Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Ackermanus on December 28, 2009, 11:51:56 am Here is a list of major issues I've fixed so far (and didn't forget to write down):
Nice job, congratulations. By the way, the arena master fix fixed my game crashing at the imperial guards dialog. One question: By fixing the whirlwind exploit, did you also fix the counter attack exploit? (Same trick: Have whirlwind attack selected when you end your turn, and with a one-handed weapon you can counter attack diagonaly). Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Nick on December 28, 2009, 11:58:15 am Yes, both interrupt attack and opportunity attack now always use the range of "normal attack" mode.

Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: 陈瑞思 on December 28, 2009, 06:49:16 pm It would be super cool to know where to go to get these fixes. Like this arena master fix I hear about and even located once via the RPG Codex, but was unable to download because it's on rapidshare and I'm not a premium member.
Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Vince on December 28, 2009, 06:50:31 pm It's coming soon. Needs to be tested first.
Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Nick on December 28, 2009, 06:52:27 pm If you go to "download links" topic in this subforum, you'll find more links to that fix. The rest will go public in 24 hours with a new build, if everything is fine.

Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Nick on January 07, 2010, 11:03:32 am Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: galsiah on January 07, 2010, 03:37:42 pm Fixed: "Have a skill maxed at 300, for example, swords. Equip a sword that give a bonus, like a gladius, and it will allow you to "add" points to the skill (but in reality those points are wasted, since the skill stays at 300). It shouldn't allow you to do that." What is the intended behaviour here? I'd have thought that it makes sense to have the bonus remain meaningful - i.e. effectively give an over-300 skill value. Just because you have the natural skill value capped at 300, doesn't mean it makes sense to cap the adjusted skill value at 300 too - in fact I'd say just the opposite. If you get +10 for a gladius, a 300-skill character ought to have an effective skill of 310; if you add +10%, he should have an effective skill of 330. Limiting everything to 300 both fails to make sense, and is probably less interesting - since there's no longer the usual balancing trade-off in using a lighter weapon.Of course it's right to fix a bug where the character sheet is misinforming the player. I just think the character sheet had it right in this case - the game system ought to be changed so that adjusted skill values can be over 300. I can't see any downside to doing this.

