Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

I have found the following things that looks like errors in the map files:

- arcoeye.map: #dominionstr is used with only one argument. This is wrong according to mapedit.pdf and flames.map use the mapedit.pdf format for this command.

- orania.map: #bodyguard instead of #bodyguards in one case.

- oraniawar.map: victorycondition without #.

- sundering.map: Another case of #bodyguard and a case of #addequip instead of #additem or #randomequip.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

I've been having a problem with the Dom2 process not ending once the window has been closed--I know the text-only mode doesn't end (for obvious reasons), but the standard execution is not ending, and it is disrupting internet access on the computer while it is in this state, but not when running normally. I'm using WinXP Home on an AMD64 processor.

My other copy of the game running on a different machine ends normally in WinXP Pro.

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

That was strange, oh mighty horror. Maybe you could run the weird Dominions with the -dd switch and attach the log plus a screenshot from your task manager (processes) here. Maybe it ends in a little while? Have you tried waiting a few minutes and checking later.

The picture of the task is attached. At this point, the game has been exited via the Quit command on the main menu. Leaving it for a few minutes does nothing. It may also be notable that at one point I experienced the temp-file conflict error that was corrected by the recent patch (which did not fix this particular problem which is merely an annoyance--killing the task works fine).

Thanks

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

I forged a winged helmet and got 2 instead of one. It's possible I already forged one and forgot, but I don't think so. Anyone else enounter a duplicate forging bug?

Re: Dominions II Bug Thread
 

Yeah, I got them. Though, now that I'm looking at the numbers, it seems I made a mistake. With income of 195, and upkeep of 24, that would make 171 gp. I got 471, so it's +300, not +200. In any event, too much. Interestingly though, the additional ammount is exactly the same as the amount spent on the mercs (I bid 200 for Ygologna and his war shamblers, they asked 150), so there might be a connection?

Re: Murder
 

Water mages carelessly cast breath of winter when there are friendly troops/commanders nearby... then the troops/commanders just stand there and die. They do this even if there are no enemies even close to them. My Arch-Devil is excessively polite with not casting his Immolation if a friendly troop/commander is nearby even if I have it in the script, but my Mictlan water mages have been murderering my commanders with their breath of winter.

Re: Murder
 

2.15 playing Oceana.

Ctis cast the hateful Burden of Time and I needed to exit the water so I went after Ctis. Killed the false pretender then conquered all his territories. I see the death message for Ctis but Burden of Time is still up and hateful.

Re: Murder
 

The caster of Burden of Time never died, so the spell stays up.

Re: Murder
 

The nation of Ctis is gone from the world. That would seem to imply that the caster is dead.

Plus I did kill the God of Ctis who was the only Ctis caster I saw that could actually cast the spell.
