Re: Time to update guides and wiki

I haven't the slightest clue how you got from this code: function _M:combatTalentWeaponDamage(t, base, max, t2) if t2 then t2 = t2 / 2 else t2 = 0 end local diff = max - base local mult = base + diff * math.sqrt((self:getTalentLevel(t) + t2) / 5) -- print("[TALENT WEAPON MULT]", self:getTa...

MD5 checksum verification for compiled versions

This is nothing new, but every single version, compiled ToME fails to verify its own checksum against the server.

It's especially bad in the latest release, where apparently it doesn't even successfully compute any checksum:
[MODULE LOADER] module MD5 nil computed in 39993

Re: News patches and chars

Nothing forces you to update to later version if you still have ongoing chars. Apparently on Windows this is untrue. The game updates itself automatically even if you have saved chars. There has been a lot of complaining in the in-game chat about this (or I just happened to be playing at the right ...

Re: Time to update guides and wiki

To show formulas, I think that I would have to try and parse the talents' Lua code myself. This seemed much harder. Aye. All past attempts to quantify the talents have failed. The closest we've ever managed to come was to invent our own shorthand notation (basically written as a function call with ...

Re: Time to update guides and wiki

The 6 trillion templates under TalentReq are... not what I would have done, to be sure. I'm not sure if I want to take the trouble to learn enough to rip them all out and replace them with a single template that does arithmetic instead of using a different template for every single require = X line ...

Re: Do shops ever restock?

If my character is still using the starting 60-point regeneration infusion after the first dungeon, then I'll go shopping for a better one immediately. That's my first priority. The next infusion I'm likely to buy after that would be a movement infusion. On characters that use runes, I'll go shoppin...

Re: ToME off of Wikipedia

I made another edit on the AFC page, mostly to keep it from being auto-deleted. I don't think they're going to accept the article until it has at least 1 more reference from a source that is not a blog, a wiki, or a self-published website like te4.org. (Although none of the people rejecting it have ...

Re: 1.0.5e Step Up duration

It's been like that forever (long before the 1.0 release). I still don't know whether that's intended or not.

Being attacked by a Dredge. "Dredge uses Stun", it says. I get an indeterminate number of error popups -- so many that I have to repeatedly press "Close All" because I can't even type a whole word in one of them before there's another one eating my keyboard input. git 36263a0e6db...