I'm fairly certain that he was saying that they only fixed the bug allowing players to add points to an over-capped skill, not that they removed the ability for bonuses to push you up to 305 or 310 or whatever. The "stays at 300" part meant skill pre-equipment bonus, not post-bonus. Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Nick on January 07, 2010, 03:52:43 pm The skill was always capped at 300, with bonuses or not. The problem was that if you had 300 natural + some bonus, you could keep pumping SPs into it, but it didn't give any effect.
Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: galsiah on January 07, 2010, 04:22:46 pm Ok. So (do excuse me if I'm being slow), does that mean that a 300-skill character doesn't get an advantage from using a +10 skill weapon? This bug aside, isn't that silly?
Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Nick on January 07, 2010, 04:27:07 pm Discussable. Talk to Vince about that.
Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Oscar on January 07, 2010, 05:41:13 pm Ok. So (do excuse me if I'm being slow), does that mean that a 300-skill character doesn't get an advantage from using a +10 skill weapon? This bug aside, isn't that silly? He does get the advantage if there's also a penalty to attack. I'm not to keen on stats/attributes going over the max, though. You can't have more than 10 in attribute, and you can't get over 300 in a stat. It's the limit of the humanly possible. But let me hear your arguments. Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: galsiah on January 07, 2010, 07:05:29 pm The argument is simply that he isn't going over 300 in the stat: using a gladius doesn't mean he's any more skilled with a sword, only that he gets a +10 in all checks of that skill. That might be functionally equivalent, but it has a clearly different meaning. This isn't a magical gladius that's giving him supernatural abilities - it's simply a sword that's easier to use, so he gets better results in situations where the skill gets used.
Really it doesn't make a great deal of sense to put the weapon bonus on the character sheet in the first place: a character with 100 sword skill using a gladius, still has 100 sword skill. The reaction against having the skill go over 300, comes out of treating the character-sheet value as the character's natural ability. If that's the case, it shouldn't be adjusted according to the weapon he carries. If the character sheet isn't representing natural ability, but rather how-effective-this-character-is-at-sword-skill-checks, then there's no reason not to have it go over 300: a character using an easier sword should have an advantage when he has 300 skill, just as he does against an inferior opponent; an over-300-skill in this case isn't saying anything about the character's natural ability - simply that he's got 300 skill, and an easy-to-use sword. The same kind of argument also applies to the stat case, but there it's less clear, since you can come up with some magicy/techy reason why some weird armour can't increase very high abilities to super-human levels. With a gladius, there's no hope of a convincing argument to that effect. A gladius doesn't increase sword skill, it just makes the sword skill a character has go further. Having it arbitrarily stop doing this at skill 300 is just nonsense. Naturally it's not a huge issue either way, but I don't see any argument for the way things are now. A character shouldn't get over 300 in a stat - fine: he's not; he's getting an contextual bonus on a stat roll, just as he might for reduced-range / reduced-opponent-defence / opponent-being-knocked-out / opponent-being-bolaed etc. etc.. Holding a gladius has nothing to do with his natural sword skill. Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: 34s Cell on January 07, 2010, 07:12:35 pm The way I see it, the bonus represents the ease at which a rookie can wield the weapon, thus making no difference when used by a master.
Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: galsiah on January 07, 2010, 07:52:58 pm It makes:
Of course there's no need to rationalize it if there's some good gameplay-based argument for capping everything at 300, regardless of whether it makes sense. I don't see such an argument. In fact, I think it makes things worse gameplay-wise: if the +10 was helpful to balance through 100, 200 and 250 skill, it's almost certainly helpful to balance at 300 skill. Eliminating the +10 for a weapon once skill hits 300 is only likely to throw balance off, and make choices less interesting. [[of course it should be noted here that the recent THC changes have made a flat point bonus to skill, progressively less important for increasing skill values; perhaps that's good, perhaps not; but whether a gladius provides +10, +10%, or something different, having its effect magically disappear at 290-->300, is nonsense - and probably unhelpful to gameplay, if anything]] Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Vince on January 07, 2010, 09:26:08 pm +10 for gladius means simply that the sword is easier to wield than larger swords. One can argue that at some a swordsman reaches the level of mastery where he can wield all swords equally easy and with great precision, no longer getting any benefits from wielding a smaller weapon.
Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: galsiah on January 07, 2010, 11:01:08 pm Sure, but that argument still looks pretty silly when the impact doesn't reduce at all from 30 to 290, then suddenly disappears. Again, I find the argument incongruous, but I also don't see any gameplay-based reason to prefer limiting adjusted-skill to 300. The +10 makes weapon choice more interesting; removing it makes things a bit less interesting. The current situation also creates an odd incentive for a gladius-user not to bother mastering the skill - since he's already effectively mastered it by using a gladius.
