Stranded II General Bug ReportsAnd my hut was right next to storage and i slept between the two.
i'm so confused by this....

thanks all!
anyway, i threw my remaining water bottles at it and got it out.
now - how do i get more water bottles? or store water to throw at a fire, or turn off the darned fire mode?
this time my tent has only been up 3 days! i just want to play the game!
thanks!

you were right! i built a new tent and watched it just start on fire! but this time there was no message in german.

look for a file called mods\stranded II\scripts\random_start.s2s
open it in a text editor and look for this line:
1
extendscript 0,0,"sys/scripts/random_events.s2s";
change it too:
1
//extendscript 0,0,"sys/scripts/random_events.s2s";

The skills increased fine, but I noticed in the character page that the titles for the skill I raised have changed. Instead of displaying Hunting, Planting and Lumbering, they now display hunt, plant and wood respectively. Is there anything that could be done to fix this?
Just so people know what I'm talking about, here's a screenie.

you can avoid this by using the third parameter of incskill where you have to enter the real name for the skill. e.g.:
1
incskill "plant",500,"Planting";
I am now trying the addition of the two // in front of the line in code. So how else will this affect the game? Will other events be stopped as well? Will it unlock the dreaded "Abdominal Snow Monster" (this is the one that isn't as fierce as his "abominable" cousin, but he makes your stomach puff out so you get fat immediately. . .truly feared.
They seem to come frequently--some times as often as 20 days apart.
Here are some observations about the fire events:
They are not affected by campfire or torch position. That is, if I put a fire source adjacent to a building it will often catch fire, but if my campfire and torches are located a far distance away, they might also catch fire.
The fires are not aware of rain. I like to establish a few "hunting camps" at various places so that I know I will have access to basic supplies when out hunting things that go 'bump' in the night. . . Recently, a storm had just ceased (putting out all torches and campfires across the island) then about 5 minutes later, I received the "red message of death" about a fire. By examining each of the sites (2 hunting camps plus home) I discovered that the storage at one of the campsites had burned. This means, of course, that the fire started with no external fire--because the storm had extinguished all fires. I was confident I had not somehow started a fire and forgot about it, because it happened at a camp that I had not visited for about 10 days.
At one point I believed that it took seven waters to extinguish the fire. I was wrong on that (that's the problem with small n).
The fires may take as many as nine waters to extinguish. I have never extinguished a fire with fewer than 3 waters. (Perhaps there is some secret to extinguishing the fire beyond putting the water in your hand and throwing it at the fire?)
The game seems to prioritize fires in this order: Shelters, tents, storage. I have discovered that I can extinguish a tent fire by "striking the tent" while on fire, then re-pitching it.
A previous answer to my previous question instructed me to change the random events 2 file to change the frequency of fires or to eliminate them from the game. I'm still playing with this--it has lengthened the time between fires, but they still seem to spontaneously combust.
A 'trick' I use is to build a shelter at each site, located in camp but away from all plants, trees, bushes, other buildings, etc. This seems to be the first building to go up in flames, so while I haven't stopped the fires, now they don't burn my storage bins!
I hope others can find an authoritative answer to this problem.

I had a problem with the tents disappearing--thought I was losing my mind (or at least the trouble ticket that was addressing my previous loss).
This is how it seems to work.
(1) I will pitch a tent in one camp.
(2) I will build a hut or treehouse there.
(3) I will take the tent with me, pitching it to establish a hunting camp.
(4) I will leave this site and go to another site.
(5) I will make another tent (absurdly easy when you are hunting lions anyway.) and pitch it at camp 2.
(6) Later I will return to camp 1. There I will strike the tent to move camp closer to the remaining nasty animals.
(7) When I strike that tent, I will end up with 2 tents, in inventory or lying on the ground, depending on the room I have available.
(8) I will then pitch tent at camp 3, probably making another tent for a future camp.
(9) I will return to camp 2, and discover that the tent is gone!
(10) I am confident this is a recurring, not an intermittent problem. On one particularly nasty island, I ended up pitching five tents around the island. Then when I struck one tent, FIVE appeared in my inventory! At first I thought "Ah. . . a nice little bug to give me infinite tents" (don't know how much it would help, given that I never need a second tent until I am well on the way to being the top predator on the island--gift logs would be far more helpful!) But when I went back to each of the camps, the tents were gone from all of them.
So apparently once there are multiple tents in the game, when you strike one of those tents, it strikes ALL of your tents and teleports them to your rucksack.
Does all this make sense?
However there are two things that can happen that end up destroying the banana.
(1) if I don't hit the banana just right, it might fall a small distance, then remain Stuck there. That is, it won't fall all the way to the ground. Sometimes I can reach it by jumping, but other times it is still out of jumping range.
Problem is, if I shoot again, it will disappear altogether (explode? disintegrate?)
It would be nice for the banana
(1) to always fall all the way to the ground
(2) to fall within range of jumping
(3) to be able to be shot again without destroying the fruit.
Actually, the ability to use a stick to knock down bananas would be useful, stuck or not. It would simply extend your reach.
A second problem;
Sometimes when a banana falls I cannot see it on te ground. At times it will show up as a tiny yellow spot, at other times it doesn't appear at all.
It is almost as if the grass overlay the game uses covers up the now-horizontal banana?
Thank you for your hard work.

The problem is that the banana object is modeled on it's
side, which is how it appears when you drop it.
But when S2 has a banana grow on a tree, it's coded to
rotate the banana into an upright position so it
hangs from the tree in a more natural position,
which causes it to end up below it's own z-axis,
so when it falls to the ground only a small part of it's stem ends up above ground.
To fix it you would have to edit the model so that it is
mostly on the +z origin instead.
I fixed it in my game by having bananas grow in 2
bunches instead, from short palms.
(Actaully bananas grow on vines not palms)

before anyone can try and help, you need to include the

image loads, yet the next time it runs, the value
of $mm_conmode is not correct and won't change,
the IF conditional also fails to recognize it's value.
you have to use == for comparision in Stranded II script (its like c++ or php).

if ($mm_conmode==0) {
hint: use commands like
msg or echo for debug output in your scripts if you have problems. they make it easier to keep track of the actual values of certain variables. Anyway, I think I found a game bug
If you hold a torch and drop a meat, the meat is in the air...so raptor is circling around below it.
