character is permanently blind

[evouga]

Something hit me, and now I'm permanently blind.

Did you dominate a headless horror's eye?

[evouga]

Yeah. Is that a known bug?

Is there any way to fix my character?

Hum.

Code: Select all

		if nb == 0 then
			local sx, sy = game.level.map:getTileToScreen(self.summoner.x, self.summoner.y)
			game.flyers:add(sx, sy, 20, (rng.range(0,2)-1) * 0.5, -3, "+Blind", {255,100,80})
			self.summoner.blind = 1
			game.logSeen(self.summoner, "%s is blinded by the loss of all its eyes.", self.summoner.name:capitalize())
		end
	end,

It seems like it's missing the...

Code: Select all

if not self.summoner then return end

...line that is up slightly higher for the resistances reduction.

As to how to fix, I dunno. Maybe someone better fluent in what the code there translates to exactly in the character file could help? It seems like it's just reverting that self.summoner.blind command.

The code fix is:

Code: Select all

		if nb == 0 then
			local sx, sy = game.level.map:getTileToScreen(self.summoner.x, self.summoner.y)
			game.flyers:add(sx, sy, 20, (rng.range(0,2)-1) * 0.5, -3, "+Blind", {255,100,80})
			if not self.summoner.player then self.summoner.blind = 1 end
			game.logSeen(self.summoner, "%s is blinded by the loss of all its eyes.", self.summoner.name:capitalize())
		end
	end,

As for fixing your character, it's easy from the Lua console, but would invalidate your character. From the command line there, type game.player.blind = nil

[evouga]

Maybe if I somehow temporarily blinded myself, I would regain sight after the temporary effect expires? But I have no idea how I would go about testing this.

Bummer. This bug pretty much instantly destroys characters

[Aerach]

Well, as per the invuln bug this invalidates rather than destroys. Unless the online listing means more to you than the play itself, do the console fix and finish your playthrough

Thanks for the unblind command, i've lost yeek to this.
