after being away for a while, I decided to download the latest experimental and get back into the game. However, almost immediately, I have come across a couple of bugs that, while not game-breaking, are making it very difficult for me to play.
The first bug happens in the inventory, and it involves wielded items not being given a letter. This means that I have to manually move to the item with the arrow keys, and then press ENTER to do anything. This is fine until I need to place an item on a slot that I cannot physically move onto, like some of the basement shelves.
The second bug involves the layering of clothing. Before leaving the shelter, my Lost Submissive character wanted to put on an emergency blanket, but the game wouldn’t let me because it said I was already wearing footwear. I tried taking off my character’s boots, which then let me put on the emergency blanket. But then she was not able to put the boots back on, and I received the same message as above…
I used a soldering iron to reinforce an improvised lockpick. My mechanics skill did not increase, which has been the skill that is trained previously when 'a’pplying a soldering iron. Neither was fabrication, tailoring, or electronics (as far as appropriate substitute skills may constitute).
Gutted! Just tried the latest experimental Windows Tiles build, and both the bugs I reported are still there. The build is 0.C-12632-g7e7570f.
With the missing inventory letters bug, this only seems to happen with certain items, perhaps ones with a changeable state. When I pick up the folded emergency blanket from the starting shelter locker, this does not have a letter, and it doesn’t get one once I have (a)ctivated the blanket to unfold it, either. Not sure if it’s related, but I have Auto Inventory Letters set to True. I did try setting it to False, but then of course, none of my inventory items have letters, and I’m not sure how you’re supposed to add letters to them, for quick selection.
The other bug is still there also, whereby I am not allowed to put on the unfolded emergency blanket because apparently, ‘You are already wearing footwear.’
Here’s really hoping one of the uber-brainy guys can fix these, as I have no clue how to program anything…
‘You are already wearing footwear.’ is a message that I have received (same version a posted previously …ee227) when I have tried to put on a sheet, something that has not happened before.
The best way to get attention for your bug is to report them on Github. Make sure to provide the necessary steps to reliably reproduce the problem as well.
That is not a bug to me. That is not preventing you from doing anything. You can still access items on a tile you cannot move onto by examining it (default key is [tt]e[/tt]). If you believe this to be a bug, I highly suggest you report it on the github issue tracker. Try to report your bugs effectively.
No offence, but I think you need to reread what I wrote, and please don’t tell me how to report bugs ‘effectively’, which I’ve been doing on this very forum for some years now…
