df_custom Dark Tide 1 Kell Dragons can be frozen in animation #21

Closed bitcores closed 3 years ago

bitcores commented 3 years ago

Description: When fighting the Kell Dragons in Dark Tide 1 it is possible to cause the animation to freeze and break the AI loop of the Kell Dragon. This makes the Kell Dragon unkillable, which doesn't affect level completion unless it is frozen in a position that blocks progress.

Steps to reproduce:

crouch and aim up while punching the Kell Dragon
time your punches when it is attacking or performing a leap attack
get lucky

The KELL.WAX shipped in the DT1 GOB is non-standard, or corrupted, which causes the animation freezing. Thanks to Secbase for rebuilding the KELL.WAX from the custom sprites and original metadata. The Kell Dragons no longer freeze.
