No Menus Dungeon Bug

#1 by Shino - Feb 20 2013

I can't progress through the (second?) dungeon (I didn't do the first dungeon, opted to go to detention instead)

Do note, I can right click // upscroll- everything works. However, I can't hold down shift and then press up/down/left/right (This might be because there's nowhere to go).

And I also can't forefit like it said I can do at any time.

Looks like a call stack bug. I'll probably need a saved game to figure out what's causing it. The best is a saved game from a while before the bug with step-by-step instructions on how to get to the broken dungeon, but a saved game in the dungeon with the menu gone will also work.

You can use the form at http://spikycaterpillar.com/savegame-upload.html to upload saves; once you've done so, post or PM me so I know that they're there and whose bug report they go with. (The page also has instructions on where to find the saved games)

What's happening is that somewhere a piece of code (possibly much earlier) didn't return properly and the game just kept going - so once you reach the dungeon it thinks you're in the middle of casting a spell and disables the UI.

Question: is the game where the bug hits one that was loaded from a demo save? (As that helps narrow down where I need to look.)

I uploaded two save games- one three things of text before the bug, and one at the dungeon.

I don't think that the game thinks that I'm casting a spell. It happens from the very moment I entered the dungeon, so I didn't even have a chance to cast a spell. On top of that, from the right click menu, I can open my spellbook and cast spells. It just returns to that screen after the spell goes off.

This is from the full steam version of the game.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

You can unbreak the two saved games you uploaded by typing into the Python console. The actual bug occurred earlier in gameplay - it looks like there's somewhere where I forgot to unhide the buttons. I'll see if I can find and fix it. These two saved games can only be fixed in the console.

Bug located. It appears that when you go to the diary, then hit escape or right-click, it leaves the UI hidden when you return. It should be fixed in the next version; in the meantime, both the console code above or going to the options screen, looking at the diary, and clicking the 'Done' button should bring the UI back.
