Wcervantes: /* Finding Dropped Items */

{| cellpadding=10 align=right
| __TOC__
|}

This page is for adding reports of possible bugs. Once the bug has been confirmed, it can be moved into the Known Bugs section.

== Possible Bugs ==

=== GPS Underground ===
GPS probably shouldn't work in caves/tunnels etc.

=== Rats in Rocks ===
I've seen rats twice now in what appears to be Solid-Rock. I couldn't get near them and the square appeared blank (no style) apart from the rat. I checked the source and the class was "map density" --[[User:Dr. J|Dr. J]] 16:42, 15 February 2006 (GMT)
:They'd obviously crawled down a crack that was too narrow to show up on the map. --[[User:Snarf|Snarf]] 19:22, 15 February 2006 (GMT)
:: :P Well ok, so it's a graphics glitch then as the rock wasn't shown. --[[User:Dr. J|Dr. J]] 00:21, 16 February 2006 (GMT)

=== Consistent Animal Spawning ===
I killed a wild boar in the jungle, stayed in the same square, and a few minutes later another wild boar appeared in the same square. I killed it, another one appeared, killed that, and now there's another one there. Three times, i didn't see it move to the square, it seemed to spawn in the same square, within minutes of the kill. Is animal spawning non-random or is this a coincidence? If non-random, this seems buggy since it makes for too easy a way to gain XP, just hang out in the same square. --frisco
:This happened to me, except with parrots. I don't think its unusual or bad to find a "den" where a certain number of creatures are likely to spawn from. I agree that it should be looked at, it could lead to camping/guarding such areas.--[[User:Jackel|Jackel]] 17:45, 23 February 2006 (GMT)

:Seen this too now, with parrots, does look buggy to me. --[[User:Murk|Murk]] 18:25, 23 February 2006 (GMT)

::This was only a bug for a few days, and was fixed today. Let me know if you're still experiencing this effect. --[[User:Simon|Simon]] 20:43, 23 February 2006 (GMT)

== Fixed Bugs ==

=== Character Creation ===
Attempting to sign up for an account, I'm finding that regardless of the combination of fields filled vs. left blank, I get the error "Please ensure you fill in all fields marked with a *" Notwithstanding that there are no fields maked with a *, I've attempted every possible combination of optional fields filled vs. left blank. (All 16 of them) and get the same error. I've also tried three different usernames, in case it's a reporting error, and the problem is that the username I want is taken already. --[[User:Feegle|Feegle]] 16:07, 11 February 2006 (GMT)

-Confirmation
I encountered the same error as well. --[[User:aidurandal|aidurandal]] 16:36, 11 February 2006 (GMT)

-Confirmation
Happened to me as well.--[[User:Dr. Doom|Dr. Doom]] 16:50, 11 February 2006 (GMT)

-Confirmation
Encountered the same error. --[[User:Caribbean Ghost|Caribbean Ghost]] 17:47, 11 February 2006 (GMT)

-Confirmation
Happened to me.When are they going to fix this??--[[User:X10000|X10000|]]

-Calm down, X10000. I first reported this bug under three hours ago. Considering that the author likely isn't making a whole lot of money on this game, he isn't on call 24 hours a day. I suspect he'll fix it as fast as he can. --[[User:Feegle|Feegle]] 18:56, 11 February 2006 (GMT)

- Sorry. Should be fixed now. --[[User:Simon|Simon]] 23:01, 11 February 2006 (GMT)

=== Profile Error Relating to Hit Limit? ===
My characters (3 of them) all have "This character not subject to the IP limit" at the bottom of their profile page. I have not donated to support the game yet (waiting until it gets more fleshed out, plus it seems very difficult to go up levels, especially past first). Bug? --[[User:Meatiershower|Meatiershower]] 23:35, 10 February 2006 (GMT)
:Whoops! Fixed now. -Simon

