Find me a bug (in General)

Find a thread that lists a bug that I didn't yet fix and let me know about it. I'll fix it. This doesn't include the paper cuts thread, though. We need to convince Lamuness that it's ok for him to work on it :)

Fix the bug/s that stops us being able to run concurrent Tournaments. ;)

Then introduce a permanent Tournament! :D

T-chars being editable after a tournament has ended if they are still in your active character window even though they are technically retired.

Also sometimes T-chars don't automatically retire themselves when the tourney has ended, which has happened a few times in the past, however I don't really have any information on how or why that occurs. The last time I actually remember it happening was during T65.

As of right now that is all I can think of.

The ability to hire minions after a T has ended is most certainly a bug

Whoa, what?

RD, I updated that thread. I'm assuming it's fixed.

Did you pull those from the known issues page GL? :P

I actually searched old forum posts for 'bugs'. ;) And linked to the known issues page as well.

I've not yet gone through them to see if they're all on the known issues page.

But it's start. ;)

Two down.

Super NS! :D

The battlelog for vampiric aura is off. The effect is 0.425 but this number means nothing.

Zhuge Liang cast Vampiric Aura on Guan Yu (0.425)

Stupid spell checker!

Not bugs per se; but hey there's a lot on that list!

Somebody doesn't know how to read the first post :P

I don't read unless someone pays me! XD

This is done only in fun, titan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFx3SZO6F2M

Just got done watching billy madison for the thousandth time xD

It's the percentage your VA casts at, and is the amount of drain you get from any hits (limited by opponent HP).

But it's always .425 GL.

It wasn't on my T85 Charcater. It depends on your VA level to damage done.

I'll retrain my old team for an example. BRB!

Base VA on a minion with 2,220 Strength and a base ES;


I'll got train it a bit. BRB.

Up to a 19K VA;

Untrained down to 3K VA;


;)

Train over 100k VA and see if you can get it below .425

it caps out at 0.425 even though my trained VA is small compared to my MPB.

Give me a big enough Weapon and STR, and its easy.

It's all related to the VA level and your damage output.

If you have a massive VA, you'll need equally massive damage output to drop it from the max cast.

I'm testing it right now GL.

Technically, the max cap should be .40, as VA should only leech 40% max, but it's one of those little things we've found out since having access to the numbers.

VA caps out at 0.425.

Post some damage/drain at 0.425 and see if the leech is 42.5% of the damage done.

also i don't drain anywhere near .425 of each of my blows.

Remember it's capped also by your opponents max HP.

Titan, would have been an asweome time to test it during T85! ;)

Me bruised Order [309,632]
Me draws strength from his weapon! [61926]
Me bruised Order [216,373]
Me draws strength from his weapon! [43274]
Me tapped Order [212,702]
Me draws strength from his weapon! [42540]


Note: I also have a MH.

So you can lower it; however it doesn't seem to be quite the right ratio. Here's a recent battle where I hit a bunch, and my VA was at around .41, which is weird because I did significantly more damage than I had VA trained.
34 / 34 / 299,013

Vampiric Aura 90,100 100,000

My only guess would be that it isn't a linear growth. I think that perhaps the number should be removed, since it is probably using your base damage in calculation since it's before battle. If it wasn't removed, I think that the number should be divided by .425 so you can get a % effectiveness showing that would look better.

Wait, if this:

Me bruised Order [309,632]
Me draws strength from his weapon! [61926]
Me bruised Order [216,373]
Me draws strength from his weapon! [43274]
Me tapped Order [212,702]
Me draws strength from his weapon! [42540]

Is with VA and MH, something is wrong.

Yeah but my VA is not fully trained, yet...

Vampiric Aura 127,998 128,849 ? ?

MPB: 442,903

Ignore those previous numbers! The opponent had DM trained and fizzled my VA...

Me bruised Hi [206,698]
Me draws strength from his weapon! [98082]
Me bruised Hi [200,747]
Me draws strength from his weapon! [94253]
Me tapped Hi [203,811]
Me draws strength from his weapon! [91646]

Yeah, it's not even the right ratio between 40% drain either.

Jolove bruised Wolf [511,664]
Jolove draws strength from his weapon! [143134]
Jolove bruised Wolf [354,206]
Jolove draws strength from his weapon! [106812]

That's with Name cast Vampiric Aura on Name (0.4165)

Should be nearly 40% drain with that ratio; but it's closer to 20%.

Zhe, perhaps the AoF, feature, is rearing it's head again.

Your last minion has an AoF, so displays of cast EDs might be showing higher than usual due to his AoF.

Titan, what team was that?

Did you face PL at all? You wouldn't be able to leech any HP from PL absorbs.

So if the PL only absorbed a portion of the hit, you'd be able to VA from the non PLed damage.

Which would account for the lower drain.

Nope, no PL, and my VA wasn't even close to the same level as my damage, it was like 30% of it. The VA effect should have been like 30%.

Also, I don't know how much more NS wants us to talk about this in the bugs thread. B/c it's not really a bug per se. It's just we're seeing something I don't think we need or are supposed to see.

VA is a complicated beast. The VA effect is different for each hit. The number displayed before battle starts is a base factor used to calculate other stuff. But, there's randomness in there, and the damage you actually deal affects it.

