| Summary | 0000311: Sometimes the battle log records an action of the enemy before some of my moves, even though the enemy would move after me. | ||||||||
| Description | I've noticed it with different armies, on different maps. And sometimes with the same saved game it occurs or not. So no specific pattern. When it happens though, it's only in cases when the AI will move just after our move. Here is an example. While on the battlefield we have the following sequence of events: - Friendly creatures shoots enemy - Enemy turn comes and shoots friendly war machine The battle log may show the events in this order: - Enemy creature shoots war machine - War machine takes xx damage - Friendly creature shoots enemy - Enemy creature takes xx damage I believe it's because AI not only starts thinking of their next move during our turn, but if the movement animation of our attacking creature didn't end for example, the log already registers enemy's turn, before ours ends and gets registered. And I suspect this may be related to the crash we get when the enemy creature is killed in retaliation. | ||||||||
| Additional Information | I believe this must be related to some of the battle crashes (and other issues) reported previously. It's not always reproducible, so you just have to play several battles paying attention to the battle log chronology. If I'm not mistaken, the battle log is also not fully recorded in the client log, so I guess there's no reason to add that in attachment. | ||||||||

Currently info about attack is printed when animation of defense ends, so it could occur when a creature with shorter animation is attacked after creature with longer animation. What event this messages should be bound to? |

I suppose that animations should be bound to actions, not the opposite :P |

Animations cannot be bound to anything... when creature A attacks creature B server makes all actions (attack, defense, counterattack) simultaneously. While displaying animation we cheat player that this takes place over time, but actually everything happens before anything is shown. Anyway, bounding log messages to things visible by player seems to be more reasonable because it's just for player. |

Well, most probably related to that (and I wonder if it wasn't already reported), we also have stack sizes updated (as in reduced) before the actual hit. If AI has several moves on a row, we even have a stack size going down 4-5 moves (of different creatures), before the stack actually receives the hit. |

Looks like this has been fixed in 0.84, possibly together with 0000136 & 0000185. It's not perfect yet, in the sense that the updates are not real time (following each action), but following a set of actions. So we end sometimes with a 4 rows update in the log, with the last 2 visible (so we need to scroll back up to see the previous)... but that's another bug, less annoying than the one reported here. |
