Consolidated bug report for CB2 (in General)


Max December 24 2004 2:28 PM EST

Post bug reports for CB2 here.

When I first log into CB I should have a tutorial at the bottom of the screen while creating my character and minion. I do not. I also should have some sort of framed material on the left hand side but I do not.

http://churel.ion-web.com/~jbellis/cb/themes/default/logo-small.jpg Does not show up in the upper left hand corner of my screen.

I get a SQL error when I try and fight any character.

Max December 24 2004 2:29 PM EST

After posting this message I tried to fight again. Nothing happened. Nothing was in the lower left hand corner of the browser as if it were trying to actually do anything. All that was there was: "Applet Client Started"

Max December 24 2004 2:35 PM EST

In order to inspect I must click the Refresh link inside the farthest left frame. After I inspect I cannot inspect again until I refresh using the same method. I did clean out my offline content and that didn't improve anything.

Max December 24 2004 2:39 PM EST

This is what I get when I try to go to manage characters: Opens in new window

This is also my HTML test, I guess.

private December 24 2004 2:39 PM EST

My internet went down for a bit, so I was forced to refresh the page for the shop. I got a messagebox: "Apparently you have trouble following instructions. I will autocreate your first Character." But it popped up four times, not just once.


"hmm, there should be some tutorial text here. looks like you found a bug." Not sure what I did to cause this. Might be related to above.

Max December 24 2004 2:45 PM EST

When I click on higher or lower characters to fight in the left hand frame I am redirected to my "main" screen displaying my minion, equipment, and unequipped items. Photo here: Click here.

Todd December 24 2004 2:46 PM EST

I am having to click the refresh button on the left frame in order to fight. This occurs when I am looking at something else in the right hand (main) frame.

private December 24 2004 2:47 PM EST

Hmmm. Disabling chat killed the tutorial frame. Nifty.

Max December 24 2004 2:47 PM EST

My fight capability is fixed.

private December 24 2004 2:56 PM EST

"Lower" causes the side bar to load the main window instead of the side bar.

AdminJonathan December 24 2004 3:06 PM EST

fixed a bunch of stuff.

I'm aware that tutorial is unstable.

private December 24 2004 3:14 PM EST

Is there some secret plan to allow users to have two DD spells at once (via familiars or whatever), or does the extra DD box pop up because of a bug?

AdminJonathan December 24 2004 3:19 PM EST

fixed DD training

private December 24 2004 3:20 PM EST

No secret dual wield, eh?

private December 24 2004 3:35 PM EST

Exp after battle summary does not match exp on train page. Summary has slightly higher numbers.

AdminJonathan December 24 2004 3:45 PM EST

the train numbers are correct.

More fixes will have to wait, I'm off to catch my flight. Enjoy.

SNK3R December 24 2004 4:59 PM EST

I'm pretty sure these might be intentional, but here they are just so you know:

There's a News item currently "on," but Community > News gives you a dead link. There aren't any polls, and that link from Community > Polls is dead as well.

Also, it looks like the chatmail system through CB2 isn't working currently. I didn't receive the message from the system saying, "Welcome to Carnage Blender." Of course, when you go and visit the Community > Chatmail, it sends it to you, but only on the page -- not through the chat. I also tested it sending a chatmail to myself.

Perhaps Jon's just not connecting this chatmail system until we have both CB1 and CB2 chat separate. (Unless he's planning to keep them global?)

SNK3R December 24 2004 5:05 PM EST

Sorry to double post, but it also seems that the "Tournaments" and "Character transfer log" links are also dead through Chatmail.

These two are probably more intentional I'd think until everything else is up and running.

SNK3R December 24 2004 5:15 PM EST

Don't hate me for triple posting. :)

Anyway, this isn't necessarily a bug I'd think, but maybe it could be fixed. When you click fight, the Opponents list is not highlighted, so you have to click the box and choose another opponent and hit fight again. In this case, CB1 does re-highlight it for you, but maybe it's intentional for CB2?

Of course, the other option is to highlight one of your opponents, hit enter, up/down, enter, etc., and that's no problem.

SNK3R December 24 2004 5:19 PM EST

On the donation page, the three links that are linked to a forum thread are all dead links.

Specifically, the following:

I apologize in advance if I'm getting too nit-picky about things already, but I thought I'd just keep updating with things I find.

