I though instead of their being 1092390 different bug threads, that I would open a single one for everybody to submit their bugs/glitches/errors to, a lot like everybody was doing with the chat page before, except not limited by 140 characters :)

Mahjong Tower.
I guess it's not officially a bug, but the scoring system for this game is a little bit odd. The scores for each board are not cumulative, so if you want to get a highscore, you're better off losing quickly at the end of the first board (which has the most tiles, as far as I can tell) than continuing to play the smaller but harder boards.
Thanks for putting a "real" mahjong game in, though. They are one of my favourites! :D
-
I noticed that too, but I decided to just add it to the site anyways. In that, I think it's okay to have some games that are not so much about the points at the end, but the fun - like the Tower Defense games. I'll make sure to make a note about it though in the description, but also, work on getting some different Mahjong games - there's tons out there.
-
uuuggghhh
Your score was 2589900 for unknown game: magnettowers?restart=yes (magnettowers).
This game doesn't actually exist, what's going on?
UUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH
-
That seems to be quite the crippling flaw. Sorry for your loss :'(
I'll look into it.
-
I'll have to make it up to you by implementing badge/champion bonuses ;)
-
I guess that's a start 8)
-
Note: Champions of specific games will be granted 3 gold pieces every time somebody plays the game they are a champion of (including themselves)
-
Woo hoo! :D

BROKEN

-
Oh wait you fixed it. Nevermind...
The new logo is cute! That poor house is about to get taken out, though.
Which reminds me... What is the kokaro? (The green thing)... Is he, like, level 1 slime from every RPG ever?
-
Hehe, yep you caught me in the process. The imagery will eventually have a larger picture (pun!) in everything, like the village, all kind of using the same aesthetic.
About the Kokaro mascot, the slime (or blob in some RPGs), you are absolutely correct - I think I was originally thinking Dragon Warrior (NES) but more stylized. You should also see him play a more important part as well coming up.
-
Er...the bar at the top is a bit...overloaded since you added Site Feed. Site Feed and Forum do not exactly fit on the bar anymore, it loops around and displays on two floating squares (see here (http://i49.tinypic.com/30jiolj.png)). It's entirely a design flaw, have tried it out in everything from IE to Safari and it's still problematic.
-
Thanks for spotting that, seems to be a local font issue. Should be FIXED.
-
Apparently I'm banned? For getting a score on a game lower than the highest? (The bunny game, I got 13xsomething. Lower than Blackbird's second even, I think.)
There's something a little odd with the cheat detection. Maybe it's not taking into account the option to restart in-game?
(assuming I get unbanned, does this mean I can no long rightclick -> restart on things like Alu's revenge to save having to load the flash again?)
Otherwise... aw man. :(
-
That shouldn't effect anything, keeping in mind I made those changes a few days ago. By chance, was the site slow at the time and it took forever for your score to submit?
-
I don't remember it being too bad, but I couldn't really say. Some times are slower than others, but it wasn't like the LONGEST WAIT EVER or anything. I'm in the habit of clicking over to another window until I see the little green guy replace the loading favicon animation.
(Thanks for unbanning me! :D )
It took about four tries to get this thread to load though.
-
Got banned playing the bunny game as well, probably because I hit reset within the flash rather than resetting outside it. I do understand how setting it up so the in-Flash reset buttons to react to the anti-cheat mechanism would be horrendous to code (if not outright impossible), and will try to reset from the site itself every time from now on (though it is a pretty bad situation, since I got a score only 60 lower than Jacq's). There's a good reason for this, I actually sat down and timed it, and every session that gets a score at or around the current champion level is around 5 minutes; if two or three are hooked up in a row, bam, cheating time counter should theoretically be instantly broken.
Also, I concur with Jacq's observation here, the game doesn't automatically start loading the high score page, there's at least a 10 second delay and it's not entirely the site being slow...do look into this as well.
EDIT: Ooh, do like how the site and forum bannings are separate. Very nice!
-
Okay so I promise not to play the bunny game anymore. :(
Again, it happened when the score I was submitting was around the 13xxsomething range, but this time there was a distinctly long load time.
-
Yeah, it takes a distinctly longer time when sending those that would be banhammered, those that actually got sent took far less time.
I suggest we remove the bunny game from general access for a while until we get all the kinks worked out. We wouldn't want people getting banned for no real reason.
-
This leads me to believe there may be something wrong with that game in particular, something the way it loads or reset itself, or something. I'll set up some different environment variables to track down the issue.
-
Okay so I promise not to play ANY games for a while.
Magnet Towers. I timed out (didn't actually finish the game). The load time wasn't overwhelmingly long though.
Could it be on my end? I run the following addons:
Noscript, Adblock, Cdn spellcheck, Chatzilla.
-
Sorry Jacq, I didn't realize it happened again. You stumbled on it again before I could get home to fix/work on the issue. It should be good now (hopefully).
-
Thanks once again! I just can't stay away from here when there's homework to be done. :3
-
?
(http://i50.tinypic.com/6sdt04.png)
??
The person disappeared. I think it would have gone on forever.
-
SUPER HAX!
-
I already talked to you about this, but there is a danger in buying things from the market too close to the stock rotation.
-
I will have to brainstorm this issue.
-
So I was playing the bunny game (...yes. Again. Me and Jacq have a bit of a feud over it), and after getting a score of 49267 (which totally trumps Jacq's by 10000), I get this:
There was an error submitting the score for your game. This is usually caused by trying to play more than 1 game at a time, or opening multiple games at a time. To prevent cheating and prevent this error, please only play one game at a time. You played bunnyhopper but expected a score from babykicker.
Can't provide screen since I just sort of left it at that and decided I'd try again, but it did happen, and I was only playing bunnyhopper, I've not touched any other game at any other point. And going back to that score-submit page only starts bringing up other random unrelated games.
No idea what's going on here, but it may be a major problem.
EDIT: Also, just experienced Jacq's same problem with Border Blast. Seems to happen when there's lag, particularly when you switch to another tab/window while it is playing.
-
I hit the error blackbird mentioned above while playing Mahjong yesterday. the score was around 13-14k, iirc, which would have been #1. Missed out on the gold, but I'm not too bothered.
This is showing up on the main page for me, between the "check out some items!" and the forum feed:

