Okay, I have a bug to report, but I'm not quite sure how to fix it. My entry to the Technology Contest involves a guard character striking orbs with his sword. When I test it on my computer it works fine, but Jason says that the guard hits the orb, but nothing happens. What should I do?

Temporarly just switch to strike orb at.

Ok, I did that but people are still having trouble with it, namely Tokyokid. Could someone look at this?

Not the most helpful, but I tried it and it worked fine. I looked at the scripting also, and don't see anything odd.

So a few thoughts:

1. Are Jason and Tokyokid using either the release candidate, or some pre 2.0.14 version of JTRH?

2. Have they tried redownloading and reimporting the hold?

The fact that this only happens to a few people seems to suggest either their copy of DROD is diffrent, or their copy of the hold is diffrent...

Tokyokid is using 2.13. I have no idea about Jason.

Hmmm, well the only change to game logic I see listed on the architecture board from 2.0.13 to 2.0.14 involves the interaction of appear and face direction, and you never use both for the same character. So nothing obvious there.

Does this bug happen for ALL the guards, or just certain ones?

Well, it always happens to the first guard. They can't get farther than that. It makes me feel sad, because I have no idea what's wrong, and it's causing me to get lower votes than I should. Sort of like Jeff_Ray, if I knew that I had to wait longer to exit, I would've given him a MUCH higher vote. Maybe the vote should start over.

I have Version 2.0.13. It's a demo version.

It has to be something with 2.0.13! That's the only explanation! Give me a few minutes.

EDIT: Someone with 2.0.13 try this and see if it works. I added wait 1's to the begining of every script.

AGAINEDIT: Noticed a bug, try again.

I have 2.0.11 due to it being the most recent version for Mac.

Really? Where could I download the patch? I checked the topic and I only found 2.0.11.

I have no idea, but note Hikari's last post in this thread - I assume he knows what he's talking about since he is a Mac user.

Chaco doesn't have Caravelnet and thus can't download it - I guess the issue is that there is no patch, just a full version. Chaco - do you have the JtRH demo or a full install? If you have a full install, you might want to try writing Erik and maybe he'll send you a download link for the updated version (of course, I can't promise anything, there may be considerations here that I'm not thinking of).

I've got the full install.

I don't know, it seems a bit unnecessary for me to bug Erik just because my DROD version doesn't let characters move onto tunnels. I don't think it's much of an issue really.

On the other hand, since the C++ programmer for Mac position is vacant, it may be a very long time before the next Mac patch is released.

Yeah, lol, thanks for making me see the humour in Ezlo's rudeness.

Well, tokyokid and Jason were the ones who told me, so I wanted to know if it worked for them too. Sorry if I was rude.
