Bug: Bug Thread: Discussion

I am not sure if this is a bug or WAD.

Undead suffer afflictions from old age, despite the description of undead saying they are uneffected by old age.

This is usually not a problem but with Burden of Time up you start to see afflictions on LA ermors bishops and others with 500 max age.

It's not a problem with undeath, it's a problem with lifelessness.

The aging mechanic priority order is 1) lifeless, 2) undead, 3) demon, 4) other, so lifeless undead are considered lifeless first, undead second, and aging mechanics are applied accordingly, which is why lifeless undead do not get maxage increase from death magic, but earth magic, and also why they suffer from old age afflictions. Non-lifeless undead should be unaffected. Unfortunately, a good many undead creatures are lifeless, among them all liches and the Ashen Empire Ermorian priests.

The problem would probably go away once and for all if the priority order was changed from the current one to 1) undead, 2) lifeless, 3) demon, 4) other.

EDIT: amended last statement to probable, because I do not know for certain. Earlier unequivocal statement was a mistake on my part.

[Ska]

No one have the same problem??

[Kalkkis]

Ermorian priests are not lifeless

[Edi]

Hmm, memory playing tricks on me again, I see. Should have checked that one. In any case, I've brought it up with IW.

[Edi]

Ska, can you give a bit more detailed descriptionb of your problem with non-responsiveness? Do the shortcut keys not work, or does the problem appear in some different way? Your current description is a bit unclear, it could be interpreted in more than one way.

[Manuk]

ska, search in this very thread. I think it happened before.

[Manuk]

In a MP im in some of last turn's report messages had the question mark that ussualy goes on a deceased mage casting a spell. And without the goto commander instance.

I thought they were dead, but they were all alive. odd.

Can you restrict the search feature in this forum to a single thread? How?

Anyways, I looked in the short list and didn't see the following. You know how you're supposed to be able to scroll by moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen? When I have that option enabled, I only get to scroll in two directions, that is, north and west. To be clear, the keyboard scroll works perfectly fine, but the mouse scroll doesn't.

So, is this something that just happens to me and likely caused by a software conflict/driver update required, or has this happened to other people?

[Edi]

Mouse scrolling in all directions works just fine for me in full screen mode, but not in windowed mode.
