Demise: Rise of the Ku'tan: Wondering about two things

Wondering about two things

I was wondering about these two things... 1. I got this error: Error occured in Demise modDEMISEMonsters: MonsterAttack This error didn't seem to have any negative effects though. I was just wondering if anyone knew what I did to trigger it. I had a few slimes as pets at the time, maybe it was that? 2. There has been some talk of a patch. If the programmer making the patch doesn't have a long history with this game, it is my uneducated assumption that he will have trouble knowing what to fix. He might read/ask at the boards, but I think a bug list provided by some of the more experienced members of this fourum would be helpful to him/her. (I think this for a variety of reasons which I will discuss if anyone asks me to.) This list could contain each bug's severity as well, so he would know what to fix if he didn't have the luxury of enough time to fix all of the bugs. Also, if some of you are programmers, perhaps you could put an rough estimate of how difficult of a problem each bug would be to fix. It seems to me that the paladin's spell levels would be easier to fix than the database code, but I don't really know. Maybe some of you can estimate? Something like this: BUG: SP range bug Effects: This bug makes it a spell cast by a character who isn't in the first slot can't effect the enemy etc etc etc Severity: Not a fatal bug. Effects play mechanics at (some level the authors of the list can agree on). Estimated difficluty to fix: (something here, maybe time in days or lines of code or some other measure) I think there may be some argument as to how severe each bug is, and I don't have any strong ideas as to how to get around this. I don't know if the paladin spell bug is as bad as the sp range bug, I am not a very experienced player and don't even know all the bugs. Maybe it would be too much of a pain to make this list, or maybe it would be easy, I don't know. Maybe there already is such a list. What do you think?

Believe it or not, that list already exists on the Demise homepage at: http://www.artifact-entertainment.com/demise/buglist.shtml Have fun with your new addiction.

Was that down for a while? I seem to remember looking for it and not finding it! I don't think its current ... for example you cannot annotate any square in the extreme left column of the map - I don't see a reference to that?

Well if their realy porting it to C++ It seems to me they'll probbly be rewriteing most of it and we'll have a whole new crop of bugs to deal with.

I can see it now, instead of id'ing centaurs as certain molds, the mold really will be with a centaur pics
