I kill Golbug and...

[PowerWyrm]

Some dork pops up, gives me a scroll, and the game freezes...

Error as follows:

Code: Select all

[CHAT] selected	Thank you for your courrage.	function: 2589BED8	nil

thats probably why there have been numerous posts on this. (I didnt see this mentioned there though)

it looks like the npc does not have the scroll in his inventory, so it cant remove it. (DG, there should be some asserts/checks in there somewhere)

Yeah, I had to kill Gorbulg three times to get around this bug.

First two times I was getting the same error in the stdout.

I have no idea if it was just random or what but the third time I waited to rest or loot until after I was done with the Herald.

The full logs are linked in the Beta 9 bugs thread.

Maybe this has nothing to do with the bug, but the second time I killed Golbug, I waited for the herald to appear and didn't move until the dialog was triggered... and the game didn't crash. The first time, I made a move towards him to trigger the dialog.

Ahhhh I think I understand then, the dialog triggered twice proabbly .. ok I know how to fix it

Reproduced:
- character and herald stand next to each other
- character moves away or stands still: no problem, scroll gets delivered
- character tries to bump into the herald: game crashes

For me, it's more related to the fact that the scroll is created in the lua file which is called when the herald triggers the dialog event. When the character triggers the dialog event himself by bumping into the npc, the dialog event is triggered without the scroll being created.

Yes the scroll is unique, I have made it so that it wont chat with you twice
