IT IS HERE! (Edit: Hotfix 12 posted)(Crashes now fixed!)

If you have any problems with anything that should have already been fixed, please write it down below!
If I get no more problems after this 7.2.0b patch I will release the game as out of the bug testing phase. Please report any errors in this post!
Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.2.0b!
Fixed:

  • Black screen not stopping after dinner fixed.
    • The priest at the second questpoint is bugged and may not appear in the animation, but it still works and won't break the game. Will be fixed later.
I went through everything and made sure to try as many combinations as possible. There should be no issues with the mayors quest from here on.


Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.2.0a!
Fixed:
  • Fixed the bug where the Mayor wouldn't talk to the player after the dinner. (Fucking mayor, any more trouble out of you and I'm editing your story and making you die a horrible death...-.-)
    • To fix this problem, load a save from before the dinner and download the latest version of the game - As of this message that is "AloneXP 7.2.0a"
  • Fixed teleportation. If it doesn't work for you, just walk around through a few maps. I have placed an "un-unable to teleport" event in all major areas to prevent anything like this to happen again.


Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.2.0!
Fixed:
  • Fixed the mayor bug once and for all. I went through everything and found all the fucking bugs... I completed the questline needed in several different ways and it can NOT BE FUCKED UP ANYMORE! DON'T! I'LL FUCKING CRY!
  • Added attack animations to darkshine mine creatures.
  • Fixed the actual dinner repeating at the mayors house.

Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.1.9!
Fixed:
  • Hopefully fixed the mayors house bug. I changed the switch that activates it to a more reliable one.
  • Fixed so you can't purchase the maid upgrade several times. (All but the first were useless)
This has hopefully been the last game breakers! (The maid) Let me know if I'm wrong.




Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.1.8!
Fixed:
  • Fixed the last pieces of crashes. This should have been the last ones, but if you find another, post below with where it happened.
  • Fixed issue where going to the church from the rectory upstairs would not work as intended.
  • Fixed the mayors house eternal loop... Again <.< (I went through all the events and found several that did this, I have now hopefully found all events I had copy pasted in error)

Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.1.7!
Fixed:
  • Fixed Fast travel at the capital
  • Fixed Second loop at the mayor in Fuar's house.


Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.1.6!
Fixed:
  • Crashes are now fixed! :D If you find any crash still happening, please report where it happened, as it was an issue I can easily fix as long as I know where it happens.
  • Fixed Closet in the top tier of the divines room.



Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.1.5!
Fixed:
  • Fixed the caravan, where going anywhere would be hindered by the Fuar option.
  • Fixed error where upgrading the great hall would send you to the entrance rather that the next tier of the great hall.
  • Added a message when trying to go upstairs from the church saying, if you have not upgraded the rectory upstairs, "There is no way up" to prevent any confusion.
  • (NOTE) Tried another solution in trying to fix the error mentioned in 7.1.4
  • Fixed throne room. It no longer rains inside when it has rained in the garden.

Please, about the error message you guys are getting, if you still have it after this update, please write it in the comments!

Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.1.4!
Fixed:
  • Museum Bookcases should be fixed
  • Court meetings have been fixed. (A previous fix messed it up again lol)
  • Fixed Clair in the Fuar inn going into an eternal loop when not impregnating her.
IMPORTANT: Some of you are getting this error. I might have fixed it, but there is also a chance it is still there. I have absolutely no idea what the hell it is, and I've researched it, but found no clue on what it could be in "Alone"... If it's fixed in this version, CHEERS! If not I'll cry myself to sleep...

A temporary fix is; Save before the map where it happens and try again. It seems to only happen "sometimes" making it even more weird... But hopefully this helps until I can pinpoint a fix, if not fixed already...



Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.1.3!
Fixed:
  • Servant room, full upgrade broke the stairs. - Fixed (Clipping downstairs remains to be fixed)
  • Fixed exit of visitor room, upstairs northeast.
  • Fixed Upstairs of a house in fuar you couldn't exit.
  • Fixed black screen in the "naked lady outside Fuar inn" thing.
  • Fixed black screen in hide and seek



Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.1.2!
Fixed:
  • Castle baths no longer upgrades first floor instead. (Do not use misuse before upgrading it, it can fuck up and leave you unable to even enter the first floor)
    • If your first floor works after installing this patch there is no need for worries. If it is fucked, upload your save and I will revert it to normal.


Edit* Hotfix posted, new version is 7.1.1!
Fixed:
  • Added coat to Fuar store, it was gone if you had completed the Meaty goodness questline.
  • Fixed "Hide and seek" where the player would run into a snowman, hindering progress.
  • Fixed The mayors maid in Fuar. She now no longer hits an infinite loop.
  • Fixed museum exits
Original message bellow:
_________________________________________________________________

So, I went all out after having posted my post yesterday, and completely finished up the main quest and added tons of guards that are based on your summoning to the castle. This means that today I could add maids and then go through the mainquest to fix any bugs I found.

So the game is out for bug testing!

