Title: [0.9.9.3 AoH] Two entries to The Vaults
Post by: JoachimSchipper on June 02, 2011, 09:24
I found a second entry into the Vaults in my most recent Angel of Haste game; here's the post-suicide[1] mortem log and player.wad before entering the level. I'm on Windows. Is there anything more you'd like me to provide?

This AoH run also seems to give me much more treasure than my normal win in 0.9.9.2: Firestorm mod, Acid Spitter, Railgun(!), napalm launcher, super shotgun. And all the ordinary toys including the BFG from the Halls of Carnage.

[1] Hey, no reason I can't try to take a few with me, right?

FYI, the best way to post a post-mortem is with mortem tags. Like so (spoiler'd for bigness):

That said, I'm not sure what the bug is. Are you saying that you found a way to crack open one of the vaults by force? Because this is quite intentional and used to be the ONLY way into certain vaults.

This should not happen

The code that initially places special levels on AoH looks sound to me.  I suspect that this has something to do with saving/loading (as there used to be a similar problem for non AoH games).

It might help to know when you saved your game.

I tried to recall when I saved, but I don't know. I saved the second time before entering the second Vaults, but I really don't recall when I saved the first time.

For what it's worth, the timestamp on the last player.wad backup before loading the second save is ~30 minutes before the timestamp on the "save" file (attached, I missed it the first time but it may still be useful). I'm usually fast enough that I shouldn't have seen the first Vaults at that point yet, but I honestly don't know - I may have been distracted.

Thanks for the tip, I'll use [ mortem ] next time.
