Bug in v2.20

Re: Bug in v2.20
It is a Blizzard bug, not a mod bug, although in vanilla D2 you don't have skills and skilltab affixes on jewels, runes and gems.
When you socket anything that has skills or skilltabs adders, you sum both the strength of the affix and the skill/tab ID numbers. The result will be some other valid skill/tab (unlikely) or something the game cannot handle (likely). What you see in these shots is the second case. Actually, the screwy affixes in your screenshots are raw display fields from the tbl files, because the game is trying to match a string key to its display record. The shadow plate has a five-line "affix" that is actually dialog, and since affix display runs backwards the dialog is fed into the screen in reverse line order. The other affix with the %d in it is the base string which isn't being loaded with a value (%d is a numeric format specifier).

Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

Re: Bug in v2.20
And that's why both the readme file for the mod AND a clue in the game both warn against this kind of socketing.

Re: Bug in v2.20
Hey, is there supposed to be tome of identify charges (partial set bonus) when you have both ringmaster set rings? I think it's triggering a deadly crash when you open the skillz quick buttons.
That, or something, I took one off and it's fine though.

Re: Bug in v2.20
I'll look into that.

Re: Bug in v2.20
You're thinking of the various "fire blossom" gems.
If you put more than one in the same item, you will get weird, buggy effects.

Re: Bug in v2.20
Yes, i'm aware of that, but is there anyway this can be fixed?

Re: Bug in v2.20
Nope.
This is one of many reasons I'm keen to move on from SiC and start new with the Rise of the Old Gods mod...many things that weren't possible in 1.09 are possible with 1.10; the things that aren't (and which I didn't know about before with SiC) I now know to avoid.

Re: Bug in v2.20
well, heres my two cents on bugs that ive seen, not gauranteed they are bugs but they are there, number one, i have noticed like others that some of the unique monsters drop full sets depending on the difficulty, grizwold drops his own full set, the armorer drops mavinas full set, and one of the counsil before meph drops trangs full set, even more than 2 and 3 ive seen, some drop in travincal, then in durance of hate lvl 3. i dont know if that was purposely done or what. number two, while playing in the realm with sic 2.2, my lvl 22 barbarian wasnt able to distribute pts on skills after lvl 20, i dont know if thats cuz of the 2.21b test realm or what, but it happened about 12 hrs before the test. the last thing i was wondering about is the unique jewel charm "seafoam lens" that is made with a perf sapphire, for some reason, in version 2.2 this recipe does not work e.g. gem creche, any jewel, perfect sapphire, ancient engraved bowl=no change. Well, dont sweat things too bad Jeff ur mod still owns and im sure you will get around to things when you get around to things, peace out and thx
