Time for a new Bug fix post. I'm trying to do this whenever the load more option comes on of the blog. Stupid thing makes navigating a pain in the butt. And same as last time I'm only going to include the bugs that weren't uploaded yet or haven't been fixed to help avoid this topic from being massive.

On the upside it seems the bugs that are actually fixable are starting to wind down a bit. Thank heavens. I honestly thought it wouldn't be as bad as last time. And thank you guys for all your hard work in finding these these errors. I know it's a grueling pain in the ass for this kind of game.





Fixed In V1.16

-Fai doesn't leave party after bear fight.
-Can still trigger man and Bao Shon Private action after they're taken away.
-Not getting reward for bear quest.
-Chest information error. Says you get Igneous Claw recipe when in fact you are getting Fuzzy Sandals recipe.
-Wind strike usable out of battle
-Jail door graphic switching.
-disappearing guard in Infernal Site
-Cracked skull shield called dense skull in crafting system.
-Could break the game if you left blacks key and exited the map.
-Hive Graphic not going away once you leave the infested temple.
-Fai and Ryo still Kuro's basement after they join you.
-Paralyze Talisman's not equipable.
-Dead guard at fort shale missing direction fix flag.
-Graphic and floor level glitch in Fai's quest, prove it.
-Jail cells giving wrong dialogue.
-Duplicated the mimic in Kuro's Castle... not sure what else to put there so maybe i'll leave it blank for now and add the traveling merchant later.
-FlashBomb uses MP
-Dialogue for small holes in blightwoods and Fai's shack fixed.
-Removed Fai's beastiary skill since I can't get it to work the way I wanted it. (Won't take effect if you already have it.)


Fixed but not Uploaded:

-Large area you can walk through in Kuro's mansion.
-Crash in checkpoint when you fight the skeletons. *Sorry it took me so long to find this one. Kept thing it was a random crash.* In actuality it was me forgetting I have to set the background for areas where you fight through scripts.
-more pieces of the bone armor not named properly in the crafting system.



Bugs not Fixed:

-Balancing issue: I want to make a character that shows up in dungeons and will sell you things you can restock your healing items before you face off against the bosses. Not an NPC but an actual character.

-I spelt aquired wrong in a graphic... maybe more than one.
-292 errors. They don't pop up on my game. Have been adding extra events to see if that helps. Can anyone experience these error tell me if you are using the full screen code?
-herbs don't affect other stats.

-F12 stack level too deep: Pending

    1. Go alone as the bone spirit to the bridge inside the cave behind Fai's house, a weird event will play out, then exit the screen and re-enter it, there will be a chest there containing a picture of Rin, which is Scene1_P5, and Eri will also appear. Btw, have you found Scene1_P0, the one with Kuga holding a fish on his mouth?

      Delete
    2. Nope, can't say i have looked for it either.

      Delete
    3. Oh I see, thought you had found it already since you said that one with Rin was the last you missed... guess I'll wait till someone finds it, I can't think of anywhere else to look.

    5. Got a crash trying to pick up Fai after having done the following events: Town kidnapped > Overnight @ Fai's > ditching party members > Completing "Prove It" > Dropping off Fai again > Finding Rin's picture in Fai's cave.
      I assume the event triggering the bug is the town being kidnapped, but figured I'd post them all just in case.
      As a sidenote for anyone experiencing the same crash, if you do everything you want to do as solo Dryden / Bone Spirit and leave "Prove It" til last you can probably skip this crash since Fai auto joins the party and the end of "Prove It".

      Delete
    6. I missed the "Prove It" quest. How do you trigger/acquire it?

      Delete
    7. After the town is kidnapped, go to the Bone Spirit's shrine where you picked up the other quests. Pick it up the same way as the others.

      Delete
    8. You also cannot have anyone in your party, or Fai at least, and you can't get it during Private Action. Thanks for letting me know. I never dropped everyone off after Codachi was introduced.

  3. Also any one else see the few invisible items in ur inv i see 3 and i got no idea what they are

  4. Does anyone know how to get through the fire wall in the upper-left side of the map in the fire cave, before recruiting Yin? (I think Regless said it was possible pre-Yin in an earlier comment section.) Also, the explosives area in the elemental boss room, and the two rooms on the lower-left-middle of the map posted earlier (If they're even accessable right now.) I wanted to figure these out myself, and not sure if sharing of such optional secrets is frowned upon by Regless, but with a 292 error blocking my path to the middle save area, I just don't have the energy to keep trying to find it while repeatedly clearing the rooms when the mobs respawn, with only one save point that isn't constantly blocked off or crashing my game.

    Also, minor bug note. Some quests complete but don't complete in the quest log, because an earlier step bugged out. I have that for the Ice Princess quest right now, and encountered it on Ryo's mushroom quest earlier. (Both, thanks to how some party members joined me, didn't check off that part of the quest, and I never noticed until it was too late.) It may be a good idea, if possible, to have completing the last step complete the earlier steps as well. Not sure if it effects exp reward, but at the very least it's a bit vexing having quests you've completed sticking around in the incomplete section of quest log.

