Third Act Beta! - SOTW 0.8.38

[jack1974]

Another user reported the same problem, I'm checking it now (he sent a savegame to test). It used to work so I'm not sure what has changed!

[jack1974]

OK found it, I have added a condition so that you must have at least fought the ants ONCE, because later in the story in the steamy tunnels there's a reference to them.
Before, you could skip Rowinda's quest but then how did the party knew about the ants?
The problem is if you loaded an old save just past that point, for example Riley or Chalassa's quests, where that variable was false So you should go back to that part of the story to be able to continue... unfortunately I can't change this, because then we would have the plot bug again about the ants.

I think it works fine since I know people who replayed the game from act1, and they reached act3. So this bug can happen only in this particular situation (continuing a save from act2 after Jariel and Rowinda intro, after the ants quest).

ROFL, I was complaining about the smoke from the volcanos in the nitpicking thread and as soon as I get to the island in my newest game... THE VOLCANOS ARE GONE!


EDIT: Oh, the camp and the green arrow are gone, too. Maybe you disabled both the volcanoes and the camp for Hard/NM? (v0.8.27.)

[jack1974]

Ahh I see the problem. For some intricate coding I have done (hack, also known when you have no time to plan a game but you hurry coding like a madman day after day) the volcanoes are linked to the appearance of the green arrow. Since in Hard/NM the green arrow is gone, the volcanoes are gone too Will change that!

Then in that case, where do you fight the ants aside from the time in the bath house? Because I've never ran into the ants aside from that one time.

[fabulaparva]

On the day Yeldin gave you time off. It's the same day when you meet up with Jariel. There should be a red arrow on the map screen with only one shop (one North from the arena, I think it's the "neutral zone")

[FireSeraph]

That's weird. I remember clicking on every single arrow at that point but I've never gotten the ant fight before and I've played through Act 2 twice. Oh well...back to the start again I guess.

[jack1974]

Yes that's why I added that requirement, it was easy to miss it completely. Is in the neutral area on the right part of the screen, green arrow. It's where people are betting on the insects fights

Spoiler:

Since the arrows fade in and out, it might not even be "this obvious."

[yayswords]

I knew you both got the goddamn arrow color wrong
