ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hmm, if you can show it on the map, what happens if you click on the tree? Because that's what the addon is simulating internally.


That's what I've always assumed the problem was. It's never been particularly good at getting to stores in Elvala or Last Hope from the entrance, for instance.

When I click a tree, it's a dialog box pop-up like visiting a store or talking to an NPC.


I know you can navigate to things that are impassible, like dialog NPCs and the sewer grates under Troll Pirate Town in EoR.

Would it be possible to have that as a fallback algorithm, if A* into the tile fails? Maybe navigate to a random adjacent tile?

[sound F/X: testing] …well, I'll be damned. I don't have any tentacle trees handy to test specifically, but the simple precaution of aiming for an adjacent passible grid if the landmark terrain is itself impassable rockets me straight to Ungrol's home in Last Hope and Marus's home in Elvala, neither of which has ever worked before. I'm pushing that out as v5e; let me know if this fixes your problem.

Thanks!

I'll poke it when I have a chance and report back.

Coral Portal (the Gates of Dawn starting zone final boss trigger) works perfectly now, and that was the same issue as the tentacle trees, so I think everything's good now.

Thank you for the update!

Pushing out v5e.1, which adds the tunnel weakness at the end of the Kruk Pride tunnels as a recognized landmark. Also, in EoR, the Sunwall Observatory's entry in the landmark list was kind of long and got a bit cropped; we now tweak the dialog width as needed to prevent that from happening.

v5e.2 is a quickie update to take advantage of my new Menu Keys addon by adding a shortcut key to our "Show known Landmarks" game menu action.

v5e.3 adds a small feature requested via the Steam page: a new action "Landmarks…" on the right-click map menu, which jumps to the usual Show Landmarks dialog.

Tiny tweak in v5e.4, just pushed out: The huge levers in the orc prides and Tannen's tower change their image when you activate them, but I can never remember which image means "activated" and which means "not activated", and I can imagine that getting one wrong in that floor of Tannen's tower would be frustrating. The levers already appear in the landmark list,¹ so we just annotate them with "(activated)" or "(not activated)".

¹ Except, annoyingly, for the ones in Rak'shor pride, so we add those in this update too.

There are interesting tiles that currently don't appear in this addon's landmarks list, and it be really appreciated if you could add them in. I don't remember what they all are off the top of my head, so apologies in advance if some of these are already implemented:

• Tentacle trees from Cults (I think digestive sacks are counted as landmarks though)
• The demon statues from Ashes
• Locked vault doors?
• I forgot if the Doom pedestals appear
• I don't believe the Occult Egress runes/codes count as landmarks; it'd be cool if the "Show Landmarks" list would show the actual glyph, because sometimes viewing them on the map can be difficult based on one's tiles size.

Thanks

Yeah, those were added a few versions ago.


[sound F/X: source diving] Looks easy enough. That will be in the upcoming release for 1.7.


Hmm, not sure how I'd detect those. What I've been doing is just setting a landmark next to each vault door as I find them. That has the advantage that if you have to teleport out of a vault partway through, you can still get back to it easily.


Yeah, those have been supported since very early on, I think.


[sound F/X: source diving] Yikes, those look like they'd be tricky to detect on the map. And I'd think the glyphs would be even smaller in the text listing than on the map.
