Bugs In Chex Quest 3

[arch129]

Since Chucker requested it, its here!

If anyone finds something post it here in this topic.

EDIT: The list was removed because it was out dated and most of the issues have been fixed.

EDIT: Remember, when you're taking screenshots, don't forget to type KIMHYERS (for chex3.exe) or IDMYPOS (for other engines) so the coordinates of where you are are shown on the screenshot! This really helps Chukker find stuff. -Manny Cav

EDIT: I'm posting the main list here in the first post so it can be easily found. -Manny Cav

• The "mikekoenigs" and "scottholman" cheats are reversed.
• The "sherrill" cheat doesn't seem to work.
• Not a Chex Quest 3 bug per se, but the source at http://www.chucktropolis.com/downloads/chex3_zdoom.zip seems to have a few hiccups. The standard Windows Extractor stopped extracting as soon as it encountered an error, and WinRAR and 7-Zip showed the following errors with a more complete package:
  

  
  !   C:\chex3_zdoom.zip: CRC failed in chex3_zdoom\chex3.ncb. The file is corrupt
  !   C:\chex3_zdoom.zip: CRC failed in chex3_zdoom\src\p_lights.cpp. The file is corrupt
  !   C:\chex3_zdoom.zip: CRC failed in chex3_zdoom\tools\fmodapi375win\documentation\FMOD.chm. The file is corrupt
  

• Rather than replace the current set of IFOG spirtes, you added a new set, which means there are two IFOGA0s, IFOGB0s, etc.
• E1M4: The switch at the end of the level seems to be hard to activate sometimes.
• E1M5: If you compare the original chex.wad E1M5 to the current one, you'll notice that a LAZ Device is missing in the hidden slime area near the Flembrane. It currently contains four BWAs and a Super Chex Armor.
• E2M1: The elevator near the beginning of the level that leads to the region with the red key exhibits unusual behavior. You can't use it from the bottom area, but you can goad a Flemoid into stepping onto it, which will lower it. However, this works only once. Once a Flemoid or the player has used the lift once, it can't be lowered again.
• E2M3: The large building structure you made doesn't render well as long distances, such as when viewed near the exit in the maze. It tends to move around in 'bands.'
  
• E2M5: At X: 102, Y: -2171, Z: 30, the door near the elevator with the bowl of fruit isn't marked in some fashion as a door on the side with the bowl of fruit.
• E2M5: The two trap doors near the red key door can be opened manually by Flemoids. This most notably affected the first one, where, sometimes, the door will be open by the time the player gets to it, rendering the trap moot. The trap doors in the maze containing the red key also seem to exhibit this behavior.
• E3M4: Two rendering anomalies can be found in the screenshot uploaded here. There's a strange strand of texture going up to the top of the screen, and the tree nearest to the left edge is also too close to the rock wall, causing it to be clipped. It needs to be a little farther out.
  
• E3M5: Misaligned tracks (tracks that appear to have improper horizontal offsets) on doors can be found throughout the level.
• Not a Chex Quest 3 bug per se, but the two Doom Builder configuration files you made have some slight inconsistencies. There's a hyphen in "Mini-Zorch Pack," which causes an error in the order. "Propulsor Zorch Pack" and "Propulsor Zorch Recharge" both have the "Propulsor" and "Zorch" out of order. "Zorchpack" is also spelled "Zorchpak" in Chex Quest nomenclature. "Bootspork" is actually called "Super Bootspork." "Slime Repellant" should be "Slime Repellent." "Slime-Proof Suit" should be "Slimeproof Suit." "Computer map" should be "Computer Area Map." "Slimey Urn" should be "Slimy Urn" (though it's worthy of note that "Super Slimey" is also misspelled). "Stalagtite" should be "Stalactite." I know that's a lot, but I have found myself using the Doom Builder 1 configuration file regularly, and some of those throw me off a bit and make things a bit more complicated.

oh dang...><

well, I got some after I decided to play through...its a slight inacurate, and a bit technical, but oh well...

Thanks for doing this, fellas. I have knocked out many of the bugs, but the CYBRE1 sprite bug I am not able to reproduce. Could somebody post a screen of the error?

[The Green Avenger]

The bug is that there is no CYBRE1 sprite, at least in the version you gave us.

[Dvader0086]

still works for me no errors...

[xbolt]

Also, in E3M2, linedef 808 has an upper texture (GREYWALL) on it's front side. I kinda don't think that belongs there...

When you open the chex3.wad in a wad editor the CYBRE1 sprite ends up looking like this...

I looked at it again with SlumpEd this morning and it was correct. Do you also see this broken sprite image in-game when the creature attacks?

[Dvader0086]

i have the full image... should be good

Nope, in game its quite fine, but if you open it in the wad or move the file to another wad it looks like that bar thingy.
I'm using XWE to open the file.

[Dvader0086]

hmmm i have it in my wad just fine...

[arch129]

I think It might just be something with XWE.
Chucker can you please post the CYBRE1 sprite here, I might try something to get it work, but I need the orignal image.

[Dvader0086]

i'll gets it to ya



there

I used to get that too when i used xwe with beta... maybe you have beta?

[arch129]

No no, thats not the right frame.
I think thats CYBRA1, but I need CYBRE1.
