I think it's an okay (lower end of okay) game but it should never have been called XXL
justine1801
Yeah, we deliberately didn't fix it
martyste
yeah, recently Heso found out, it had something to do with hitting the ceiling from below ( a floor technically ). Reverse engineering is slowly solving mysteries and even finds us obscure bugs no one paid attention to.
justine1801
I think this community may have been asked about whether we should fix bugs that allowed speedrunners to skip stuff
martyste
i can't remember x( Braixy's question is interesting because indeed, that one insta-kill fireplace in Egypt gave me as a kid a fear of touching fireplaces for a while.
justine1801
That doesn't ring a bell, but it's been a long time since then so 🤷
failentin
yes Zoé from your team asked us for our opinion on some matters in the old community server 🙂
justine1801
That didn't happen in OG game ?
martyste
I kinda wish i could ask some of my most obscure engine questions to Sylvain Béen, haha!
martyste
there were few enough crates to warrant smooth pathfinding. Our editor can show them, and that also allowed us to solve a looong known skip in Rome.
martyste
Basically, in Rome's main arena, a check is in place to ensure that both heroes have crossed the gate before activating locks.

I believe the pf cells are too large, so a "well" placed crate can take up several cells, and thus block a path.
justine1801
Sorry' missed your question, I don't think I know about it, sorry Do you maybe have a screenshot ?
martyste
But Asterix can walk far to the left side of each arena and punch the button to the next room without issue, because he walks into an area where Obelix's pathfinding fails, and he doesn't enter the triggerzone with Asterix.
martyste
only when both are detected at once does the lock finally activate.... but we opened the way forward. BoLin found the skip around 2017.
hesopesomeso
There's many bugs/skips now, it would take a bit to fix them all :obelul:
martyste
shame that i didn't install XXL editor on this laptop, i'd show the exact spot!
martyste
For Egypt, the fireplace is locked by romans, and is immediately found after the boat section. A druid is also just next to it.

here's some pics from our discussion

thanks heso!