-
The site seems to have picked up speed lately. Whatever you did, thanks!
Something really strange happened in the ball game:
http://i46.tinypic.com/x0rwvn.png
I may have broken it by pressing rightclick -> play to skip all the logo stuff at the beginning. I refreshed, and am trying to continue as normal, but the game may have that glitch recorded as my highscore and submit it.
It is does, ummm... I'm not a cheater, but you should get rid of that score. If it happens I'll clear my cookies and cache (*grumble grumble*)
-
Thanks to Jacq and Blackbird for their high amount of bug submissions, you have now been both given an aptly named special item :)
-
I woulda helped if the site wasn't so slow at the time :'(
-
Haha! Hoooray!
I will treasure my bugs forever. Thank you!
And thank you x2 for processing the refund from the market glitch.
-
The "wrong game" page gave me this;
"You played znax_CH but expected a score from znax."
I only point it out because it seems less a crossed-write than a typo?
-
My scores are not getting submitted for Bubble Trouble. The game screen goes grey, and my status bar says it's contacting Kokaro.com for a few moments, but then it changes to "done" without taking me to the score submitted screen.
-
Hmmm I couldn't replicate that one.
-
It happened twice, but the third time it went through. I will pay closer attention to see if there's anything else I can tell you. Thanks!
-
It seems to be happening every time I beat my highscore. :(
-
i was going to say that i have bugs in my underwear... but then i realized this was for bugs on kokaro...
-
Um...
Notice: SSI.php was unable to load a session! This may cause problems with logout and other functions - please make sure SSI.php is included before *anything* else in all your scripts! in /home/content/d/r/a/drath/html/items/forum/SSI.php on line 175
That pops up on the main page, logged on or not. Might be a sign that something rather...important is broken.
-
That means Kokaro is falling apart at the seams! Thanks for catching that. *Sews the website back together*
Are you still getting it?
-
ooohhh man... i was playing bubble struggle 2-rebubbled and the game kept going blank every time i got a highscore..
-
This game is on the chopping block methinks. There's been a lot of reported issues with it.
-
this is more of a complaint... but i played wacky ballz bouncing... (whatever it's called) and i played for like an hour upping my personal hi-score thinking that when i click submit it will submit my best buuuuuuut, it doesn't... it takes the most recent...
-
It must have balls that are too wacky for you. But really, that game is kind of strange too... ever notice how the first loaded game always has tons of bumpers at the start?
-
That "screen o' +10" only happens if you skip the loading screens. But after that first set it doesn't seem like there's any stars or bumpers afterwords = terrible score
ANYWAYS
Two bugs:
1. "Reserve for" seems to be breaking the Vendor items that aren't reserved for anyone.
2. Inventory Page is broken (http://i43.tinypic.com/2rcslfc.png). (sizzling rice is crustulios left on the bottom of the pot that Chinese vendors pass off as delicious food, btw)
3. Not actually a bug, but I swear the slot machine only has about 8-9 "sets" of items it cycles through on the hour. I've NEVER seen an OoT item in it.
-
Fixed and fixed. Thanks.
-
Not a bug, but there's a typo on the Slot Machine page. Should read "instinct".
-
New bug: Jacq is the Champion of Collapse. Impossible?
-
It was a total fluke, I think.
However, I will enjoy my trickling income until Scapegoat resets the scores. ;)
-
Bit of a problem with the Item Guess. Sometimes things from the Doom gun set will shot up (and I know it's Doom because sometimes the bloody BFG9000 shows up), and even though I input varying combinations of capitals to say "DOOM", "Doom" or "doom" (that being the game's 100% official title), I still get it wrong. Is this just me doing something completely backwards or is it really wrong on the database itself?
