Survivor Bug Fixes for Original Seasons
Brant 
Opening immunity idols were fixed in Micronesia and Gabon along with male and female immunity winners in several other seasons including All-Stars, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Philippines, Samoa, and Worlds Apart. Voted out castaways and castaways of the wrong gender could win immunity during these challenges previously. Thanks to the many users who have been reporting these Survivor bugs for the older seasons, and please let me know if I missed any.
In order to make the BrantSteele.net simulators easier to update, I made a few adjustments to the server. If you see any new issues on the .net Big Brother, Survivor, or Hunger Games simulators it may be a result of these changes, and I’ll address them as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your continued feedback.
Update:
- Another error was fixed in the Survivor Pearl Islands simulator where the immunity winner at the merge tribal council may not have actually had immunity.
- An error was fixed with Survivor Worlds Apart where the merge idol could be found by multiple players.
- Episode 10 of Survivor Micronesia wasn’t showing who had idols and whether or not they played them.
Survivor 35 Test Version Released
A test version has been released of the Survivor 35: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers simulator. There was just limited testing, so some small bugs are to be expected.
This season shares most of its code with Survivor seasons 33, 34, and 37. A “Shuffle Tribes” option has been added to all four of those seasons.
Idols and special advantage items are not complete in any of these seasons. After Game Changers is released, a new special item structure will be added to better handle these, and the voting algorithm will be updated based on this change.
Please report any issues. I’ll list the bugs fixed here. Thank you.
Bugs Fixed
– Some of the tribal rewards in S33, S34, and S37 displayed duplicate winners.
– Exiled castaway in S34 joins correct tribe if there’s a quit or medevac.
– Incorrect tribe names displayed with immunity winning tribes pre-merge
– Episode 12 reward winner not shown.
– 12th and 13th place incorrectly listed as jurors on the placement page.
Survivor 37 Test Version Released
A test version has been released of the Survivor 37: David vs. Goliath simulator. It’s early in the day, and I’ll be monitoring comments here and on social media to address the bugs. There was just limited testing, so some small bugs are to be expected.
This season is based on the Survivor 33 and Survivor 34 simulators. All three of these seasons now include more display customization options based on user feedback. Depending on your preference, they can more closely resemble the original .net seasons. The Events/Status Pages, Relationship Highlights, Status Page Buttons, Reasoning and Targets, and Relationship Highlights are optional and can be turned on and off with many default options set to false.
New features also include:
– The final four format
– New tiebreaker for winners (also added to S33 and S34)
The finale’s format is assumed but can be adjusted if the actual finale differs.
The hidden advantages are the weakest part of this season and need more work. Overall, this is about 30% closer to the final state I’m aiming for the .com Survivor seasons. There may be lingering bugs from existing seasons with the voting algorithm. The plan is to address these bugs, add the final improvements, and enable “Change Settings Each Episode” before adding saving. With the year coming to an end, it’s my goal to make these updates more regularly and move on to other simulators besides Survivor 33-37 in 2019. There are known bugs, mainly with initial immunity and multiple immunity winners by gender, in the .net seasons that will be addressed as well.
Please report any issues. I’ll list the bugs fixed here. Thank you.
Bugs Fixed
– Immunity text implying a group tribal council in episode 4 removed.
– Exiled castaway joins correct tribe if there’s a quit or medevac.
– Game Changers’ automatic rocks tiebreaker added back.
Bug Fixes, including Big Brother Template
A few bugs were fixed with the Big Brother interactive template that have been reported for years. At the end of the season in interactive style, simulator users were unable to go back and see who voted for who if their houseguest reached the final two. This is now possible after viewing the Winner page during the finale. Similarly these can be viewed either after seeing your eviction if you’re not on the jury, or at the end of the season if you are on jury.
Another glitch was fixed where the simulator treated “change relationships each week” as an interactive simulation and limited display of alliances and votes. Finally, a more recent bug where custom events only worked in rare scenarios was fixed. Beyond these bug fixes, there’s still a plan to add the Big Brother Template to the .com server and add saving and voting charts in the future.
Thanks to the users who reported these bugs and helped provide details and instructions to replicate them over email, social media, and the Discord server.
Other bugs fixed:
– When clicking the BB20 logo in Seasons, the link followed to BB19.
– Random cast in Celebrity Big Brother contained duplicate houseguests 50% of the time when ‘all male’ or ‘all female’ options were selected.
– When the final person left with a gift bag won HoH in Celebrity Big Brother, the week did not progress correctly.
– Automatic black & white function on the .net Big Brother and .net Survivor simulators didn’t work in some browsers.
– Added Katrina Kozar from MasterChef season 6, who had been skipped before.
– Added two new houseguests from BBUK season 19.
Update: Another scenario was found where the votes and alliances were still not available at the end of the season. This has been corrected now.
Celebrity Big Brother US Simulator Released
The Celebrity Big Brother US simulator has been released. Thanks to Brandon for planning the season and he and TheNman1 for helping to test it. Any feedback that you leave on the season or bug reports would be appreciated. If no major bugs are found, saving will be added this weekend.
Expect the first of two cast photo updates this weekend as well and more simulator updates before the end of the year. It’s being discussed what simulators are coming next, and that will be announced once plans are decided.
Also, feel free to join the new Discord channel.
Weekend Update: Thanks for all of your feedback. Saving has been added to finalize this season.
Coming Soon: Big Brother 19 Simulator
The next content update will be the Big Brother 19 simulator.
Due to all the twists, this will take at least a few more days to finish. Details on its progress will be posted on social media, and a new blog post will be created for feedback when it’s released.
