ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Is there any mechanism of being notified of add-on updates (in general, not just this add-on) in the game?
I'm using the non-steam version, not sure if steam workshop notifies, interested to find out for both versions nevertheless.
Thanks

So I've been playing the game a bit more this weekend. After thinking that I've got my tactics down, something surprising hit me and killed me once. Normally I'd use phase door to get some distance between myself and the enemy. The area with the boss at the SherTul Fortress doesn't allow Teleport!!!...

Cool, waiting for the good news

I'm a programmer by training and profession, but too lazy to dig into the game's code.

1) I am playing in 1680x1050 (16:10) and even with the default 1 row height "talents bar" at the bottom, it sometimes covers about half my lowest tile on the map. Sucky when in a map where the character is at the bottom-most tile/tunnel. Is there a setting for this? 2) I'd like to use 2 ro...

Interesting choice to do Lake Nur right after Old forest... Can you share your decision/thoughts/experience on that? I kinda avoid Lake Nur due to the breathing issue (unless I'm lucky to find items) and the boss at the end until late teens level. (17+) Recently I only clear 2 or 3 T1 dungeons (due ...

Wow, thanks for the detailed help.

Can you elaborate on the casting around corners tip? Don't really get what you mean.

Assuming you are using Windows and are comfortable with some simple scripting (comes with some examples).
You can make it trigger the macro only if the program running is "t-engine.exe"

I'm mainly dying at Boss Minotaur @ Maze IIRC. Check out all my Archmages in the past 1 week. http://te4.org/user/107860/characters For earlier deaths, I was still trying to get a hang of the play style and finding out what skills are actually effective. No Wildfire tree, only accumulated 400k plus ...

I have been trying to get acquainted with playing an Archmage for some time now. But every time I get decent leveled (~L16+), I die (repeatedly) and the game ends. Besides Exploration mode, are there any other interesting/fun ideas for me to alleviate this? (Save scum? How does that work? I sure don...

If I am not wrong, you are loading a save game.
Once a character/game is started with addons, they can't be removed. (I may be wrong)
But that's my experience.

How I "remove" them is to set the addons to DISABLED in the addons menu.
And start a new character.

It is most probably your chinese translation addon ("chn") that is causing the problem. You can either: 1) Disable the "chn" addon and see if it works. If it works after your disable the addon, it is definitely caused by the "chn" addon. 2) This is more complicated. You...

It might be useful to post your video card brand/model and also driver versions?

Also, do you have video links to show the UN-awesome graphics and also the awesome graphics?
I'm curious which experience I'm getting too.
