Travelling activity

Postby Jur Schagen » Fri Aug 27, 2004 8:36 am

Saw someone drop some meat on the road today? Well it was me. This may help in the bughunt: I was in a town, ready to move on, clicked on the exit, went to inventory, "drop"-buttons were active, I didn't realize I had already left, dropped the meat (succesfully...) Then all my travelling chars got the message. This was very short after leaviung town.

I think we should just ignore the event like we have in the past. Silly bugs.
When people tell me that great minds think alike, all I can do is look at them and think "oh you dirty, dirty bastard"

Well, at least we now know exactly why it happens, and how to avoid it. We didn't know that before.

Thanks, Jur. That does indeed help in the bug hunt. So do I understand it correctly that you did not wait for the next page to show up before you entered the inventory button? Just to be exactly sure what you are saying. (I do it a lot - not waiting for the next page and clicking on something else.)

On a side note - who locked this thread and why?

Well, i got an idea of how this can be done....never tried it before, but what if you were in your inventory and then you go to travel and let the page load but then go back using the back botton on your internet thing and drop, can that work?, just another idea.

I sometimes do things like this accidentally, when I have more than one browser window open, doing multiple things at the same time. (Yes, that gets me lots of SQL errors :oops:, but it still saves time.)

Well I'm not really sure... I *think* I didn't use the back button, but I *do* often use it... And no, I ususally don't let pages load that I already know what they are saying... so I probably either didn't let it load and clicked "inventory" OR I used browser-back.

934-7: You see Love Cruise undock.

All my travelling characters saw it. This is a new road event type, I think :lol:

Mostly when such things happen I just ignore it, but those of my characters that are likely to see things will react to things like that as visions. I hope no one has anything against it.

One of mine saw it, thought it might be a magic user, tried to scare his girlfriend. :P I don't see any problem with reacting, as long as it's just verbal. (Don't know if you could hit the person or not)
