SoM Money/Item Glitch

[Hguols]

John mentioned this to me in an e-mail. ‎  Someone contacted him in regards to Diadem of Maunstraut (probably because of my recommendation in the DoM manual of John being more knowledgeable about how SoM works?) and he had a freezing problem.

The freeze involved any monster dropping an item would make the game crash. ‎ 

John loaded the guy's save and noticed he had coins from monsters EVERYWHERE. ‎  Collecting the coins remedied the problem, but it goes to show that one too many items loaded to the map can result in a fatal error. ‎  (probably pass the 256 placement number?)

I haven't tried this myself. ‎  Heh, I don't even have DoM on my computer - how blasphemous is that?!?!? ‎  ^_^

I still think this might be worth mentioning in manuals though under known issues.... ‎

Probably so, I also ran into a glitch involving at least one monster that comes with SOM.

The 'salamander' type enemy that pops up out of the ground and shoots firebirds at you etc...if you move away from them to the point they try to go back into the ground, and their magic is still on the screen it will freeze SOM completely...

It sounds like the salamander problem can be remedied by not having them not go back into the ground....

I dont know how to remedy that. ‎  I actually think the problem may go deeper than that. ‎  I think the real cause of the problem may be any enemy that shoots a projectile. ‎  If the projectile hits you when you are out of the enemy's trigger range is when this seems to occur...ill have to see if i can duplicate it with any other enemy.
