Feedback on Those Sweet (and Bitter)Skills --Act 2

[jack1974]

Ah I set it to not work on bosses, so wasn't working even before (on bosses). But doesn't make sense to limit that, since is the only party skill to use that feature and besides 30hp is not much. Will fix it now.

Nightmare: Stagger on opponents makes no difference aside from unlocking some moves?

[jack1974]

Uhm somehow the usual penalty with stagger doesn't work anymore. Wonder what happened since I didn't touch it in last 2 months. Probably some side-effect of other changes. Will look into it now...

[yayswords]

Now you see why I ask about things you didn't touch getting changed anyway :D

[jack1974]

Well and now you see why I want to finish it and not add "feature 481763891278912th" because in programming when you do a change by Murphy's Law you break something else. So every new feature=10 new bugs assured
Anyway I think the stagger was broken even in previous version!

[yayswords]

It might very well have been. I only just started paying attention to what happens to stats when you stagger opponents

(check your inbox for more fun )

Like I've said before though... I don't think I need to be buffed, and improving stagger vs. enemies is buffing me

[jack1974]

OK now I remember... I changed those modified LOOONG time ago because they were making the battles too easy. The penalty is still applied in the Easy mode, and on the party, but not on the enemies. So is not a bug, but a tweak I made really a long time ago (I forgot until I found the code and then I remembered).
I can still change it, but remember that all the versions in the last month or two used those settings, and if I change it, battles will be easier in Hard/Nightmare

[jack1974]

I got your saves, but if they were from a previous version then obviously don't load?

[jack1974]

Ah wait, you saved in current version and then tried to load? uhm then if I solve this all old saves might be compatible, going to look

[yayswords]

Those were saved in .15. I thought .16 was supposed to be a transition build to prepare for a new RenPy version without breaking saves? 'cause I have .15 saves that load fine in .16.

I checked with a total of 11 .15 saves, and 5-6 of them loaded fine. One that failed had a pretty exotic error message...

Spoiler:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 322, in __call__
renpy.load(fn)
Exception: Couldn't find a place to stop rolling back. Perhaps the script changed in an incompatible way?

It's from talking to Rowinda and deciding whether or not I'll ask Chalassa to lose on purpose.