The only advantage I can see to keeping things as they are is the idea that a 300 limit is somehow neater, but I'd disagree with that too: the weirdness of disappearing-gladius-bonus just draws attention to an odd situation, and creates counter-intuitive incentives - e.g. for a gladius-user to stop increasing skill at 290. To me, this makes achieving the 300 limit less special, since reaching the limit doesn't mean you've mastered the skill - it means you've either mastered it, or you've almost mastered it, picked up a gladius, and realized you had nothing more to learn (until you put the gladius down). "Higher-skill-improves-performance-with-the-skill" is a very simple and intuitive rule for players to understand and apply. Needlessly screwing with it at the almost-300-skill end of things seems silly. There's nothing wrong with limiting natural skill to 300 - the limits-of-human-possibility reasoning works well there, and makes perfect sense. Arbitrarily limiting the combination of the context, and the skill, makes no sense. Removing the bonus for a gladius at 300 is as silly as removing the bonus for a fast attack (which I hope doesn't happen??). Again, I don't see any reason to list weapon-based skill adjustments on the character sheet. It'd be fine just to have unadjusted skill listed, and for the player to know that using certain weapons gives him bonuses on skill checks with the related skill. It's not as though the skill impact on THC is straight-forward anymore, so knowing the adjusted skill value for a given check isn't particularly relevant. To me it'd make sense if the weapon-bonus didn't count towards passive traits anyway (though that's arguable, of course). That's the only way I can see that listing the adjusted value even helps at the moment. [I remain aware that this has vanishingly little significance either way - I just don't see the upside] Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: 34s Cell on January 08, 2010, 12:09:18 am Try thinking of it as a percentage bonus that steadily decreases as you upgrade the skill: at 30 it's 25% and 290 its a 3%, so it doesn't "suddenly disappear" but gradually becomes less useful.
By the way, is it possible to increase your skill to 300 when it's under a penalty, as to remove said penalty, like a master at dodging in heavy armour? Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Oscar on January 08, 2010, 12:24:38 am By the way, is it possible to increase your skill to 300 when it's under a penalty, as to remove said penalty, like a master at dodging in heavy armour? No, the base cannot be increased beyond 300. If you want no penalty, use an armor that doesn't hamper your movement. Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: erbgor on January 08, 2010, 12:27:29 am I'm with Galsiah here, the bonus should be applied at max skill, too. If the gladius is a bit easier to use, this shoud apply for a master as well. Makes equipment choice more interesting.
I'm with it either way, though, the only way I don't like is not showing the bonus in the character screen (once it goes past max value), but still applying it in the to hit calculations. Some games have this. Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: hilf on January 08, 2010, 05:01:12 am I fully agree with galsiah. I can`t add much more to what he said so I`ll just quote stuff I especially agree with:
Quote from: galsiah In fact, I think it makes things worse gameplay-wise: if the +10 was helpful to balance through 100, 200 and 250 skill, it's almost certainly helpful to balance at 300 skill. Eliminating the +10 for a weapon once skill hits 300 is only likely to throw balance off, and make choices less interesting. Quote It makes: 10 points of difference at skill 30. 10 points of difference at skill 290. 0 points of difference at skill 300. There's just no way you can rationalize that without appealing to magic. Quote from: 34s Cell Try thinking of it as a percentage bonus that steadily decreases as you upgrade the skill: at 30 it's 25% and 290 its a 3%, so it doesn't "suddenly disappear" but gradually becomes less useful. But at slvl 300 it should also be 3% but is 0%.With new CTH formula skill values over 300 shouldn`t break balance, because the higher skill lvl is, the lesser benfits are. Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: catmorbid on January 08, 2010, 05:25:06 am I agree with galsiah on this, and hilf also said the why. The skill level only sets the limits of the character's mastery, the limit to human ability. Exactly as abilities are maxed at 10. In my opinion, this should never rule out the possibility of external modifiers, that somehow break these rules of nature. This is one thing I hated about fallout: power armor didn't affect your strength in anyway, if you already had 10 str, while I think it should have.
It's the same thing here, with the skills and different skill modifiers from equipment. I don't see why the gladius would suddenly become less accurate when you reach the ultimate level of mastery. It doesn't really make much sense. Since there are not magic items or spells or whatever that could buff the character to great extent, I don't really see why the ability/skill cap should be the absolute cap, if there would be something to temporarily modify them over the maximum. Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: ninjelephant on January 08, 2010, 10:07:29 am +1 for Galsiah.
If you have a swordsman with 200 skill and give him a rusty, old, cracked gladius or a brand new, out of a shop gladius he will be more deadly with the later one. And this is like you say that THAT wouldn't make a difference for a master swordsman with 300 skill. (well kinda, not an exact comparison but still..) Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Oscar on January 08, 2010, 10:10:09 am What's really funny is that not many people will reach 300 in a weapon skill in the game (looking at the builds in the demo, they don't even reach it there), and when they do, 10 points more or less isn't going to make any difference at all.

