ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

God damn you Kamani, when I saw this topic had new posts I was expecting nekarcos to have surprise dropped an update after months of silence, DG style, on Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Oops. Sorry. No, I just wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas. Oops.

Well, nobody said anything last time I asked for advice, so I am going to repeat once:
My online char sheet broke again. I made it all the way to High Peak, but now it stopped updating. (Here it is: https://te4.org/characters/196824/tome/ ... ce88ceb7c2). I didn't notice it had stopped updating until I had won, so now (again...) it failed. Anyways, it feels like this may be an addon thing (and I only have your addons and the official ones enabled on it), since it has happened twice playing as a fire drake, but I don't really know much about the online charsheet, so that may be incorrect. Anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid this in the future? I want a win with every OotS class in my character vault, so this has been rather a bother (admittedly, I'll probably never manage ritch anyways. I am AWFUL beyond belief at it, but still).

Also, anyone have any tips for playing as ritch? Since I think they'll end up as the hardest, I want them off the list.

After crafting and equipping Unerring Scalpel on a Ritch. Caused my game to freeze up and flash black over and over again, switching between my inventory view and a black screen, until I force quit.

Installed addons are Expanded Shops, Improved Rest/Restore, Marson's AWOL, Zomnibus, Rage Quit and a couple of the various Nekarcos QOLs - nothing that seems like it would affect this, probably.

While playing a hydra, I began to take suffocation damage, moved on to an air bubble tile, and continued to take suffocation damage with a positive air balance, killing the character. Additionally there was some weirdness when I turned off still as death at the -700 mark. It set me back to 1 hp. I moved once and died, with 40 or so air left.

Edit: Nevermind. I'm getting this with the addon disabled. With all addons disabled, in fact.

Since I'm posting, I'd like to suggest toning down the sheer quantity of talents, particularly the generics. It's not a good sign if a player is expected to use so many of them that you have to start awarding additional talent points just to offset the bloat. Perhaps lump some functionality together, look for redundancies, and simplify how they grant improvements?

Reducing complexity might well reduce the bug fixing workload, too.

Eh, lots of generics mean lots of options, which I really enjoy. I prefer it that way.

Annoying glitch in Hidden Compound for War Hound. When using Belie, enthralled slaves will be belied as normal, but when you kill the slavers, they will become hostile once belie ends, even though the slave that made them hostile is gone.

Well... I have two bugs in the spoilers section and one here, and I haven't been receiving a response, so... Why is there silence? It is somewhat worrying, especially since OotS is my favorite addon (been playing another fire drake, but this time, not using the overpowered scales prodigy).

Well, I won without the scales prodigy, but... It didn't record in the characters vault again. I have no clue why this isn't working, but I think it may have to do something with this addon, since, ever since I have started playing, it has happened three times. On the other hand, it hasn't happened to anyone else, it is really weird and not entirely clear. Any ideas? This is really getting on my nerve. Especially since the character vault issue only occurs when I am already part way up High Peak.

Edit: Tested without any addons, so it is either the fault of OotS or a QoL addon.

So, this has been silent from nearly half a year now from nekarcos. Are you still working on this, or is this dead? It would really stink if it was dead, so I would like to know. Always hate when something really cool dies before it is finished.

There's a subtle bug with War Hound's Steady Pace skill, which supposedly regenerates stamina based on your missing stamina every time you move (at my current rank, it should regen 1.8% of my missing stamina every time I move). However, the stamina scaling is the reverse of what's stated- it has no effect when I have 0 stamina, and regens the most when my stamina is almost full. (So at 10% stamina I'd regen 0.18% of my max stamina per turn, and at 90% stamina I'd regen 1.62% of my max stamina per turn).

I finally got a win that recorded to my char sheet (for some reason, all of my Fire Drake wins refused to count):

War Hound (secret unlock mode). Ironically, I mostly did melee with Hunting Pack to make that damage huge.
Now they died to a bug.

Got a screwy bug on my current fire drake playthough.

Isovau died right about the same time I did, and when we all ended up on the Eidolon plane her equipment slots were all gone. And they've STAYED gone. It also force-unequipped her items.

Among other things this has locked me out of the Far East underwater maps - I'm AM so I couldn't even pick up the aquastone to keep and give to another drake if I did replace her.

Strange, and that stinks. If you get waterbreathing (including by equipping an aquastone to yourself), they’ll also get waterbreathing, so it still might be possible. Nekarcos hasn’t been responding to posts since December (even though they are apparently still logging on, based on their profile?), but I guess I might be able to fix the save if you post it. I’ve fixed some other OotS bugs through save editing, so it should be possible.

Can't find any waterbreathing items other than aquastones, can't use aquastones because AM.

Do you know what specific subfiles you need? I can't get the whole (compressed) folder to upload.