-
The unfortunate thing about Doom is all the various versions and console ports of Doom - this set in particular is from a fairly unique console port.
-
I just got a notification about this thread in my email inbox.
Bug or testing?
-
Sorry about that, I guess "Announcement" means email to users within SMF forums, rather than post outside the forums within the category listing.
-
Remember that time when I spent like 30 minutes on Boris getting like a super high score then the score didn't submit?
-
Haha yeah that was great.
That Bubble Game has issues with scores ~/over 300 too. Which is sad because I like it. :(
-
I'm having a weird problem with Boris:
(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/2461/croppercapture2u.png)
Almost always happens on the second level...
-
I'm not sure I can explain this well, but the shop seems to be, uh, not really that random.
Slot 1 is cycling through the Ocarina of Time items, slot three is cycling Ultima items, and slot two seems to be a little more random but with an overabundance of DK items.
It might just be chance, but that odds of having Worlds Finest eyedrops, fertile dirt, jester hat, a banana, and the swordfish token all showing up two days in a row is quite the coincidence.
But if the market format is changing soon then I guess it will be a moot point then!
(PS: I see what you did to enchanted items last night. I'm pretty sure they didn't do anything at the moment anyways)
-
Yes, my formula didn't exactly work as planned for that stuff; however, yes, soon it will be changing.
Sorry about the magics if you had any +2 or +3. To make up for this, all of them equal the effectiveness of a +2 anyways now. I did this as a start to implementing them to actually work, but also because the +1, +2, +3 is kind of convoluted especially with my other plans for upgrading items (for use with equipment/battle).
I thought about the naming now, it's kind of cool to have a "Virtuous Wooden Sword" or a "Bartering Bomb", but wouldn't it be cooler if it was "Wooden Sword of Virtue" or a "Bomb of Bartering"?
-
I dunno, I kinda like the adjectival version. "Virtuous Sword" sounds cooler than "Sword of Virtue" to me. But... "Wand of Wealth" sounds better. Hmmm. Either way works for me, really.
Anyways, if you go to the enchanter and "sort rarity", it breaks all the item management links.
Just call me bug-hunter Jacq 8)
-
And who knows about Prefixes? Sturdy Wooden Sword of Virtue +3, haha.
Thanks for bug, fixed.
-
How do I submit my score in the french arkanoid?
-
whoah whoah whoah
I clicked on a ghost coin to see if I had it, accidentally clicked "buy", and instead of telling me I was too poor, I now have -673 gold. I must have had a negative balance from the last item I bought without realizing it.
I already had a ghost coin, too. I wouldn't have been as careless if I had money. :<
-
For the french game, it looks like only easy-mode works for submission - will fix in a while.
As for your gold... how in the? I don't even understand how that's possible really. I'll checky. Was that in the marketplace or vendor house?
-
Fixed! Enjoy the free-ish items as your gold is now set at 0.
-
Wooohoo!
Aw man I should have cleaned the shop out ;)
-
Another Casse-Briques bug:
(http://i42.tinypic.com/2pr9r9l.jpg)
-
I noticed that if you get hit by a bomb/missle and also hit the ball at the same time, you will die, but the ball will simply bounce back and forth from left to right at an exact 180 degree angle, essentially breaking the game/needing a reset.
-
Another Casse-Briques bug:
(http://i42.tinypic.com/2pr9r9l.jpg)
Same bug, except in round 11. Probably because I shot the last brick with a laser and hit it with one of two multiballs at the same time.
-
(http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/9981/kokaroheyyyy.jpg)
OH BOY! Well, I may have lost this round but I am so getting a high score! Playing this game for like 2 hours was totally worth my time, as usual! :)