I have to stress that this is an early build that serves only one purpose, to identify bugs so I can fix them
If you want a full version, wait until the bugs have been squashed. If you want to help out, however, then feel free to download this version and tell me if you find any bugs!

Once the release is "bug free" I will officially release it and then add it to the downloads section.

Also, a quick list of stuff I added since yesterday's post.

  • Finished the main quest (3 parts)
  • Added new guards to the castle.
  • Made Maids hire-able from the Chief Servant
  • Fixed all errors I could find while going through the main quest.
What I would like you guys to focus on when looking for bugs:
  • Clipping through walls. This may be a big problem as there is so much new area in the castle.
  • Quest bugs; Somthing that hinders you. Try out the main quest and the newly added sidequests (Check your journal to see just how much has been added)
  • Contradictions. If I made anything that made you go "But, isn't that what they just say shouldn't be said?" or something. If you find it, tell me here. 

Any bug report you have from the game in this bug testing phase is to be posted in the latest blog post or on one of the forums, not in the bug section.

For now, HERE YOU GO!

  2. Bug:

    When first introducing yourself to the mayor of Fuar, the maid continuously repeats the same lines over and over and will not let you exit the conversation. Game-breaking.

  3. After upgrading everything (except museum:broken exit, so it became trap room and baths: they keep reverting to first stage after leaving room) main staircase got bugged, fortunately I can still go up by church area.

    3. Great. What happened was that the bath instead upgraded the first floor, and that meant that the upgraded command, that when 2 upgrades have been purchased, was moved to ""when 3 upgrades purchased" and so on, but there is nothing at 4 and above :) If it works, that's great ;) Thanks for all the reports! I've been able to fix everything but the error message thing. I have no idea what it is.

    3. well I have a different problem with the quest. I choose not to knock her up. after the scene the girl is in a loop and always gives me the 3 choices.

  5. Fuar:

    - Area east of central Faur - first house north no exit for second floor

    - No coat to purchase for Clair (naked chick) - already had sex w/ wife

    - can't start sciencey stuff 3

    Castle:

    - entering the castle entrance from the museum (before upgrades) causes the entrance room to auto upgrade. It returns to normal when re-entering from any other room.

    - upstairs northeast most room (pre-upgradevisitor's room?) - when leaving room it puts you back at the left staircase entrance.

    - museum - as previously reported can't leave room after upgrading; also you can wall through almost everything in the room and downstairs

    - servant's room - after upgrading staircase in room doesn't work.

    1. I'm not too sure about sciencey stuff, as it is Mugginns creation but the rest I can respond to:
      The exit was made to "press to activate", which has been fixed now, thanks.
      Fixed the visitor room exit bug.
      Fixed staircase.

      The rest has been fixed in 7.1.2. I will shortly upload a 7.1.3 fix.

  9. In the museum fully upgraded, you can walk right through the book cases on the upper floor, not the lower floor, its all good there, anno above me already mentioned the problem with the court, also is the part with the ruined buildings in the pack suppose to have an upgrade. While typing this i remembered that the wall (or whatever that brown hill looking thing is) separating the back yard bath and the back yard path map, the map before the ruined buildings with workers walking around, can be walked through.

  13. I have a couple of questions and possible bugs that I have found first off when Michelle is told that you have a castle where does she and her friends go? If they are supposed to appear than would upgrading the room they appear in affect that? Next like many other people if you upgrade your throne room right away you tend to get bugs with the nobles not going to their proper positions. Finally the only other bug I could find would be some clipping errors where I can walk through walls and stuff.

    For the most part love this update really happy to have gotten it (even though I can't find Michelle :/) Great job and keep up the good work :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Michelle and such, are not in yet. There will possibly be an update to have them appear via a Holding Court or whatever. Only thing I can assume.

    ReplyDelete
  15. One final thing, and this is more of a suggestion, can you make an option to turn off the little cha-ching sound every time The farm sends money, It gets kinda irritating and distracting hearing it every few minutes. Again just a suggestion.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thank you so much!!! You guys are the best!

  17. I finished the court and talked with the gardener and did a garden upgrade, but no clue what else I'm supposed to do, and hints?

    - went outside in the garden, started raining, now it rain in the castle too. :D

  20. That error people seem to be getting has to do with values (like amount of hp you currently have) and it going over the max value possible. It can crash the game occasionally if the engine has too work on a scripted event it seems. Remember seeing it on a forum for another game a while back (dont remember which game though) since it happened a lot in the game. It got a bit better when the game designer changed the scripts a bit.

    - while trying to exit the city 8the hell is the girl hiding? fount her the first time, can't find it anymore) i got this error: http://uppix.net/IabRTD.jpg and the game crashed.

  22. kobold bones quest, even if i have more than 20 bones, when i try to give them to the npc it says that i do not have enough bones

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It would seem the variable which should have been counting the bones was wrong. It was instead affecting the "evil" variable. This, unfortunately, means that your character's evil is no longer amounting to the real evil you've gathered (if any). I will fix it in the next patch, but until then, you should find a certain amount of bones and then go talk to her. The amount of bones you have when talking to her will then set your evil to that. So if you want no evil you should go there with no bones, if you want lots, go with a lot of bones. Sorry for this, ideally you should load a save from before this.

