Hello friends!

The Release Candidate is on the dropbox .

There are still some issues to fix here and there that I know of, but it should be playable correctly. Please report bugs on the debuggle tracker. If anyone wishes to take part in the final round of tests and doesn't have access to either dropbox or debuggle, pm me for links.

Yay, this is almost there!

I don't have any time to test it today, but I'll give it a thourough look tomorrow.

EDIT:
Ofcourse I couldn't resist and did take a look anyway.

When I entered the main hallway, it looked incomplete.
- the chains are there, but they're not attached to a piece of stone
- there are no floors visible above or below

I put a screenshot in the dropfolder to illustrate it. It's called weird_hallway_in_rc.jpg.
I did use quicksave/quickload and regular save and load before I entered the hallway, that might be the cause?

You have to play it linearly; no cutting through walls. It's an optimization feature of the map... much of it gets erased when not [assumed] visible to the player; and loaded on demand as the player gets close enough to see it. If you run around in the editor, clipping the walls at will, much of it wll be absent ~and it's not impossible that the editor might crash in certain areas/situations.

There is a crash at the moment when leaving my room that has been introduced in the Release Candidate. If you are playing through the release candidate, please just bring up the console and type the following at any point before leaving my room to fix this...

Code: Select all

spawn("timer", 1,1,1,1, "jw_room_timer");

Enjoy!

I played from the .DAT file, not through the editor.

Found out what the issue is...

Once you complete spiderfighter's room (by placing the potion on the corpse) you get teleported just outside his room. If you turn right into the "central area" you get the bug that I reported.
If you travel 1 square in the direction of the first room (the prison room) and then to the central area, everything works just fine.

I put a savegame in dropbox called "savegame04_mahric_central_area_bug.sav" so you can reproduce it yourself.
If anyone needs more input let me know.
