Bug in Single Combat Spell

[m.galimberti]

I was playing Angband 4.2.2 on my mobile (Android 9) using a Paladin. After I kill a monster after the spell “Single Combat”, I am stack in the compacting room with no monster and no way to go back to the level or the town. I tried the debug mode comand 'j'ump to a level but it make Angband to crash.
Any suggestion?

If you can give me your savefile, I can try to fix it.

[m.galimberti]

Hi Nick,
thanks. Here the Savefile

[Nick]

I'm sorry, because you're playing with randarts I'll need your randart file as well. It should be called randart_01002fe6.txt, and be in your archive directory.

[m.galimberti]

Hi Nick, thanks again, here the file. For curiosity, there is a program to edit the save file or you are uding the source code of Angband to do it?

[Pete Mack]

gdb and a debug build. I've done it, but it's a pain.

Do you mean running the game (the load savefile part) line by line and change variables until you get the town generated ?

[Pete Mack]

It depends. Usually its a matter of forcing a save after zeroing out a bad pointer.

[Nick]

Yes, usually it's a matter of seeing where the game crashes, and then working out what's wrong from there and fixing it.

This one is proving a little tricky, it may be a day or two.

it will be fun if someone will record a video with such process or just make a mini-guide with bunch of screenshots

[Nick]

Fixed savefile attached (back in town). What monster were you fighting, and was there anything interesting about the fight?

[m.galimberti]

Thank you very much Nick. It was actually only a draconic Quylthulg the middle of a room. Hope it will not happen again.
