Adv770 bugs, problems and change history

All comments welcome!
 
Colour code: fixed, fixed in next release, not reproduced, reproduced but not fixed

Firstly, a fundamental restriction, due to the way the A-code engine handles player input. Game-save names cannot contain the dot character. All player input, including responses to prompts, is passed through the command parser, and dots are command separators (as are semicolons). Hence a game-save name will be truncated at the first dot, and the rest will be assumed to be a separate command or response.

  • Version 1.81, 31 Jan 2007

    • There is no way to slow the output speed down for a more authentic experience of the game as it used to be played on old teletypes, thermiprinters, DECwriters etc...
      Reported by Jonathan Bayer. Not a bug, but an excellent suggestion! Added (for "dumb" console modes only) in version 1.82.

      First reported by Warren Post in version 1.73. Severity: cosmetic. Affects all previous version. Fixed in version 1.79
  • Version 1.77, 15 Jul 2006
    The previously reported issue related to 64bit architectures is not in fact a bug; both the acdc translator and the code it generates are inherently 32bit and must be built explicitly as such on 64bit architectures.
    • Some uses and abbreviations of the word OBJECT can cause the game to respond on the lines of "I don't know how to do this to a '*GLITCH*'"
      Reported by Blair Carter. Severity: minor. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.78

      Reported by Blair Carter. Severity: moderate. Fixed in version 1.78
    • The picnic grounds notice doesn't show its broken right-hand edge, as it used to in Adv660.
      Reported by Blair Carter. Severity: minor. Affects all previous versions -- this was quite deliberate, to avoid complications when the game is run on-line through an HTML wrapper. Fixed in version 1.78.

      Reported by Blair Carter. Severity: cosmetic. Fixed in version 1.78.
    • In the terse mode, the FEE.. sequence (and some other commands) just give the next prompt (after two blank lines in the console versions).
      Reported by Blair Carter. Severity: not really a bug; that's what the terse mode was meant to do (except for the second blank line) in the days of teletypes. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.78.
    • In the bird chamber, examinig the walls causes the game to remark on "formations", but if the player does so, he is told that no formations are present.
      Reported by Blair Carter. Severity: cosmetic. Fixed in version 1.78.

      Reported by Blair Carter and found in testing. Severity: cosmetic. Fixed in version 1.78.

    • The FEE... sequence is missing the derisory (but helpful!) comment if the player gets it wrong.
      Found in testing. Affects all previous versions. Severity: minor. Fixed in version 1.78
  • Version 1.76, 04 Mar 2006

      Reported by Rand Phares. Severity: cosmetic. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.75.
    • The message in response to removing a small worn object when arms are full, is somewhat inappropriate.
      Reported by Rand Phares. Severity: cosmetic. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.75.
    • A number of typos and syntax errors still present in messages and descriptions.
      Reported by Rand Phares. Severity: cosmetic. Affects all previous versions. All reported ones fixed in version 1.75.
  • Version 1.73, 15 Oct 2005

      Reported by Warren Post. Severity: minor. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.74.
  • Version 1.72, 10 Sep 2005 -- BUGGED! Anybody playing this version should upgrade a.s.a.p. to a later one!
    • Dark forest exit message is given on every move within the dark forest, instead of on exit from it.
      Observed in player logs. Severity: HIGH! This is a symptom of a bug in ACDC, which has some other, far more serious consequences throughout the game. Affects only version 1.72. Fixed in version 1.73.
  • Version 1.71, 31 Jul 2005
    • The game mentions a mouse disappearing down a mouse hole, but refuses to acknowledge the hole's presence at that location.
      Reported by Warren Post. Severity: cosmetic. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.72.

    • One of the magic words can give a somewhat misleading response if used (unnecessarily) with a noun.

    • In the Linux readline version of the game, some game messages are truncated and the following prompt is missing too.
      Reported by Warren Post. Severity: serious! Affects all previous versions Worked around in version 1.67. Proper fix implemented in 1.68.
  • Version 1.65, 26 Mar 2005
    • LAMP OFF not understood, though OFF LAMP is (and ditto for LAMP ON, and various alternatives to ON and OFF).
      Observed in player logs. Severity: nasty! Affects all previous version. Fixed in version 1.66.
    • The XGlk-instrumented executable does not allow the player to specify an alternative font.
      This is a feature of XGlk - one can't expect players to fiddle with X resources! Fixed in version 1.66, by allowing the default font family to be set via the environmental variable GLKFONT (e.g. GLKFONT=helvetica ./adv770x). Note, however, that XGlk will crash if the specified font doesn't have all variants it wants (e.g. italic).

    • On some platforms the pre-built XGlk executable is unable to find the Adobe times font, and crashes out as the result.
      Found in testing. Severity: serious. This is a mis-feature of the XGlk library. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.65 by modifying XGlk default font spec.
  • Version 1.63, 27 Feb 2005
    • Bushes etc are described around the house, but the game denies their existence.
      Observed in player logs. Severity: cosmetic but embarrassing. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.64.
    • When player is being prompted for the saved game to restore, the CANCEL command is taken to be a game name.
      Reported by an anonymous player. Severity: irritating. Affects all previous versions. Not strictly a bug, but I've fixed it in version 1.64 anyway. The upshot is, you can't have a saved game with a name which, as a command, would be interpreted as QUIT (e.g. Q, CANCEL, ABORT...).
    • A 64-bit game executable cannot restore games saved by 32-bit executables, and vice versa.
      Found in testing. Severity: minor. The problem affects only those players who build their own 64 bit executable from Adv770 C source. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.64, but only for games saved by version 1.64 or later. (Yes, well spotted - this used to be a "nothing to be done about it" problem, but I got inspired. :-)
    • Names (and pathnames) of saved games are restricted to 16 characters.
      Previously thought to be a fundamental restriction for versions 1.*. Severity: irritating. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.64.

