ConfluxIII Trolin attack bug?

Post by zoom »

I have witnessed a strange behaviour of Trolins
on two occasions. After they would throw a club,
they won't deactivate and get passive somehow.
It is in an area where there are monster blocking
tiles. I have a log file, if it is welcomed.

During the logfile, I stayed in front of the monsters
for quite some time. The group of trolins stayed,
did not move and when I killed one, the gap would
be closed soon and the newcomer would become
passive, too! When I save and return, Trolins enter
normal mode.
I have a savegame, too.

Could it be, that CSBwin10_029.exe is the problem?
I guess not, because it happened about 2 days ago
for the first time! The statistics get not correctly di
splayed with CSBwin10_029.exe, but it is all right

@Beo: Antman has used the address, too:
http://www.dungeon-master.com/forum/vie ... c&start=60
at first I wanted to ask zyx for it , but then found it there,
and after a second thought, thought it might do no harm
posting it as is!
:roll:
I will try to replay the file..
replay does not work, but here part of the tracelog >

you have the savegame zyx, load it and step to the right.
When the trolins appear, wait for them to throw their
clubs. Sidestep or not and they should freeze .

If you cannot reproduce the problem, perhaps
I can help.

I think it's because the log tries to open csbgame1 while zoom sent me csbgame4.
The log loads the game, but never it the "ready to play button". The mouse remains disabled since it's a replay.

Ok, i've seen the bug. I remember vaguely what may cause it. Something about cancelling distant attacks.
