RFT16

* Last spell implemented: Displacement Shield (replacing Recall, we wont have recall, dungeons are shallow enough)
* Store refills less often and cleans before doing so
* Slime mold juice costs more
* Amulet of mastery updated to new talents
* Trap will o more freeze a running player
* Fixed potion of slime juice
* Blood of Life works only once
* Game icon thaks to Shoob (although I did not recompile the game binaries so it wont show)
* Thieves lost the steal talent
* Colored damage text
* And the big change of this RFT, a rework of how levels are saved:
** The engine can now either: not-persist, persist to disk, persist to game or persist to zone, a level
** The wilderness will persist in the main savefile, this means it wont save/reload each time you zone in, which will make wilderness/dungeons switch much quicker
** All other zones are now persisted in a single file, this means while you remain in a zone all existing levels are kept in memory, making the switch between them instantaneous. The levels are all saved with the zone when leaving, so it is a bit slower when leaving/entering a zone. But also much less frequent

Tell me how this feels, I believe it should be much nicer to navigate levels this way

my question, while I am downloading it, is: do you need a separate icon for macs? I can post one in that format if you want.


here is a map of middle earth, on public domain: http://www.mediafire.com/i/?j5jjyakkrum

[darkgod]

No idea
What is the format ?

[Shoob]

.icns

and I will post them here, note that maybe that map I posted above *may* not be public domain, that is where I found it though.

ok... worked on it a bit more, this folder should have all you need, I combined all the icon sizes into one file too

[Shoob]

and you may want to look at the death message again... time flies when you are dead

and yay, unlocked wilders (yes I did get the popup)

there was a honey tree in the very first clearing of the trollshaws : D

but they dont show up in the character creation
[edit: oh, nevermind, you have to *die* to unlock them fully, seems kinda strange.]

That is strange, I know people run multiple characters, so this may need to be "fixed"...

[darkgod]

?????????????
You should not need to hummm

[Shoob]

what I did:

unlock it, save and quit without moving (maybe moving would make it ok???), try to start a wilder, wasnt there.

died, resurrected, died again. started a new character, and viola, there it was.

[darkgod]

You completly quitted the application at some point ?

[darkgod]

Ah yes found & fixed thanks

[Shoob]

bah... I dont like starting in amon sul at all. like I said a few rfts back, if you make us start in a dungeon, at least make sure we go first, right now I have been swarmed several times in a row by monsters and only got 1 or 2 moves in.

[darkgod]

True true

[madmonk]

So I started '16 and just for a laugh loaded my 15 save game (in which I had unlocked the Wilder class). The game had shown a level corruption problem so did not go down well in '16 at all (what did I expect?)...

I came back this evening (NZ time) started '16 and have the Wilder available!

[madmonk]

So my Wilder then died (fairly promptly!), I began a new character and my Wilder option has disappeared.

Not sure what happened there...

Mean while on to other things:

Cunning/Survival Mastery

Trap Disarm: Learned is Learnt

Wild-gift /Call of the wild

Change to:

Wild-Gift / Call of the Wild (note capitals, do this throughout)

Meditation
???
???

This is what I see, and all 3 are the same in terms of description. Deliberate?

Wild-Gift / Summoning (distance)

Warper: arras should be harass (note the <h>)
Fire Drake: Fire Drakes a behemoths

Change to Fire Drakes, behemoths that...

Wild-Gift Summoning (Utility)

Turtle: Has the same description as the Fire Imp

Spider: As Warper

Situation...

I created a Mage, and it started with a shimmering mold and a grey mold next to her. She froze the shimmering mold, but was blinded and exited upstairs.

I rested (got sight and spell points back) and returned back downstairs. The shimmering mold was still frozen! Given the amount of time that had passed it should not be frozen.
