x < 0). Are they spawned close or with some distance apart?
 - Pay attention to the ones coming from right (x > 320). Are all of them spawned or just one?

3. Energycost + nocost don't work well with projectiles. If nocost 1 is set and energycost is given on attack animation which shoots projectile, HP won't be depleted even if the projectile hits something.

 Test Procedure:
 - Make a decent PC with a freespecial that shoots projectile. Set 'energycost' in the animation. Any value aside from 0 will do
 - Play that PC and perform that freespecial so its projectile hits something (enemy or obstacle)
 - Does PC's HP depleted after projectile hits?

[Bloodbane]

This one is related to new feature in ver.20917

* Biker's speed has no effect when they are spawned from left and when they are playing pain animation.

 Test Procedure:
 - Make 2 decent biker enemies. Set one of bikers's speed 10 while the other doesn't use any 'speed' setting. Any speed will do but let's use 10. Don't give attackbox for easy test but give bbox.
 - Spawn both from left (x < 0). Don't attack them!
 - Pay attention to them, do they 'walk' at same speed when they enter screen?
 - If you let them be, you can see that they have different speed
 - Knock the one with 'speed 10' (the slowest one)
 - Pay attention to him/her, does he/she 'walk' with same speed or not?

OK, I am way behind on this.

If you guys wouldn't care, please recheck your bug posts and highlight the ones that are still active and I'l try and get them centraly archived for SX. I normaly check bugs first before I post, but there is no way I can get through all this stuff.

Thanks,

MCW, I went over these and got varying results. I meant for you to recheck, not just copy/paste. Please see below.

1. Is not a bug at all and just a product of the way the engine works. Enemies attack players with upper above them, they are supposed to do that; it just so happens to be a quirky thing that can happen when you drop in. It's not really practical to try and code the AI to distinguish when you are spawning, so just use invinisbility or a spawn animation that has no bbox and be done with it.

2. I haven't tested this, but I'm not sure why you call it a bug. Sounds more like a preference issue to me; but whatever.

3. Can't reproduce this and multiple projectiles are NOT a problem. See here: http://lavalit.com:8080/forum/index.php?topic=378.msg4610#msg4610

6. This I can confirm. Stars don't in fact respond to ANY header command and always come out at a predetermined height and speed. They are useless as is.

7. Confirmed. The landing midair thing actually would be neat if brought under control, but the rest is a severe gameplay affecting issue.

8. Can't be reproduced, but I might be missing something. Can some one else try this one out?

9. Can't be reproduced; I've tried that one over and over. The closest I get is that your charge attack will come out when the combo is over if the last attack is long, and that's hardly a bug.

10. Confirmed. It's rare, but it does happen.

11. Untested.

 Everybody, about 1st bug MCW posted in this bug. The real cause of it is player is in jumping state when he/she is respawned. I'm not sure how player always use last frame of jump frames when he/she is falling though.
 This cause 2 things, 1st the bug MCW mentioned and 2nd player can perform jumpattacks while being respawned. 'makeinv' solve the 1st one well while the 2nd... well I'll leave it as it is. Maybe it's useful to get rid of enemies standind close to player while respawning.
 If this is going to be fixed, that jumping state must be changed to other state where player fall but not in jumping state.

 About #3, I haven't got this case anymore since I moved energycost to projectiles text. But the one shot only limitation is deliberate. It's coded so players can't shoot with HP less than required cost while a shot is still flying.

 About #9, I know this bug but I can't figure out what actually cause it. Method MCW posted is probably one way to get it but I'm guessing it has nothing to do with CHARGEATTACK cause I found that bug although I never use CHARGEATTACK.

 About #11, it's an old bug. You can play original BoR to test it.

 If there's newer release, I'll recheck the bugs I've posted. I'm going to check 8th bug from MCW post.

Yes, I have solve it by using 'makeinv' but I would like to know that it can be fixed or not.

You have say it before, the 'nocost' that limit the player anim special projectile but the first release v2.0691 is work fine. Why can't it be fix like previous?

About #9, I know this bug but I can't figure out what actually cause it. Method MCW posted is probably one way to get it but I'm guessing it has nothing to do with CHARGEATTACK cause I found that bug although I never use CHARGEATTACK.

Does your character have 2 combo hits in anim attack2? I am not very sure.

Because the character that I have try most time the bug happen is the character that use projectile as anim chargeattack.

About #11, it's an old bug. You can play original BoR to test it.

 If there's newer release, I'll recheck the bugs I've posted. I'm going to check 8th bug from MCW post.

Yes I know it was an old school bug, but can it be fixed?
