ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

ToME doesn't exit gracefully if there's an error in a defineTile() call. Instead, it locks up and can only be exited via task manager (Windows). ToME reports the following error: Lua Error: /engine/generator/map/Static.lua:142: /data/maps/vaults/forest_bas3.lua:38: '}' expected near 'add_levels' Her...

How would one go about making new vaults? Sadly, you don't, as it turns out. Vaults aren't documented in the T-Engine4 wiki or via the LuaDoc auto-documentation. Meanwhile, I can only find wall layouts in the 1.3.0 source code so I don't know how the vaults are a) restricted by zone type, b) popula...

I know this may not considered a bug but it's weird so I'm reporting it anyway. The pretty-darn-important Blood of Life item goes into the transmog box by default. But given the item description, surely everyone quaffs this thing as soon as they get it? It's odd that this item is treated as "ju...

ToME just told me "The Blood of Life seems to have no effect on you" but offered no reason as to why. This was playing as a skeleton, adventurer mode, normal difficulty. Is this intentional? It's a thematic choice then it should really be mentioned on the character screen that skeletons ca...

Ah, that makes sense! Free time does come and go. There's a decent variety of greater vaults (I think I've only ever seen a repeat once in the same game), but yeah, the lesser ones are fairly repetitive. I think it works well enough, but if you want to throw some more variety into the mix, I'm all f...

Nice! Thanks for all of the replies :) I have to eat my words since it looks like this encounter can be handled in many ways I just didn't think of. It makes sense that it's the sort of encounter you need to prepare for. There are others like that in ToME, after all. I guess I just really wanted to ...

So... the part of ToME with Subject Z and the Wayist. I found the event with an alchemist, which meant it was impossible to save the Wayist. A bomb would have killed the Wayist, so I waited for Subject Z to come to me. Instead, it killed the Wayist in only two turns. Subject Z is way too tough to ki...

Hi all, I'm new to ToME so... please be nice. I'm not new to roguelikes, though, and I'm used to seeing a wide variety of vaults in them. However, in ToME there are so few that I typically see them repeated in consecutive games and sometimes in the same area ! My record so far has been 3 copies of t...

The area with the dream sequences is currently broken for the Alchemist class. Every time the player exits a dream, their golem becomes inanimate and impassable. When the player summons another golem, the pre-existing one remains visible (and inactive). Resummoning the golem and resting for it to he...
