Dominions II Bug Thread

[Thilock_Dominus]

Mod bug:

The command #restrictedgod X breaks #shapechange command.

I tried it 10 times now with same result.

Also #firstshape and #secondshape is not working.

Ahh, the seven eyed spider phenomenon. Actually, it is not intended, nor was I aware of it. Perhaps it is a nice feature.

I was disappointed when I saw that the affliction disappeared as a result of the shape-change. My mage had an heroic ability, so I had almost expected to have discovered the "Heroic Metabolism" ability, giving heroes recuperation and regeneration. A shame it wasn't so (it was the more common Quickness ability). Hmm, am I digressing?

I know recall what was the other bug I wanted to mention. The "Go to province" button does not work for assassination attempts (at least when you are the one trying to assassinate, I haven't checked the other way around). It instead brings you to your capital province, regardless of the status of your assassin.

More precisely, it brings you to the last province you were in, so if you press "m" and then press the "Go to province" button on the assassination attempt it will be as if you pressed the "Escape" button.

Hm. When I connect to a game, I get to select new nations, or use the same one I've been using, and I click to use the same one, then I see the display that shows who has made their move, and I click "Jotunheim" to make my move, then dom2 fades out and exits back to the Mac OS X desktop.

:-(

Things that have changed since this worked: 1. I installed some new mods. 2. I removed some maps.

I put the maps back, and it still fails. Next I'll try removing the new mods...

[update]: nope, removing the newly added mods didn't fix it.

:-(

[update]: Well, I guess it is a problem with the server. Another player has the same problem I do, but a third player does not. I restarted the server but that didn't fix it.

Start the game from the console (terminal) to see the error message that Dominions prints. It might give you a clue, otherwise post it here and it might give me a clue.

Oh, I know what caused it. I ran out of disk space on my server today.

But how to fix it?

Lamias and their black serpent form has regeneration 50 %

Sorry Kristoffer, not on my computer. See attached files from my test.
- First round, the lamia charge but 3 of them get a Gift from Heaven of 150 damage and are turned into 1hp snakes.
- 2nd round, they all route, 3 others get the big rocks but the 3 first victims have now 22hp again.
This is 100% regeneration !

Cheers

I could bring back Anthrax king of banefires, who I had made my profet, as a mummy with ritual of rebirth. He's undead so that shouldn't happen.

I also had a sole demilich use stygian paths to transport itself to an underwater province. beside having 90183 troops die, it also lost all it's equipment.

If the carrion dragon shape changes, whatever is in his headslot dissapears/gets send to lab even though it's carrion lord form also has a head slot.

I've noticed that Black Sorcerers and other such creatures whose shapechange is involuntary have a good chance of healing afflictions when they shape change back and forth. It's not just the eye criticals, disease, limp, cripple and everything else is affected too. Kaljamaha and I discovered this when we played a co-op where he was using Machaka and had a Black Sorcerer with a random water pick as a thug mopping up enemy provinces. That one must have had dozens of afflictions during the course of his career, and none of them lasted more than five turns before shapechanging got rid of them.
