ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Humm, the thing is saveing can be a tad long sometimes. Maybe only at zone change ? Is that a limitation of the new engine? SDL or lua limitation or something? Seems like not providing an autosave function because of slow saves is like putting a bandaid two inches away from the wound. Can save spee...

Well, that's all very classy and inspirational, but I stand by the assertion. I don't stand there and fight - haven't since I learned in ToME 2.3.x that standing and fighting is generally bad practice unless you're vastly faster than your enemies (hack and back instead) or greatly outlevel them, or ...

Not to sound like whining but I'm gonna have to second this one. I've rolled up in excess of 50 characters and still haven't even hit level 10. I don't mind a challenging game but it seems mostly to come down to the luck of not getting mobbed into a corner by a bunch of ankle-biters. Sometimes the i...

The markup is pretty insane, but not entirely un-understandable. Perhaps the markup/markdown could be dialed back a bit, but I expect it won't matter hugely. My guess is all the really good stuff comes from the dungeon anyway, where it's "free." Anyway, one thing I was wondering was why go...

I believe I spotted a comma splice in the initial dialog at the tower... (something ending it "what will you find", I believe).

Why couldnt we convert them to ogg ? It's generally not advisable to convert from lossy to lossy. However, I suppose it'd work for simple music and sound effects. We can play mp3 is need be anyway. I'm not so sure. T4 being licensed under the GPL, I'm not sure if that's a good idea. The legal statu...

(Again, maybe I'm missing it...)

Possible to get a feature to revert keybindings to default?

I can't see the black bears. I know I'm colorblind but I can't see the darn things at all. They're like space monsters!

Well what do you used macros for ? If just the basic cast macro with target selection then it'll work just fine with the targetting system and the hotkeys I believe. True, if the casting system is totally overhauled, then macros are pretty much moot anyway. I haven't felt the need to look into whet...

I got lazy just ran this (Fedora 12): yum install SDL*devel That'll give you pretty much all the SDL packages in the repos even though all of it isn't needed for T4. Shouldn't be too huge of a DL. I also had lua-devel installed and god knows how many other libs installed. Any other Fedora users curi...

You want me to use my mouse!? On a roguelike!? :P Well, I know what I'd change - my SOP for any given *band is the regular window, one window showing messages, one showing equipment/inventory, one showing visible monster list, and one with monster recall. I realize that the new engine departs signif...

Ohhhhhh.... that makes sense. Disregard, then.

1) you can press backscape to go back I'm not at a machine where I can roll up a test character right now, but if I recall I wasn't able to do so after I got to stat and ability-purchase screens. 4) not yet, not sure it is needed, is it really ? Perhaps not for all players. I'm a bit... indecisive....

I'll be honest. I miss terms already. Typical *band terms feel perhaps a bit hackish, but at the same time they're sort of elegant. They get the job done and are a clever way of allowing customization of the UI. Nothing ruins trying a new *band more quickly (for me) than a variant that just does ter...

Quick question (move this to a different subboard if this is the inappropriate place)... I was playing a little bit last night with manually compiled TE4 on Linux (specifically Fedora 12) and hit a couple "bugs" that seem so far to be non-reproducable. I only ask because they could just as...
