I am soooo buggy!

Unread post by Laughingman »

Alright this is getting serious. When I casted sending it sent to me instead of the target. Also it was called "Sending4"

Earlier today my spells were all randomly failing despite having 0%ASF

and no the monster wasn't standing where I cast it. Nothing was hitting me either. This happened to Isaacs greater missile storm and fire orb as well.

Yesterday I couldn't select the box to change the description of an item no matter how many times I tried. Today it works and I am told that it is a common temporary bug. I am not so sure.

I cannot use keys. More precisely my character defaults to pick lock if I click on any locked door even if I have a key. I can right click to "use" the door in some areas but it is frustrating and I think doesn't work in some areas.

Guards use to attack me. Well actually all the NPC's use to attack me. They have since stopped but WTF was up with that?

The party invite GUI doesn't appear.

There's just a minor error in the TLK file, a stray "4" somehow found its way onto the end of the spell's name. Sending (or "Sending4" as it is now known in legends across the realm) is working properly, I just logged in to test it. The message always appears above your own PC/in your own chat log, this is normal, the other person is still receiving it if you formatted it correctly as shown here:

Every bug you described is normal. For the party invite GUI to appear you need to reactivate some UI option or something, it happens to everybody.

Not being able to select the box happens to everybody too. You just have to keep clicking until you can select it, sometimes it takes 8-10 clicks or more.

All characters default to Pick Lock on doors.

Sometimes NPCs turn hostile and attack you, usually because you've done something that the game thinks should flag you hostile towards that faction (it's a strange bug, but it happens).

NWN2 is an 11-year old game and most of our systems are highly customized (and in some cases held together with duct tape and barbed wire). You just need to be patient, these bugs are all common (except for the spell casting failure thing, and honestly depending on when that happened this morning it very well may have been after I did a live script dump into the module shortly before resetting it.)

I mean if I go to vault of the dead, and get the key, and click on the door it tells me I do not have this skill. It never did this before. This is not normal for me and has never been. Normally I click on a door and it defaults to "use" and opens it if I have the key. If I do not have a key it defaults to pick lock. This is different from what it does now though.

Sending4 as shown in my screenshot shows that I am receiving my own sending. When I PM the person it was meant for they say they do not receive it some of the time. Some of the time they do. It is hit and miss.

Actually the key thingie isn't a new occurrence for me. If you do not have lockpicking skill, one lonely point would be enough, it doesn't default to open the locked door with the key and you have to apply the use option.

Might be you have lockpick skill points in which case it would be a new bug.

Does anyone know how to put all the doors back to default action "Use" instead of Pick Lock? I am assuming this was a server side change since all at once the default action changed a while back?

PMing Dev and Scripters for this as well.

^ that makes a lot more sense. I mean it might have something to do with the portal in the ulcaster ruins.

The door thing has driven me nuts ever since I started on the server. I have to right click and "use" when I have a key (And I have zero lockpicking skill, if that matters). If there's an easy way to fix that, I'd appreciate it.

My "sending" now also says "sending4", but I think that was addressed already. I'm assuming that it will be fixed with an update later.

I've noticed some spells failing when I'm casting in armor when I use "auto still spell". Magic Circle Against Alignment never worked with auto still spell. I had to prepare it as a still spell, even when I had auto still.