SNK3R December 24 2004 5:25 PM EST

Is there anyway to make the floating devices be on top?

For example: If you mouse over "Active threads," you get the list of names of the thread titles. However, if you move your frames over too much to the left, then they get hidden under the frame. Any possible way to change this so it's over the frame?

SNK3R December 24 2004 5:27 PM EST

Settings > Preview Themes

Popularity is rated at 100% for each. Probably intentional for now.

SNK3R December 24 2004 5:29 PM EST

Not a CB2 bug, but...

The image on the Help section still contains "Magic missile: 556 (81/54%)." And, well, the %'s are outdated as that's not really part of the system anymore.

SNK3R December 24 2004 5:33 PM EST

I made a new character. I went to try to transfer some of the money (to see if the $100 mandatory limit was still applicable), and when I sent any amount ($100 or $1) from my $100 stash, and tried to transfer to my current character, I received a "The page cannot be displayed" error.

Ellis December 24 2004 7:43 PM EST

I am currently and consistently getting a "server error" when I attack expostfacto with Liu Bei.

SNK3R December 24 2004 7:51 PM EST

Yep, same here but with character SzentMihaly.

private December 25 2004 12:38 AM EST

I get a server error if I attack with my "A Lesser Tattoo of Ice lvl 20 " equipped. I suspect the tatoos are causing the server errors.

SNK3R December 25 2004 12:39 AM EST

You were fighting me while I had my tattoo on, though. So maybe only certain ones.

SNK3R December 25 2004 12:43 AM EST

On my character "Char.Test" I assigned a tattoo that I purchased from Inception, and sent it to to Char.Test. After that, I enlisted a minion, and then I equipped the tattoo. I waited 10 minutes to get my 10 BA, and when I hit the 'Fight' button, it says I need to enlist a minion first. I already have one hired, though.

SNK3R December 25 2004 12:44 AM EST

Err, and now it will let me fight. Forget it. :)

private December 25 2004 12:47 AM EST

You were fighting me while I had my tattoo on, though. So maybe only certain ones.

Maybe only the ones that involve spell-casting familiars?

AdminJonathan December 25 2004 12:52 AM EST

I just fixed a couple fight bugs.

AdminJonathan December 25 2004 12:55 AM EST

I can't duplicate your money transfer bug, SNK.

And you're welcome to do a new screenshot crop for the minion stats example. :)

private December 25 2004 1:00 AM EST

Adding a new minion does not refresh the sidebar. The result is that you get "Enlist a Minion First" errors when trying to fight until refreshing. Also, creating a new char gives a server error, though it does seem to work.

SNK3R December 25 2004 1:02 AM EST

Looks like I can't duplicate it either. Must have been fixed, or possibly on my end. Oh well. It's fixed now. :)

private December 25 2004 1:13 AM EST

Sometimes after a battle the exp I was assigned gets eaten by gremlins. For the past 3 wins, I've had 7 exp even though it said I earned exp.

private December 25 2004 1:14 AM EST

It just said I earned 3 exp but I only got 1 according to the train page. The statistic isn't accurate or something.

SNK3R December 25 2004 1:14 AM EST

Okay, I'm positive this one works:

Go to your "Favorites" list, but have zero opponents in your list. Click "Delete" and it'll give you a "The page cannot be displayed" error.

The "Delete" function really works if you have a person in your list, though. :)

private December 25 2004 1:23 AM EST

OK, I think I figured it out. The number displayed when you complete a battle is how much EXP you earned total, even though it claims it was given to all of your minions evenly. Contrary to this number and the number displayed in the battle summary, you only get EXP/(# of minions).

private December 25 2004 1:24 AM EST

On an interesting note, it is possible for this number to be rounded to 0.

private December 25 2004 1:26 AM EST

Icky. 4 minions and inability to earn more than 3 exp per battle, even when winning, means it is not possible to give exp to the minions (due to rounding).

Ellis December 25 2004 1:29 AM EST

Ok, I just bought a tattoo, and now I can't fight, go home, train, or anything. the tattoo hasn't been equipped yet.

private December 25 2004 1:31 AM EST

Inspecting Liu Bei gives a server error. You broke it, Ellis :P

[EG]The Saint December 25 2004 1:58 AM EST

I'm having the same problem, Ellis, and I bought a bow and arrows, not a tattoo. I was able to fight just fine until I ran out of BA. Now I can't go Home, Train, or Fight.

