The secret to getting all the important stuff done is doing nothing.
Re: Holiday Event [TEST]
please also try to form groups and see how the end fight goes, (after someone fixed the mess we caused on test server). If it is too easy or too hard or whatever, be as verbose as possible ( i also read long text )
And if you have problems determinating what your next step of action should be, reread the npc you visited before, if you still do not understand what to do please post here or PM me or wushin, because then you are on to a usability issue.
Thx for testing
PS: If you report it is most convenient you write your location on the map ( F10 - player position ) or the name of the npc you are haveing problems with and your quest state (the debug santas should inform you about that).

Re: Holiday Event [TEST]
First of all a great thanks to our devoted testers With your help we were able to determine quite some inconveniences / bugs in the quest line, as of now those are:
Currently known issues:
Currently known issues:
- Orum's Homunculus talks to players as if they had met before (likely fixed, not yet on testing)
- Christmas Stockings have weird stats (fixed not yet on testing)
- Debug NPC doesnt show if boss fight status is completed (likely fixed, not yet on testing)
- The christmas trees are clickable but do not respond (same should go for their non-event replacements and some nutcrackers)
- The christmas trees hand out an infinite amount of rewards
- Event time does not automatically change if the date changes (atm a restart of the map server is mandatory)
- mixed up naughty nice path in some npcs (fixed and on testing)
- players are not guided well enough (work in progress)
- innumerous dialogue inconsistencies, and spelling errors.
- since this content is supposed to stay in game rather than be commented out we need all christmas related npcs tested for their behaviour during
Non Event Time (set that state at the debug npc, if that does not work you might want to apply for the testers group and gm lvl 20 on testing accordingly) - large groups in the bossfight chamber to see if that breaks anything
- Also try to talk to npcs during the reward period, since the event time will slip into the meant reward time we might need to allow coninuing the quest line for that time

Re: Holiday Event [TEST]
Updated test with some patches to the quest. Your Quest should reset when going back to test to test.

I'm already stuck after collecting the lists:
Also other rather minor things:
Also other rather minor things:
- The penguin's death frame is too long
- Nut Cracker NPCs Valjas, Halas and Kilis don't talk (no reaction when clicking at them)
- Verneri: "Nothing like the getting past the holiday rush to make you dread next season." <<< sounds a bit weird

Re: Holiday Event [TEST]
On test server I found that, even after all Christmas lists are collected, NPC Eljas reported it as not being collected. I suppose even after all christmas lists are collected from childs, the information isn't stored on the database's account specific table successfully. Since the issue is reproducible, it can be debugged step by step.
Re: Holiday Event [TEST]
thanks for the good work
I think we are almost ready to launch.
another already known and also fixed but not yet active issue is:
you can only get one reward either from a tree or form avalia/orum. This is *not* on purpose and will be fixed with the next restart of the map server.
Regarding the reports:

Re: Holiday Event [TEST]
Our testing players have done a gread job so far, it seems like the amount of inconsistencies is greatly diminished, players will not get stuck in any state anymore, the reward system has been sanitized (randomness >>> haveing been naughty/nice before).
I changed the logic of the santas helper quest, please test if the quest still behaves well.
Otherwise it seems that besides typos existing bugs are now less obvious. Please also try to do some testing while event time is set to 0 (no event time) and to 1 (reward time) and see if you can do things you think shouldnt be possible during those periods.

Re: Holiday Event [TEST]
the children still had a smalll bug that led to players having to check lists from a child npcs twice from time to time, sorry that i didnt investigate those reports more thoroughly ealrlier
So far thank you for the awesome work,
I made some small post release fixes ( for beauty and balance), they are on testing.themanaworld.org as usual.

Re: Holiday Event [TEST]
Xmas Chamber Fixes
- Should no longer get stuck
- Has a bit more challenge to sitting
- Cooldown in between rounds to allow changing of the guard
- Allowing Entry/Exit but not Start
- You can't start an infinite amount of events via people who can repeat and get to the same point in dialogue.
Xmas Reward/Event time fixed to properly display proper event mode

Re: Holiday Event [TEST]
Found that warps to map 019-3 from another map get to weird location, probably because of non-existing coordinates.
maps/019-1.tmx
Correct: 40,97
maps/019-4.tmx
Correct: 57,44
Also warp from 019-1 to 019-3 (north entrance) could be a little better
maps/019-1.tmx
98,26
maps/019-1.tmx
Code: Select all
<property name="dest_map" value="019-3"/>
<property name="dest_tile_x" value="39"/>
<property name="dest_tile_y" value="101"/>
maps/019-4.tmx
Code: Select all
<property name="dest_map" value="019-3"/>
<property name="dest_tile_x" value="57"/>
<property name="dest_tile_y" value="48"/>

Re: Holiday Event [TEST]
warps are correct, someone tangled with 019-3. I'll try and repair.