    1. I dont think any one but reg knows how to do the lvlup crystal in that cave as for the 2 other rooms i literaly tryed every wall if there was a secret path and i found nothin. Also i dont think you can get passed it without yun

      Delete
    2. Sounds like you might be referring to a spot where you need lady Yin to get passed.

      Delete
    3. Gah...! Dammit, this another of your "passed, past, pass" mixups that show up in game Regless. Whenever you are saying a sentence like "I need Lady Yin to get by..." you use past, not passed. You would only use passed if the past tense for that. "We passed it earlier." If it is current text, you have to move past it.

      Delete
    4. I'm probably just going to have to point them out one by one in game aren't I? Ugh...

      Delete
    5. I feel bad. Now I want to mix them up on purpose just you troll you. Or maybe that'll result me me getting them right more often... Meh. English is stupid anyway. I like how passed is past in the past tense. past tense of past should be pasted! Like almost everything else! Also, I may be slightly drunk as I write this post.

      Delete
    6. God damnit Regless, if you troll me, I swear, I will leave one of the largest grammar lessons you've ever seen on this blog! lmao

      It really is just a huge pet peeve of mine. Mixing up some words I just accept but for some reason mixing up the different "pasts" irks me to no end.

  5. For some reason Game crashes in the smithy during the conversation on Leia's Big Bang. quest.

    I left you a nice long reply on the previous page but due to the glitches that happen to me every time the "load more" option becomes available, it deleted itself. So now I have to type the whole damn thing again here for you. Here we go...

    1. I didn't get that far in the game, so I didn't realize that the "error" was one of consistency. However depending on WHO is saying it, it may not be an error of consistency. Others may choose to consider her a "demon" while whoever called her a "spirit" may be choosing to see her in that positive light. This may have been intentional, showing the perspective of the person speaking. Seeing Codachi as benevolent rather than demonic.

      As for "Yokai" you will find that it is one of many words that Japanese people can't tell you for certain what it mean.

      There are lots of words like this in Japanese. You can look up the "dictionary" meaning, but that won't help you, simply because the dictionary meaning and the way people actually use the term is often completely different. This is because much like Americans, Japanese people don't know their own language. (Although they have more reason for it.) The issue with this is due to the fact that they use three languages just for Japanese, let alone when they translate to outside languages!

      Delete
    2. Hiragana - This is the language that most students of the language learn first. It is Japanese 111. This written symbol based language has different symbols used for each sound set (fa, fe, fi, fo, fu, ha, he, hi, ho, hu, etc....) and is used for Japanese words and names ONLY. More on this is explained in Katakana.

      Katakana - Uses the exact same sound groupings as Hiragana, but is used for foreign words and names. Take "computer" for example. In say... Spanish, they converted it to be "la computadora" making a Spanish word for it. However the Japanese do not do this. They will instead sound out the word, and write the sounds in Katakana as best as they can. (There are some sounds we use in English that they do not use at all, and thus have no equivalents for. This is part of the reason they sound so strange when they speak English, even beyond the accent. They are "speaking" in Katakana unless they get much usage out of English, so they just don't say those missing sounds, or butcher them horribly. Only those who use English in their day-to-day get this issue fixed through experience.) This causes them to have two different languages. These languages are used in the same sentences even. John went to the store, will have "John" written in Katakana, while "went to the store" will be written in Hiragana. It is very confusing for people learning initially. However this is not the main problem. That problem, is Kanji.

      Kanji - The ancient language of Japan, derived from the older Chinese language.This pictographic language has different symbols for every single "word" or "idea" much like Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Only it has many MORE symbols due to it's age. The problem is that the average Japanese person only knows the 2-3 hundred symbols that are *commonly* used. Ask a Japanese person that is completely fluent in English to translate a sentence for you, and if it has no Kanji they'll do fine. Ask a sentence *with* Kanji and you'll get "Well, it sort of means..." this is because they are guessing, or inferring, what the Kanji actually means by the context of the rest of the sentence. This is the reason that Oni, Yokai, Bakemono, etc are all used to describe monsters, or evil spirits, with the word chosen being different depending on who is doing the writing. It isn't translation errors, just that the words mean different things to different people. They *choose* which one they want to mean what. All are valid, because they have similar meanings officially, and the details as to which is actually which are lost on most Japanese because they have never bothered to look it up. Why would they? Basically, they don't know Kanji. There are random "experts" who do nothing but study Kanji and determine the meanings of the older, no longer used symbols, but no one has a true complete understanding of the old words in practice. You can look up the definitions, but that doesn't help you because you will not get the meaning that the speaker is trying to give.

      Delete
    3. Compound this by different people knowing random symbols (or thinking they do, which is even worse) and using them currently since the language isn't "dead" and people have to try and decipher a language that they don't understand! Kanji is still considered a "legitimate" way of writing, even being half-dead as it is, so people have no idea what they're doing.

    4. "However depending on WHO is saying it, it may not be an error of consistency."

      Its an error of consistency unless its not... only regless knows for sure under the info that I see it appears to be wrong. Things like this are always I problem because I have no idea what regless's intend is. Could be an important story line point... or a misspelling hehe

      Delete
  7. @Regless -Balancing issue: I want to make a character that shows up in dungeons and will sell you things you can restock your healing items before you face off against the bosses. Not an NPC but an actual character.