SNK3R December 25 2004 2:28 AM EST

Heh, uh...

I went to the Blacksmith to see if I could upgrade my Tattoo (I know, I can't -- just wanted to see what it said, if anything), and the stats it gave me were the following on the table:

Armor: A Tattoo of Endurance
AC: 0 +279

If only I had 279 AC just from one item. :P And, no, it does not give me any AC on the main page if you were wondering.

Stats of Tattoo: A Tattoo of Endurance lvl 70 11,000

SNK3R December 25 2004 2:34 AM EST

Another thing that might help distinguish Saint and Ellis' problem is that I can't inspect Ellis, but I can inspect Saint.

SNK3R December 25 2004 4:30 AM EST

And now, my tattoo leveled to 120, and the stats on the Blacksmith table shows:

A Tattoo of Endurance 0 +555

SNK3R December 25 2004 4:34 AM EST

Heh, and now the tattoo leveled to 170 and the stats on the Blacksmith table are:

A Tattoo of Endurance 0 +677

AdminJonathan December 25 2004 11:10 AM EST

I'm recreating the weapons table. Pretty much everything will be broken until I'm done.

AdminJonathan December 25 2004 11:18 AM EST

finished.

Ellis December 25 2004 11:23 AM EST

Thank you Jonathan! And Merry Christmas!

AdminJonathan December 25 2004 11:31 AM EST

Merry Christmas to all. :)

Todd December 25 2004 11:35 AM EST

Merry Christmas :)

I got an Intellivision plug-in TV game thing.. 25 games in one controller... I miss the paddle , but I'm in heaven :)

Todd December 25 2004 11:36 AM EST

Oh, and after fighting for about 10 fights, I get a server error, then I get a "fighting too fast" screen.

[EG]The Saint December 25 2004 12:01 PM EST

Hm. Everything seems to be working for me now, but my weapons have disappeared.

[EG]The Saint December 25 2004 12:14 PM EST

I created a new char, switched to the new char, recruited one minion, then selected an opponent and clicked Fight. Got the "you need to recruit a minion first!" message. Clicked Refresh and it worked.

SNK3R December 25 2004 12:30 PM EST

I get a server error fighting Max with Inception.

Merry Christmas. :)

Max December 25 2004 12:44 PM EST

I can' t Train my minions. SQL error.

Todd December 25 2004 1:03 PM EST

Same problem as max.. cannot train.. same error.

And, yea, my weapons disappeared this morning sometime.

Also, I can't see and ranged weapons in the store -that's probably on purpose though.

Thraklight Resonance December 25 2004 6:58 PM EST

Here is my initial experience while I finish sitting out a 20 minute fight suspension. :-)

Oh, the name is spelled thrakattack, not thrackattack. The spell check doesn't like my true spelling yet, though. :-)

I didn't have the tutorial when I first logged in and got the "Apparently you have found a bug" message. I did have the ability to create my first character, typed in the information, and got the "you can't follow instructions ... I'll autocreate your character" message. Once my character was autocreated, the tutorial popped up in place of chat.

Attempted to fight Stump Farm1 and got "Server error ... the requested URL cannot be accessed ...." message. Attempted to fight expostfacto and got the "one fight at a time message." Attempted to fight Goof, got killed, and was warned about using ranged in the tutorial. Attempted to fight Todd and got a 10 minute suspension.

Went back to CB1 for a few minutes, then returned. Changed a few settings (multiple fight submission and, eventually, my password). Chat popped up with me in new players. Jumped into carnage without any problems.

Attempted to fight Test and got "Server error...." Attempted to fight Gepin and got "one fight at a time" message. Attempted to fight Alpha Male, got killed. Attempted to fight someone and got another "one fight at a time" warning.

I trained some experience, purchased sabre and sold whip back to store. Fought Alpha male and lost again. Trained some experience and purchased new minion. Fought Stump Farm1 and got "server error" message, but had earned experience waiting for me when I went to train. Had the same thing happen with test. No record of either fight in my recent battles or their recent battles, but I earned experience. Hit someone else and got a 20 minute suspension.

