Bug: Bug Thread: Discussion

Sounds like a bug we had in dom2, where linux host and windows client gave us wrong battle reviews.

Is it equal discribed in the dom2 thread above?

Save and quit when connected to the server actually uploads the 2h file even though the warning message says it will not upload.

This can cause problems when the server is on quick host and you are the last player to take his turn. It can cause premature end turns.

I guess just changing the warning message would be handy.

It's possible, but to find out for sure, we need to know what systems people are running on. Regardless, it seems unlikely since my opponent says he saw the same thing I did, so the source of the bug is more likely to be the server than an inconsistency based on the difference between server and player OS's. Although I suppose I really don't understand this OS-based bug, since someone in D2 claims to have seen it in SP?


I'm running 3.06 on a Mac. DrPraetorius, what system is the server running?

Terrel, my opponent, says he saw pretty much the same thing I did. I'll try to get him to comment here with any additional details from his side, especially what OS he's using!

Its like Ewierl said, I saw the same thing he did, so that doesn't sound like the OS bug to me. FWIW, I'm running WinXP.

I'm also running Windows XP, dominions version 3.06.

Units revived via Ritual of Rebirth who were thousands of years old at the time of their death (even if they were not old!) result in a mummy with old age.

The starting age for the mummy should be 0 (it was just created), or the maxage should be 1000 + the base age of the creature being revived.

[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Bug.gif[/img] the war shamblers for a mercenary group are described as having a shark skin armor (and the sprite seems inded to wear something), but the War shamblers have no armor.

The same unit (War Shambler) is a ME Atlantis recruitable; again description mentions sharkskin armor, sprite has the armor, unit doesn't have armor.

Spelling errors: PD should be called Defense, not Defence in the map screen. There's no fence in Defense. There is no such word as Shamen - it's called Shamans in english, too. It is not a man from Sha or something, so you can't build the plural like that.
I got lots of other spelling errors, but I don't know if I should list all of them?

Bug: It is possible to assign "Corrupt Commander" and "Seduce enemy Commander" actions to other units who don't have the necessary skill to do so. This should have already been reported, otherwise ask me via PM how to reproduce it.

Bug: The hero Sköge has only the name "Sk" when you get him. In his description it is correctly listed as "Sköge".

I am fairly certain that for every map that you randomly generate, the computer "forgets" to assign neighbors for at least one province, so that this province only gains neighbors through adjacent provinces which reference it. But I haven't been doing extensive enough testing on that.

Defence is the British spelling, so most of the world spells it that way.
