SOTW 0.8.24.18 - Second Act Beta!

[yayswords]

Game just froze while adjusting the slider for how many items in a stack I want to sell. Or well, I could rollback but that was it.

Let's not talk about what I was about to buy

Hm well another thing surely I didn't touch too, is built-in on renpy. Was like that since the first beta
I thought I had disabled it now that I think about it, exactly because of those problems time ago ?
Probably is better if I remove that bar completely and allow only the - / + buttons. The bar is quite bugged since Loren

[jack1974]

Just tried here, and indeed if you click and keep the button pressed to adjust the bar it freezes every time! lol now I wonder if the same happens in Loren too, since that part wasn't changed... or maybe is a new bug introduced in latest versions of renpy. Will look into that, for now just use the - / + buttons since those are safe

edit: no wait if you press ESC, you can still use it again. So freezes mometarily but pressing ESC gives you control back. Weird.

Probably related to the arrow-problems already reported... I have the Big Bad Spider-quest active, but there is no Arrow at Frozen Woods for searching the spider.

Also, the arrow that should be pointing at the trap on the lower part of the map is on the run. (The other one is pointing at the wandering snow tiger, as usual)

Spoiler:

Playing around with v0.8.24.6, this was started from scratch.

more likey related with the optimized performance of the maps - I would think Jack forgot the spider markers in his optimized POI list

[Troyen]

Well, it is supposed to be a "hard" quest...

[jack1974]

Yes that's a side effect of the map optimization thing, will look into it
Can you send me the save with the bug? I keep trying here but all works fine

[jack1974]

Thanks for the save, was really a stupid bug. Fixed it now Will upload this since some quests can't be solved with the bug!
Also, renpy coder made a new version that should improve the "screen language" (which I use thorough the game) speed. Unfortunately, there's a tradeoff: being a big update there could be compatibility issues since my games are as a matter of fact the ones that push Ren'Py to its limits, I've already encountered a lot of problems just trying to start a new game. So for now I'll wait a bit, I don't want to use it for the beta until becomes more stable (I've enough of my own bugs!).
But those concerned about speed, when I tried on Android was going much faster (the parts that worked fine).

Something's seriously wrong now. First I started playing from a v0.8.24.6 save and at the moment of level-up, I get this:

Spoiler:

Then I decided to try starting a new game and the game crashes. I restart. I get this:

Spoiler:

And at some point I get this in the traceback:

Spoiler:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I think I crashed out of the game by pressing Rollback.

[jack1974]

Ah frak, is possible that by mistake I built the update with the beta version of Ren'Py (the only possible cause of all this!). Will check it now