More to come. I'm on vacation for the next two weeks and should be able to spend a fair amount of time in here. Happy holidays everyone!

Thraklight Resonance December 25 2004 7:02 PM EST

One addition. Just fought test again, got experience, and used 1 BA. The battle just isn't being recorded in recent battles, and I'm still getting the "server error" message.

Thraklight Resonance December 25 2004 7:25 PM EST

I was just able to run off a string of defeats against characters with a PR greater than 1 and earned a small amount of cash for each fight. Each fight indicated that I received 1 experience per minion, but there was no experience waiting when I went to train.

The fights against characters with a PR of 1 give a small amount of experience but no cash. It's a long ways until I'll be able to afford that corn in the store right now. :-)

AdminJonathan December 25 2004 7:50 PM EST

sorry -- Rachel tore me away from the laptop for a few hours. I thought it was working when I left but I guess not. :)

SNK3R December 25 2004 8:26 PM EST

Clans > Admin > Click "Process selected" with no options and it gives a "Page cannot be displayed" error.

SNK3R December 25 2004 8:40 PM EST

You may be working on this already, but:

Stats > Character Attributes = Server Error

Thraklight Resonance December 25 2004 8:51 PM EST

I've noticed that if I hit several characters (Alpha Male down to test), I don't get anything when I try to hit them again. If I toggle down to my second character, Sad Little Target, I can immediately hit them, and I can then toggle back up to Bilgater and hit them again.

The post-battle stats for experience, and possibly cash, aren't adding up to what I see per fight. I had a draw with Alpha Male where I earned 12 experience per minion, and my post-battle stats were 12, 14, and 13 for my three minions. When I hit train, I had 4, 6, and 5 experience waiting for me. The post-battle stats appear not to be adding up accumulated experience if I fight and win four or five fights in a row.

I also tried to transfer a small amount of money from Sad Little Target to Bilgater and got a server error. I also got the same server error when I tried to transfer a small amount of money to Pinhow.

Thraklight Resonance December 25 2004 9:22 PM EST

I just tried to add a third minion on Sad Little Target and got

"We were unable to create your Minion record in the database. If you are in a Clan that has reached its PR limit, you may not hire any new Minions.(Possibly you double clicked, in which case only the second insert has failed.)"

No minion was created, and I'm not in a clan.

private December 25 2004 9:33 PM EST

I've already mentioned the experience issue in 3-4 posts. I advise people to read all the posts in this thread before saying anything.

SNK3R December 25 2004 9:36 PM EST

Not a bug...

$90,562 total liquid (non-banked) assets on Community page.

Since there isn't a bank anymore, I think we can get rid of (non-banked), unless you feel like keeping it there. :)

AdminJonathan December 25 2004 9:36 PM EST

SNK, any time you see "page cannot be displayed" IE is eating the explanation...

private December 25 2004 9:36 PM EST

Hm. Everything seems to be working for me now, but my weapons have disappeared.

I assume this is because Jon recreated the weapons table. My arrows disappeared when he did that. Ah well, I still have the oldest armor in the game :P :::Doesn't care about the tulwar:::

SNK3R December 25 2004 9:48 PM EST

I tried one of the "IE error" things on Firefox, but I still get an error -- not the same "Page cannot be displayed," though:

Favorites list > Delete (with no opponents selected) = "opponent_id" required but not supplied

Sorry, Jonathan. the error is 'Expected Object' NOT 'Unrecognized Error'

AdminJonathan December 26 2004 5:26 PM EST

I can't reproduce, max. In fact, there isn't ANY javascript involved with those dropdowns so I'm guessing there's something very nonstandard on your end for you to be seeing that.

Max December 26 2004 7:02 PM EST

Without my debugger on I can't see it but with it on I get that error. Nothing special on my side. IE 6.0, JRE 1.4.2_06, SP2 XP pro.

oh yes, the confirm_sell js... that's probably what it is. forgot about that. :)

All alpha-testers are hereby requested to use mozilla-based browsers when reporting javascript errors; it's much more informative. :)

SNK3R December 26 2004 8:01 PM EST

Lol, ouch. Good thing I switched when you told me to. :) I'll stay IE on CB1, though. :P

private December 26 2004 8:25 PM EST

I tried using Firefox and I prefer it. I switched back to IE because FireFox wasn't working right with CB. Maybe I'll have better luck with 1.0.

