Linux #138: Enemy spells do not tick down during rest [RESOLVED]

Post by Jay_H »

Actual behavior:

An enemy spider attacks and paralyzes. I kill the creature while paralyzed and then rest for 13 hours. After resting, the paralyze spell continues.

Expected behavior:

The enemy paralyze spell should tick down during rest, ending before a single hour has passed.

Thank you Jay. :)

There's a similar bug report about spells not respecting travel time, and both are related to how spell time is tracked independently of world time. I'll sort this out soon.

Thanks pango. Yep, these are both the same issue.

Yes, I am nefarious for reposting bug reports. My confidence in the DFU crew has grown as I've seen their patience with me :lol:

Is this part of the same phenomenon?

I had a vampire cast sleep (I think that's what it is) on me. I haven't found a way to dispel it yet, as my dispels never seem to work and the drain fatigue effect lasts a long time. Resting is out of the question and standing around casting restore fatigue spells stops being fun eventually. [If it works like in classic DF, I think it could take over half an hour of real world time for the spell to wear off.]

So, this time, I saved and reloaded and ... spell effect gone. I have a save with the icon on screen, but the effect has disappeared whenever I reload. I confess that I've got very mixed feelings about reporting this little exploit.

@Prester Lewin: I assume it does, as this spell is very effective and doesn't timeout while you're sleeping. Happened to me too, as I explain in the first bug report.