    An O'aka the 23'd type? Hmmm..... Well, you'd have to come up with a good *reason* for said character to be there since you're not SqEnix and we hold you to higher standards. More so if said character is a sexy woman rather than a man. They don't tend to do things like that in the times illustrated. Although you could just say "fuck that" due to artistic license.

    1. Guess this would be easier to do if said character was a spirit/demon/whatever instead of a human, easier to explain their technically out-of-place presence in certain spots.

  8. After the cut scene in the back of Fai's cave on the bridge you can move the camera around as the screen pans back over to you your character can move it left and right with the arrow keys.

    ReplyDelete
  9. No, thank you for providing great entertainment for us! The least we can do is beta test for you :)

    For "balancing" might I suggest that you turn off the players collider when enemies are present during scenes like when the village is on fire and Ryo is talking to Regless, the skeletons still chase you down and attack mid conversation/cut scene.

    Another instance I can think of is after you destroy the furnace in the mine. Considering that a military force just swept through and killed/captured all of them it would be nice to have no monsters re-spawn until you end the story sequence. It was kind of irritating trying to talk to people while avoiding the monsters (I had no potions and Bone spirit's health was in the yellow after the furnace fight -_-)

    ReplyDelete
  10. Just finished my second run, found a few more minor bugs:

    - Not sure if this one is a bug but the mimic at the black miko's dungeon also gives the bola skill for Fai after you beat it, seems kinda pointless to get the same skill twice as a reward if you already beat the mimic on the blight woods.

    - There is no notification for Ryo getting the stone skin skill after fighting the imperial guard at the infernal site, no description of it either.

    - Fai's bestiary skill always fails, the "there was no effect on (monster X)" message always appears whenever I use that skill on any monster. The book also doesn't register monster drops, steal items are registering just fine though.

    - Ice princess quest doesn't complete for some reason, the first step of the quest doesn't get marked as done for some reason.

    - If you talk to Dryden's mom as Dryden instead of Bone Spirit after beating the Mad Furnace she doesn't get romance points.

    - You can walk through the wall in the black miko's dungeon on the room that has a sword stuck on the table. A few points in the infested shrine also make you get stuck even though there is nothing visible on the map.

    That's all I got right now, I'll let you know if I find anything else. Btw, I was looking at the game's data and found some stuff that I couldn't yet discover in-game, could you please confirm if I can find any of these in the current version or if they are just for future use? If any of these is already in the game a hint would be appreciated:

    - Umbrella Lady
    - Fujin
    - Eri
    - Scene01_P0
    - Scene01_P5

    1. Eri is you must be dryden solo and go to the bridge place behind fai s hut

    2. Thank you for the answer, also got the Scene01_P5 from that event, would never have thought of going with the bone spirit solo to that place... have you found the scene with Kuga holding a fish in his mouth?

      Delete
    3. wow how'd you figure that one out

      Delete
    4. Kuga's is the other one I'm missing, Scene01_P0. No luck with Umbrella Lady or Fujin yet either. Btw, just a general hint for everyone, make sure to steal Lady Yin's earring during the fight with her in end of the prologue, you can read some people's thoughts with that, like Fai's during her ambush quest and Kuro's in the black miko's dungeon.

      Delete
    5. Welp why didnt ya tell me that now ill replay the game i guess...

      Delete
    6. Wish that you had more than one chance to steal it, or that it is a 100% chance, so that if you fail you don't have to keep redoing the Regless fight and going through all that dialogue.

  11. hey i noticed something.... at the infernal site or whatever its called.... when you reach the final lvl with the imperials theres a random naked picture of drydens mother that appears for no reason whatsoever... not sure if theres supposed to be a scene there....

    2. I was using version 1.15 when i noticed this, I know he took care of the item swapping when Leia waits for you near Fai's entrance but I assume I'm the first person to mention the item swap after you get separated at blightwoods when Regless throws you off the cliff its not a big problem as you really dont have any reason to equip the random stuff you find at the village before you reunite with the party members in blightwood as before that there is no enemies

  13. going to repost this since not sure you saw it

    still 1.14


    When ghosts attack with ice spell seems to cause a stun effect but isn't displayed(moan in agony does same thing as well, skel moan from "prove it" mission.


    Game breaker bug

    When kuro tosses you the key if you choose not to pick it up but "leave" aka go back to the save crystal when you come back the key is gone.


    If you goto the infest shrine(i went to the save crystal on top floor) but if you go back to kuro's castle this happens

    http://postimg.org/image/qv2v3mdpx/

    after above going to shrine and coming back to kuro castle i'm back in the basement and ryo and fai are still there

    http://postimg.org/image/x6fk4jk6x/

    kuro's castle key doesn't have any text displayed when using it.


    When talking to the wind spirit when you first find it, alot of lines in "...you are rather[...] make a SCHEDUAL(<---schedule)

    if your in private actions mode at fort shale when you "talk" to the dead body the form changes into an imperial with full armor

    When talking to the miko that replaces dryden mom after she's been taken away miko: yes i will EASY(ease) your fathers pain[...]

    in the mission "prove it" in the area you find fai. You can't walk under the bridge unless you exit and come back, the chest and torch next to the hole go invis if your on the lower level, the other chest is already open.

