Bugged book selling

Post by Dark »

When you sell some books you dont get money for them. You still pay when you buy them though... so practically when you buy a book and sell it you loose money.

Books with this bug I noticed:
Book of Morph in Zippy City
Book of Protection from Wizards Starter Module

Please mention in this topic others if you find any.

That one is known, yet we currently can't figure out why it doesn't work, seeing as the value is set correctly. It's like this with all books of Morph, not just with the one from Zippy.

The book of protection, on the other hand, should be an easy fix.
(Unfortunitally, I currently can't do much, seeing as Egoboo continues to refuse to work for me.)

Book of protection was already at correct value. I'm guessing you are using an older version.

Yeah, all books found in modules sell for zero.
Have you checked the setting of both book.obj and the spell .obj?

That is actually pretty common behavior in a lot of RPGs, so You can never make money by buying an object in place a and taking it to place b. Mostly, you always loose 50% of any gold you spent to buy the object.

Ah, that's why then. I updated the value of all books in a later version, so that only the book of Morph still refuses to sell for its actual value. Wait for the new version to be released, that one should fix some of that and many more stuff.

And hopefully your problem as well clonks! (I'm even more stumped on why it doesn't work for you now, even after disabling all the SDL_image that broke it in the first place).

Yeah, hopefully. =/
Would using different (newer/older?) versions of the dlls work, perhaps?

Didn't we try that out? The current SDL_image I include with Egoboo is a the old 1.2.6 version. The newest one is 1.2.11 (a couple of versions newer)

It might help updating SDL.dll itself also (which is also outdated, but reverted since that caused problems on your pc).

The king solution is ofc.... buying a new video card! Anything different than yours :P Even a 5€ card could work xD (yeah I know... not your pc..)
