monsters resurrect in further fights

Hi,

I went after the fight with the oozes in the beholder lair part of the map of chapter 3 and faced the surprise round of some insects.

Then this happened:

the dead oozes resurrected.

(This post was from version 1.13)

Also happened in another fight (where i forgot to screen shot)

And here too:

In the same "inner building fight", the enemies from below the tower (where the red dragon was located at the start of his fight) also spawned with 1 HP.

Same issue with the fight here and the scorpion from the previous fight, in 1.14:

Edit: when targeted (with negative HP) attacks do not register in the combat log (and always miss)

Edit2 : the monster (in this precise case) remains at negative hp, and i had to use a spell to kill it.

Hello LordSith

Just tested using your saved game the fight with the oozes followed by the ambush fight with the psionic beetles, had no issue. Again, very likely to be due to the AOO bug. I would recommend getting the feat Defensive Archery for now. Also, when you notice a bug, it's better to close the game, then restart and reload. If you continue without closing the game and restarting, you're bound to get more problems which will reflect only the fact that the initial bug corrupted the memory, as in these examples.

I did correct the sprite of the psionic beetles, as they were using the giant-spider sprites.

Cheers

I had this issue again in version 1.29 in the fight with the black dragon south of the castle in chapter 4. this screen shows the remaining monster of the current fight:

The black and blue dragons on the southern tower of the tower reappared in the battle. I had previously already killed them:

&

Although those "already dead" monsters seem to have a lot of HP, one hit each sufficed to kill them. (I have no save because combat log disappear after fight and i didn't know i would end the fight with the spell doing it...)

Another occurence.

i'm fighting the beholders' lair.

in this room, i kill all enemies in one round but the combat is not over.
I then notice the list of initiative: some skeletons from the "ultimate wizard ruler of the universe" room have resurrected for the fight...

and mosnters are there:

I can't end this fight and the game expects me to go (in battle time!) there and kill them although they are at negative HPs. Please fix this bug.

Another case in next fight from this save:

https://we.tl/t-PJbWv3AHKc

The negative HP and 1HP monsters are the "reapparing" ones.

After the screen, other monsters from the same already done fight have respawned...

Any monster with negative HP is a valid target for melee or ranged attack but :
- those attacks NEVER register in the combat log
- those attacks ALWAYS miss

Only spells can kill the negative HP monsters.

Please fix this bug...

Hello LordSith! Thank you for the saved games.

I've just tried both fights, had no issue with any resurrecting monsters. So, either the issue has already been fixed, or it was due to something happening in the previous fight and that got cleared when the game was closed and relaunched.

P.S. The combat log does not disappear after the end of a fight. You can still open it by pushing Left Control + C out of combat. It will display the information from the last fight.

Cheers! Best regards 8-)
