Gate Stone

calmon, besides kicking backside and taking names, you rock. This is the sort of stuff we need to get issues sorted out.

Bloody good work!

Bug found!

I were stupid not seeing it before. After some further tests i finally found the problem:

It all depends on your research!

If your nation researched 'Call of the Wild' (Conjuration 3) the Soulstone of the Wolves works perfect.

If your nation researched 'Astral Travel' (Thaumaturgy 9) the Gates Stone works perfect.

If not: It will not work!

I'm not sure there are other items with the same problem, maybe some further tests are needed.

However this should be in the bug list, i don't think its WAD that you've to research the spell before using it with an item.

That there thing is going into the shortlist right bloody now!

calmon, you wouldn't happen to want the position of Chief Bug Hunting Assistant?

On the contrary!

It all depends on your research!

I would say that that this was not at all an obvious dependency. I mean, maybe it would be obvious if you knew the architecture, and had access to the source code it might be obvious, but from a black box testing point of view, I think this was quite an excellent catch.

I would also say that this is a fairly huge bug, and in all likelihood you've made Johan's job a whole lot easier by tracking down the bug so specifically. Anyhow, that's just my 2 cents, but again, outstanding job!

Well done Calmon, at least we know how to use the thing now!

Strangely enough Astral WIndow from the stone sphere works regardless of research.

Maybe Astral Window is a special case since there are sites which give the ability?
