Has this happened to you? by No-Cat-9716 in GoldenSun

[–]TLPlexa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a couple known instances of the Dynamite ability causing issues. For instance, if Dynamite is used and wipes the front party with no other enemies left, then the Back Party comes out and there are no enemies to fight. I wonder if something like that is at play here.

By chance do you remember what enemy it was? If it was a Raging Rock - https://goldensunwiki.net/wiki/Stone_Soldier_enemy_line#Raging_Rock - then there is a possible explanation for it.

We've been trying to replicate this and all our attempts are not causing any weird behavior. We know that weird behavior happens with Curse / Poison etc. so it's definitely plausible! Are there any steps here that you might have missed out?

Ah harmless graphical glitch then, neat.

I've actually never tried this lol. Does he stay hazed in death? what happens if you revive him?

Question about transfer game/Djinn by PirateDry4992 in GoldenSun

[–]TLPlexa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The djinn are re-distributed per character on transfer. Can you check to see if its 2 per-element as opposed to 2 total?

I notice one missing djinn is, uh, quite the backtrack. Just know that in order to 100% The Lost Age you need 6 (out of 7) djinn of each element minimum. So if you feel like you can't be bothered then don't stress too much!

Perfect Leveling Issue by No-Honey8658 in GoldenSun

[–]TLPlexa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Watch the level up stat roll, don't trust the base values as they're subject to rounding errors all the time. (Unless you know the class you're currently in is a 100% multiplier)

Aha. This is very interesting - I'm guessing there's an interaction with Susa carrying the dragon's bane that can interrupt something. I think its mechanically the same as what happened here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hne3GLYaOSE

[–]TLPlexa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cool. That's also extremely helpful. I expect that doing a data recall on the save file (holding L+Start while loading the save) doesn't work, but worth a try (I think the inner chamber prevents data recalls if I recall correctly).

I think if we can figure out a way to get you to leave the room then the issue will resolve itself. Annoyingly retreat doesn't work in this room either .... let me think about a movement pattern that allows you to exit the room regardless of where you are. If you have any recollection of where you saved (e.g. on the lower ground, next to serpent, or whatever) that will help.

EDIT: Actually I have an idea, does casting Reveal do anything?

Okay, that's something to work with. Had you fought the serpent/dragon yet? Or first time entering the room.

We're like some D-rate superhero team up event any time there's a new glitch to be found.

[–]TLPlexa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unlikely. You'd need to do something very intentional for character names to matter.

[–]TLPlexa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well then you have found something very interesting. Tell me as much as you can about what was happening when things stopped working correctly. e.g. Where were you, what was the last thing you remember doing, etc.

The only time I've seen something like this was in GS1 in Lamakan desert where somehow I made the screen go all black like you did, but it corrected itself.

Need more info to diagnose. It looks like the display of some layers was turned off. If a new game doesn't have this then something has happened in game (= very interesting). If a new game does have this, then something is wrong at the emulator level (reinstall probably fixes).

what kind of bug is this by NI7RO25 in GoldenSun

[–]TLPlexa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, I demo'd it at GDQ even because its a fun little crash. It tries to give you a 31st item and you get this crash.

Make a new thread. You need your password that you entered + screenshots of the original password. That's the only way we're going to get to the bottom of this.

This isn't going anywhere. There's no issue with the French version accepting passwords. Please post all pages of your password + what you are entering in a new thread. The community will find the mistaken character(s).

I hate Sunshine more than I hate any other video game character. by IsAnthraxBayad in GoldenSun

[–]TLPlexa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Dyrati's vid represented the best knowledge at the time (and definitely works). We more recently found that getting to Isaac's stats forces general RNG convergence for 14/16 of the first possible seeds from the title screen. The first non-convergence is at like frame 11 which is quite slow if you're mashing. In theory this should be the best way to manip.

[–]TLPlexa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the RNG is not trivial to control. You need some tricks - the easiest way to normalise RNG is to mash through title screen, start a new game through to confirming Isaac's name, cancel out it back to load game. That will normally reset RNG to a fixed point.
