Niggling problems remaining in new Codex - also for identifying possible bugs

[Pink Eye]

Copy pasting steam update log to Codex breaks the entire quote. This was definitely NOT the case on old codex. Here's an example. This is an update log from one of my favorite games: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1233530/view/3296095971068770614

Okay. Now I'm going to copy the contents and paste it here as I usually do, but instead of getting normal text. I got this:

Spoiler

Hello everyone!
This is a much-needed
bug-fixing update
for
KotC 2
, because the recent updates introduced a number of bugs in the game. My sincere apologies for that!

Special Thanks to
Angry Lux
and
Atoch
for all the very helpful bug reports!

If you find any bugs, please drop me a line at
enquiries@heroicfantasygames.com
so that I can fix the game quickly. A saved game would be very useful, too. Thank you!!

Here is the link of the latest
Kickstarter update
for those who may have missed it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1848628223/knights-of-the-chalice-2-revolutionise-old-school-crpgs/posts/3617662

List of changes in Knights of the Chalice 2 Version 1.48

• The
  list of party members
  in the top-right corner of the screen will now adjust the font size of the character names when they don't fit in the box space using the initial font size.
• Added some code to
  accelerate gameplay
  in combat.
• Fixed a bug with
  auto-cast spells and psionic powers
  incorrectly getting activated when loading a game.
• Fixed a source of crashes that would occur after
  changing the name of a party member
  .
• Fixed a source of crashes when using
  Dispel Magic (Single Effect)
  or
  Greater Dispel Magic (Single Effect)
  .
• Fixed a source of crashes when certain casters are
  running out of spells
  .
• Fixed a source of crashes when
  summoning creatures
  like the Tentacled Horror. That was due to the game sometimes creating new items (like a new magic scroll) to give to the newly-created creatures, and some code was missing to handle the effect of that change on the memory.
• Fixed a bug with
  summoned creatures
  and the
  Creature Wizard
  which was due to the
  mislabelling of 'Major Fire Ring'
  (and other energy-protection rings) as 'Medium Fire Ring' in the code.
• Fixed a bug with the game not allowing the player to manifest certain psionic powers (such as Energy Absorption) using the
  base Power Point expense
  .
• Fixed a bug with the game not allowing a
  Monk
  to perform his or her
  additional Flurry attacks
  after defeating one or two enemies.
• Fixed the token of the
  Fire Elemental
  summoned by the spell
  Summon Gargantuan Elemental (Fire)
  .
• Fixed a display issue with the spells
  Babau Slime
  and
  Barkskin
  when cast by enemies.
• The Psychic Warrior feat
  Superior Psychometabolism
  will now improve the power
  Evade Burst
  from Move Action to Free Action.
• In the Effects & Conditions tab of the Character Sheet, improved the display of
  'Oversized Weapon Penalties'
  .
• The game will no longer offer the
  'Rapid Shot'
  option when your character is
  Slowed
  or acting during a
  Surprise Round
  .
• Corrected the help entry for the feat
  Greater Control and Dominate
  (added the missing feat prerequisite).
• Added a link to the feat
  Improved Firefly Familiar
  near the description of the
  Firefly familiar
  .
• Sleeping arrows
  will now make the target
  Prone
  (not just Sleeping) if the target isn't already Prone.
• Receiving a sleep effect from spells such as
  Sleep
  and
  Deep Slumber
  will apply the condition
  Prone
  only if you're not already prone.

Thank You For Your Steadfast Support, Legendary Defenders of the Realm! Enjoy!!

It's broken...

Search function appears to be bugged out for me:

I'm trying to search for something I said a long time ago and I can't see the whole box thingy, and after I type the words. It doesn't let me type member parameter so I can get results from myself. I'm using Firefox btw zoomed in at 120%. Resolution is at 1920 x1080 with scaling at 125%:

Works for me on 175%.

Not sure if this is the right place for it, but shoutbox and tagging related.

Upon clicking on it :

Receiving alert from part of forum you don't have access to is pretty weird.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Unless I'm missing something, seems like the various font options that we previously had also didn't make the update (not that they were that useful outside of having aesthetic signatures, but still).

