classic: `You cheat, get fucked m8` :Obelul:

I'm not joking, there are over 1600 event sequences in the mod. Even a trivial issue could take a crazy long time to address...

I know that feeling just to good. Reference: Bad Allocation. Not more informations; just that window with that text.

However I seem to have found the what the problem is, it occurs when you do the last fight on the stairs (with the 275 romans) before the others, which, while possible without cheats, I still consider a skip :Obelul:

The nasty thing is it seems to "brick" your save as well, so you cannot do the other fights to unlock the big door.

i think Spork needs to add a red text at the start screen regarding cheats making mod unstable i think that will instantly reduce the flow of people with problems like twice

@kaydji you will have to send me your save file so I can repair the save

mr.rubinshtein

or somehow make the inspector not work

mr.rubinshtein

during the game or something

mr.rubinshtein

which is extreme

mr.rubinshtein

but still, solves the issue radically

I've spent a very long time (guru-level-time) making the mod and often I can instantly see what someone has done to get a softlock or bug. Although most people will admit to cheating/skipping, I've also had some players insist that they were not cheating at all before the bug happened, which I believe is very disrespectful since they are deceiving me and wasting my time!

mr.rubinshtein

i truly understand your frustration believe me it is indeed very unpleasant thing

pegperegogaucho

I've included the inspector mostly for people who are stuck on a section and want to use potion to do it easily, or if they have gotten into a bug the inspector can "rescue" their playthrough :)

mr.rubinshtein

yeah understandable

mr.rubinshtein

i guess some sort of reminder to players would be good so they think twice before going full cheating mode

schmeling65

Indeed it is disrespectfull. It is like people are getting vac-banned saying "I haven't cheated" and after 5 days they say "I used skinchanger", which is CLEARLY stated as a cheat.

mr.rubinshtein

nothing wrong with cheating in asterix games since you can add up replayability value to it and spice it up but honesty is first and foremost if you ran into an issue

schmeling65

nah, i mean ingeneral that they act like nothing happened or they didn't do something bad or missing out any informations just to make others more work.

mr.rubinshtein

show me a person who ever openly admits that they cheat, i guarantee you will find only few who will admit of it
