ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

My preference for cursed items goes to items with some personality. If you go along that personality, the item is excellent, but if you go against it, the item is dangerous. And to avoid players unequipping them whenever they are inconvenient, just add restrictions on when they can be removed. Few s...

Couldn't the refund cost be stored in a variable that is sent to the projectile (or project), and have the damage code decide on the refund?

All BOB (not BoB) rooms are procedurally generated (even vaults). This make figuring out possible (aka: doable) rooms a little on the hard side.

-- A spiral vault, without any seals, with a vault at the end min_level = 1 rarity = 10 meta_generator = function(gen, id) local w = rng.range(5, 9) local h = rng.range(5, 9) return { name="lv_spiral"..w.."x"..h, w=w+2, h=h+2, generator = function(self, x, y) local filter = nil ...

Just a quick comment: your code changes the return value of the function. Here would be a fix for that: if typ == "use" then local ret = self:useObject(who, inven, item) if ret then if self.use_sound then game:playSoundNear(who, self.use_sound) end who:useEnergy(game.energy_to_act * (inven...

Congratulation madmonk for winning the second part of the mini-contest! Resting was really, really, really, really slow. To the point that I was browsing the net whilst waiting for resting to finish. That annoys me too, so I will make regeneration much faster when resting. (That's also the solution ...

For those who don't check on the SVN:

Good to see many people who destroyed the Guardian! Especially one who didn't use the same build as I did :) . (A hint for those posting character sheet: use the code display when doing so instead of the quote display, it will look nicer.) I dunno if I may ask for a features or not... But mine isn't...

Yeah I killed the guardian. Surprisingly it wasn't that long of a fight. here is the link http://te4.org/characters/931/bob/e3e4fe42-4921-11e0-a945-001cc000edf0 If any thing the corpse eaters are more nasty. trumpet noises Congratulation Goblinz! trumpet noises You are the first winner of the first...

OK, here is the first one: Acidic Puncher . I started the fight at level 6, and used my starting blood of life and about 8 mending potions during the fight. I didn't need to run away to rest. And here is another: Not Yet . The only resource I used in that fight was a mending potion prior to starting...

It appears only dead characters are registered. Is this intended? Nope, but characters are only registered when you save or die, but not when you "save and exit"... That's the second bug for the online character sheet... (the other one prevents the list of defeated bosses to be shown corr...

Or even more radical: eliminate all item drops! Only gold drops! All items are bought from stores!

(That's how it works in BOB.)

Something that should be considered if you make that change is that 2 points of Armor (with the current system) is strictly weaker than 2% of resist all, since they both more or less do the same reduction, but armor only apply on non-magical attacks. (And resist all scales better at high value, as l...

I think we're nearing convergence, Marcotte :) Doubling attack and defense leads to less than double the damage. Quadrupling attack and double defense leads to quadruple the damage I'm afraid I don't follow. How can both of these be true? Can you try explaining again? Let assume a damage function d...

Let's construct a somewhat generic function based on the following behavior with inputs "damage" and "armor": (1) if armor = 0, do 100% damage (2) if damage >> armor, do 100% damage (3) if armor >> damage, do 0% damage Okay. This is somewhere to start. I totally agree with this ...
