"Go to another part of the series" glitch

Post by RashFaustinho »

When you end a trial and go straight to another one using the "Go to another part of the series" command, the game starts the next trial right away without waiting that everything is properly loaded.

For example... I make case 1. At the end of case 1, the player is redirected to case 2.
The game should wait for case 2's sprites and sounds to load, but instead, it starts right away, without giving me the chance to wait that everything is properly loaded.

How can i fix this? It's very annoying, especially when you use timed frames with custom music during your cases.

I'm using Firefox. Windows 7.

Confirmed.

I'll try to get this fixed. My best guess is that this is an unintended side effect of PR#29.

If it can help, a similar issue was presented here:

And was seemingly fixed, too.

Thanks.

On the technical side, you're referring to this commit.

EDIT: Commenting out the line in question did not fix the problem. I'm now verifying that this bug was introduced after the June 2015 release.
EDIT: Confirmed that things were working fine as of fb00caf in Sept. 2015. Much earlier than that, and the mockup is unreliable. It isn't clear what could cause this if commenting the line from PR#29 didn't fix it, but this at least bounds the suspect code.
EDIT: Further investigation revealed the architecture change Unas did as the cause. When the player is initialized, save data is now loaded immediately. When save data is loaded, it automatically takes the case to the intended target frame. Combined, these mean that the click button is now bypassed.

Okay, I've determined the cause and fixed it on my mockup of AAO!

I've submitted my fix here. Hopefully, this will be accepted and pushed onto the site soon.

Now it says it's "merged". So it should be fixed now?

Probably not. "Merged" just means that Unas accepted it to go on the site the next time he updates it. He hasn't updated it yet, I'm afraid.

I see. I hope it's ASAP, because right now my splitted trials are near unplayable due to some custom content that has to be loaded before starting.

Anyway, thanks for all the help you're giving me!
