ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Any reason aside from being undead the blood of life wouldn't work?

I drank it on my Dunadan Mage and got...

[LOG] The Blood of Life seems to have no effect on you.
[LOG] Radagast quaffs the Blood of Life!
[Identify] Blood of Life true
Total encumbrance 55.1
[LOG] You have no more #FFFF00#Blood of Life#LAST#.

Humm... did you maybe already quaff the BoL with this char before? There seems to be some issues with random-artifact appearing multiple times if they're not "in possesion" (happened to me after I sold the ring of war master. I found it later a second time, dunno for the BoL).

Just a guess... ^^

Nope.

With a previous incarnation of the character I did (two characters before this one) so perhaps it's possible there was cross contamination from the previous character?

My hobbit summoner just found the blood of life in the trollshaws.

"The Blood of Life seems to have no effect on you."

Did it happen to be a recreated character? That's the only thing I can think may have happened to mine (previous character with the same name drank it and the game got confused).

Either that or it doesn't have a 100% chance of working.

It's 100% and recreating a char should not affect it. When you start a game the old savefile is deleted and the whole lua state is rebooted.

I cannot fathom how it happens.
Somebody with a debug console activated can you try to do:
=game.player.undead
and
=game.player:attr("undead")

as soon as this happens again ?

Is the debug console available in the mac version? I can see "Show lua console" in the keybinding screen, but nothing happens if I try the key for it..

Does it need to be compiled in, or is it something I can enable by editing one of the data files?

Hmm, must be my lucky day: just found the BoL in the trollshaws with my new dwarf summoner. I trecked to Bree, identified it, and then saved and backed up the save game.

It's now had "no effect" twice in a row..

Ahh ! please send it to me

Ok, try https://sites.google.com/site/jfouhy/Jay.tar.gz .

But .. but .. it works here :/

Are you on linux / windows / osx ? 32/64 bits ?

AHHHHH thanks to the patience of Repton I found the problem.

It was REALLLLLL weird

It's now fixed for beta10, if you want to fix it yourself until then:
Add this line: Just after this one (at line 170): in the file game/engine/PlayerProfile.lua
