An extremely minor bug... If catalyzing ends on the same fight where black box produces an IOU there is a missing line break between the texts:

Figuring your catalysis project is over, you spin by your hideout and pick up the results.
You got an item: paladinum

Start catalyzing another piece.Your little black box beeps quietly, letting you know that it's full of data. You swing by the lab and let Dirk download everything. He puts a little tick in your IOU tally sheet, saying you've earned one favor from the group.
You got an item: crimebusters IOU

Fighting Club/New text interaction is still a little wonky:

fruitcake (regifted) also has:

You're trying to use an item that probably hasn't been implemented yet. Really sorry about that.

Edit: corrected, feel free to remove post

Another minor "bug". Usually damage is in bold. But when you use a fruitcake you get "...At least you found a use for it. 56 damage worth of use." without any bolding.

Edit: This was ninja corrected. Feel free to remove this post.

OJ mentioned this, and I've verified: the Sell Things interface in IE is borked.

Instead of listing items, it only shows the quantity, in alphabetical order in the menu thing.

Working fine on IE6. (Yes, my company's software people are so lazy they haven't upgraded us for years.)

I've identified the problem, and messaged Ryme the solution.

Apparently, IE (and Opera) ignore W3C specs when they encounter a label attribute in an option tag.
(Specs say it's - essentially - a tooltip value, not something to overwrite the text inside the tag. But since IE is b0rked by design...)

Sell page should be fixed now.

ever since the new rest page was implemented, resting in the Dank and Rusty Maze does not kick you out.

Edit: addressed, please remove

In the "Barge Lox" adventure, if you leave the password field empty and click "Enter the Password" you get: "You seem to be someplace you shouldn't be." Instead of the regular "You Have Posen Chorely".

(did I mention it was minor?)

There is an old bug regarding soul gazing, which I just verified. When an opponent is resistant to physical damage the message is "You sense that your opponent will not be susceptible to" without specifying what type of damage.

Edit: removed another issue which was fixed

Lol, so lazy, Ryme >.>

Might not be a bug (I'm still kicking myself for it) but if an *ouch item is put into Storage empty and then pulled out after rollover, it is still empty.

If not, let everyone learn from my mistake.

Not sure how serious this is, but every now and then the frame that holds the char info (name, HP, PP, etc) shows nothing but the script and not the information. Sometimes more than 2ce a night. It DOES reset once another link is clicked though, such as continued combat or returning to the area last patrolled or even to inventory or whatever.
Just thought I'd make this known, in case it's not.

It is intentional, so that people can display the stage that they want. If you want to use it, use it. If you want it kept as-is permanently on display, put it in the display.

Never seen this myself. Are you running any scripts or greasemonkey business?

It's never done that for me.

Nope, have yet to dl GM or any scripts.
It's not EVERY time I log in, either. Seems intermittent.

I've seen this, but since I knew what was causing it, I didn't think it was worth bothering anyone. It happens most times that I fire up firefox, and the session restore feature kicks in. It'll get to the point of having some of the frames loaded with results being blank, before it bumps out to the login screen.

If something else is responsible (and it's not a result of some browser settings, like grabbing info from a prefetched cache instead of waiting for it...) I've got nothing on that one.

On the bug notes: it's minor, as it isn't actually using up time, but turn length (for me at least) is displaying as 4.25min even though it should (and does) only take 4min/turn
Obviously, if it were the other way around, I'd be far less inclined to consider it minor, but it was disturbing.

I think this is part of my "fix" today ... broke how the game estimates the turnlength ahead of time. Did not break how the fight script actually does the accounting.

Time display and accounting should be fixed.

Since we're talking about time display. I have 4 min, 20 sec turns about 90% of the time. But the zones always show 4.33 minutes. Is that because it's displaying a fraction rather than the seconds after the minutes?

No, now it's a full-on major bug. Turns are actually taking more than 4 min each. (Which is what it's displaying, but still...)

And for Harry: yes, the time is given in decimal form, rather than minutes:seconds form. The use of a '.' rather than a ':' should've given that away.

edit: unequipping my xent gear raised turn length to 4.5 min... changing sidekick from race car driver to something else didn't affect anything... but when I changed back to the race car driver and re-equipped the xent gear, turn length dropped to where it was supposed to be. Odd.

There was system message in chat a few hours ago when Ryme made the fix of sidekicks and it said you might need to change your sidekick to make them work correctly.

Why are turn lengths displayed in decimal form, though. Maybe it's easier to code, but it seems like it would be more confusing to anyone looking to see how long an adventure is going to take.

I just left turn lengths in their native format, and this is the first time in three years anyone has asked about it.

Unless you say otherwise, I'm going to assume that this is related to the other bug, and that changing away and back once was all that's required to make this right.

That's because I'm picky. But not demanding! I did wait 2 years to mention it.

It is slightly inconvenient to have to remember what odd decimals times 60 are. Sure, .33 is simple, but I always forget the others and have to multiply. I don't think anyone could complain if it was changed to seconds since the decimal part isn't useful except after multiplied by 60 to get the seconds, and it's one less step for anyone who's looking for the number of seconds. That said, it's not really /necessary/ to change it to seconds, either. Just a minor inconvenience without it.

I had my furnace of yeb equipped and in order to test something I unequipped the furnace and was fighting and the attack button still said 'Attack with your Furnace of Yeb'

Yes, for some reason, fighting without a weapon treats things as if you had whatever was last equipped. Not sure if you get the bonuses or not.

Might be fixable by making "unarmed" a class of weapon.

If adventuring in "The Skies Above Downtown", catalysis and decryption results do not appear.
I assume that black box IOUs don't either.

Sorry, must be mistaken.

OK, I think I have isolated the problem. If both catalysis and decryption end on the same turn, the usual
images and footnotes do not appear. Currently only tested in "The Skies Above Downtown".

I reported a bug about catalysis and IOU ending on the same time resulting in awkward text, this might be related.

Having a negative total of elemental resistance puts your resistance at -X%, instead of 0. May not be a bug if you already calculate it so that negative resistance increases the damage done.

I'll have to check that one, but I *think* that -20% fire resistance would indeed cause you to take 20% more damage.

I think this was raised before, bone flute, spiral horn and summoning cube cannot be recyclonized.

Yeah, it's been discussed. I can't remember the rationale now, but I'm 100% sure there was a reason we decided that initially. I don't remember the reason now, but I know there was one.

I'd think it's because you can summon them. But considering you can only summon 3 a day, I hardly think it's game-breaking. And summoning isn't the /only/ source.

I'm pretty sure this is not intended.

Summoning cone is level 15, I suppose since the XP boost from Yith is overpowered at low levels. However, sidekicks are not removed on transmog, so you could theoretically get one before transmog, then keep it for level 1. I suppose it will get you to level 5 or so almost instantly.

Haven't tested it myself since I was level 12 when I re-transmoged, but I checked and other sidekicks are not removed.
