Mobs not reacting to some keywords (including riddle quests)

Dalvyn · Post by **Dalvyn** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 7:32 pm

There's currently a bug related to the programmes that are supposed to make mobs react to some keywords.

More precisely, when a mob is supposed to react to several keywords, only the first keyword that is listed will work.

In many cases, this will not be a serious problem. When mobs are expecting a "yes" answer for example, "yes" is often listed as the first keyword. Alternative answers like "aye" or "certes" might not work anymore though.

This can cause more of a problem with broader questions (e.g., quests to learn about faiths), since you would have to use the first keyword listed to make the quest work; and the first keyword might not be the most intuitive one.

Finally, this can have worse consequences (including a quest failure) for the quests where giving a wrong answer has consequences. This is for example the case for riddle quests. I would advise you to refrain from doing such quests for the moment.

Is this still the case, or has the issue been solved?

There is still a bug related to keywords, but it's not as important as "only the first keyword will work".

I think that Japcil reported it to Bugzilla.

*nod* Only root words work. Like priest works but priestess doesn't etc.

This is now fixed. Thank you Mask.

Just a note to everyone: as a fixed bug, this entire message will soon be moved to the "Dead Bug Reports" forum. Is that forum visible to everyone?

I cannot see that forum. But perhaps the dead bugs need their privacy.

Yep, I guess that isn't a public forum. So, just a word of explanation to everyone who's taken the time to post a bug report: if your bug report disappears, hopefully that means that it has been fixed! I'll try to report the fix before moving your bug report to a spot where it may no longer be visible to you.

Please remember, area code bugs via email only, as per
http://www.gallwey.com/fk/board/viewtopic.php?t=6292

Thanks again to everyone who reports bugs!
