[svn] Stalk weird graphical bugs/freezing

[James LaBrie]

Whenever using Stalk on an enemy, my left overview bar will go black, and the game will freeze. The Stalk graphic will continue to flash on the screen, but no other actions can happen.

This has been working for me for a while (and still works). Is there any error in the log file? I saw some errors after a recent check in related to using talents in general.

[James LaBrie]

Well, here's the string of errors I found. I blindside'd a skeleton and then attacked him to proc the stalk, so this is where it started.

That's the bug I ran into with the latest changes. It may cause crashes for a variety of effects. I imagine it should be fixed very soon. THe problem is in \game\modules\tome\class\PlayerDisplay.lua; Add the line in blue at line 164. It was probably just a cut and paste error.

function _M:handleEffect(eff_id, e, p, ex, h)
local player = game.player
local dur = p.dur + 1

Thanks benli, you're the man.
