Weird Name bug
« on: August 16, 2013, 07:16:39 am »

Happening to both the CEO and president right now playing lcs_win32.4.07.3. Successfully persuading/dating both cause the crash in the 2nd picture. Multiple visits don't change the name. I can't fight the CEO. Trying to kill the president just results in an endless stream of dying messages - asks for a blanket, giggles uncontrollably, soils the floor, etc.

I don't know if this is related - but the CCS hasn't moved to a new location in > 6 months and publishing the list of backers hasn't caused them to respond.

Snowy has a hot date with Cthulhu, apparently. Evidently this just shows that you shouldn't date Great Old Ones.

I think its either a problem that occurred when the game downloaded for you, or it happens for everyone and you're just the first to notice, if its the second of the two I figure Foxxy used the same script as the CEO, and modified it to take the name as the president as he said, but that messed up the script so this happened. All you can do is avoid doing those things for awhile, and wait for Fox to have a looksee and tell us what he thinks.

I had the same bug in that version of the game (4.07.3 beta). It got fixed since then in revision 692 by jonathansfox and revision 693 by blomkvist, which fixed these various issues with the President of the United States and the Corporate CEO (who are both unique creatures, which is a relatively new feature to the game and thus more prone to bugs than features that have been in the game a long time). You can get a current SVN development version of the game here (it is not a beta or a release version, just a bleeding-edge development version). It is fixed in that. If you follow that link you'll want to click on "Get Snapshot" to get a .zip file. Then you go into the "trunk" directory and copy the "art" directory, the "init.txt" file, and then you can choose the "crimesquad.exe" file from the "workspaces\Release" directory or the "workspaces\Debug" directory, depending on your preference. The Debug version is slower and has a bigger file size, but if it crashes you can debug what went wrong. The Release version is faster and has a smaller file size, but doesn't work with debuggers. Since you probably won't be using a debugger the faster, smaller Release version would probably be the one you'd prefer. Oh yeah, and the "CrimeSquadManual.txt" file... it doesn't seem to be in the SourceForge project, but you can keep the version from the 4.07.3 beta download that you already have, it should be fairly accurate.
