I don't know if this is my favorite game glitch, or if it was even a glitch at all, but I had something odd happen once while I was playing Earthbound. It happened probably 15 or more years ago so I've forgotten a lot of details and Google hasn't helped, so I figure I'd ask about it here to see if anyone else experienced it or knows what I'm talking about and can finally solve this mystery for me. This is what I remember as best I can piece it together. Somehow I wound up taking the bus to Threed before rescuing Paula from the Happy Happy cult. I recruited Jeff, then took the bus back to Twoson and did Paula's rescue sequence. I took the bus back to Threed and did a couple more things (I can't remember what though) before deciding to save and turn the game off for the night. After saving, the game played the sound that happens whenever something mysterious and spooky is afoot (https://youtu.be/uQLvHUDEYOA). I thought that was really weird but didn't think much else of it. When I turned the game on the next day, all of my save files were erased. I know for a fact my copy of Earthbound isn't a bootleg, and I figure I didn't trip the copy protection since I didn't get impossible hoards of enemies filling the screen. So what gives?

You probably saved in the hotel where Ness and Paula get kidnapped. My guess is that the memory used by the phone is used for something else during that sequence. Since you did things out of order, that sequence was likely still active in the background, got triggered by using the save, and did something that interrupted the save before the checksum got written.

I'm not aware of Earthbound having anti cheating measures, so the phone I saved on being tied to something else seems the more likely explanation. I don't know a lot about how games actually work though, so I'm not sure. I also know I didn't really do anything to "break" the game. I just thought "hey I wonder if I can go get Jeff first" and it turns out I could. I just don't remember what the actual method was. I need to hook my SNES up and see if I can replicate it. I probably wouldn't even remember any of it happening if not for the sound effect in conjunction with losing all my saves making it seem purposeful.

I probably wouldn't even remember any of it happening if not for the sound effect in conjunction with losing all my saves making it seem purposeful. Not sure about anti-cheat, but it has anti-piracy measures that sound similar to what happened with you: quote:...the game will check to see if the part of the cartridge that holds save files has less than 8KB of SRAM, since bootleg copies usually have more. If it does, the game will display an anti-piracy screen and then freeze. If the game is hacked to pass this screen, the game will display many more random enemies in an attempt to make the game less enjoyable, sometimes even adding enemies which normally don't appear in an area. Additionally, entering certain areas, such as the Twoson-Threed tunnel, will freeze the game. If the player manages to make it through this much harder version of the game, during the final boss fight with Giygas, the game will freeze and force the player to reset. When the player does, they will find that their save files have been completely deleted. Maybe some weird interaction is causing the anti-piracy to trigger and delete all your saves even though it's well before the final boss.

The Earthbound copy-protection can trigger on its own on a legitimate copy for reasons I'm not fully sure of; I encountered it a couple of times myself on a legitimate, store-bought copy back when I was a kid. The game becomes unrelentingly difficult, random encounters become increasingly overwhelming in number, and it's a complete SLOG trying to get through some areas in this state (Magicant in particular comes to mind). Then the game freezes sometime during the Giygas sequence and deletes your savefiles. Whoopsie-doodle~! ...I like Earthbound, but man, it really isn't trying to make that easy. I had also beaten the game on that same cartridge without difficulty before and after encountering those problems, and didn't learn about the copy-protection weirdness until years later.

