Title: Levrus Has Gone AWOL
Post by: The Wandering Djinn on July 17, 2006, 11:54:09 am

I just went into the Magic Shop and Levrus was not behind his desk. I Searched around and apart from some Fish "hidden" in the nearby landscape, I couldn't find him..
so I logged out of PS and back in... Levrus was still missing. Has he been taught Harnquist's little penchant for wanderlust that used to afflict him?

NB: AWOL = Absent Without Official Leave, an acronym that escaped the bonds of millitary jargon

I've found out that he likes playing 'hiding' games. Go inside the shop, downtairs, and back upstairs again, He'll be there laughing out loud :)

Thanks TestLab, I actually crossed a map-boundary and returned just now, and Levrus and his Meteor Glyph downstairs had returned.

This is a bug that has been reported in here:
http://www.hydlaa.com/bugtracker/bug.php?op=show&bugid=1908&pos=18

When this report is closed, Levrus won't play "hide and seek" cheating as he does now, anymore ;)

I had to log out and then log back in.

One thing I'd noticed is that while that was happening, the walls in Levrus' place were black, as though they were painted.
When he came back they reverted to a brownstone look.

Those are different issues.

The blackness of walls is caused because, if you come from hydlaa, and you load the magicshop map, it doesn't found cached lighting for different objects (one of them the texture for magic shop walls) and thus shows completely black.

When you logged off, and back on, you only loaded magicshop map, and that avoided the error of "not finding a cached lighting" for magicshop walls.

StarsAndBars_1018 are you running the game with the option "keep maps loaded" on ?
