icon 20+ scores from 2018 compilation vanished for greenscience (0)  
After the full rerun of all RPG scores something seemed off about the 2018 Year of RPG scores, and it seems that most of greenscience's scores for the hold have vanished. One of the scorepoints has also vanished, which I think is from the Castle Repton Annex entry but I cant remember the scorepoint's name. It might be that greenscience was the only person who had so far submitted a score for that entry.

I assume what has happened here is that one of the scorepoints failed for some reason, then all the other scores from other entries were played on the same save file and so theres been a cascade of failed validations because they all replay and get stuck on the same failing entry.

Yes, I noticed that several of my scores failed validation. The missing one from Castle Repton Annex is Up to Eleven! The only entries whose scores are left are Exponenti-Slayer, Shattered Crystal, Suprematism of Health, and the ones from Hostile Hotel. I'm not sure that same save file is the reason for failed validation. Reached Ether Suits, Arena Master Defeated, and Up to Eleven! were replayed from scratch when I re-optimized them although the first submitted scores were from the same save.

Besides the ones from 2018 Compilation I also lost Golem Guard Downed!, Normal Ending!, Spookswielder Killed! from The Test Of Mind, plus Elder Slayer no more! from 2016 Compilation wasn't validated. You also lost one score from Accessory Training Facility.

Since I played on Linux I thought there were some differences between what was submitted by Windows vs Linux that affected validation. In particular after my first submission Little Square's Evil Eye (Unequipped) could only be validated when submitted from Windows. Although now I'm not so certain due to Accessory Training Facility.

Ran one of these demos through the debugger, and Validate... is returning false here:

Oh hey nicely spotted, I didn't notice.

There was a scorepoint called Keys Wasted and it's vanished from the tables completely (but I think I'm the only person who's ever submitted a score for it).

Thank you! Happy to address this.

Based on a glance at the code there, it appears a room exit command is being encountered in the playback without an accompanying room exit event on that turn. Can someone provide context into how that is?

I've figured out what causes this.

On the current Steam build wall walking onto a pressure plate activates it. In 1.2.8.alpha.2020-10-16 this doesn't happen, which breaks any scores that use the wall walking in ATF:1W. This appears to be a new bug and I've made a new thread for it.

This is likely unrelated to the original issue, as Castle Repton Annex for example doesn't have any wall walking tokens.

Matt, I've merged a PR to address the accessory issue. It was a regression in my fix for teleport logic. Please re-validate these scores at your convenience.

It looks like some scores from The Test of Mind also failed for the same reason, as teleporting on top of equipment also failed in a similar way.

The latest alpha fixes that behaviour too. You now correctly collect equipment if you e.g. wall walk onto it.

Are these better now? I re-verified all previously deleted scores.

Looking closely it looks like my scores for Atheist Run, The Invincible Man, Reached Ether Suits, and Up to Eleven! are old. I uploaded new ones around August this year with scores of 2685, 3034, 359, 2841 respectively. Also should have score of 485 for 2016 Compilation's Elder Slayer no more! that wasn't validated.

The others all look correct.

Checked the first one, Atheist Run, in the debugger. It successfully validates, but no scorepoints are found.

I have looked at the scripting of all of the entries that house those scorepoints and nothing jumps out as unusual. Three of them (Atheist Run, The Invinicible Man and Up To Eleven!) are all triggered in the same way, by doing a Wait while monster on a square which contains a Rock Giant and then triggering the scorepoint afterwards, but this doesn't seem to be an issue as the scorepoints activate correctly when I test things out in the editor.

It might matter that I played using 1.2.7.319 on Linux and usually submitted scores by saving when I enter the room containing scorepoint, then restoring to complete many in one go.

Since there are only a few scorepoints remaining I can just play them again tonight and resubmit with latest alpha to see if problems persist.

Thanks for testing out submission of these score points.

I'm not clear if there's a bug or not yet.

Please let me know if there's something I need to look into.

I resubmitted the 5 scores and they were accepted. Don't think there is anything related to fix at the moment.

For future debugging, I've added some tracking of why scores are rejected.

You can see a list of all of your rejected scores at https://forum.caravelgames.com/deletedrpgscores.php

It will only show the reason for a rejection if it's been reverified since about an hour ago. There's a button to request re-verification, to populate that field for any demos you'd like.
