Re: Pern

If I remember correctly, a symbiant could hypnotize and "wear" immovable monsters (floating eyes, molds, Q,...) and use their powers.

A mimic could use special cloaks to change the form as well as grow various extra limbs and merge with the walls.

Re: How do I generate a map in various ways?

BSP.lua is used inside of engine.generator.map.Building to subdivide the big building.

Yes, we had Mount Golem some four years ago. It was an activable talent that let you ride and control the golem for several turns. As a side effect, the damage was split between the golem and the alchemist.

Re: Infravision and Heightened Senses - Why?

In the past, Infravision and Heightened Senses stacked. They were split and the infravision bonuses of objects reduced partly because the PCs and NPCs could get a large detection radius, which made sniping from outside of sight range possible. One post even mentioned an infravision range of 30 which...

Re: Anthoril radius spells should be smite-targetable

Don't forget chants and hymns: Hymn of Preservation can give around 55% stun, blindness, and confusion resistance at the end of the game; a hymn either something like +70 physical and spell save, or 20% physical resistance, or 20% elemental resistance (well, not worth much in the East); two other ci...

Re: Missing Graphic(s?) - Mac (Downloaded 10.6.8)

Alchemist, Summoner, and Cursed get that image. It seems that the shader "awesomeaura" is not displayed properly.

Disabling Open GL shaders in the video options will fix this, but also remove most of the advanced graphic effects.

Re: Expanding Ranged Weapon Combat

Reload will be changed in the next version. Change to ammo! Now moving or waiting a turn will reload ammo automatically (based on items bonuses & talent level). Reload talent is now instant, reloads a bunch of ammo at once but disarms you for 2 turns. An instant talent with cooldown 0 means that...

Re: what's the lifespan of thalore, halflings, dwarves?

We know a few dates from the lore pieces. King Toknor (higher) died 138 years old (an old note states that this is low for a higher). Queen Mirvenia (halfling) died on the same day, five years after her husband, also with 138 years. The actual King Tolak is around 124 years old. Lianiil (human archm...

Re: Is it normal to miss elixir ingredients?

The monsters are (mostly) determined randomly; if they don't spawn in an area then you can't collect the corresponding ingredients. Try to go further, Luminous Horrors may also appear in some vaults in other zones.

Re: Crashes after character creation

try to start the game with most graphic effects off:

t-engine4 --safe-mode

If it works, you can disable the effects manually at the boot screen (Options) or in the game by pressing escape and selecting Video Options.

Re: Downloading JUST the engine still possible?

There is no standalone download for the T-Engine (yet). Just download the game and delete (or move) the tome-*.team files from the game/modules directory.

Re: [1.1.5] Doomed: Unseen Force still broken

In self:combatTalentScale the talent level parameter is taken to the power of 0.5, i.e., the square root of a negative number is calculated if the actual talent level is less than 4. I don't think that this is intended and suggest to add a test similar to the original version (see below) that return...
