Mining Animation Stuck

Post by SellSword »

FT Account name: SellSword
Time of bug: About 10 minutes before post
Where: Don't believe this is location specific, but I was mining LostKnight's house on 0, -1
What: I was mining, but instead of the mining animation stopping and my character standing around in normal skin the mining animation kept going. Despite the animation continuing I was not receiving any rocks/stones. It was probably a few minutes as I was chatting.
Why: Mining sequence should stop both animation and receiving mined rock "drops" at the same time.
Other comments: I moved away from the rock and started mining again and all was fine. I think I had this happen before as well. No big deal as self resolved, but odd.

Could be lag related.
Most likely client side - did anyone else observe this happen to you as well?
I'm thinking, it's similar in how when a lag spike happens, you see players in the wrong place until they move, or you log.
Also, when you moved, did the animation go away right away?
As in, during/after your first step.
Or did you "slide" while mining?

Either way, it sounds like another harmless graphics bug (the game has several), and nothing really serious.
Often, what you see isn't what's really happening in the game itself.

But perhaps, if all these graphics issues get piled up, they could all be addressed in one fix (if they have similar causes anyway).

Harmless issue, I'm pretty sure. I figure why not toss it on the forum though? Someone who knows things might view things differently.

When I moved away to stop the stuck animation I moved like normal, no sliding or anything else that looked weird.

There was conversation and other things going on, plus a mix of mining and not mining segments leading up to it, so I'm not sure what someone else would have even picked up on. I mean, I didn't even think much of it myself for who knows how long.

Heh
I ran into a similar issue, not too much later, on map 2.-3
A player approached to speak with me, while I was farming there
He started attacking some of the mobs too...
after all the mobs were gone, his attack animation persisted anyhow
and stopped as soon as he moved

Yea, I was watching SellSword chipping away at Rockheim and he was telling me, "Interesting, not getting any stones" but there he was, whack, whack, whack, whack. I was getting stones chipping away and Rockheim at the same time.

Hmmm...

If you are mining at a rock with no rock drops around, does it make a sound?

Those great mysterious questions of FT!

I'd say if you are felling a tree and hear a rock-slide ....