=== Refresh uses AP ===

When you refresh it repeats your last action - I refreshed to see if sombody had replied to me. But i wasted AP by running about. - [[User:Durja|Durja]] 18:16, 5 February 2006 (GMT)
:This isn't a bug as such. It's a natural side effect of pressing refresh. -Simon
::Is it possible to edit this? I play Urban Dead and that doesnt repeat your last move - it is very handy to check up on your current statis without wasting AP. - [[User:Durja|Durja]] 21:15, 5 February 2006 (GMT)
::To rework the movement may be a bit complicated. How about just having a button labelled "Refresh" that doesn't use any AP? -Simon
::: That would be very much appricated. Thanks. [[User:Durja|Durja]] 18:12, 6 February 2006 (GMT)
::: Refresh Page button added -[[User:Simon|Simon]] 09:47, 7 February 2006 (GMT)

===Grassland Colour===

Grassland changed from pale yellow to medium brown when I hit the 'out of AP' screen. --[[User:Kevan|Kevan]] 13:06, 30 January 2006 (GMT)
:Fixed, just cosmetic hiccup --[[User:Simon|Simon]] 22:02, 3 February 2006 (GMT)

===Yellow Jungle===

Moai's found some [http://i1.tinypic.com/n3kt91.jpg mysterious yellow jungle squares] near the beach on the south coast (a bit west of centre). They don't have any text descriptions. --[[User:Kevan|Kevan]] 09:17, 3 February 2006 (GMT)
:Fixed, purely cosmetic --[[User:Simon|Simon]] 11:54, 3 February 2006 (GMT)

== Not Bugs ==

=== Finding Dropped Items ===
I dropped my machete by mistake due to clumsy fingers. Searching doesn't find it again - surely if I drop something I should be able to pick it up again? --[[User:Torok|Torok]]
:As with UD (the game Shartak is based on) dropping something is akin to getting rid of it. This isn't a bug, just don't have clumsy fingers--[[User:Jackel|Jackel]] 17:41, 23 February 2006 (GMT)
:Quite right. I have considered implementing semi-sticky objects such that if you drop something, and then search immediately, you'll actually find the thing you dropped, but thought that might annoy rather than actually be useful since often if you drop something you don't want to find it again!
:What about doing it on purpose to pass on objects? Could it work?--[[User:Wcervantes|Wcervantes]] 03:51, 24 February 2006 (GMT)

=== IP Hit Limit 250? ===
I have been playing three characters, but hit the IP limit after only moving two of my characters, and then only partially. It seems that it may not have the 250 hit limit as explained. Is it possible that it does not? EDIT- Just moved my three characters. 45AP, 30AP, 75AP, ran out of hits before I used all the points. Seems 150 or so appears to be the limit?--[[User:Meatiershower|Meatiershower]] 23:35, 10 February 2006 (GMT)
:Have been unable to reproduce this problem, but there are 4 characters not 3 with the same IP as yours. --[[User:Simon|Simon]] 17:04, 14 February 2006 (GMT)
::Roger that, started another since original posting, Simon. I suppose I should ask exactly what the IP limit is (250, as stated?), and then back-track from there to make sure there actually is a problem. Also, when the 24 hour period resets? That will give me a time to count from.--[[User:Meatiershower|Meatiershower]] 21:49, 14 February 2006 (GMT)
::: Simon - It appears that there is no bug. I just made 244 moves, and looked at a Profile or two also. Miscounting on my part most likely. I'm liking this game more and more too. Fast AP recovery, cool stuff to find (just found a knife), high AP total, etc. Fun. --[[User:Meatiershower|Meatiershower]] 00:33, 15 February 2006 (GMT)
:::: Excellent. Moving to "Not a bug" --[[User:Simon|Simon]] 01:58, 15 February 2006 (GMT)

=== Negative AP? ===

Moving in water with only a single AP resulted in me having -1 AP. - Dr. J
:Water movement (as standard) takes 2AP. Negative AP is perfectly possible, I don't consider this to be a bug. - Simon

== Animal Spawning ==
Does anyone suspects how this works? I killed a Wild Boar and a Tiger, in the same spot, and two hours later, they were alive again. I don't know if because of a bug, or because they simply can revive? Has anyone encountered the same?--[[User:Wcervantes|Wcervantes]] 19:19, 21 February 2006 (GMT)

Wcervantes: /* Radio beacon/receiver */

Suggestions for Shartak are always welcome, although there's no guarantee that anything will be added. Comments on or modifications for any of the suggestions below can be added by editing this page. Please be considerate and don't just remove ideas that you don't like.