LOOK AT MY FFFUUUUU-ING BROWSER TABS, KOKARO!!! LOOOOK AAAATTTT THEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMM
Don't try telling me it's the Firefox script blocker, because Kokaro is "allowed", and it always worked okay previously.
(It was "Hotel general manager" by the way.)
-
Could it be because I was dicking around elsewhere on the site at the same time?
I hope not. :(
-
Wow... I don't know how you had the foresight to screenshot before submitting, but anyways... I have granted you your score. There is a timeout set as well that the error page doesn't talk about. I believe the timeout is 1 hour... I'll look into increasing this if I can (not sure about it though :( )
-
Hooray! Thanks!
I screenshotted at the end of the last few rounds, just in case something went wrong (with my internet, not Kokaro's) so I could show it to Jacq and bawwwwwwww about it. ;D I guess it stems from being a compulsive quicksaver in Half-Life 2. (Which I am quickly recovering from, I might add.)

PS: lolrecyclers
-
Haha, I guess that bonus calculation is done before the limit of 200. Just think about how much gold that would be normally without the limit. I can fixy.
-
I WANT TO BE RICH :D
-
Bubble Trouble 2: Rebubbled has some serious score submission problems. Regardless of what I send, it hangs on a grey screen for a few minutes, and eventually stops even attempting to send. I'll take a screenshot of my next score, but this should not be happening...
I can't even take screenshots, because my software isn't cooperating.
And I had just gotten a score of 600. ARGH.
-
Yeah I think that game's been hanging by a tread for a while.
It's sad it's got such problems since it's fun.
-
I found a bug: I enchanted AT LEAST OVER NINE THOUSAND items and haven't been successful. I'm pretty sure you bugged my account to be broken and I'd appreciate if you fix'd ktxbye.
-