    The small hole next to where leia is found in the blight wood doesn't give you the text of the ember trying to go down it just same old text.


    This is kind of a bug. If on your way back from the infernal site and your playing around in fort shale if you enter lady yin cell and then walk cell door with the guards gives you the same msg(cut the bars) as when you first find lady yin in the cell and the fort is off limits(going from the other side does same thing just different msg)

    When the town is on fire as you head to ryo if you go to far to the right along the tree line(in attempt to avoid the skel) and then go down you trigger a black screen and until you move more to the the left(aka more on the gravel pathway) you just stay at a blank screen.

    This chest give igny gaunlet.. think thats wrong because you get it somewhere else but can't check recipes

    http://postimg.org/image/e5wr6xkdl/


    If you kill both mimics you get the same text dialog from both.




    House keeping stuff not sure if this stuff is on purpose or not.

    Fai beast skill never seems to work in combat.

    Normal drops don't update in the beast book.

    If leia is silenced she can't use 'skill' big bomb(she can use 'skill' flash bomb)
    Also still uses 50 mp when shes uses her normal attack but with flash pouch equipped.



    O and btw congrats games basically bug free now(hopefully) hehe and time to start bitching about stuff like the 2nd picture of rin and the picture of kagu and the fish.... can you find these in-game or are for chapter 2? Also beasty only goes to about 50% I know some of that is in chapter 2 for the war mechanics but what should we have for chapter one? The OCD demands answers!!!

    ReplyDelete

  14. Other house keeping things.

    Need to delete the saves folder(if possible) since its still there and has the 4 demo saves in it.


    Dingy straps.... NEEDS MOAR!!! I'm not sure with the resource system you have you can get alot of control on that but I suggest adding dingy straps as a steal off the ronin as the char's talk alot of shit about them so it kind of fits. Could also add it as a loot as well.

    Posion shrooms... I was only able to get one. As far as I can tell you can only get one. 'Mush' drop straw and have nothing to steal. Not sure if this was done on purpose and your going to get them in the swamp or what but NEEDS MOAR. Maybe add a posion shroom to autum wood using 'mush' pick and just relabel...






    READ ME!!!!!!! you needs...

    Ttile: read me and tips

    Something like

    Blog name

    blog link


    Basic trouble shooting

    Make sure you have rpg maker VX run times installed NOT rpg maker VA ACE.

    link

    Don't fill out your name and email use the link below "download now" box.

    If menus and text are not displaying make sure to install the font "sophomore yearbook" comes with the game.



    Tips

    Save often and use different slots you have 90.


    Its very important to read the dialog. If you are stuck someone where load up a game a few saves back and re-read the dialog.

    If still stuck try "searching" around and pressing the action key 'Z' to see if you can trigger something. Like walk to the edge of a cliff that you think you need to pass and press 'Z' and see if you get an action or dialog.

    4. You can get another poison mushroom during the beginning of the prologue, when you are foraging with Leia. In the bottom left corner of the autumn woods I think there will be a mushroom on the ground and Leia will warn you not to eat it, you'll have the option to nibble it, leave it or harvest it, choose to harvest.

      Delete
    5. still need 1 more if you want to make the pellets as well.

      Also bug all of drydens first set of armor(cracked set) is still wrong in the crafting window display.

      Delete
  15. I have a problem some times off and on but more often now than earlier I've been getting random crashes at the oddest times right now it's happening after I try to craft some of the bone armor and then leave the town to see if I got the crafting corect half way between the craft building and the exit to town the game just crashes.

    Another is I'm constantly getting crashes when I try to leave the cave beneath the checkpoint to restock supplies to get even deeper. This crash prevents me from leaving but it crashes when I approach the section on the map that has the save crystal so I can't even use the save crystal at the beginning of the cave to heal myself or save.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. i get the cave crash as well he's probably going to have to fight with that one a bit.

      As to the crafting save before you craft then after you have crafted the items in question goto your equipment and un-equip something then re-equip it. This may help with it. Also try to go through the menu a bit slow when doing that sometimes it your really quick it will crash.

      Delete
    2. Do we know if the crashes are related to games that were started during the early versions? As in something that messes up the game in the save files themselves and carries over even if you move them to a new game version?

      I know that some data works like that, I remember for example that I had to restart to just before the end of the prologue during one of the early bugs, since my saves from an early version messed up an event regardless of Regless having fixed it in the version I was playing. So yeah, do the 292 crashes happen for those who recently started a new game?

      Delete
    3. I used the newest version at the very beginning with no carry over saves.

      So none of my saves are from the old versions.

      Delete
    4. Assuming your using a new folder as well...

      That said he's working on it going to take more testing to figure it out sadly. Its probably the only real bug left in game at moment.

      Delete
    5. I think it's two one displays an error message and I think it's some code but I can't seem to consistently bring it up reliably all the time the other just crashes it.

      I could be wrong but it maybe two separate bugs

      Delete
    6. Yeah, it does seem weird.

