Broken sarcophagus trigger
At some point in Episode 2 you are supposed to shoot a sarcophagus to open the gate that leads to the final level.
However, you can easily softlock the game by following these steps:
- Load this savegame: save_03.pcs.zip
- Open the wall in front of you.
- Go inside the tomb.
- Let the wall close before you.
- Shoot the stone coffin.
Nothing happens at this point and there's no way to finish the level. The ankh symbol on the inner sarcophagus should have lit up and the gate opened.
But there is a workaround:
- Load the provided savegame.
- Open the wall in front of you.
- Shoot the stone coffin until the top breaks.
- Let the wall close (but don't go inside yet).
- Open the wall and go inside the tomb.
- Shoot the stone coffin again.
Also, I have noticed this oddity (both geometry and textures of the coffin changed) while messing around but I'm not sure how to reproduce it.
Hi. This is known problem. Script for this level is very strange: To shot sarcophagus and unlock final gate, you need unlock procedure 26, to unlock procedure 26, you need unlock procedure 38, but for unlocking of procedure 38 you need to broke sarcophagus! I didn't know yet, how original game solve this problem.
It seems I found a solution of this problem. Here is a fix: https://github.com/Panzerschrek/Chasm-Reverse/commit/3f5ed23bba9bfdfade61b2aaff1bfa1edaa9769d Here is a build with this fix: https://github.com/Panzerschrek/Chasm-Reverse/releases/tag/0.3
Hi. The level is now completable, thanks!
However, the fix seems to have introduced a regression:
- Load the savegame.
- Shoot the bottom of the coffin before the wall closes.
The coffin breaks in a very strange way: the geometry and textures of the coffin get messed up (looks different than the previous oddity I found). No idea if this bug is also present in vanilla Chasm.
Problems with coffin itself is other bug. Even in old version coffin breaks as on your screenshot if you shoot to it with grenade launcher on map start.
