BOH disappears between saving and loading (maybe same as #204) #507

Open ChristopherAIguy opened 10 months ago

ChristopherAIguy commented 10 months ago

I think I (Arnibald, on US Hardfought) encountered a save/load error in Hack'Em? My BOH disappeared, and after wandering the known universe looking for places I might have dropped it, I resorted to viewing the ttrrecs. And it somehow disappeared between saving and later loading the game in progress.

So, at the very end of one ttrrec (#4, https://www.hardfought.org/nh/hackem/trd-us/?file=https://hdf-us.s3.amazonaws.com/ttyrec/a/arnibald/hackem/ttyrec/2023-10-15.02:30:57.ttyrec.gz), I had the BOH in the final turn (41856, yeah I'm no speed-runner) before saving. You notice it in inventory while I briefly consider putting End (artifact polearm) in the BOH, but then just decide to carry it in open inventory as alternate weapon because I like the sweet sweet pounding.

And at the very beginning of the next (#3, https://www.hardfought.org/nh/hackem/trd-us/?file=https://hdf-us.s3.amazonaws.com/ttyrec/a/arnibald/hackem/ttyrec/2023-10-15.03:47:19.ttyrec.gz), first turn (41857), the BOH is just gone.

I think it may have made the game unwinnable because I had two of the alignment keys in the BOH.

Also, in terms of recovering game, the 1000 or so turns I spent wandering around looking for 'where I dropped it', might preclude recovery? I don't know if state history is stored, or just 'most recent checkpoint'. Fingers crossed, 'cause I would really appreciate not abandoning this promising run! Thanks and Sorry!

Whoops, nevermind the reference to 407. It was 204.

And last couple of turns before saving and reloading to find BOH disappeared: 1 (considering putting End artifact polearm/scythe in BOH): apply BOH, "i" for put things in, ")" for weapons, " " space for nevermind. 2 (making sure I can't dual-wield with End, which is two-handed): wielded both and tried to #twoweapon. No dice, it was worth a try. 3. Save.

When I loaded next day or maybe after a couple of days, no BOH! Ttrrecs are linked to above. Thanks again!

Wild idea, I typically carry the same sorts of things in open inventory and my typical loadout doesn't make Hack'Em disappear my BOH and I play thousands and thousands of turns, probably saving 100s of times per game. But not long before the "disappearing BOH save", I picked up a set of bagpipes, which appeared first in the list of tools when usually my BOH is first. And right before the save and aforementioned weapons juggle, there was something else involving tools in open inventory: I rubbed a blessed magic lamp, and dropped a blessed oil lamp (didn't get my wish, 'cause the genie was a jerk).

Do you know what game milestones you had achieved? Like beating the quest or getting crowned? This only seems to pop up late game (so far) so I'm wondering if it's only after a certain point.

ChristopherAIguy commented 10 months ago

Let me check [loading game to @overview for refresher]: Beat quest. Beat two alignment quests, Lawful and Chaotic. Solved Sokoban. Had not yet gotten down to Medusa or castle. Plundered a few branches fully: Grund's Stronghold, Mine's end, Town, One-eyed Sam's, Lost Tomb, Spider Caves, and Sunless Sea. Found Temple of Moloch and Giant Caverns, but left for later.

Edit: Not yet crowned.

Ok thank you!

elunna commented 10 months ago

Here are some big changes I've made that could be related to this issue. There have been many other changes, but these 3 were my first suspects.

Adding the quest boon and related flags

Removing the monster steed mechanic

Adding the SPIRIT_CLASS to objects

Some other changes, less likely, but worth noting:

mobileuser checked how the in_use variable might have been used, but "in restore.c I see that inven_inuse (deleting objects that were marked as in use) prints a message "Finishing off" and I don't see that in arnibald's ttyrec, so it can't be that..."

elunna commented 10 months ago

I just added a restriction so that the alignment keys cannot be placed into containers anymore - it's a minor bandaid to prevent a total unwinnable game until we can narrow down the problem
