You must really be starting to hate me now. On the journal page apostrophes are shown as a box for book 6 (e.g. section 297) but appear correctly for the other books (e.g. book 5, section 52). I also noticed that endurance is abbreviated as EP in books 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 but as EN in book 3.

Pike, quite the opposite, I assure you. I genuinely appreciate your attention to detail and your thorough bug reports, that make it very easy to find and fix the problem. Journal apostrophes now fixed! Also, all ENs are now EPs! I love consistency.

Not tested version 1.6.4 yet, but the point was that I have not weaponmastery at all, but have checked +3 bonus for RN pick. Maybe this is the reason... I don't know why, but it wasn't doing any checking whatsoever... Rest assured, now it is. You only get the bonus if it is selected *and* you have Weaponmastery in bow. Fixed! This is now fixed. It was only checking to see if you'd turned down Altan's offer, and not to see if you'd talked to the umpire. (sounds like a baseball game...) ----------- Another bug fixed: Getting notified that you qualified for a by the book hall of fame run, even though you didn't complete all five books. (like only one...) -------------- And another : Once you've had a quiver, if it then is taken away, the quiver graphic mis-aligns on the action chart. Fixed now! ------------------- That shopkeeper is a con-artist! Instead of something for nothing, he gave you nothing for something. Okay, fixed. Now you actually get told that you can't take any BEFORE you hand over your money. You now see a message that you couldn't take all of the arrows. (You still pay 1 gold crown to top off your quiver, though.)

Version 1.6.4, book 2, by the book rules. In the first Helghast combat i have mindshield, but i still lose 2 points of endurance. I assume you are talking about section 106. I just now tested and tested multiple times with different skills and rulesets. It behaves exacts as expected on my system. If I have Mindshield, I don't take an extra 2 damage. If I don't have it, I take an extra 2 damage each round. Perhaps you simply hit the right Combat Ratio/Random number combination to deal LW 2 damage? Would you mind going back and testing it again? Pay close attention to whether you see an animation of "adding damage" after the two damage scores come up. If you don't see an extra box pop up and merge into your damage score, then it's working right (well, provided you have Mindshield!)

Found another weird one: When you finish the Kai series, if you've completed all of the books, then you are given the last discipline, so now you have all 10 disciplines going into the Magnakai series (for Loyalty bonus!) That part is not the bug.
The bug is that on Hardcore, it still adds a discipline. So, oops, now you have 6 disciplines. Big Deal, you might say, you don't really use the kai disciplines in the Magnakai series. Well, aside from the obvious Loyalty Bonuses (which affect fully half of the disciplines), what this incorrectly does is allow LW to choose from 6 of the Magnakai disciplines, instead of only 5.
Anyway, it does not invalidate Kai series Hardcore runs, but it WILL invalidate the subsequent Magnakai Hardcore run. I'll be sending notifications to the couple of people who've submitted Hardcore entries for the HOF that they won't be able to carry that one on to the end. Sorry about that, affected people!
This has been fixed for the next bugfix release.

All right... bug fix 1.6.5 is now up! Yes, that's three releases in 24 hours. I'm nuts! It's only because school hasn't started yet... Anyhow, perhaps needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, if you have a bug to report, please ensure that you are using the latest version (1.6.5) before writing in about it to see if it still occurs. Thanks! see this thread here for a full description of recent fixes.

Maybe I've made a mistake when I chose the Kai Skills...

I've found a bug which prevents any progress. I was playing book 2, and I think I had just escaped from the Helghasts, and I clicked on the second tab on the right (in my case it was Kai Wisdom). At this point, I was stuck because the Section Text tab was greyed out (as was the Table of Contents tab on the left). I can look at my character details fine, but I'm stuck on the Kai Wisdom tab and can't continue.
I'll send you profile files and so on, but I thought it would be good to mention it here in case anyone else has the same problem.

In book 5, playing by the book I can access to the storage.