      The only thing I can think of to fix that without seeing the code or triggers used would be to remove all save crystals and re-make them to make sure there aren't any overlapping conflicts because it definitely seems as though it's an issue that happened with one crystal and then that crystal was copied and used for all the other crystals in the game. I could obviously be entirely wrong about that, but that's at least what it looks like.

      Delete
    7. Its not just save crystals its the process of the menu change. You can crash it by opening the mission boards like the miko shrine and pretty sure you can do it by opening up your quest in your menu.

      Delete
    8. Huh, didn't know that. I've never had issues with that (or the blacksmithing) so thought those were different issues. I assumed there was some scene that was supposed to be triggered when you walked up to a crystal which was only partially removed.

      Delete
  16. also make sure you have latest version of game and rpg maker vx.

  17. I mentioned it in one of the older threads, but there is still a bug with one of the chests in Blight woods. It is in a hidden tunnel in the first monster area http://imgur.com/Qtl0WsH
    There is a short text scene where Dryden thinks about using a shield and it says you get the recipe for Cracked skull shield. I doesn't seem as though you get any recipe from this, I had the same number of recipes after opening the chest as I had before. I was also able to craft Cracked skull shield but I think it was called dense skull in the crafting option.

    I want to know why when you go though the fire place (the tunnel under the fort wit hall the flare monsters and spiders) I go from 30 to like 10 frames.
    I'm thinking it the the special effects or lighting from the fires, they overlap. I'm wonder if this is on because of me or the game.
    Also I can't get pass the puzzle in there too, is there a hidden path or something because the switches do nothing to help.
    The first which you encounter blocks the entrance but opens the rest of the area so that switch is null.
    The second switch opens the fire next to it, but the third switch just opens the fire path to the right of the second switch, I'm I missing something here?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The pathways in the fire area are not really clear, you should generally be moving in a left to right motion to hit all the switches and to backtrack, you need to backtrack at least twice, if you need more details, let me know

    2. Ok, I figured out what to do, after what you meant by left to right motion and a few trial and error. I really appreciate the help :)
      But still the fire lighting is still kind of killing the frame rate (I think it maybe be the lighting I don't know for sure), not game breaking but endurable.

  26. Most of the bugs I've encountered have either been fixed or mentioned here, so I'll try to limit it to things I haven't seen addressed.

    If you equip Leia with equipment while foraging in the Autumn Woods at the very beginning of the game, before visiting the Paper Mansion, she reverts to her default equipment after rescuing you from the guards.

    If you fight the skeletons on the bridge, the game crashes.

    If you rescue the Miko at the Infernal Mine, it says you gained faction rep, but you don't. I had 15 beforehand and 15 afterwards.

    I did the Backdoor quest. Talked to the female Regless. Talked to Regless in Fort Shale. Ryo said he hid his stuff in his beer mine. Escaped the town and hid in the beer mine. Afterwards, the quest is still marked as incomplete, but the only objective, Find Reggy's Room key, is marked as complete. There was no dialogue or anything to indicate I found the key. Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but the Secret Door quest has not updated at all.

    Now for begging for help. Where do you find the wind spirit? My guess is the swamp, since I never went there. I thought I'd have a change after rescuing everyone from the mine, but I went to the town and triggered the endgame. Also, how do you discover the romance with Mother. I did discover it when I gave her the hyper potion in the Infernal Mine, but I've read comments about getting Romance points for the scene with her near the shrine, so I'm thinking there must be an earlier opportunity to discover it that I missed. With the scene at the shrine, it currently doesn't discover the romance or give any points for it.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The wind spirirt is inside the well in town, you need to get a rope in Fort Shale to be able to enter it. The scene with the mother in the shrine doesn't give romance points AFAIK, and you don't get an opportunity to do it after returning from the infernal site because the town will be burning so you can't even enter the temple without triggering the scene with Lady Yin and Jade.

      Delete
    2. "If you fight the skeletons on the bridge, the game crashes."

      which bridge is this, assuming in town when its on fire?

      Delete
    3. Yes, the bridge/jail where Regless steals the Sinister Necklace during the prologue. If you fight one of the two skeletons there when the town is burning, the game crashes, which can be annoying since one of the skeletons really likes sitting in the exit.

      Delete
    4. Thanks for the help. And since you only get the rope after clearing the Infernal Mine, I'm assuming the only opportunity to get the wind spirit is while the town is burning.

      I must have been confused about the mother. I thought one of the bugs fixed in an earlier update was farming Romance points with the mother by repeating that scene, but looking at the updates again, it seems it was repeating the conversation with her that farmed the points. If that had been the case, if figured there must be an earlier trigger for her, but I must have misremembered that.

      Is it possible to enter the swamp? I remember, on the way to the Infernal Mine, it said the smell was making me dizzy and to stay away. I didn't try afterwards, thinking I could come back. Are you able to enter the swamp after clearing the Mine, or is that area currently inaccessible?

      Things I still haven't figured out:

      The hole in the ground in Blight Woods where you rescue Leia. It says it's too small for even Leia to fit in. I tried going there with Ember, but it just repeated the message. That may have been fixed in V0.116.

      The wall in Blight Woods where it says it's soft, but still too hard to break through. I thought maybe you could blast your way in after Leia's explosives quest, but the text doesn't change.

