ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Not subtle dig, I've only ever played this game in ASCII. Ok, I switched to tiles and then I could see it, thanks

Hmm, do things like tidal waves or ghoul retch show up in tiles too?

So I beat the bonus entropy boss, and now I would like to not die if possible... I just got a message saying an antropy zone appears and I should run to it. But I don't see anything; just void and space cracks. Where do I go?

Volley of arrows will fire a shot at every npc in the area of effect. But it will be a normal shot, so you may not hit every npc you fire at. e.g. if you volley at two npcs in a line, the one in front will get hit twice and the one behind won't be hit at all. And it uses lots of ammo. Scatter shot f...

There's a few public domain collections around that might be worth a look.. e.g. http://www.freesound.org/index.php. Or perhaps Wikimedia Commons (what is the license there?).

I don't have time to look right now, though..

Not me..

Perhaps an illusionist's fighting strategy would be to convince other enemies that your target is, in fact, you.

That way, it doesn't matter if the boss has high resists, because you're targeting your spell at his minions..

Oh, sorry, I missed the bit where the game is preventing you from violating the challenge.

Thanks; I'll play around with that. Two more questions:

- Can I teleport straight to a zone?

- Is there a god mode, or else can I use the console to level myself up?

In Nethack, all challenges are assigned at the start of the game, and silently removed as you violate the restrictions..

I had to check the source to figure out that the unidentified wand I picked up without thinking about it is my ticket out of here. Perhaps it could start identified? Or some clue be provided?

I'm in Bree now. Scoured the town, killed all the elementals I could find, but the quest is not continuing.

Figured out how to use the lua console to kill one more so I could continue the quest. Kept a backup of the save if you're interested.

Use Angmar's Fall to get into Angolwen?

Let's say I come up with a new vault or new boss. Can I use the lua console to conveniently test it?

Give them some special abilities that have no effect.

e.g. one ability that does nothing except display the message: "You feel a shiver run down your spine."

They can have real attacks too, but this could increase the atmosphere, and also lessen their threat.

A few thoughts: 1. Remember that if the stun ability is weakened, it also weakens fighters and rogues, since they rely on it. 2. I like your idea (in the other thread) about being able to drink potions while stunned, with a risk of spilling them. 3. Ditto your idea about being able to stagger -- per...
