[b30] no teleport into "Room of Death"

#1 Post by tiger_eye »

Teleportation into the "Room of Death" shouldn't be allowed. Orcs like to teleport into there, pass their target (the player) to the OGMHWs, then use a sun infusion to blind everybody. Mass carnage ensues. The following patch disables teleportation into this room:

I'm not sure about this. Teleporting into death is/should always be a possibility. Though, I would say the passing of your location from other npcs that may or may not have seen you, teleporting into the room, whispering in dragon "the soon to be snack is over there" and then you are a snack is something else entirely...

The room is supposed to be like a vault, which under vault rules would mean no teleport.

If the player teleports into there, they may die instantly. If an enemy teleports into there, then all the enemies in that room may die. Neither possibility is desired.

This is about the vor-armoury-last map, not just any 'room of death'.
Seems a perfectly reasonable patch.

There was a bug related to darkness that DG fixed. I do not know how this will change the game related to the blindness problem.