Sometimes the fight list selection does not have the previous defender selected after completing a fight.

fixed view, join, fight bug

[EG]The Saint December 27 2004 8:13 PM EST

Here is an interesting problem I've been seeing. I get a botcheck while fighting. Once I've typed in the word and hit enter, the focus goes back to the fight-list, but not quite right. If I immediately hit enter without hitting any other keys (like I lost the fight and want to immediately fight the same char again), I will actually fight the character at the top of my fight-list, rather than the character that I wanted to fight.

Todd December 27 2004 8:15 PM EST

BA usage in stores...

When I visit the store, I lose a BA. If I hit "View All" to see what is there, I lose another BA (and have to answer a bot check again).

Not sure if that is by design.

SNK3R December 27 2004 8:20 PM EST

I think that's intentional, Todd. It does the same thing in CB1. I think Jon's message is, "If you want to see what else is in the store for trying to find good stuff, you better get more money and view it in one sitting, or spend another BA you poor fool." :)

[EG]The Saint December 27 2004 8:21 PM EST

Todd, that's the same way it works on CB1. It's been too long since you've been short on cash. 8-)

AdminJonathan December 27 2004 9:02 PM EST

I can't reproduce, Saint. Mozilla 1.4 and FF 1.0 both leave the selected opponent alone and submit it correctly after a bot check for me.

did you actually check it, private? it uses the url the user accesses it from, which is a definite "feature." :)

AdminJonathan December 28 2004 11:49 PM EST

BTW, stump: FF 1.0 is the only browser I have tested whose back button breaks with CB2. File a bug report with them for me, will you? Bugzilla is such a hassle. :)

SNK3R December 29 2004 12:21 AM EST

Okay, Jon. This one tests your skills on reproducing. :P

You have your left frame as usual. Press Home so you're on the site as regular. Now, here's where the bug begins. Press Refresh, and very quickly after, hit Manage Characters. If you did it correctly, the left frame will load with the Manage Characters screen instead of the right frame and you'll have two non-navigation screens. :)

I did further testing, and one can substitute the Manage Characters link with any of the following links and do the same thing -- load that page into the left frame instead of the right: Help, FAQs, Settings, Edit [viewing Favorites list], Home, Train, Auctions, Businesses, Clans, Community, Mine/All Recent Battles, Loaned/rented items, Forums, Active threads, Stats, Top Clans, [Stat that is randomly placed], Tournament scores, Current winning streaks.

Basically, all the links (except Higher, Lower, Specify, Fight, Inspect, search by user...) can be thrown into the left frame instead of the right frame (where they should be) so you have two non-navigation windows which will probably cause users to refresh, in which this case, will reset properly.

Also, getting a Server Error by trying to reach the Home page.

SNK3R December 29 2004 12:23 AM EST

Scratch the server error. It's fixed now. :)

AdminJonathan December 29 2004 12:36 AM EST

Sounds like another FF 1.0 bug, SNK -- it very definitely shouldn't be doing that. Working around it isn't difficult, just annoying; I'll put it on my low-priority list.

Um, you are misunderstanding my comment. When I get a notification email about a messageboard, it should use the correct URL for the messageboard. If it uses www for a cb2 link, I end up seeing a random cb1 post instead of seeing the cb2 post I was notified about.

AdminJonathan December 29 2004 12:37 AM EST

in a few days cb2 will be 'www' and all will be well (cb1 should identify itself as cb1 already)

[EG]The Saint December 29 2004 10:50 AM EST

Jon, here's a bit better description of the fight-list weirdness I've been seeing:

I fight Enter, Down, Enter, Down. I hit Enter, then Down before a botcheck finishes loading. I type in the botcheck word, the results of my fight are displayed properly, and the fight-list displays the character I just fought (not the one I ended up on because I hit down too quickly). So I hit enter, and I fight the character I had arrowed down to, not the character I just fought.

The trick to reproducing it seems to be hitting the down arrow too quickly, before the botcheck loads.

AdminJonathan December 29 2004 11:53 AM EST

may be fixed now.

Myonax December 29 2004 1:55 PM EST

Max noticed some of Meta stats have a bad field:

Cloak of the Istari: Base AC 6 -2% DX ++plus++4% magic.
Troll skin has a ++plus++ too.

