Chronomancy talent bug

[pyroflare77]

I've been getting several lua errors in my modded game over time, causing me to stop it awaiting for an update to be released. But several months later, and the problems are still there. From what I remember, dragon breath attacks didn't proc and sent out an error instead. I entered the Temporal Rift and the old Doombringer I was playing is trapped there, as the game enters an infinite lua error loop when the elementals there try to assult me with Turn Back the Clock. The lua error always didn't look helpful in pointing out a particular mod, but then again, one time I posted a bug and someone was easily able to narrow things down.

Anyway, here's a starting bug where I did a test with a Paradox Mage. Dust to Dust can't be used and produces a lua error instead. I figured it was DoctorNull's class and/or tweak packs since those haven't been updated to the latest version of ToME and they contain chronomancy stuff, but disabling those doesn't fix the issue.

So hopefully this lua error will give some insight. The currently doomed Doombringer save file is still there, if different lua errors need to be seen.

A list of your active addons would be helpful.

Interestingly, this error says that the Warp damage type doesn't exist. That is very odd.
Can you test this with no addons active?

And throw up an error from the Doombringer too please.

[Micbran]

Do you have BA death messages/Bad ass death messages installed? If so, disable that.

List of addons to be put up as soon as I get these Doombringer logs out...

I tried all addons disabled, and things worked fine.

I think the best course of action is just enable things one by one and find the troublemaker...

Buuuut just in case someone can help before my boredom leads to the hunting down of the problem mod, my addon list needs two screenshots to fit it all:



Adventurer Plus isn't disabled in the Doombringer game; I thought that might have been a problem one.[/quote]

[Micbran]

Disable improved death messages.

[pyroflare77]

Was just about to post my resolution of this. I did disable it earlier, and it didn't work on the Doombringer. Looks like even if I disable it it's still a bit glued on to him in a way, because I enabled them one by one and that was the result I got with the test paradox mage. So I manually deleted it and removed the reference to it in the character's lua description, and now I am free!

[HousePet]

Yes, disabling and enabling addons only applies to new characters.
Maybe that needs to be explicitly stated on the addons menu so people can ignore it?
