Tenderfoot Thahd Dogbreath Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 This bug occured frequently in Avernum 1&2: When I enter combat with my party, and the switches from character to character, occassionally it will "freeze" on my priest. (Regardless of what postition s/he is in)To explain this, I will use up all my combat points, then the game will cycle through the next round (with all the baddies making their moves) then it'll skip straight to the priest again, not allowing any of my other characters to make any moves. This happens over and over again, even if I wait ~30 moves after combat. It's usually so scarce that I can just restore from a previous save and move on, but as of late it's been occuring ~25% of the time I start combat, making it impossible to play. Is there any way to fix this? To get it over with: no, my other characters are not paralyzed, confused, charmed, etc. or in any way prevented from normally moving. As far as I can tell, this is a real bug. Any help is greatly appriciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Sounds like you pressed a little button along th bottom of the screen that makes just one character active. It looks like a little man surrounded by 3 littler men. Pressing this should make the rest of the characters active. I think (i) is a shortcut for this.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I believe the shortcut is (o), IIRC. I have no idea why Jeff created this option. It is extremely annoying. I'd hit it accidentally when reaching to cast a priest spell, and for a while I didn't know what was going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I find it useful when there is only one character who should act for several rounds consecutively. This is only necessary in special situations, like combat puzzles, but I like to use it when my party becomes God-like and I want to see what a single PC can do.

Tenderfoot Thahd Dogbreath Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 Ah, thank you thank you thank you. I use my keyboard a lot, especially when targetting enemies, so I'd imagine I accidentially hit this a lot... But that still doesn't explain why it only happens to my priests. Anyhow, I'll give it a try and see if it fixes it. Edit: Because O is right next to P. (Doh! Should've seen that) I just got a new keyboard with weird wrist rests so I make a lot of typos... that explains the recent occurances, I guess. Sorry for wasting your time, anyhow! I really appriciate the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
