Title: BUG 0.9.9: Enemies not attacking back
Post by: gzz on October 21, 2009, 09:17

It happens in the marksmanship challenge and it's a cheat, so I'll put the spoiler tags:

When I was wielding a combat knife this hell knight didn't hit back in melee (haven't tried if it happens with other non-gun weapons and monsters):

This was in v0.9.9 in Linux, in the Halls of Carnage

Btw, music doesn't work in Linux (.mid files). Sound works fine.

Did you notice if enemies around you move when you're doing this? It looks to me that the game assumes you're attacking with fists but the attack tiself is costing 0 energy.

Edit: Nevermind I reproduced the bug myself. Works with any weapon (Fists excluded)... whenever you try to melee attack someone and you're not using a correct weapon it will do a fist attack that costs no energy and gives the proper message.

They don't move, it's as if time didn't passed after i "hit" with the knife...

I also was wearing the Necroarmor and it worked with other enemies (skulls and pain elementals)

I think I have this issue studied enough. I'll report it to Kornel with as much detail as possible. Thank you for reporting.

Reminds me of a similar bug in CastlevaniaRL long ago:

Attacking with fists took no time:

I've figured out how to reproduce it consistently.

Breaks: All modes where you're limited to one type of weapon.

Really bad if you try it in AoB if you're going for Blademaster. Does not happen without Hellrunner.
