PR2 Client Bug Reporting Thread

[bls1999]

Have you been plagued by a client bug since the dawn of time? Well, now's your chance to get it fixed!

Use this thread to post about miscellaneous PR2 client bugs. While I'm rehabilitating the code, I'll try to patch as many as I can.

I've already patched quite a few, including:
- Kong badges
- Prize popup flavor text
- Chat scrollbar/arrows being wonky
- Game music resetting if you close the menu without choosing a new song
- Art being cleared when loading a level with draw BGs off
- Sir feet outline in truly invisible/bubble feet
- "Phantom" levels appearing below the clickable area and messing with the placement of the play/cancel menu you get when entering a slot

Looking forward to squashing some years-old bugs!

Time isn't affected by lag so if your lagging a level becomes harder to complete.

Only the big timer in the corner gets messed up.
At the end of the race it shows your real time.

when you edit and update a level with a password sometimes it losees the password

Race chat scrolling only scrolls one of the two textboxes. Simple solution is locking scrolling, difficult solution is making the two scroll in sync…

I shall update this list, as I run into more issues.

The player is un-ignored, but the button still says "Un-ignore", rather than "Ignore".

Options > Key Mapping
Every letter, except "A", capitalises itself, without the need to turn on 'Caps Lock', or hold down 'Shift'.
Note: this is more of a cosmetic bug, and does not affect the gameplay.

Ice Block/Push Block

When crawling in a 1 block height area, if the ice block is right after arrows that are the same direction of travel, the ice blocks stops you dead on the track. It seems to me that the Push Blocks get pushed but the game still thinks it's there or something.

After that, you start moving again as if you were moving from a stationary position.

Not sure I can speed this up. The delay is caused by accessing the destination/source on the file system.

I can fix this in a future client build; make a suggestion thread so I don't forget!

I believe this is an intended gameplay mechanic. What's the alternate result you're expecting?

It doesn't really affect the gameplay, so I guess it's alright. I'll leave this bit for either you, Jiggmin and/or the community to decide.

Will do

If that is the intended gameplay mechanic, then leave it alone, I guess. I've probably forgotten that was a thing

I expected the character to push the block without stopping too much, but in a jerky manner.

That probably makes more sense, but I'm not sure what to change in the physics to make that a thing. I think it's best to leave it as it is. :/

This is a bug that happens when you earn GP. It will keep flashing the amount of GP you got during that race even if you quit the level and starts playing another level. The only way to fix it is to refresh the page.

are you sure that's a bug? i haven't heard anyone else being unable to login

A few bugs I found,

You can't see when another player has an item such as a Superjump, Gun and Mine (only ones tested so far).

When moving, if you press enter to type a message, your character stops moving completely. You can start moving again if you press the arrows, however when you press enter to send the message, your character stops moving again.

yes, recently i logged on and then suddenly i cant, and since i cant send the pw to my email either i cant access the acc at all.
i dont know if you can check logs on the game but i was on frequently in the past few weeks even moonfiredk can tell.
i had requested new pw recently and used the pw sent to me as the my current one so perhaps that got erased and my email too somehow? 

update: nvm, its working now?!

The 60-second auto warning for spamming stopped working..

[Battlealvin2009]

Is it normal at this stage of the update to not be able to access our own levels? It crashes Flash when I tried loading my levels.
