Glitches discovered - how to handle?
3 days ago
Lanark, Scotland

Dear Community,

a new submission has been made by @mostly_unrelated in the 100% category, with a record shattering time of 30:39

It does contain glitches at video timestamps 3:22 and 21:40, so congrats on discovering those. Kindly provide a documentation in the Guides section.

The run does not violate any rules, so will be approved after the documentation.

This might be a legitimate reason to split the board though, and I'd like to hear your thoughts.

If the glitches cannot be replicated on every console (that has had runs submitted) the boards must split, as otherwise systems that have the glitch would get an advantage.

The run is labelled as MS-DOS emulator, so I presume that means dosbox.

When the documentation is made, I would kindly ask @MilkToast to test it on Amiga, and @yett2000 to test it on ScummVM Floppy

Hi, the run was done on EGA Floppy version with ScummVM, didn't test it on other versions.

The glitch at 3:22 is the following: when the skeleton appears from the coffin, you can hold SPACE to avoid the damage from it. This would constantly switch between gobliiins and I guess the switch takes precedence over the damage trigger. You can also spam-click pickup action on an empty spot with Oups to skip the damage, but I am not sure if it's faster.

At 21:40 what happens is I leave Ignatius on the dragon spot to save a bit of time by taking damage, i.e. normally you would move him away, but I switch to Oups immediately to pick up the seeds. The glitch here is purely visual, I guess it happens because the game needs to play animation for a certain gobliiin, but another gobliiin is selected. This provides no benefit by itself, just looks kind of funny I guess.

I also do spam-clicking to speed up the movement, but this was already mentioned before I think.

I'll add the first one to guides, not sure if the second one should be.

Regarding splitting, I do not have much experience with this kind of stuff, so I'm ok either way I guess :)