Don't find buttons either, but BB code works:

Arial
Curlz MT
Courier new
Impact
Vivaldi

using:

[FONT=Vivaldi]Vivaldi[/FONT]

This is working as intended, even if it's a bit odd to receive a notification about something you can't view. However, there do seem to be scattered reports of alerts not functioning properly at present (the last two times someone has tagged me, that I know of, no alert has been sent). Which is quite odd, since the alert system had been functioning properly. Obviously fixed now. Actually, the alerts are down yet again, so I'm adding this to the list.

I just noticed a forum-breaking issue with button ratings.

The regular parrot is bigger than the top hat + monocled parrot. I'm boiling at the disrespect of natural hierarchy.

If anything, the prestigious parrot should be taller on account of his hat. Like the smilies:

Yes, the prestigious parrot rating seems to have been scaled down to approximately the same height as the regular parrot rating, but of course with the top hat this means the prestigious parrot itself becomes smaller when it should be the same size.

Twiglard , pasting text in comments is broken (the text doesn't appear in the textarea) when the comment is in html mode.

Importing media adds the media tags at the beginning of the textarea, not at the cursor position.

@Twiglard , pasting text in comments is broken (the text doesn't appear in the textarea) when the comment is in html mode.

Can't reproduce it, pasting articles generally works. If a particular site is badly formatted, switch temporarily to non-WISYWIG mode while pasting.

Hm, can you try it on Android Chrome? Even plain text from a text editor isn't pasted in the html editor.

It works on Android Firefox, even pastes hyperlinks. It most likely works on an average Android Chrome setup as well.

Strange. It seems to happen with copying from Forbes, but not CNN for example. And it's not some javascript on their side that's copy-preventing, because I can paste the text in the plaintext editor.

Well, what can I do? I don't maintain the Froala editor. Unless you have some very specific and actionable diagnostic info, I can't do anything.

I wasn't saying you should. Just noting that it seems to be isolated to that site. And I still haven't tried it on a desktop browser.

 

[Twiglard]

I wasn't saying you should.

I should rephrase that -- some things are hard to fix. Hacking on minified .js or diagnosing mobile-only .js problems is like that.

And here I thought I was giving "valuable feedback" which is "appreciated"...

 

[Alex]

I've noticed a strange behaviour with the alerts. It seems that if someone quotes a message that originally quoted you, you will get an alert about it, even if the quoting user edited your original message out of it. I think this didn't work like this before. Perhaps, the ideal would be to just alert the one who was quoted, leaving other parts of the pyramid alone, whether they are kept or not?

Also, it could be noted that you get a new alert for every rating you might get on a post. Before, we wouldn't get more alerts until we checked the said post, which I think is a better behaviour.

 

[Peachcurl]

I'd be perfectly fine if the shitty wysiwyg editor mode was removed. But only if the bb code editor was fixed, because there's no reason whatsoever that the formatting buttons don't work for the bb code editor.

 

[Boleskine]

Not a bug but here's me looking for smilies when writing a post on desktop.

I wholeheartedly concur, but this has already been posted:
18. Smilies button drop-down menu - Greatly expand this drop-down menu horizontally, while also enlarging the images (less of a size reduction) so that they are easier to examine and select --- Zed Duke of Banville

See also:

Seriously though, the current system is vastly superior to having to scroll through walls of oversized images every time when fishing for one. Anyone who needs to see bigger versions can click them into their posts, look at them in full size, remember them and delete them, never having to wade through piles of full size images in the dropdown unnecessarily again.

It does seem to me that usage of the Codex's stock smilies has plummeted since the transition.

 

[Ismaul]

Speaking of smilies, gimme buttons as smilies plz.

Hmmm... If I click on the tag links in this thread: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/celebrating-20-years-of-rpg-news.145000/#post-8192127

It comes up as, "about:blank#blocked". Anyone else get that?

Twiglard?

Also, if I look at any image in the galley: https://rpgcodex.net/gallery.php?image=14953

The image doesn't load. If I right-click where the image should be and open link in new tab, I get: https://rpgcodex.net/https://rpgcodex.net/gallery/14953.jpg

If I remove the double rpgcodex it works fine.

when I copy a tag link from the page it copies this to my clipboard:

could be the issue?
