List of reported bugs

[CutmanMike]

Due to the HUGE, HUUUUUGE amount of bug reports I've been getting I've decided to make this thread to highlight ones that aren't bugs and show the ones that will be fixed in the final version.

General Bugs

MM8BDM won't run/crashes! - Try in OpenGL mode and visa versa (from the launcher first). If it's still broken, Please post a new topic about it.
 Bots suck/get stuck/don't work with saves/blahblah - Anything related to bots is Skulltag's fault and not the ST developer's main priority. Save games etc will probably never work with bots.
 Speech bubbles/team icons remain on the ground - Working as intended. I like to see when my fallen foe is about to whine or whatever at me.

 Font is very difficult to read sometimes - Completely agree, will try to fix.[/color]
 Crosshairs are difficult to see - I agree, but I don't think there's too much I can do about it. We'll see what happens. (DTD suggests dropping the console with the ` key, and typing "Crosshairscale 1" to increase the size of your crosshair)
 Other none Deathmatch games aren't working correctly - Because they aren't supported. More will be functional in the final version.
 Some extra maps are selectable but don't work in offline skirmish - These are skulltag's base maps, they cannot be played correctly.

Weapon Bugs

You can pick up weapon energy regardless of whether you need it or not - Hopefully it can be fixed, but due to the way the weapon system works it may not happen.
 Online, weapons sometimes fire from the wrong weapon when switching etc - The stability of the weapon changing should be fixed for the final version.
 Quick boomerang is too strong! - Keep your distance and you won't get murdered by it. This is harder in more popular games though so I can understand why people think this.
 Rolling cutter is too strong! - Dodge it. If someone hits you with this from a distance most likely they have good aim and deserve the kill!
 Napalm bomb is too strong! - In crowded games it is hard to avoid, but in quieter games you'll find that getting kills with this weapon is difficult.
 Magnet Missile is too weak! - Fixed for the final version.
 Thunder Bream is too weak! - Not sure about that, I seem to die to it often enough. Will consider fixing it.
 Atomic fire kills in one hit OMGWTF BROKEN - Look, try using it once in a while. It takes forever to charge and uses lots of ammo. If you kill with this you've earned it.
 Gemini lasers bounce around forever! - No they don't, they expire after a few seconds.
 Rolling cutter doesn't return to you through walls! - Yes it does, look again!
 Ring Boomerang vanishes when it runs out of ammo! - Fixed.

Map Bugs

The teleport spot in Wily 3 is a serious camping zone - Should be better in the final version where the weapon sets are different. No napalm bomb up there in the final.

 You can climb the walls opposite the ladder entrances in MM1CUT - Will fix for the latest version.[/color]
 If someone enters the teleport after you, you die! - Have you not played Doom online? This is intentional!

More will be added when I get em

[*] Crosshairs are difficult to see - I agree, but I don't think there's too much I can do about it. We'll see what happens.

Crosshairscale 1
That should do the trick. If not, then you should change the colour of your crosshair until you find one that works for you (Crosshaircolor ).

[CutmanMike]

Ah, I shall add that. Good thinking! I should probably add bigger crosshairs by default if I can't give them multiple colors.

To make your crosshair always visable, copy this into your console:

Code: [Select]

Alias Seizurecolor "Crosshaircolor magenta; wait 1; Crosshaircolor cyan;wait 1; Seizurecolor"
After that then type in the console:

Code: [Select]

Seizurecolor
You have to type that in each round though... or you can type in:

Code: [Select]

bind m Seizurecolor
Now every time you press the m key your crosshair will start flashing.

I was thinking something like that, but doesn't that get you kicked for changing settings frequently? If not that is awesome and will probably build it into the game somehow

Why are all the weapon bug list complaints and not bugs at all?

[PowerGloveNinja]

OK when playing on Needleman's stage i picked up all the weapon's possible when playing a free-for-all of 3 players including myself. When switching through a few i noticed Ring Boomerang low on weapon energy so picked up some weapon capsule's to refill. Then i noticed the Bar showing you how much ammo you have wouldn't fill up at all for Ring Boomerang. I didn't get to test it out longer before some one killed me, but i think you should know of this.

It doesn't kick you from the server. It's entirely client sided.

Because a lot of people send me bug reports that aren't bugs at all, so hopefully they'll read the list first

Yay new bug!
Okay, I was doing an Offline Skirmish, all was normal. The game ended as one of the bots (I used a full set of bots) won the game. For a moment, it was all normal.

Instead of it taking me to the menu, though, it took me to the screen it takes you to after you beat the tournament. You know, the whole "Play as your favorite RMs" and stuff. When the montage ended, it started me in Cutman's stage, with the same bots as before!

No clue what happened.

Cutman's Stage
There's a climbable wall at the Napalm Bomb platform.

That sounds more like a feature. Was it the wily stage by any chance? After that stage, the next map in the rotation is the intermission screen, and then the cutman stage.

[TERRORsphere]

Don't forget to make the quit messages more Megamanish. They are still the Doom ones at the moment.

On my list of crap to do

Ah, yeah, it was. Also, during the intermission, the bots were still chatting, so I had all these Fans shouting "Your not as tough as the Constellation Droids!" and "I hope this is a misunderstanding!"