      The hole in the ground inside the shack near Fai's house. Going there with Ember, it says she can fit in the hole, but she isn't strong enough to lift the lid of the chest. It implies you'll need someone else to do that. Maybe the Wind Spirit?

      The one raised chest in the big room beyond the locked door in the mine behind Fai's house.

      The level up crystal in the tunnels below Fort Shale.

      Betting past the fire into the room you get to through the secret passage in the tunnels below Fort Shale.

      I may have also missed a few things in the Castle and the Hive, but I haven't thoroughly explored those yet, so I won't beg for help until I've hit a dead end. Also, I'm missing those things everyone else seems to be missing, Kuga with the fish, Fujin, umbrella lady, etc.

      Delete
    5. Can't get anything from the holes yet, Ember isn't strong enough to open the chests inside them and you can't try to get to them after you get Whisper due to being forced to escape the town so it's probably for future use, same for the weak wall on the blight woods I guess.

      The chest in the mine can be gotten by going through a fake wall in the previous screen and climbing a ladder in the hidden room, it's a recipe IIRC. No idea about the level up crystal in Fort Shale, thought Lady Yin could help to bypass the fires but no luck with that. There's a level up crystal in the infested shrine I wasn't able to get either.

      Delete
    6. Okay, last unknowns, at least of things I've found. Maybe there are things I haven't seen yet.

      Kuro's Castle, West Wing: I can get into the first room, but I can't get past the gap in the floor.

      Kuro's Castle, East Wing: I can't get into the northwest room, the one with the trap that throws you back when you attempt to cross.

      Kuro's Castle, East Wing: I can't get into the southeast room. There seems to be nothing to grab onto to cross the gaps.

      Kuro's Castle, Everywhere: I found two parts of a scroll. One talks about the Emperor destroying everything and the other talks about monster cannibalism. I wonder how many more there are.

      Hive: Level up crystal on the stairs.

      I'm probably being dense with some of these, but since there seem to be somethings that are impossible to get, I figure it might be a good idea to at least see if these are possible before spending a lot of time looking for ways to get to them.

  27. Yo Regless, this is an awesome update to the game, have been a big fan since I played the prologue a while ago. Amazing work, art, plot, characters, everything is beautiful, it's hard to find a flaw in this gem, perhaps maybe the bone spirit being a bit useless in battle due to his small mana pool and low attack. I've been reading most of the posts above and managed to complete almost all the scenes and see all characters thanks to everyone's collective effort, but still couldn't find the one scene with the black cat eating a fish (under a table?), the characters Fujin and Umbrella Lady, and some battlers like Bao Shon and Commander Jade, could you give me some pointers about what I can actually find and what is not implemented yet so I don't end up on a wild-goose chase for too long? Thanks in advance!

    3. The Bone Spirit has good health and defense. He'd make an excellent tank if only he had a cheap ability to draw aggro. Personally, I find Leia the least useful. She's a glass cannon, but all of her abilities are so expensive, after only a few uses, she's spent. You either have to keep recharging her with potions or returning to the crystals. Given the crystal bug, I usually just let her get knocked out and walk around with her at 1 health most of the game.

      Delete
    4. Well, I tried going into the infernal site as the bone spirit and the only thing it changed was that I didn't get that scene with Dryden dreaming about the dead guard and also didn't get the chance to increase either Leia's of Fai's romance, even rushed to the mad furnace without doing anything else. Guess something else is the trigger to fight Bao Shon.

      "If" is the keyword there, and it also must be an ability that didn't consume any mana, his pool is low enough as it is so the elemental attacks can barely be used, also would be useless against AoE attacks some enemies and bosses like to use. Leia and Ryo are great to finish entire mobs of enemies, Big Bang+trash is usually enough to finish pretty much anything on the map, just stock some milk and you won't even have to hang around the crystals, money isn't an issue in this game after all.

    1. First you need to talk to Lady Yin in her room in the shrine. She'll give you back the armor and tell you to clean the shrine to the Bone Spirit. You need to first exit the shrine through the main entrance to the south. After the scene with Ryo and Leia, reenter the shrine and to through the north door on the first floor. Go straight north and interact with the shrine. You'll see a quest from each Ryo, Leia and Fai. Selects Ryo's twice, first to read it, second to select it. Next go to Ryo's house and talk to him. If he's in your party, you may need to drop him off first.

      Delete
    2. If you are wondering about where to do the quest, it's in the Mushroom Patch. Go to the Autumn Woods and take the path leading west that was blocked off by the guard during the prologue.

  30. 292 errors seem to happen around save points, for instance, bellow the cell, save at the checkpoint just about the rope upwards to the princess fight, return and defeat the elemental once more after having already defeated it, the error will trigger with 100% certainty when approaching the same crystal again. By version 1.1.15 there was also the save point near the fungus when entering the woods for the first time, same thing, save there, move upwards to the fungus, watch the event with Leia, move back to the crystal and done, but this one seems to have been fixed, so whatever is it that you are doing is working so far. There were others but I am not sure how to reproduce them. Also the game seems to be crash prone, but it is really random, last one happened after the fight with the princess at the cell.