[EG]The Saint December 29 2004 3:39 PM EST

When I click the Refresh link on the left side, my fight-list gets reset to 5 characters, even though my setting is for 25. If I hit Higher or Lower, it fixes itself.

Myonax December 29 2004 3:52 PM EST

Had the Fight button on left not work again (including picking a new opponent). I think I may know what it was, I had used all my BA, fought again with 0 ba and got a bot check. Maybe it was expecting a fight to finish after bot check.

Myonax December 29 2004 3:55 PM EST

yep confirmed, a fight bot check after running out of ba locks fight button on next fight or the fight of bot check.

Max December 29 2004 5:23 PM EST

I can't buy that cool sling in auctions. I get an error.

Thraklight Resonance December 29 2004 5:30 PM EST

I tried to auction off a sling at net worth as a buy now. I got an error message indicating I needed a bid increment of $200 to $2000, so I put in a first bid of $542, a buy now of $542, and a bid increment of $200.

I was able to cancel the auction after Max wasn't able to bid, attempted to auction it again, and was told I needed a bid increment for the buy now equal to the first bid.

Thraklight Resonance December 29 2004 5:43 PM EST

Err, how did I get a sling with a net worth into auctions in the first place? Maybe it is a blessed sling that will turn into an elbow once the auction is finished. :-)

Thraklight Resonance December 29 2004 5:49 PM EST

Net worth of $542, that is.

AdminJonathan December 29 2004 5:56 PM EST

Saint: in order to avoid doing a table scan, CB restricts the range of PR it looks in for opponents. 5 is the cutoff point; if it can't find 5 in what it considers "your range," it will retry with a tablescan. So what you're seeing is, at your default level, you have just enough to make it satisfied, but going higher or lower it doesn't find enough and does the tablescan to get your full 25.

Myonax: should be fixed; thanks.

AdminJonathan December 29 2004 6:13 PM EST

Max: fixed buy-now

Thrak: it should now allow you to not specify a bid increment if you set buy-now equal to min bid

When I switch characters, the right hand frame does not refresh.

private December 29 2004 10:52 PM EST

Todd: I mentioned that. Jon did this on purpose.

colonel [penny pincher] December 29 2004 11:00 PM EST

For me the right side frame refreshes to the new char's home if I was on the home for the char I am leaving. Otherwise if I am on any other screen, I think it does not refresh.

AdminJonathan December 29 2004 11:18 PM EST

It refreshes when the right page is char-dependent, so far,
- create auction
- rent item
- forge select item
- train
- item transfer

AdminJonathan December 29 2004 11:22 PM EST

SNK3R December 31 2004 12:24 PM EST

I'm not sure if this is a browser issue or not, but I'm posting just to be sure:

Go to the Blacksmith. When you're "browsing to order an improvement," you can click the box, then click the improvement you want and the total box will add up correctly.

However, if you hit the box and hit it again so it's focused on your mouse, no matter which improvement you desire to upgrade, the total will not add up.

But, the cool thing is that if you try to "scam" the system by doing the mouse "trick" to select a whole bunch of high upgrades for 0 cost, it will tell you it will pick only the upgrade that you can afford.

Cool, but maybe now the mouse thing isn't important.

SNK3R December 31 2004 12:39 PM EST

Okay, uh...I shouldn't post when I just woke up, but I don't drink coffee like Sutekh. :)

Replace any word in my above thread with "keyboard" in place of "mouse."

AdminJonathan December 31 2004 12:46 PM EST

Looks like a firefox bug; I have "onchange" specified correctly, but it only updates once you tab to a different control.

Myonax December 31 2004 1:13 PM EST

I can't join Snk3r's clan. It doesn't show up on clan list under standard to join.

Also if you click join with nothing selected you get an error page.

Nevermind Closed Clans just don't show up on list.

Myonax December 31 2004 2:43 PM EST

I don't think the clan bonus should amplify negative scores.
Technically this is a feature and not a bug, but I am posting it here anyway :P

These may be intentionally, uh..."turned off" for alpha, so I'll just list them here for your viewing pleasure to double check. :)

You need either 5 or 6 clans for Top Clans to be computed or bonuses given. (I forget which.)
