Re: Patch 1.0.1

Post by Thehotdogman »

Not sure if this is/was an issue or not, but i'm with PDX and the Goats, and i killed Abom on a whim, and i got a goals updated message. I figured, alright i probably finished a mission out of order, no biggie? I finish the spyware mission, and Dark Templar tells me that i got rid of the goats' arch enemy and i should go to him for details. I do (he's standing outside in front of the water fountain), and no conversation happens, he just has barks of seeing the light and such. Did i break something?

Some more bugs:
TNM is very well designed and gives a multiplitude of possible responses to whatever you do, but it's pretty clear they never had a truly psychopathic person run through it and add responses to that :D.
* For example if you ban both Scara and Ryan and then blow the LEET's, and exit the station (no Kylie) you get the Ryan ending (I banned you!!!) and the "Trestkon takes over the world WC denouncement"
* Going back after Midashand landed at the ATC and he will still be in the slums (nice that you can go there instead of killing people though, I didn't thought that an option because killing was the main goal!). Although when you say "later" there his convo repeats instead of going to "ready" and then the options. Also, kill Midashand, then go to the ATC. He's still there in the chopper! (you will still crash in ABI though).
* You can escape from PDX through Despot's Apartment if you kill someone (also, why no PM if done on level2, you can use the same VO since "down there" can mean down the hall as well as a whole level down?). Of course this can mess up things insanely.

And some bugs that require non-radical ideas :D.
* Would it be possible to disable saving during Radish Adventure or when you killed in PDX/Scara? For the less 2 to prevent loss of progress if you happen to save afterwards, in the first case because saving and loading there really doesn't work.
* Going back into the sewers from the ATC and Midhishand's PM has the wrong VO ("Hey Trestkon, where are you going!? Come back here, we need to go to ABI!" says "SatCom says the area is clear. I am coming in (or something like that)".
* ATC-stuff. Because it would be a pain to describe stuff I ghosted a image from above and added all the relevant information there:

Well we tried, but there are like 20 different ways to be psychopathic, and we only had one kill-everybody playthrough of each storyline, very late in development. Also one of them wasn't finished in time for release.

Already been reported and fixed.

Actually this is because you only get a PM if Kashue is on another floor from where you are, because otherwise you might shoot somebody when you're standing right next to Kashue, and it'll make no sense that he sends you a PM.

Uhm aren't we already doing that in PDX? I know for a fact we're doing it with Scara. Did you actually try it? Good idea to do it in the Radish Adventure too though.

But if you shoot someone far away it suddenly turns into combat music. I knew why, but others might be not so knowing ;). Can't there be a radius check added for level 2 (I am not that good in coding). Too far: PM. Close: a Combat VO line?

Well, haven't actually checked for Scara, but I could save just fine during PDX slaughtering (level 2).

Uh... possibly, but it's probably way more work than it's worth.

Okay well that's a fairly bad bug then, I'll make sure it's fixed in time for 1.0.2. And FYI, saving is disabled properly for Scara. I checked.

Ummm this is a bug report thread. The point was to confirm Rice can stay friendly, and I provided a means for others to replicate it in fewer trials.

He can stay friendly "if you cheat" (which pretty much makes it pointless in a bugreport kind of way.)
Unless you of course mean he stayed friendly in a non-cheatway, telling us it's possible and then provide with a mean to pass this nasty bug (like offering killall TNMDoberman to folks)?

Sounds like we cannot expect 1.0.2 to be released today?! :? *mewls to arouse pity*

No, we uh... have something secret going on that may or may not pan out, but we need a few extra days to arrange things.

It's not the most amazing thing ever, but it's fairly neat, anyway. We've actually just been mailed what we needed, so the patch may yet be out today, I'm just working on making the patch compatible with both 1.0.0 AND 1.0.1, which should make things simpler for people.
