[Bug][P][✓] Intro Convo Only Psyche Lock Location Transfer

Post by Enthalpy »

Status: FIXED

V6 Link

Description:

This glitch is a bizarre one. Suppose that Location X has frames in the psyche-lock introductory conversation, but not the psyche-lock overview. If Location X has a move command to a later location, or has no move commands...
* All locations before and including X will de-activate the "forward" button when you access move, if they have available locations. This can only be fixed by going onto a frame that sets an action. Another location cannot be selected at this time.
* All locations after X will, when you attempt to access move, display a blank frame and then start to the frame immediately after the investigation scene.

Not attempted in a v6-native trial.

How to reproduce?:

Play a v5 trial in v6 with the conditions specified in description. The glitch may be active in v6-native trials as well, but this has not yet been tested.

To be honest, I didn't really get what the bug was when playing your sample trial, but when looking at it in the V6 editor it's a lot clearer.

Scene 3 (the one with locks) is badly imported, and scene 4's structure (the one after) isn't even imported, it remains as a flat set of frames with a bunch of legacy V5 actions...
So it definitely is a bug in the conversion process. I have an idea why it may happen, I'll investigate.


EDIT : well, tricky one. It was easy to see why it went wrong, but not so easy to design a fix. This is the kind of bugs that remind me of why it's good that V5 will soon just be a bad memory : the V5 trial structure and save/load process is so messed up, it took me 3 hours to find out how to replicate this weird behaviour in the converter...
Anyway, the fix is done on my development version and will be uploaded to the site soon.
