Again, may have been done before, but I don't see the thread.

If you find any bugs in the newest update of FPA, post them here, then hopefully if Brad needs to fix something he can just look here

So, I'll start us off with 2 bugs:

#1: On the level 4 to 5 transitional level, if you go to one of the edges of a wall and hang there, and you press down as soon as a moving platform comes at your height, it will stop completely and you will be left hanging there, and then the rest of the platforms come in 2's. Pressing another key will stop this.

#2: If you see Brad's snailshell golf guide video, and you see how to get the level 3 hole, you have to get it onto a small platform next to one of the hills, then kick it up. If you kick the snailshell onto the small platform with not much power, or a low jump, if you hget it at the right angle, the snailshell lands on the platform, jerks around for a second or two, then slides through the platform like it's made of butter.

Screenshot: You don't need one, it happens too quickly and it's pretty easy to do it.

So yeah, this'll be useful I hope.

Spiders disappearing if you stun them and they fall out of sight? It annoys me, when i'm trying to get them to cool places. Though, it would perhaps require too much memory to fix it.

Erm... that is there for a reason. Once they're dead, they disappear off the screen to reduce lag as they are no longer needed, I think.

I noticed the platform bug before, but in the other transitional-platform level.
Brad fixed that one though.

Glad you made this. Now Brad only has to go through one thread to find this stuff. But he's probably not gonna release any more updates.

I posted this on a nother thread:

I'm not talking about disappearing off-screen when they die. I'm talking about when you stun them, and they fall to a lower part of the level. If you jump after and fall fast enough to keep them in-screen, they will just be stunned. If you fail, then they will be completely gone.

Aaaah, I see.

That annoys me too

Spiders are too hard to control to get in hard spots, cuz if you hit them again they disappear, falling or not. But think about this: if every spider was constantly activated, the game would lag horribly, even more than it does now, since there are so many different sprites and codes running at once. I don't really see the harm in having spiders disappear, since they would only suprise you and slow you down later.

And I couldn't get that transitional level bug, did it only happen once or do you know exactly how to cause it?

actually, if you hold down, the spiders & gunrats die as if in W1!
same with jump except they work like a springboard or cannon.

Yes, i know. That is not the problem. The problem is that i DON'T what them to die when i stun-jump on them and they fall out of sight. Since they fall faster than i fall, it's pretty often i jump a spider down a hole, then i go after, and when i come down it isn't there. See?

On the last level in world 2 i was trying to get the pink pants and when i had the snail shell on the ramps, sometimes when hit would hit the wall and the ground (the corner) at the same time it would just fall through it.

Thats odd. Brad said he fixed the fall-through bugs.

I don't think we'll see the day when all bugs are fixed. From what I've heard, that snailshell is a tricky thing to code.
