[playability] bowyery, smithery&woodsman 'bug'

Post by Mith »

Me again...

I have a helmet of might +2, but want one +5... so once i found the recipe i need, i tried to collect all the ingredients.

Now i have almost all, only a potion of might is missing. even weeks of searching every shop and every treasure chest didnt help me.

What's wrong? It seems there is no such thing as 'potion of might', so that needed some further investigation...

Code: Select all

wim@worker:/usr/share/games/crossfire$ grep 'potion of' archetypes 
name potion of charisma         
name potion of fire resistance  
name potion of lava resistance  
name potion of constitution     
name potion of dexterity        
name potion of cold resistance  
name potion of frost resistance 
name potion of heroism          
name potion of intelligence     
name potion of invulnerability  
name potion of aethereality     
name potion of power            
name potion of life             
name potion of strength
name potion of wisdom
so far so good... no mention of a potion of might.

same result for other server files, except the formulae file...

for i have a limited knowledge of the server internals, i dont know all possibilities, but

Code: Select all

wim@worker:/usr/share/games/crossfire$ grep -R 'potion' * | grep 'might'
only returns the formula file, while for example

Code: Select all

wim@worker:/usr/share/games/crossfire$ grep -R 'potion' * | grep 'heroism'

also returns the archetypes file, some map files and the treasures file.

if i grep trough the formulae file, i find 4 different recipes that require the - afaik - not longer existing potion of might.
those formulae are:
- plate mail of power
- full helmet of might
- bow of auriga
- mushroom of strength

edit: added the four formulae

I know of two places to look for game objects : archetypes and artifacts.
Looked in both, grepped all server directory for 'might' and looked for signs of a potion there, no luck either.
Here is the output of varios potions from artifacts file:

Code: Select all

grep -iC 2 'potion' artifacts |grep -i 'object'

Code: Select all

Object firestorm
Object great firestorm
Object black fire
Object fiery destruction
Object sunfire
Object freezing
Object fire
Object electric shock
Object noxious fumes
Object lasting shock
Object Rainbow Wave
Object cure vision
Object cure poison
Object cure madness
Object cure disease
Object resist confusion
Object resist magic
Object resist draining
Object resist paralysis
Object resist poison
Object resist slow
Object shock resistance
Object magic resistance
Object strength
Object agility
Object fortitude
Object self knowledge
Object mystic power
Object speed
Object recuperation
I think that combining this output with Mith's should give a complete list of all potions in the game. However potion of might, which led to this investigation, is not amongst them.

Did I miss some file out ? Or is the potion missing ? :P
