Curious Artila Vanceros Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Are closing doors (in A:eftp and A2:CS) hard-coded or is it just in door.txt?? Why isn't Avadon 2 affected by this??? Edit: It"s hard coded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 door.text has the script to read whether the door is locked and difficulty to open it. Closing doors was discontinued because it was harder for players using iPads and later tablets to do it. It may change from game to game.

Curious Artila Vanceros Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 It was sadly disappointing that both the WIndows and Mac versions were also affected, hopefully in the next game, Jeff might be able remove the issue on the platforms not related to the iPad issue (obviously Win and Mac), or did he really intended to make us share us the pain of the iPad/tablet players.

Curious Artila Cerberusss Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 or did he really intended to make us share us the pain of the iPad/tablet players. Yes, and as an iPad user, it feels so much better that everyone else is suffering as well :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Given that closing doors can actually affect what you do in some situations, I think it would be sort of a jerk move to let only some platforms have access to it.

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 But then, maybe the jerk move is taking it away from everyone just because some people can't have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk wackypanda Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Important mechanical differences between platforms have appeared before (G4 drayk damage types, A:EftP trainer prices). Granted, those were things that could be patched in theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Those were also both unintentional errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 In Blades of Exile, Jeff included, only in the Windows version, a bit of code that granted a delay of several days on the destruction of the fort in The Za-Khazi Run, according to his comment in the code, something along the lines of "to make it easier for players". He did this in the code of the program, not just in his own scenario, leading to the Day Reached? node being unusable, and much puzzlement, frustration, and accusations of Jeff being an idiot.