    • If game saved in the location above the chapel, continuing the game, or restoring that saved game, results in an inappropriate message.
      Reported by Blair Carter. Severity: unfortunate! Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.63, but games saved by earlier version will still produce the message,
    • The word QUARTZ not understood in the Morion Room (or elsewhere), until a particular treasure is found.
      Reported by Blair Carter. Severity: irritating. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.63, together with other issues to do with materials of objects (e.g. gold nugget, silver bars etc...)
      • The word island is not recognised on the mainland, except at the picnic place.
      Reported by Blair Carter. Severity: irritating. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.63, together with a few other problems arasing from place names being also vocabulary nouns.

    • Cannot save games with pathnames which begin with "..".
      Discovered in testing. Severity: moderate. Affects all previous versions. Fudged around in version 1.62. This has to be a fudge, because a dot is a command separator, and so (path)names of saved games cannot generally contain a dot.
  • Version 1.60, 31 Dec 2004
    • There is no UNDO command!
      OK, OK... I give up. Change history tracking now hacked into the general A-code engine, and the commands UNDO and REDO added in version 1.61 of Adv770. But undoing a command that resulted in a penalty, won't cancel the penalty - so there!
    • The game denies the presence of a clearely present streambed!
      Observed in player logs. Severity: cosmetic. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.61.
  • Version 1.59, 22 Dec 2004
    • The short description of the hill doesn't make sense.
      Reported by Bryan Bishop. Severity: cosmetic. Affects all previous versions and most (all?) other Adventure versions (including the original Crowther and Woods one). Fixed in version 1.60.
    • The FOLLOW ROAD command should default to following the forest track as well.
      Observed in player logs. Severity: slightly confusing. Affects all previous bersions. Fixed in version 1.60.
  • Version 1.58, 06 Dec 2004
    • In one specific condition, the player can still be incorrectly advised to explore more above the ground.
      Reported by Robert Barrone. Severity: confusing. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.59.
    • The FEE FIE... sequence has no effect once the imminent closure of the cave is announced.
      Reported by Robert Barrone. Severity: cosmetic (it wouldn't do you any good anyway, at that stage of the game). Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.59.
  • Version 1.57, 22 Nov 2004
    • The game refuses to acknowledge that dwarves are present in the repository.

      Reported by Susan Woodbury. Severity: medium. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.56.
    • Teeth always wind up in a neat pile, even if tossed down by the player.
      Reported by Warren Post. Severity: cosmetic. Fixed in version 1.56.
  • Version 1.54, 01 Sep 2004
    • All references to a particular portable object are misunderstood at the entrance to the dwarf tower.
      Reported by Susan Woodbury. Severity: nasty! Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.55.
    • There is no hint for the slippery shaft. There should be!
      Suggested by Warren Post. Severity: depends on your PoV. Affects all previous versions. Hint added in version 1.55.
  • Version 1.53, 28 Aug 2004
    • In the repository stage of the end-game, all game objects are "virtually" present. I.e. they are not described but can be picked up and/or manipulated.
      Reported by Kipp Hickman. Severity: a bad one - player can escape back into the cave! Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.54.
  • Version 1.52, 14 Aug 2004
    • Under some conditions, the magazines can wind up in the building in the endgame stage,
      Observed in player logs. Severity: serious! Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.53.

      Repoted by Kevin Bengochea. Severity: minor. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.53.
  • Version 1.51, 07 Aug 2004
    • There is an unintended way of escaping from the dwarf tower!
      Repoted by Kevin Bengochea. Severity: serious! Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.52.
    • The tower is present in the hill description, but some commands refuse to acknowledge its existence.
      Observed in player logs. Severity: cosmetic. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.52.
    • One of the desert locations mentiones a significant feature only in its brief description.
      Observed in player logs. Severity: fairly serious. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.52.
    • Final stages of the game could do with a bit more in the way of hints and visions, to prod the player in the right direction.
      Severity: depends on your PoV. Affects all previous versions. Improved out of the goodness of my heart in version 1.52.
  • Version 1.50, 24 Jul 2004
    • The TRANSLATE command does not always come up with the appropriate quip when applied to various Dwarvish notices.
      Observed in player logs. Severity: minor. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.51.
    • A-code kernel bug: in a compound command, which includes an ALL EXCEPT construct, the remainder of the command is ignored.

      Reported by Mike Papanicolas. Severity: not a bug, but a feature. Present in all previous versions. Modified in version 1.51.
    • If the name of the saved game to restore has to be prompted for, and the player doesn't want to keep the the save file, its deletion sometimes fails.

  • Version 1.48, 05 Jul 2004
    • Some inessential commands deny the existence of water, sand or cliff, in locations where these are manifestly present.
      Observed in player logs. Severity: cosmetic. Affects all previous versions. Fixed in version 1.49.
    • There's no warning to players that just opening the flask is not a bright idea.
