Wooden plates and bucklers not working?

Post by sandwichpolice » Sat Sep 01, 2012 4:40 am

I have recently installed Overgrowth 191 and I can only find the wooden plates in the O2 menu,but they don't work. And the buckler in the items menu is way too big. Does anybody else have this problem? It annoys me. I have tried to open the Load External object menu,but it completely crashes the game.

Protip: Provide an error log (as a means of analysis, if you will) - better even, paste it onto here: http://pastebin.ca/ and post your link.

Or, if you're running Linux, run gdb over it.

Sadly,I can't provide an error log,because my computer (mac) doesn't quit the program on its own. I have to force quit it,and it doesn't give me an error log. :|

Hm. Have you tried running it through a terminal in windowed mode? OS X is *nix with limitations, so you shouldn't have trouble working that out :P

I haven't tried that,but I installed last's object menu mod,so I'll try both. Although I'm a bit of a noob,and I don't know how to install the mod. :(

EDIT: I just replaced overgrowths UI with last's menu mod UI. Was I supposed to do that?
EDIT 2:God dangit,I did it wrong. Re-installing overgrowth.

Tip of the day. There are 2 types of objects. there are static objects that you can use to crate your levels and there are items that are effected by physics and you can carry them around.
This tip goes for bout weapons and items.

I've gotten the wooden plates and bags working,because I needed to be in windowed. But I can't find the buckler in the gear section.

Are you sure you are loading them from the Gear in O2, where it says "You can use these" or something?

The other ones in O2 are unusable props...
Also, i don't think Bucklers are usable yet, that's why they are only in props, not in usable Gear.

I am having the exact same problem, its so annoying i really wanted to use this.

If the attachment system wasn´t for mac, why didn´t the developer say so, i Wouldn´t have bought it otherwise.

I'm not really up-to-date on this issue, but are you sure it's a Mac-specific problem? I haven't heard that mentioned here before.

Lots of people have mistakenly thought that all objects the look like bucklers can be attached. There are objects that are just level decorations and nothing else, and other objects that look the same but are actually usable as weapons/attachments/whatever. Are you sure this isn't the cause?

No I find the wooden plate but it has a black square around it and not a white one. There are no other plates to choose. I tried to load external object but that just crashes the game.

I can attach weapons just fine, but bags and plates doesn´t work.

objects with black hitboxes are static, they are not affected by physics and cannot be used. without the O2 tab mod, you will probably have to load an external object, make sure you use a .xml file and not a .obj one