They didn't jsut get wrongly named they were sorted into the same stack so instead of 2 different items with the same name their classified as the same item with the same stats as well as their stacked on each other so now I have 3 cracked bone helmets. All where the inventory is classifying them as the same item.

  34. This is rather early for this to come up, but have you considered what effects being worshipped will have on Dryden(when not the Bone Spirit) and those who worship the Bone Spirit? I know that you have a quest system of sorts tied to his shrine, but will there be lasting effects otherwise, such as 'edicts' or 'commands' that the Bone Spirit demands of those who worship him or even of just the mikos. What's more, will Dryden become a monk of the Bone Spirit or something, he's eventually gonna need some sort of connection to it or people are gonna start asking questions. Also, will there be areas where you have to stay as the Bone Spirit at all times? Kinda like Dryden in the village, but the other way around.

  35. Well, now that I'm intentionally trying to break as much stuff as possible i found a few more bugs:

    - You can change to Dryden inside the underground caves, and both Codachi and Lady Yin will still treat you as the Bone Spirit despite you not wearing your armor.

    - The guards at the entrance of the infernal site don't do anything if you go back past them after climbing back from the hole, can't interact with any of them either.

    - Tried dropping Fai at her house after being the Mad Furnace but before going into the burning town to see what happened, but the game still goes on just like she is in the party.

    - Can remove armor before confronting Jade at the temple, everyone still treats Dryden as the Bone Spirit.

    - In the room inside the breakable wall in blight woods from the Prove it quest, the sprites on the "second floor" sometimes disappear when you go down the stairs and reappear when you go up, and Fai also shows up for some reason despite being in the party, talking to her also makes the screen shift to the left.

    That's everything I got for now Regless, great job with the fixes btw, didn't find anything game-breaking anymore. I doubt you will answer these questions since they have been asked by some other people before but doesn't hurt to try: Is that scene with Kuga and the fish obtainable? Is it possible to fight Bao Shon? Found a battler for her in the game data, but in the infernal site the only outcomes I got were the one in which you save her from being hit by the furnace and another where she is hit and Ryo has to carry her to the entrance. Are we able to encounter Fujin and Umbrella Lady in chapter 1?

  36. IS there anyway to access the hole below the mayor's house in the village. I'm guessing there's an invisible path but i can't find it.
    Also, is the "Prove it" quest story related? if not, when/where can i access it?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I managed to get there once, although I couldn't get back out, so it may have been a glitch. I haven't been able to repeat it. Anyway, there's nothing in the hole, or, more accurately, the hole does not respond to walking on it or using the action key, so it's probably empty. On the other hand, if I did glitch, it might have affected the hole as well. Who knows?

      As for the 'Prove It" quest, it is not related. For that quest, you need to advance the plot until Lady Yin is arrested and spend the night at Fai's house. Then you need to drop off all the party members, so you are solo. Then go to the Bone Spirit shrine behind the Temple. The quest will now be available. It takes place in the Blight Woods.

  44. This game keeps getting more and more awesome. Noticed a few odd quirks/glitches though. I lost a few items by equipping them to people in the blight woods. When they rejoined me in the first chapter, the equipment was gone. Also for some reason, the game sometimes crashes after I talk to the woman blacksmith. Bao I think her name is. Doesn't always happen, but sometimes when I get done talking to her, it'll crash a few seconds to a minute after. And one thing that is more of a question....and a spoiler warning....I ran into female Reglass, but I couldn't find hte key the male one had. Did I miss something after the run in with the beer mine on the river, or is the quest only completable in a later chapter?

    3. Perhaps. I'm just wondering because of two things. Due to certain events, and the fact you run into the beer mine. Funny thing, I never realized the beer mine was a mine as in "Goes boom".

  46. The first objective of The Ice Princess never got completed for me. I picked up Ryo at Fai's house, saw the cutscene where everybody decided to go underground, went to Shale Fort, and cleared the dungeon, but the first objective never got completed, so the quest remained active until the end of the game.

    I had a similar issue with Runaway Mushroom, though in this case I figured out what caused the problem and was able to solve it by loading an earlier save. The problem was that Ryo was already in the party when I accepted the quest, and an error always occurred whenever I tried to return him to his house. Since I couldn't return him to his house, I couldn't ask him to explain the quest. I could go to the forest and hunt the mushrooms, but since the first objective never got completed, the quest never got cleared.

    Related to the above, every time I tried to return Ryo to his house while Runaway Mushrooms was active, the game crashed with the following error:

  49. Is there a wiki for this game anywhere? I've kinda gotten stuck in the I've princess mission. I've forgotten how to move forward with the plot, and get to the level up crystal after getting Lady Yin.

  51. Gotten a bit stuck and I can't seem to find any information online to help. I've just beaten the boss in the Shale Fort caves for the Ice Princess quest and I have no idea what to do now.

    The quest hasn't updated beyond "Gather your friends and proceed to the Shale Fort" so I'm just wandering around flipping switches that don't do anything new and fighting annoying spiders.

  53. I've finally gotten the level up crystal in the prison dungeon, all you gotta do is enter the caves through the hole in Codachi's cell when returning from the Infernal site, funny thing is that I did it during a private action in Fort Shale. Did anyone manage to fight Bao Shon yet? I guess it's impossible in this chapter despite there being a battle sprite for her in the game's data, considering there's also the fact that everyone is with you in the Infernal site so I don't see you battling her with your entire party, same for Kuga or Rin...

