ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I've just died with a lvl 25 Dwarf Cursed, and it was so buggy I could hardly play by the end.

For all of the following I got Lua errors and couldn't execute the talent:

1. I couldn't set Mark Prey
2. I coudn't dig
3. I couldn't use Beckon

Walking into some characters (i.e. attacking them) also caused some errors.

I also had Rampage tree unlocked, and I don't know if it was Rampage or Predator. I think it was Predator, because all the problems started after I unlocked it, though it did work initially for a while.

I submitted every Lua error through the ingame prompt, so hopefully they can be tracked down. Most of them had the same error info in the box.

I love the new Cursed trees, so I'm going to restart with A dwarf Cursed and try Rampage and Fears trees instead.

Having the same problem, I believe. I get an error screen whenever I try to activate ANY targeted ability, whether or not it is caused by the Predator Tree, I am not sure. I had the Tree for a good while before the bug occurred.

A hotfix would be awesome. Pwetty pwease.

I just got the same bug.

It started happening after I unlocked the predator tree.

Is there any way to fix the character?

Darkgod can sometimes fix drastically broken saves, and folks in the IRC channel can usually help too.

I have the same issue with targeted skills but on a shadowblade, it ocurred to me for first time after leaving the fearscape with a random boss on a farportal.
A fix would be great but i can wait till B39 if it is close

What was the very first error to pop ?

In order to fix this you will need to enable the debug console:

Once you have done that, load up your buggy savefile and open the debug console with "Ctrl+L".
Then enter the following:
Hit "Escape" to close the debug console and test it out. If it is working save, undue the debug console and enjoy! (and post here to confirm)

Actually: Is better

For me the bug only seems to happen when I have a manaburning dagger equipped in the offhand. As soon as I replaced it and applied "game.player.getTarget = nil" the bug stopped happening.

And after several hours of bug free play time it suddenly started again.

What was the first error to popup ?

Having just cleared one of these guys(with repeated bug fixes in LUA, thanks to this topic. , see http://te4.org/characters/10195/tome/72 ... 91b24a6f89 for the charsheet.), I think I know roughly where the problem seems to lie.

For me, it would occur, apparently, when I was attempting to attack stealthed or invisible enemies of the type, but not sub-type, I had marked. I'm not 100% sure on this, but it never seemed to happen with the Orc subtype I had marked for...basically the entire time I had Predator, and it didn't just seem to occur against every Humanoid, and it never occured against non-Humanoids that I can recall.

The main reason I'm uncertain of the exact cause is because I wasn't paying attention to what I hit the first time it popped up(so I could have had it pop up against my marked subtype), and in the final battle I don't think either boss is invisible or stealthed, but I had it pop up twice(However, IIRC I got repeatedly blinded in that sequence.).

Still, hopefully that info will help a little.

Edit: Oh, forgot to mention, those it's rather prominent on the sheet; I was using a manaburner weapon for the entire time I had Predator(One of the best weapons I've ever seen, in fact...), except when I tried to take it off for...Gorbat? Wyrmic pride, I always get Grushnak and Gorbat mixed up...and still had the error pop up with it off. I don't think it is related, but it is possible.

I started a new Yeek Cursed and 3 levels after I got predator the bug popped up again.

I had no manaburn equipment this time.

I was stalking the Slaver and preying on Humanoid / Human with 100% effectiveness. I think I was bumping into the Slaver when the bug happened.

I saved immediately after it happened. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22930730/after% ... 20save.zip

After I fixed it and went down a level it almost immediately happened again.
