Technical Riddles


Hello there! This little event is made to test your knowledge of technical side of toribash and PC in general, and maybe to make you learn something new in the process.



Each week we are going to post a new technical riddle for you to solve. It can be anything as long as it's related to the game and/or forum. Your goal is tposolve the mystery, sometimes explain why this certain thing doesn't work or works differently than expected. For doing that you will get a small prize depending on how hard the riddle was. You're allowed to ask questions and get answers, but answers will come from a point of person who doesn't know what the problem is. If the riddle doesnt get solved within a week, it goes into unrevealed riddle archive. You can still solve those later for a slightly lower prize.

the problem is that he either did not have enough tc and the shop shows him only what he can affort or he has a white belt but that is not the case with fudge

Nvm that

I think i got it

He was not logged in. You need to be logged in to use the shop...And the shop pnly showing what u can buy next if u achive white belt. It was probably a new install of toribash



Ok, cracked it

He was a new account
On a low qi account it only shows what u can buy, so only chronos, gladiator and orc force are available since they don;t require any qi

Although the next page shows that u can buy aqua, marine and gaia once u achive yellow belt

Fudgiebalz has 9k qi, he's not a new account.

um, if we're allowed to ask questions..
does it say "Hello, fudgiebalz! You have 0 TC and a unidentified belt" in the torishop home (before clicking the colors menu), even though fudgiebalz has more than 0 TC and a 9th dan?

I don't there is something like that in the ingame torishop

Anyway. I want to ask the operators of this event to post the riddle on the first page of this event. Always on first page pls.

Wasn't able to check today but that's probably right.

Yeah, that was just me being unprofessional.

If that so, I once had a similar problem too lol.

From what I found, if that message is displayed then that means the in-game torishop script failed to find or parse the player's item.dat file from their custom folder.

What's the reason for his case... I can't figure out. In my case it was my internet connection that caused the problem. It lets me play the game, but (sometimes) fails to download player custom files from https://content.toribash.com because my connection got blocked by CloudFlare itself or something like that. My solution was changing my internet connection to a better one (which was my neighbor's wifi) to download the necessary item.dat file, and it worked!

If the goal of this is just to make the in-game torishop working again for fudgiebalz, I think downloading his item.dat manually (from a friend's PM perhaps) and placing it in his custom folder would do the trick.

He has to verify local files cache integ.ity as some files are corrupt, boom.