I've been playing Morroblivion (the fan-made remake of Morrowind in the Oblivion engine), and this of course means it has all the glitches of the Oblivion engine, plus new, exciting glitches born of the pile of terrifying hacks needed to get some Morrowind game behaviours working in that engine. A lot of this is fairly boring (conversation topics not showing up when they should, Havok freaking out and launching silverware around the room, etc), but I ran into something really weird the other day. Sadly I did not think to get it on video. The scene: the South Wall Cornerclub, Balmora. I need to steal something from one of the patrons there. Fortunately, she likes to hang out in the infrequently-trafficked upper hallways rather than the crowded downstairs common room, and I have a recently acquired Ring of Chameleon, which lets me temporarily buff my stealth -- I should be able to wait until she's alone, then sneak up on her and pickpocket the book. The time is ripe. I walk past her, exchanging greetings, then turn around, slip the ring onto my finger, and activate it. I become blurred and indistinct. And also, for some reason, irresistably interesting to everyone in the building. My target immediately turns around and walks up to me to stare at my face, but a few seconds behind her comes the entire population of the cornerclub, stampeding up the staircase to get a closer look at me. Before long I'm completely surrounded by NPCs and unable to move. At this point I'm hoping they lose interest in me once the spell wears off, because there's no way I can fight the entire population of the South Wall, and even if I could it would break a bunch of quests I want to do, and it's been a while since I saved. I never got to find out, though. See, Oblivion tries to keep NPCs in adjacent maps active, if it can. Sometimes this is useful -- if you get into a fight in the Vivec Underworks, you'll often find the guards patrolling the Canalworks, a single map transition away, coming to your aid. More often, it's just annoying, since it means you can no longer reliably escape pursuit by running through a door. In this case, it means that passing NPCs in the streets of Balmora were affected by my aura of fascination as well. Suddenly, more people are entering through the doorway to the street. The hall is now completely choked with NPCs. And apparently, some of these newcomers have a beef with the membership of the South Wall, because one of them suddenly starts beating one of the regulars into unconsciousness with her lantern. He fights back with his fists. A swing goes wild and connects with another NPC, who joins the fight. The hall of "everyone stares at ToxicFrog in an unnerving manner" is now Balmora Thunderdome. The chaos escalates rapidly. In less than a minute, at least two people are down -- unconscious or dead -- a third has turned invisible, and someone else is on fire. It's looking like I'll have to fight my way out after all, unless I can lock myself in the upstairs bedroom and hide until the carnage is over. Just then, however, Oblivion.exe solves the problem the only way it knows how: it crashes to desktop. If this happens again I'll try to at least get screenshots, but I think I may be avoiding the Chameleon spell from now on. ToxicFrog has a new favorite as of 00:54 on Mar 5, 2020 |

Use it to lead a cavalcade of guards into dungeons to clear out the monsters for you, like some kind of lovely self-serving pied piper. Combine with levitation to cause slavers to walk into pools of lava. See if you can make Vivec contract Corprus. Recognize the laws that shape your reality and bend them to your liking. Attain CHIM.

What happens if you obtain a suit of passive total 100% Chamelon gear and equip it far enough away from anybody to prevent this form happening and then head to town?

Zereth posted:What happens if you obtain a suit of passive total 100% Chamelon gear and equip it far enough away from anybody to prevent this form happening and then head to town? In vanilla Oblivion (or Morrowind, IIRC), doing that makes you completely invisible. You can still fail at pickpocketing, but NPCs won't be able to see you to talk or fight with you, will flee in terror if you attack them and will be confused and angry if you try to talk to them. In effect it works like Invisibility except that it doesn't wear off when you interact with the world. It is one of several ways to absolutely break the poo poo out of the game. With Supreme Magicka installed (which I have), it works a bit differently: chameleon is capped at 95%, but going above 100% gives you a layer of invisibility on top of that -- so you're completely invisible until you interact with something, at which point the invisibility shuts off for a few seconds and enemies get to roll vs. chameleon to notice you. This of course assumes that what makes me fascinating to NPCs is casting Chameleon, not the chameleon status effect itself; if it's the latter, the answer is "as I enter the town, I am immediately trampled by a deluge of NPCs, then the game crashes".

I would totally love a game that actually takes being invisible but being able to interact with the world in account properly. Someone should totally be able to feel you pickpocket them, but if they turn around and nobody's there, they should get suspicious and start asking nervously if someone's there. If someone else is there, they should blame that other person. If you pick up a piece of pottery in front of someone, they should freak the gently caress out.

Chameleon makes you better than invisible. Invisibility still has flaws - for example, going invisible after an enemy is already in combat with you will not actually make them lose track of you or cease to attack. 100% Chameleon, on the other hand, basically makes you a non-entity to the NPCs. You can punch a guy in the face and not only will he not hit back, he'll often not even go into an alarm state. Just "Oof! So how about them mudcrabs." As far as the AI is concerned, it means you simply do not exist. I think there is even a handful of opportunities where it can straight-up prevent quest scripting from firing, so it breaks the game in more than one way.

My favourite little glitch is when you go slightly too fast and the game needs to load, so freezes everyone in place, but doesn't bother freezing little things like hair physics so it looks like everyone decided to play freeze tag or something.

This reminds me of my strategy for most racing games which is: full speed into turns, slam into the AI cars trying to actually corner, bounce off them and end up ahead. I tried this strategy while driving very fast go-carts and it did not work.
