[QUOTE="Nunya, post: 156419, member: 3334"] [b]Bugs n stuph[/b] Bad news, I couldn't test the combat features of RPM this weekend because I couldn't even create the 5 characters I wanted to test with. Most of the problems stem from a bug while adding items to a creature. I'd be going along merrily adding items to a character when I'd start getting a message that an item couldn't be added because it already existed. At this point the program would become extremely unstable and I suspect the DB was corrupt. Another bug noticed was that when creating a creature with the wizard it would default to the race of the currently selected creature. If this happened to be Elf, then the sub-race field would have "High" selected(even after changing the race to Human). When I click "Next" to go to the next screen I get a message asking me if I want to quit to protect the DB(even if I cleared the sub-race field). A script window would be popped up behind the other windows. Even if I closed RPM, this partial character would be in the DB because I can never create him again(Key Violation. Must be generating the same ID as the partial in the DB, maybe the ID generator table was rolled back while one of the others wasn't). I tried creating each character using a fresh DB and exporting it. I then started from a clean DB and imported all of them, but strangeness would start occurring. The last straw for me was when 75% of the items from one of the characters disappeared after importing the last creature(again I couldn't re-add the items due to the "already exists" message). I don't know if this was caused by the import or something different. Another bug is that after importing a creature, I have to re-select my adventure to get them to appear in the list screen or creature screen. Anyway, my opinion is that RPM is a bit farther away from a Beta than we thought. If I can't enter a bunch of characters and have them work just for character management, then I can't use any of the other features either. [/QUOTE]
