TODO: Figure out Cursed Sailor/Marine's DisplayID

Open Yushe opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

After trying to track down alpha footage that I saw for issue #975 I stumbled upon a discovery that we got the Display IDs for Cursed Sailor/Marine's wrong.

This footage of 0.5.3 shows what one of these NPCs should look like (most likely Cursed Sailor). Because of how blurry the footage is its almost impossible to know which NPC it is.

The video in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LirXh6fBeqU The NPC is seen at 16:05

Side note: I am unsure if this full presentation video of 0.5.3 is archived or if we know the origin of it.

Cursed sailor display_id is 3505, same as vanilla. Cursed marine display_id was missing and was changed to use 3507 because of screenshot below

(notice name of the file : "05 12 04 turned into a cursed marine") 05-12-04 Turned Into A Cursed Marine

both display id are very close Capture d’écran_2022-12-19_19-42-02

Are we sure gamemeca screenshot is from version 0.5.3 ?

I took the screenshot from a YouTube video that I have linked in the OP. The video is definitely from 0.5.3 and shows a presentation that Blizzard did in Korea, not only do we know of a Korean version of 0.5.3 but Daribon examined the footage and confirmed that the footage was 0.5.3 with the console setting the time and date to "10/15/2003 (Wed) 19:21". This means the Korean build of 0.5.3 is 2 months earlier than the build that we currently have.

We need to investigate where this video originated and more about this presentation as its raw footage of 0.5.3 with the devs talking. I haven't examined all the footage yet but I'm sure more discoveries can be made.

Probably the build that we see in video is not 0.5.3

Here's a screenshot from the video (notice red thing on screen when someone take a picture) Capture d’écran_2023-03-16_19-58-50

Here's probably a screenshot taken the same day showing Undercity (notice red thing on screen as well) Capture d’écran_2023-03-16_19-56-42

On the same video showing Undercity, we can see there is no liquid yet, 0.5.3 have liquid Capture d’écran_2023-03-16_19-55-33

Probably this build is earlier than 0.5.3

The build in the footage is confirmed to be 32 days older than the build that we have but it is still 0.5.3.