Begin a new item with a * and "sign" your suggestions using <nowiki>-- ~~~~</nowiki> so we know who to blame ;)

Bug reports should go on the [[Bugs]] page.

{| cellpadding=10 align=right
| __TOC__
|}

== Skills ==

=== Tracking ===
Anyone with the Tracking skill should be able to track where people have gone, either generic "A native passed by here recently" or more specific "Average Joe left heading north 2 days ago".

''Comments''
* Should probably be a timelimit so you don't see "Average Joe left heading north 90 days ago". - [[User:Snarf|Snarf]]

== Items ==

=== Head-shrinking powder ===
This could be either a melee or area weapon used by natives.

''Comments''
* What are the effects of it? Causes X HP of damage? Loss of AP? Loss of XP? Instant death? - [[User:Snarf|Snarf]]

=== Meat ===
Heals 2 HP. Used by both outsiders and tribals. It appears in your inventory when you kill a beastie. [[User:Bungalow Bill|Bungalow Bill]]
* But you can only carry 200 pounds of meat back to your wagon. <nowiki></oregontrail></nowiki> --[[User:Lint|Lint]] 01:15, 13 February 2006 (GMT)

=== Radio beacon/receiver ===
A radio beacon/receiver for outsiders to pinpoint specific locations of interest.

''Comments''
* What's wrong with using the GPS co-ordinates of a specific location? - [[User:Snarf|Snarf]]
*Perhaps a way to have GPS waypoints or markers IN one own's GPS? --[[User:Wcervantes|Wcervantes]] 19:39, 16 February 2006 (GMT)

== Other ==

=== Tunnels ===
Tunnels underneath the island lead to interesting places.
:How do you know they don't exist? :) [[User:Dr._J|Dr. J]]

=== Treasure to capture ===
"Capture the flag" type objective, in this case the flags are treasure from each village. Bonus points in the form of XP or gold coins to be awarded to the holder of the treasure at certain intervals.

=== Writing on the tree (or sand) ===
Should be able to write stuff in the sand on the beaches and carve short messages into trees in the jungle. To avoid "carve-wars" the only way to get rid of messages on trees could be to chop the jungle down and wait for it to grow again before you can write a new message. -- [[User:Snarf|Snarf]] 22:32, 27 January 2006 (GMT)

=== Informational messages ===
You should be able to see what other people have done since your past turn. Much like the skill above, except for most actions that take place. Such as '[09:34]Joe used a medkit on Roger' or '[05:23]Dan Attacked a Boar and missed'. If this is implemented, there should be a menu that you can use to toggle certain bits of information, to reduce or stop spam. [[User:Durja|Durja]] 18:14, 6 February 2006 (GMT)

''Comments''
:I don't want to see when people miss attacks, that's just too much information (unless it's me that they're attacking!) - [[User:Snarf|Snarf]]
:Would be useful to see when kills are made in the same location eg. Dan killed a boar or Joe killed Roger - [[User:Snarf|Snarf]]
:How about making a list of "informational messages" that might be required? - [[User:Snarf|Snarf]]
:* PlayerX killed PlayerY.
:* PlayerX killed animal.
:* PlayerY died from eating some poisonous berries. (self-inflicted death)

=== Jungle Skills ===
The jungle environment has great potential to add significant dynamic to this game. These could be a set of skills to reflect this.
: Jungle Lore: Player has x% chance of discovering item/artifact. Might work in conjunction with search skill.
: Make/Detect Traps: Spikes, Pits etc... Not sure this is possible and what would be need to time degrade this.[[User:Nankilstlas|Nankilstlas]]

Coordinates are in the form [-70.366, 26.443], where the first number is the X coordinate (longitude) and the second is the Y coordinate (latitude). Moving a single square represents a change in coordinate in that direction of 0.001.

Seems that signal is available only in non dense jungle areas.--[[User:Wcervantes|Wcervantes]] 19:00, 16 February 2006 (GMT)