  23. The closet in your Privet quarters work on first upgrade, But don't work on second.

    ReplyDelete
  28. The castle gates is where the caravan is that gives you only the option to go to Fuar. The others that I have tried so far seem to be fine.

    As for the maid this is what she keeps looping: "My lady is truly honored to have you visit. Even if you brought some sad news. They will need time to mourn, but they still wish to perform their duties to their lord, I am sure, as they are firm believers in the divine power of you my lord."

    ReplyDelete

    1. Thank you! It has been fixed. I will wait to see if I can put in a few more fixes, if people find some stuff, and then I will upload it. If you find the "script game_character..." error again, please tell me where you find it. I have found the cause and can fix it if I know it happens somewhere.

    2. it hapens when you leave fuar an there is a bandit woman and then it bugs

  29. What do i need to do in fuar for the mayor so that the maid does not throw me out? Where do i get the news of her daughter?

    All I ever get is Maid:"Oh, my lord, what a surprise! My lady Cille, the mayor of fuar and her daughter in law is in mourning at the moment, and even though you are the divine, I don't think I can do anything to get her down until news of her beloved daughter arrives."

    and there is still a crash in there the moment i open the item tab, close it again and try to leave Fuar via the southern exit I get the following message

    "Script 'Game_Character 1' line 274: NoMethodError occured.
    undefined method '*' for nil:NilClass

    and btw i like the update so far nice job on the castle :-) although it seems like the quests which ended in the previous version with a "tell when you have a castle and we will come over" are not yet continued

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The news of the mayors daughter comes from the sciencey stuff questline.

      The crash is having an update uploaded as we speak, and the next patch will be one of the last ones, I hope.

      About the "in the castle" quests before, had I had to implement all of those now as well, the release would not have been for several months. None of the quests are "just about to finish" and if I had to finish them I would have needed a lot of new assets on top of the work I had to put in. I decided to release the castle now, as it had a good amount of new content in both the castle and the newly added questlines.

      Delete
    2. thx for the fast answer and for the explanation about the castle quests :-)

      well i thought so about the mayor quest, now i allready did the sciency stuff quest in 7.0.7.2 seems like it doesn't trigger because of that

    8. I'm going through the questline to see if anywhere halts the progression in some way

    9. I have been unable to find any issues but it would seem somewhere it fucks up. Therefor I have switched to a safer switch. While I upload a new fix, you should try the new questline in the capital. I don't think anyone has done so yet. It's started in the barracks.

      Delete
    10. well first of the guards that patrolled the castle in the capital are spinning in place after you left for your castle with the queen.

      Delete
    11. ok so here are some bad news, i still get the same loop in the mayor house with the old save and even in a new game I started.

      and secondly about the quest in the barracks, some clues as to where to find paintings would be nice, honestly I'm pretty much out of places to look and can't find a single one

    12. They are bandits around the world. The desert of Rei-Long Oak, the roads of Fuar. They are everywhere :)

    13. ok then i will take another look^^

      oh and i come past the maid now but after the dinner the mayor refuses to talk with me^^

      Delete
    14. ok the mayor talks to me now, but after trying to get closer to her you get the message that if you go upstairs the H event will start and that maybe you should not go to sleep yet, the problen is that the screen stays black after said message i found my way up blind so right now the event is progressing, I will give you a headsup if I come across anýthing else.

      and by bandits do you mean the smuggler's? if yes then those smuggler chests are not sellable at the questgiver.

      Delete
    15. well after the sex scene the screen stays black, have to leave now so it will take a while before i can test further

      Delete
  30. there is a small bug that can be fixed by simply walking through the door of the church to the hall and going back in the castle, where if you enter the church in the castle and upgrade to max, and go upstair and back it reverse to 1, them you need to exit and enter through the door in that floor never through the stairs.

    1. They simply haven't been added. Adding them will take A LONG time. I wouldn't have been able to finish for a few months if I had to add everything that needed the castle in previous updates.

  36. A few contradictions, if you don't choose to sleep with the queen she still says that you did when you decide whether to have her marry you or someone else in your bedroom. Also if you tell the naked woman in Fuar that her wife/husband knows about her cheating instead of having sex with her, she still talks about carrying "your child". Also the caravan from the castle only lets you go to Fuar, and selecting Everlight after going to Fuar gives you the Fuar dialog from the caravan.

    ReplyDelete
  37. As of the most recent build(7.1.9) in Fuar when you have dinner with the mayor and reenter the house. It repeats the dinner scene again and again as long as you continue to go into the house. This and being able to walk over certain scenery in the bath area are some of the major flaws I have seen.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I'm going to make most of them "invite-able" or forced. The queen will not live at the castle, she simply visited. Someone like the mayor of Everlight will be the same. There is a guest room, and you can invite someone to stay there temporarily (when implemented). People that aren't highly ranked, and thus have a place they HAVE to be will be able to move to the castle as the Divine's court, living with him at the castle.
