I'm fairly certain I broke my rainbow bubbles; Although, I am pretty sure that is my fault for playing around with PowerWopAlpha in the POTZ editor.

The dialog crashing bug mentioned in this post is still there. Most of us probably won't get the crash, but try not to save dialogs a lot guys. (it will crash when trying to access a dialog that's been saved 102 times)

Zapbots with moobot logic don't seem to burn.

Zipbots seem to crash the editor if you flash them to another spot. This still happens even if you flash them onto the same type of floor.
Yeah, this bug kinda broke my whole adventure. ._.

Check if you've got Flash set up properly, try flashing something else that moves. Zip-Bots don't work any differently than anything else when it comes to Flash.

I tried flashing a few other objects and it did work.
I'll attach a picture.
I flash one of the outer Zipbots, and then try to flash it onto the magic charger. The game crashes with an AIOOB error.

Send a picture of 1,1.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:27 pm

If your 1,1 is wall, give it floor logic. Enemies do not like being shoved into walls.

Jutomi · Post by **Jutomi** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:43 pm

Neither do I.

Err...

Wait, don't interpret that wrong, please; I'm not a Z-bot

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:11 pm

Stinkers and Kaboom!s also hate getting shoved into walls, actually. They immediately die and the adventure fails with the "you must protect from harm" message.

... and yet, strangely, Star NPCs don't.

You can even use pow on them, and you won't fail the adventure.

OH GOD, WHAT.

That's..... unexpected, to be honest.

Yep, I went on a murderous rampage in Star Town once.

OH, Well that explains a lot on my part, I though Wonderland King was talking about the floor the monster was flashed to for some reason. *Self-Facepalm*

I don't even know how I couldn't understand that.

Thwarts and ice trolls can also be Powed 'safely.'

These are flash magic rules:
1.when flashed it goes to 1,1 which should be floor logic to avoid crashing
2.there should be walls around 1,1 which avoids object getting out of 1,1

If a Kaboom! is killed in a wlv with a Zap-Bot, it will still say, "Stinker eliminated."

I wonder if Kaboom!s are secretly stinkers inside massive bomb costumes with fuses on their heads...

that'd be a strange turn of events.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. But if you place a Retro Wood Box object in a level, it cannot be pushed.

That's because, unfortunately, the WA Editor doesn't have box-pushing stuff. Sorry!

Flashing a Zipbot worked for me in an adventure I downloaded... Never tried to reflash it though, I just needed it out of my so I flashed him with an extra charge I had...

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 8:05 pm

Flash an object then leave the wlv and come back. Indigo magic should be in re-Flash mode, but it's not.

This is a pretty serious bug.

Wonderman109 · Post by **Wonderman109** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 2:09 am

I'm a little worried how this could be abused.

Jutomi · Post by **Jutomi** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 3:31 am

I all ready abused it in my "Sunken Cemitary" level...

Although, something else is interesting...

apparently, if you try to reflash an object onto a non-apparent wraith, it turns into a ghost, and won't reflash.

The only ways, to my knowledge, of combating this is either to reflash the object, at 1,1, and place it elsewhere, or flash an other object which sends the old one back, leaving the first one out...

though, I can't remember if this involved doing the bug a second time, or if it even left a ghost, for that matter.

Jutomi · Post by **Jutomi** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 4:52 am

Evidently, I can't play the player while I'm uploading a video.

And I was looking so forward to playing Qloof's strange adventure, too.

Wonderman109 · Post by **Wonderman109** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 9:29 pm

This bug didn't happen in WAE1.

Jutomi · Post by **Jutomi** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 9:50 pm

I'd just like to mention that your character looks amazing.

jdl · Post by **jdl** » Fri Mar 14, 2014 10:07 pm

Just wanted to say that the "Couldn't Load Mesh" problem is really bad. I was cycling through the objects in the Editor and it error'd on me and I lost all my work for a wlv. It's my fault for not saving enough, but this really needs to be fixed.

llarson · Post by **llarson** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 3:55 am

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but: I have the theme "Retro" in one of my rooms and I had a CMD12 right as you enter the room. Once I died however I pushed Restart Adventure. My first room didn't have any music but now Retro at normal speed was playing.
