Lich Quirks

[DevNull]

I have noticed the following quirk with lich when running wizard's scripts. The counter variable is not working properly:


#testwiz.cmd

counter set 10

echo counter is %c
counter add -1
echo counter is %c
counter add -2
echo counter is %c



>;w testwiz
--- Lich: testwiz.cmd active.
[testwiz.cmd: counter is 10]
[testwiz.cmd: counter is 11]
[testwiz.cmd: counter is 13]
--- Lich: testwiz.cmd has finished.

Latest version, windows XP.

I'll keep posting more quirks for debugging as I find them. Oh and in case it's not obvious, this is a great program. Keep up the good work. :)

Did you also notice that your account is going to be hacked soon?

[Bobmuhthol]

It's Lich's fault that you used add instead of subtract, I guess.

I'm posting a quirk. It's a small bug by any account, but it is nontheless a bug. Adding a negative number should work in a scripting language.

When dying, I am getting the following error message:

[..]
...departing in 10 mins...
[..]
[infomonitor: can't convert Fixnum into String]

After looking at infomonitor, the error happens when you call

Spell[6666].putup

changing the previous line

Spell.new(6666, 'Decaying', 0, 0, '1', 'IdoNOTexiStDonOTMatcHmE!!','IdoNOTexiStDonOTMatcH mE!!')

into

dur='0';cost='0';misc='1'
Spell.new(6666, 'Decaying', dur, cost, misc, 'IdoNOTexiStDonOTMatcHmE!!','IdoNOTexiStDonOTMatcH mE!!')

fixes the problem. I have not seen the code for Spell.putup, but I'm assuming it uses some sort of eval procedure that just isn't liking the 'plain' 0s there.

What is it with you, Xyelin; that's three separate times in three separate threads you've claimed I wrote Lich to hack accounts. It might help your position if you like, oh, I dunno... provided some explanation or evidence or something like that. Either provide some sort of reasoning for your claims or stop babbling about it, would you.

Anyway. On the "counter add -2" thing: you're right, technically it's something that should be handled properly but that obviously isn't. I never considered somebody trying that... well, fixed it for the next update; thanks for pointing it out to me.

That infomonitor error must be pretty damn irritating; I'll fix the installer-distributed copy so people don't have to shut it up by hand. I don't play much and don't die very often even when I am in-game... probably been that way for ages without my noticing it.

I wish I could write a program that automatically debugs other programs. Not only would I be rich, but my life would be so, so much easier.

[DevNull]

As usual, thanks a lot for the quick responses! :)

And autodebug would be nice, heh. At least it wasn't difficult to get infomonitor fixed. With that little change it started keeping track of my time to depart like a charm.

[Aithzar]

Thats my bad, I fixxed the infomon bug on my end a while back, and don't die often. Usually I get these things to Shae but totally forgot about it.

Aith's not joking... like 3/4 of the bugs I've fixed in the last month or two I only found out about because he never gets tired of telling me what's wrong with my program, lol.

And you're welcome; I'm not always around, but I try to address issues whenever I am. Keep 'em coming and I'll keep fixing 'em :)

[DevNull]

Heh. Hmm, so am I the other 25%? :)

[Shaelun]

Yeah, you and Toy, basically. Not many people like to bother reporting bugs.
