Hey S.E.E. Fans & Players!

It's time for the next Bug Hunt!!!
This time we're obviously looking for bugs in the most recent release; Beta 4.5! Post anything you find, but please try to make sure it IS a bug, and be as informative as you can by simply following these directions:...

State the following:

- What map was played?

- What faction(s) was used?

- What units was involved, if any?

- What happened exactly when the bug was discovered?

That is a perfect way of report bugs. Short, informative and to the point! Good Luck!



EDIT: Just for your info...
I will NOT be sweeping this thread to answer questions in any great extent. Sûl is the Head Coder so Bug Reports are for him mostly and primarily, but I will check this thread every once in a while anyways. But I always put my main effort into all them XX Suggestion Threads to look for useful ideas for upcoming versions of S.E.E... Just so you know

I reposte for your convenience:

Post anything you find, but please try to make sure it IS a bug, and be as informative as you can!...
State:
- What map was played?
- What faction(s) was used?
- What units was involved, if any?
- What happened exactly when the bug was discovered?

All i heard, in answer to the above questions, is 'Glorfindel, activate power, BladeOfPurity'.
That's part 1.
For part 2 (fear) it seems none of the other questions posed are answered. This doesn't help finding and fixing a bug at all.

SO, let me say this once again:

THIS THREAD is NOT for you to write how pissed off you are at some stupid bug, BUT your chance to help us fix bugs (that may or may not annoy you) with detailed info on the conditions surrounding the bug!

This shouldn't be so hard to get, would it?

Thanks everyone.

Map: Eastern Rohan II (BFMEI)
Factions: Dwarves vs Isenguard
Unit: Demolishers
Bug: This might be intended, but they start with the extra armor ability (the one where they can't move) set to auto. I think this is a bug, because having that intentional would make it annoying as you have to deselect it to move the Demolisher.

[Sûlherokhh]

It's no bug. You can right click to deactivate, if you like. But you don't need to deactivate for movement. Just click anywhere and it moves there. Only when it arrives it automatically deployes.

This was done so the AI would also benefit from this ability.

-Minas Tirith
-Elves
-Frodo
-When I used Frodo's disguise on an orc it appered to me that frodo had the skins of about 2 orcs at once.
At least I think, more than one for sure. And then after about 10 secs he changes into a differnt skin than the
one(s) he was wearing before.

Oh and

-Mount doom 1
-Moria
-none
-Dunno if its really a bug but I can't see the skies with the RJ CAM. Its all black, or is that whats it's supposed to be?

[Sûlherokhh]

You probably used low grafic settings. try higher ones. then the far off objects are visible as well (which includes the skybox).

What orc/goblin did frodo try to impersonate?

[1Master]

I'm 99% sure it was normal gorgoroth orcs.

[Sûlherokhh]

well, if you really want to be helpful, try again, once with every orc type, then write it down.

[1Master]

UGH, I think I will, and I think I did

Same map Minas Tirith

Heres the status so far:
-Gorgoroth orcs- I found its not the skins but the random armor and weapons thats acting up.
Two more times I tried and got the exact same result: About 3 weapons and 3 shields worn at the same time. Then after a few secs all if back to normal.
-Laborers- Just fine
-Morgul orcs- Same as gorgoroth for the morgul orcs.
Frodo took and wore 2 shields at one time, permenently.
-Gorgoroth Archers- Frodo bugged up about 3 helmets at right after each other, kina like he wore one then a sec later he had a different one, and so on, he went through about five helmets before he chose one he liked.

I put the baddies on HARD, but they never made morranon orcs, so ill look into those later.

Oh and I found another bug.

-Minas tirith
-Elves
-Builders
-At the start of every game one of my builders somehow teleports to the bottom level of Minas. Sometimes he jumps back up though.
Most of the time its just a fast way down, though I dont know how he does it.

This guy is showing potential as a Beta Tester for Beta V...

- Orc Disguise... don't worry about it. I will find a modeler that will make new models for them to switch into instead. Looking like in the movies... (For Beta V)

- I know for sure that the AI will build Morannon Orcs, since I fought them the other day =)

- ALL Fortress Maps will require a lot more coding fixes for Beta V. Best thing is to play NON-fortress maps until Beta V =p

[1Master]

Wow thanks Naz. I guess ill stop testing the orcs then.

-Cair Andros
-Dwarves
-Buildings
-When I used the barrage ability on an enemy isngard, the buildings took damage BEFORE the rocks even hit
them.

-Cair Andros
-Dwarves
-Uruk crossbowmen
-When uruk crossbowmen were shooting at me at melee range, they didnt move at all.
Like no kickback and no reloading.

[Soviet]

First of all, wonderful mod, I especially love the xp system for the buildings implemented in this version. Thanks for all the hard work you guys do.

- Westfold II (BFME 1)
- MOTW
-Rohirrim, Gandalf
-The Rohirrim don't automatically fire when using bows. Instead they seem to cheer. When this happened I had a hero nearby and they were cheering at wild wargs, this stayed constant throughout the entire game. Gandalf never turns to Gandalf the White, even at level 10. I don't know whether that was intentional or not.

[Gothmog14]

I also had the Uruk Crossbowmen problem. It was on Eastern Rohan. They're shooting, but they're completely still. There's no reload animation, no recoil animation, nothing. It wasn't at melee range though they were rather close to me.

[The Best Guest]

well to make up for me not being able to beta test

- Shire (but probaly all maps)
- Dwarves
- King Brand (or is it bard?)
- well his last abilty it say very effective agians(no t) dragon's kin

[zachdaddy_3000]

@Soviet: Gandalf has to die first. Then when you respawn him he's Gandalf the White (don't know if his powers are adjusted, but he does come with an extra 1000 health)! It's a neat little addition, don't you think?

[The Best Guest]

Yes I saw the same thing happen to me but the lag was random it wasn't always lagging unless he was nearby
