CSB compass (v0.16)

Post by Sphenx »

Taking the compass in the worms room and turning will always crash the game (at least for me). Does anyone experienced the same thing?

Confirmed.

If you place the compass in a champions hand, then turn left or right, the game crashes. If you place the compass straight into an inventory slot, then switch back to dungeon view, you can move around without crashing. If you then switch to the inventory view of the character holding the compass, RTC crashes.

This is in the CSB dungeon. Will test DM too, though I assume it'll also crash if it's in the code - can't see how the dungeon would affect this.

Have also confirmed that same behaviour is exhibited in the DM dungeon.

Interestingly, you can turn/walk around, then as long as you face the original direction and you don't crash when checking your inventory.
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!

Jup, when taking the compass or looking at it while you face northward in DM Level 3 doesn´t cause a crash, only when the game tries to show the compass-icon of another direction it crashes.
