Light a torch, it disappears?

Post by Leaf »

Brought up by another player today on crossfire.metalforge.net

Light a torch, it disappears.

Testing now to see if the lit torch still gives off light, if I still see a message about the torching burning out, etc.

Anyone else encounter or notice this?

If so, do you recall when this first showed up?

There was a bug with torches up until recently, the test to see whether something was lightable tested for a negative glow radius, which the recent lighting changes broke.

Does metalforge currently have version 1.110 of server/attack.c (13 days ago) and archetypes collected since then? Issues with torches should've been fixed then.

Yes... that bug was introduced at the same time as the circular lighting (which also allowed negetive glow radiuses to create an area of darkness)...
and to add to what cavehippo said, the archetypes were recollected in cvs as of Aug 19, so the uptodate cvs collection would also include that
