Can't get Transmutation magic.

Post by Travolta »

Hello mana people :)

My char is "Travolta UA", and I did all magic quests, reached lvl2 in General magic, and all other schools except Transmutation. Audsbel tought me some transmutation spells (including #gole), but for some reason I didn't get Transmutation magic. I remember I gave him the mouboo figurine, but maybe it was a server glitch or something, that I wasn't accepted as his student.

Now when I ask him to teach me a new spell, he sais "No, not at this time. You will have to advance in your overall magic skill before I can teach you more."
It is in the very end of this file (https://github.com/themanaworld/tmwa-se ... ldsbel.txt), so this must mean I completed everything I had to. But I don't have the skill.

Help.

I think you have to help him with his Experiments . Check this out : http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... xperiments

I did. I helped him with all except the last one. I can do his last request too, but I wonder if it would help. I doubt.

I checked the Auldsbel script and your problem is caused by a bug that occurs when you get the Astral Soul skill and then show him your Mouboo Figurine to get the Transmution skill in the same dialogue session.
I created a fix which will get in with the next content release: https://github.com/themanaworld/tmwa-se ... cbc16a3895 (Which is planned to happen rather soon. )

The bugfix won't help the "Travolta UA" character, but we're currently thinking about how we can achieve that.

Thanks for the report! :)

rumly, thank you for reporting this bug and investigating where to find the problem. We will find a way to "fix" your character.

Jenalya, thank you for identifying what is wrong and creating a fix so quickly.

Grumble, grumble, why do characters put spaces in their names?

Oh well, patch made and test server restarted.

We found out there is a GM command to set the magic skill of characters, but in its implementation so far it couldn't handle character names with whitespaces. o11c created a fix for this issue, so we can repair your character "Travolta UA" as soon as we're done testing and putting it on the main server. :)

I restarted the server today which included o11c's fix about the gm command handling character names with whitespaces, and I used the command to give Transmutation Magic to the Travolta UA character. :)
Thanks again for discovering this bug.
