Hero_party

[lancer63]

Playing v.0.701. At the foot of the mountains south of Uxhal found the floating letters 'Hero_party' went to them but nothing happened. I asume it's a leftover.

I have the same in my game, they appeared after I rescued a kidnapped girl in the area.

Yah this seems to be directly linked the kidnapped girl. I've had it happen three different times in that context.

Heh I know I shouldn't be bringing this thread back up, especially since it is a bug report, but I couldn't help but add the thought that I always have when I see this bug:

A hero party???? Why wasn't *I* invited?!?!?! YOU BASTARDS!

I would have brought a cake, too...


What brought up this thought though, was I was wondering if this bug couldn't be turned into a "feature" instead... assuming it can be modified the way I think I can. What I'm thinking: it would make it alot easier to identify the locations of your heroes when they are not in your party, as well as the location of some wandering quest enemies. Instead of being forced to use the cheat menu in order to find some hero/enemy that has wandered off from where it is supposed to be, you will instead see a marker for "hero_party" or "quest_party" on the horizon. It would also be good for caravan escort quests, since right now you can't rest in an inn and hope to find your caravan again (assuming it is still alive, anyway...).

The "hero_party" thing has nothing to do with kidnapped girl. I'm playing a .701 and the string appears even though I have not completed any quests in the game (and not even joined a faction yet).

It is also in 0.703. I just recently noticed it, so I dont know if it was there since the start of my game or appeared sometime later...

The mysterious hero party appeared also in version 0.704 (located in mountain area near Uxkhal). I didn't notice it berofe taking merchant missions..