I haven't been successful either...not even gold piles.
-
Noticed a fatal flaw in the Item Slot Machine where it wouldn't charge you the fee if you won gold or an item... besides that, I have also increased the price, but also increased the reward by the same amount... this is to compete with the new prices of rarity 4 and 5's which are available from the slot machine.
-
I think it's a bit terrible, considering you have just as much chance of getting a crummy item as a rare one.
-
There's got to be a way to balance the slot machine, eventually you'll get it I'm sure. But right now it's actually pretty terrible.
Sinking about 4k gold in, with no payout = lame, considering the chances of getting an R1 item are the same as an R5.
It kind of sucks because right now nobody really buys things from the vendor house (due to already having, iirc).
Again, I'm sure it will get balanced eventually. If the goal of the slot machine is to just be a money-pit, fine. But I'd even prefer it if you scrapped the money payout completely (since it's balls) and replaced it with something like a randomized R1 item. Then at least there's some incentive to sink the money in.
edit: The enchanter is showing what looks like the results of a dice roll. ex; "25 - the enchanment failed"
-
Jacq, you have made your point. I agree with you, I won't revert the bug fix, but I will bring the cost down again.
Also, the Seeker of the Rare issue with the Spread Gun Falcon denies any logic, I really can't figure it out. It's a randomized number, but keeps going to the Spread Gun Falcon - I've pulled me hair out looking at the code haha. That is next on my list though - how annoying!
-
Oh man, reading that over again, I've got to apologize. That came off much more grouchy than I anticipated. Sorry, bro.
(In my defense, I'm currently taking a bitch of a statistics course that's been stressing me out due to my 90% average = C grade, because of the curve... anyways)
Anyways, still not an excuse to take it out on you... But I would like to point out there's a Spread Gun Falcon sitting in the vendor house right now...if anyone wants to buy it... hahaha
-
It's set back to the 50GP per play.
-
There seems to be some bug that prevents me from ever winning the lottery. :)
As in, I have not ever won it.
-
Item Guess is like "You guessed the item name correctly!" and giving me gold for it when I get the game right even when I don't put anything in for the item name.
-

The item name is just a bonus, you just get more gold for getting it correct, but don't lose anything for not filling it in or getting it wrong. I should maybe make that more clear though. Thanks!

No, it's giving me the bonus even if I don't guess the item name and I only got the game name right.

Ah, very good catch! Thanks.

Oh sh.....
It's the missingno (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Missingno.) of Kokaro. Will fixy later.

I thought I had that one ...

ugh i was just playing animal connect also known as animal majong and i had a full time about to like beat the high score then it shut down and said times up....

I did a couple bug fixes not mentioned on the to-do:
I re-did some of the menus as on some browsers they were not showing up properly.
Magic items now show up properly (with proper color) in your profile.

The glitch will have these trees and a white screen you should wait 5 seconds or just click right side of mouse and click on play which Renegade commented.

Hey, this is Renegade. About two weeks ago I was playing Albatross Overlord (yeti sports game with the penguin and seagulls) and in between games I got an error screen saying the account has been banned. There didn't seem to be any problems with the game from what I could tell, but my account is now locked nonetheless. Could I get some help, please! Thank you!
-
That is too bad but is your account Renegade really banned?

You should of emailed when it happened. Unbanned.

Thanks Drath.
I did send an email when it happened, but I no longer use the email address I signed up with on this account so unfortunately I could not check it out. On a side note, is there anyway to change the email address linked to the account?
-
I'll have to do it manually, just shoot me an email from the contact page.

I was just playing Power Driver 2.0 and it has a bug a keep pressing right side of my mouse and accidently pressed loop but I press play mostly.

Hello, Dubstep here. I was banned for "cheating" while playing Spear toss. This is the second time it happened. I would email but I don't use my old email account anymore. Can you please figure out what this bug is and please fix it and maybe fix my banning. Thank you -Dubstep

Thanks :)

Hey Drath, when I'm looking for a game and I press the next game page button, sometimes nothing happens. The same thing happens when I reset a game. I don't know if it's the browser or the website but if you could fix this, that would be wonderful.Thank You-Kadenguy
-
Bumperjack: When I was playing Bumperjack, I got a really high score at around 46000 ish, and with almost 50 minutes to spare. Then, my game froze, preventing me from submitting the game.
-
Hey Drath,
I was going through my items today and noticed I was missing a blue balloon item from the DK set. I know it was in my inventory because I bought it from you, and I couldn't have accidentally destroyed at the enchanter because it's an R5 item.
Has anyone else had this issue before?
Thanks, and let me know.