An Amulet of Invisibility [0] (+10) 7,080

This networth is wrong I believe.

Amulet of Invisibility, 438, AVG NW: $886,979.

Leads me to believe ~half of them are the lower networth and the rest ~1.5mil

Fixed.

Based on item overview AoJ may have same problem unless that was fixed by you at the same time.

It probably does. I think we have an item spawning issue.

Cleaned up most of the bugs you found, GL. I need Fex's help for the remainder.

Awesome!

Time to find some more, heh. ;)

The last two times I have tried to fight I have gotten this message:

Server Error
The requested URL cannot be accessed due to a system error on this server.

AOLserver/4.5.1 on http://www.carnageblender.com/

Then if I try and fight again I get:

To allow everyone fair access to the limited cpu resources, each user may only be in one fight at a time.

the first time this happened I ended up with a fight suspension - this time I have stopped trying to fight, so no official suspension but I still can't fight :(

I'm messing around. I cleared all suspensions.

I still can't battle

Server Error

The requested URL cannot be accessed due to a system error on this server.
AOLserver/4.5.1 on http://www.carnageblender.com

cleared cache, restarted browser still have it

lol, now im suspended

Fixed

not for me

"

"

just getting that every battle

lol, and im suspended again :P

Good for me now...thanks NS

:(

"Your ability to fight has been disabled for 10 minutes. Note that multiple suspensions will result in longer penalties, however you will continue to regenerate BA"

Again!

Reset, come to chat and I should be a little more responsive with the suspension resets.

I just got a fight suspension too.

I got suspended as well :(

Excitement should be over now

jeepers... I got 3 battles in before i got the cpu resource message again, going to stop before i get suspended again

Yeah same here. Can't fight more than a few times before server error and the warning I'm fighting too frequently..

Seems to work ok now.

I spoke too soon :(

Took me a bit, but I got it.

:(

No;


I miss that. ;)

I come back after about a month of not playing and I cant fight - doesnt look good does it :)

Can't fight...same error as before but it doesn't seem to be spawning the fight suspensions this time

NS you messin with the SoD again?

Server Error
The requested URL cannot be accessed due to a system error on this server.

AOLserver/4.5.1 on http://www.carnageblender.com

NS are you breaking the game for us already?

I get the same thing as the cat.

CAN'T FIGHT!!!

More changes?

No, this wasn't due to making more changes. This was due to a latent bug that I introduced a bit ago. Sorry.

NS if you want to introduce bugs to the game, can it be when we're "not" active? ^_^ The last thing we need is a bug that crashes the whole game while we want to play.

Believe me, I appreciate how destructive a bug can be. I've been affected first hand when running an NCB. I don't take the disruptions lightly. However, it's the cost of change.

To allow everyone fair access to the limited cpu resources, each user may only be in one fight at a time.
If you clicked on fight before your last one finished, you will get this error. Remember, 'your last one' could have been a challenge page, so moving to another activity is NOT safe at this point.

This is open to abuse since it's so easy to create new user accounts. Creating multiple user accounts is illegal, but rather than make that process more onerous for legitimate new users (such as by email verification, which in any case is trivial to spoof), we've chosen as the most foolproof method to additionally limit fighting on an IP address basis for non-Supporters(http://www.carnageblender.com/directory/browse-members.tcl ). This means that if you're behind a firewall that makes multiple computers appear to share the same IP, your fights will conflict with others from behind your firewall.

Ive pointed this out recently that the Supporter link is dead. its not a bug but its busy work.

Interesting... that file was removed on Jan 3, 2005...........

That long its been dead? Just have it direct players to the supportership page

Suggestion taken and implemented. Thanks!

Currently there seems to be an issue with anything and chat... fighting removes my chat box can't fight twice in a row with enter i have to keep going back pages... loading the auctions causes this as well as forums... what happened??

A Defensive win and a subsequent loss in the battle log are sometimes shown in reverse order in which they occur.

I will try and get a screenshot of this.

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=11givxd&s=5

on the home page when you click on the History show top PR or score graphs, it displays tournament characters. should only display non tournament characters i believe.

This isn't really a bug, and I don't know if it has been brought up before, but it would be nice if the training option "Max" would occur last.

For instance, I would like to train 1/10th of my exp in one thing and the rest into something else. However, how it is currently set up it processes the highest skill on the list first.

For example, if I put 1/10th of my exp in STR and max HP, it will simply put all the exp in STR. But if I put 1/10th of my exp in HP and the rest into STR, it will put 1/10th into HP and the rest into STR.

Not a bug but more of a suggestion due to a question. All of the other sections for Stats have an overall section. Why doesn't Tattoos have an overall section?

http://www.carnageblender.com/stats/tattoo.tcl

It is a link on the Home page

It would, however, be very helpful to get all the tourney characters off the top attributes, items and tattoos.

Endurance 0.23500000000000001

is that 0.00000000000000001 really that important?

Found one: I tried to type in



I kept reading it as a In_sta-Upgrade and told me to post it in FS/WTB

Sorry for the double post here but remove the under scores to get what I mean.

Bug has been replicated, temporary fix is in place.
