Awesome thanks, it worked. I didn't see that note, perhaps I missed it. I did find two blank notes inside that room though, were they supposed to be blank or is that a glitch?

I player original EOB2 20 years ago, and I'm just revisiting the experience, but with better graphics! Thank you a lot for this effort, I hope I could finish it, because is as dificult as the original.

I have a question. I'm right now a the first encounter with bees... I can remenber what I did with the green gem (i think i transformed a blue in green some days ago) but i can't find it. Is it critical to open the 3 colors door? Or i can continue? because i suposse i lost it in some place of the dungeon i can't recall where... or maybe i will find a green gem later?

Thanks a lot.

-- Script: entitesAt and allEntities Fix
-- Version: 0.9b

-- Author: John Wordsworth, newAllEntities improved by Diarmuid
--
-- Provides a fix for the bug in Legend of Grimrock 1.3.7 where the entitiesAt()
-- and allEntities() methods will simply stop returning objects in a for loop if 
-- they hit a 'Map Marker' entity in the level. This means that if the user has 
-- placed a Map Marker on the level, allEntities will almost definitely fail, where

--
-- Usage: Drop this into a script_entity called 'fix' in your dungeon.
-- From then onwards, call 
--   fix.newEntitiesAt(level,x,y)
-- and 
--   fix.newAllEntities(level)
-- instead of the standard methods in your code.

-- This entitiesAt method fixes the bug. The built-in iterator returns nil when it hits a map
-- marker, but the iterator itself still exists and is able to continue. So we simply keep
-- the underlying iterator object around and try to iterate over it twice if we hit a nil object.
-- This works on the assumption that you can only ever have one map marker in a space (so we only
-- have to skip 1 nil entry).

function newEntitiesAt(level, x, y)
   local it = entitiesAt(level, x, y);
   
   return function()
      local e = it();
      
      if ( e == nil ) then
         e = it();
      end
      
      if ( e ) then
         return e;
      end
   end

This was fixed in-engine via script by John Wordsworth. It's in the OORR2 sources. It's the entitiesAt() function IIRC, it chokes on a user note object when found in the cell.
If that's what's causing the problem, this script fixes that.

Code: Select all