Some rather minor bugs: - Book 6: you can fulfill the meal requirements with Kai Hunting (which is OK) but the text actually says "...use Huntmastery discipline..."
- Book 6: after choosing Weaponmastery as one of the disciplines you can start adventure without picking which weapons you are proficient with (though you can still choose those later during adventure)
- In books 2,3,4,6 the rectangle when using 'area aiming' is wrongly displayed (bigger and doesn't match RNT grid)
I run SS on Windows Vista, in the window mode (my standard resolution is 1280x800, resolution in SS is set to 800x600 for window mode and 1280x800 for full-screen mode).

I'll send you profile files and so on, but I thought it would be good to mention it here in case anyone else has the same problem. I'm looking into it. Thanks for sending the replays. In book 5, playing by the book I can access to the storage. Not a bug. If you read the decription on the Equipment page it explicitly states under the section "How to Use your Equipment" and the subheading "Special Items": Before you begin Shadow on the Sand, you may choose to leave any or all of these items in 'safekeeping' at your Kai Monastery in Sommerlund. Special Items in 'safekeeping' cannot be used, but neither can they be lost during your adventure. Some rather minor bugs: - Book 6: you can fulfill the meal requirements with Kai Hunting (which is OK) but the text actually says "...use Huntmastery discipline..."
- Book 6: after choosing Weaponmastery as one of the disciplines you can start adventure without picking which weapons you are proficient with (though you can still choose those later during adventure)
- In books 2,3,4,6 the rectangle when using 'area aiming' is wrongly displayed (bigger and doesn't match RNT grid)
I run SS on Windows Vista, in the window mode (my standard resolution is 1280x800, resolution in SS is set to 800x600 for window mode and 1280x800 for full-screen mode). 1) Ahh, I'll make sure the description of which Discipline is being used really matches. 2) I have not thought of an easy way to enforce that they pick the weapons before beginning. I'll give it some thought, though, as I agree with you that this is not desirable. 3) I've seen it, too, once. And I couldn't get it to happen again. I'll look into it further. Cold you tell me if it happens to you in both Windowed and fullscreen modes? and it ONLY happens in books 2,3,4, & 6? That may just be coincidence... Thanks everyone!

Actually, It's buggier than that. You should only be allowed to use Hunting if you are gaining the "Loyalty" bonus. It doesn't seem to currently check for that. Plus, I need to incorporate some way of knowing whether Huntmastery is needed for the No Meal optin (since Hunting cannot be used in areas or wasteland or desert.)... Definitely not a critical bug, but thanks for making me aware of it.

Considering the graphic rectangle thing: Strange thing happened. It worked OK in book 4 in window mode. Then I tried full-screen mode and it was also fine. But then I switched back to window mode and it became broken (for both modes). So I'll have to play around with it some more and I'll report when I'm sure what conditions are to be met to reproduce the bug.
Weaponmastery: Maybe a 'window' can pop up when one chooses that discipline where you have to tick the choices? (Though there'd be probably problem with adding next weapon in following books.)
Hunting vs. Huntmastery: From the top of my mind, except for Book 11 (Daziarn) & 12 (Darklands wasteland), there are not many places where basic Hunting shouldn't work, so maybe a check for loyalty bonus could suffice? (at least for now)
EDIT: As you've said - all of the above is in no way critical, so maybe it could be left as is. In fact, I can't think of any commercial product where authors would gather complaints of their product's users and react immediately (5 released updates in a week is just crazy).

Well, I've fixed the Hunting/Huntmastery eating options, so you can only use Hunting in the Magnakai series if you have completed the Kai series (and have Hunting, AND it's not an area of wasteland or desert). It also displays the correct Discipline being used. Now the code's in place for the Grandmaster series as well, once we get there. (And thanks for the tip about books 11 & 12)
That makes me want to double check on all of the Loyalty bonuses... that they are handled correctly. (EDIT: I checked. The rest are just fine.)
----
The rectangle thing is completely random. I'll double check exactly when that box gets initialized; perhaps it's something that is happening too soon... so it's reading a variable that gets changed later. I'll look into it for sure.