Sure, it's really a tiny issue - I don't think I've got an attack skill close to 300 while I've been playing (or I'd have been grumbling earlier :)). I just think the current setup is on the wrong side of the tiny issue. Small gameplay downside; small that's-nonsense downside; upside??It also might be a significant annoyance to any player who's crafted/acquired a good gladius, spent ages gaining skill points and pumping them into sword, only to get a moderate-and-unexpected "Fuck you" at the end when his gladius no longer provides any help. It's just needless. I'd be inclined to adjust the weapon bonus away from a fixed +10 / +5 anyway. As has been pointed out above, it becomes less and less significant over time with the new THC calculation. I doubt that's a good thing. I'd rather that weapons had e.g. +5% +10%. Alternatively, if you really do have some fetishistic attachment to 300 as overall maximum, just convert the weapon bonuses to penalties: Gladius -0%, Handar -5%, Scimitar -10% etc.. That way everyone is happy (until they realize the same thing is going on with block).

Finally, I got some time and downloaded the Enhanced Edition today and it worked. Yay! But my happiness was short-lived. Why the fuck am I unable to increase any of my weapon skills for my STR 10, DEX 10 char even after the 4th fight? I can increase other skills (Dodge etc) but when I click on + to increase, say, Spear, my available sp disappear with each click but nothing changes in the left column. Moreover, my agile light-armored char (12 AP) can use hasta (3 AP so he gets 3 normal attacks per round) only. With a heftier spear (6 AP) in hand he just stands around and no amount of clicking makes him attack his opponent even once. And no, the game does not say, "you don't have enough AP", in case you assume I am a total TB combat noob. It does not say anything at all. These are the game breaking bugs, gentlemen.
I also dislike the RB click for movement - RB should be reserved for something else, e.g. description of items, status, "cancel command" etc. As is, it is unintuitive and frustrating. I lost lots of turns because of this. Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Nick on January 08, 2010, 12:26:19 pm Quote These are the game breaking bugs, gentlemen.

That suggestion out of the way, I do agree with him on the issue at hand. Like everyone else, I have nothing further to add to strengthen his point. :salute: Quote I refuse to read any manuals and combat tactics walkthroughs on principle. This is absurd. What principle leads one to take this approach? I'd just roll my eyes and move on, but the truth is I've seen this advanced as an "argument" that a game's mechanics or interface are subpar in the past. Ellorien is not alone here.Yes, a user interface should be as intuitive as possible, and there's no good reason not to fit it out with helpful tooltips. Yes, a game should have a robust in-game help system of some kind. And yes, a solid printed manual should absolutely be par for the course. But no, a game should not be so self evident about every aspect of its design and gameplay that one should be considered reasonable for ignoring the instructions while complaining of its opaqueness.

You should select one weapon as primary and put all points into that weapon and either Dodge, CS, or Block. Meaning, one weapon skill and one ability out of those three. Dividing skill points over two skills will get you your ass handed back back to you in some interesting and sometimes humiliating ways. At first. And maybe that "glitch" is due to something like that? Or wearing armor which negatively affects some skills. Happened to me.

Sometimes i also enjoy discovering the "right approaches" in some games without reading the manuals or any readmes - Like Fallouts which i played for years without knowing how mechanics and numbers work besides what i could see directly through the gameplay -But i agree with fosse to extent that you cannot reasonably expect for mechanics of a RPG to be totally self evident and understandable just by looking at the interface. Helpful tooltips will be added anyway, i gather - and other enhancements, since this is a working beta in a way still. Improvements are ongoing!

Just need transparent background. Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: Ellorien on January 08, 2010, 03:12:01 pm Quote Can you record a little video to illustrate your problem? There is no need - I just chose the weapon which I overlooked due to the tiny font on my high res screen. I quickly beat everyone up to Nicander using the simplest spear (barbari only on the second try though because of my accidental clicking the right mouse button) and almost killed Nicander (we both were almost dead) but he got lucky first. Oh well. My main concern is somewhat unintuitive interface. Oh, and I haven't read the survival guide. I read only printed manuals and only when I need particular info. You guys overestimate the "knowledge of mechanics" stuff. Title: Re: Fixed issues Post by: caster on January 08, 2010, 03:28:35 pm So...what happened with the game breaking bug?
Skill points working?

Skill points working? 'twas no game breaking bug, I owe Nick an apology. Still, this "synergy" sp distribution is strange: if I choose to raise one skill without any prior selection of a primary weapon, why does the game not allow me to do so? Btw, killed that Nicander fellow right away with fast attack only (with hasta). He managed to strike me only once (during interrupt). My char's name is Dodgy Bob.

I usually jump straight in without reading anything, as well, but when I can't figure out how to do something I'll look it up or ask instead of blaming the game...call it old school.

Could someone please expand on this one. I know that the formula is linked to the throwing skill (+TS/10) but I got the impression that it is more complicated? I wonder how it is done. It sounds logical to link it to the throwing skill, but by doing so it kinda contradicts the whole stereotype of a bad-ass gladiator with a trident in one hand and a net with another... i.e. it would end up used by throwing builds together with throwing knifes etc. |