    1. I would assume you can fight bao shon in this version based on this

      -Mad Furnace can lock up if Bao Shon saved.

      I assume this means you can somehow fight/save bao shon at an earlier time possibly before she gets to the infernal site. Just a guess though.

      Delete
    2. It's just an assumption from me, but when Regless says "Bao Shon saved" he means that she doesn't get burned by the Mad Furnace. If you enter the boss screen as Dryden, he will take a moment to change into the Bone Spirit armor and in that short time Bao Shon will be burned by the furnace, hence you "fail to save" her.

  55. Regless, I have an idea for replacing the mimic in Kuro's Castle. It might be a stupid idea, but here it goes. Have some sort of shapeshifting telepathic ghost/monster. It could originally appear as Lady Yin or Dryden's mother or someone friendly, so you could replace it with that sprite on the map, but once they interact with it, it transforms into Jade or something and attacks. It could also start as an indistinct, shadowy figure, but I'm trying to come up with an idea that allows you to reuse assets you already have in game. You could probably just reuse the stats, attacks and whatnot from the mimic. You can even have Fai offer a similar warning about how the situation seems suspicious so that the player gets a choice to interact or leave.

    After the battle, the characters can wonder about what happened, perhaps celebrate over defeating Jade, when Fai informs them that it wasn't Jade, it was a Jorougumo, or whatever you decide to call it, and she can explain it's nature and abilities, i.e. it's a shapeshifter that can transform into someone you love to draw you in or someone you fear to strike terror into you and gain an advantage.

    As for rewards, I'm don't make these games, so I'm no expert on balancing, but there are two abilities I think current party members could use. For the Bone Spirit, he could use a 5-10 mana ability to draw aggro for a few turns so he can be a more effective meat shield. You could call it Twisted Visage or something. Maybe some of the shapeshifter's blood got on his mask, allowing it to twist into a grotesque form others want to smash. You could maybe have a joke where he learns about it and his own party beats him reflexively. The other potential ability would be a similar cost attack for Leia, basically a Small Bang. Something not as powerful as Big Bang that maybe only targets a single enemy. I can't think of a good excuse why the encounter I proposed would grant that ability, though. Maybe you could keep the mimic and just have Leia discover some small explosives among the corpses or something.

    Anyway, it's perhaps a stupid idea, but I thought I'd share it in case it helps.

    1. Not stupid at all. At least I don't think so. I looked into a provoke type skill for Dryden already and was unable to find a script for it. And a shape shifter idea sounds sounds like some I can use, just not at the moment.

      Delete
    2. Thanks for the response. It's just that you can never truly be sure an idea is any good so long as it's just rolling around inside your head. I thought provoke would be fairly easy to implement, since I've played a few games with it, but those may have all been VX Ace, and those scripts won't necessarily be compatible with other versions of RPG Maker.

      Anyway, I'm sorry my ideas can't help in the short term, but I'm glad to hear one may help eventually. One last thing, while I have your attention, who is Mei? At the very beginning of the game, when Dryden's mother is sending him to get food, she says, "There's no point hunting anything with teeth as long as Mei has my skinning knife." Or something like that anyway. Is that supposed to be Fai, or Mei a different character we haven't met?

  56. Well, more bugs/typos from where my previous post left off. Still version 0.1.16

    Bugs

    http://prntscr.com/8ytb0l Odd appearance of the interaction point here, for this event, when triggered before talking to Dryden's Mom for the quest update. Just left

    the village after Leia joined the party.

    http://prntscr.com/8ytefl http://prntscr.com/8yteik Between these two lines of dialogue, the customer in this event vanishes instead of running out. Not sure why he

    simply disappears here when he ran in past Dryden for the start of the event.

    http://prntscr.com/8ytgtx Should this conversation with Toshi trigger before you talk to Dryden's Mom for the first quest update?

    http://prntscr.com/8yth0r This event triggered in Private Action mode, without Leia in the party. Unsure if events that progress the story are allowed in Private

    Action, but Leia should not be here at the moment.

    http://prntscr.com/8ytibx After this line when talking to Dryden's Mom for the first time, the Quest Updated sound goes off and the quest itself is updated, but the

    image saying Quest Updated is not shown.

    http://prntscr.com/8ytikt Another comment by Leia when in Private Action mode, so she isn't there

    http://prntscr.com/8ytkvm A couple of tiles that cannot be walked on even when they have nothing on them in this area.

    http://prntscr.com/8ytsxb Is this supposed to be a thought or something Dryden says out loud? Several of his responses have this appearance, and then it switches to a

    regular text box afterwards.

    3. The vast majority is just typos, the bugs are at the beginning. No real rush for dealing with the typos, they don't cause the game to outright fail to respond like the forced movement bug in the temple. Just adding the typos as I find them for now. On a side note, I seem to have completely avoided the 292 errors/crashes so far by having the RPG VX RTP installed, with English unicode settings, and running the game as an admin. Still haven't unlocked crafting in this run though, so that may cause issues.
