I narrowed the log down a bit, still no change.

More hunting for the source of the problem after the match (in 1,5h)

I've fixed bard spells and ranger/paladin spellbook.

Looks like I was sloppy; the problem is with logdisplay, but not quite as I said. The call to registerZone for logdisplay uses self.w and self.h, so it extends to the right and bottom edges of the screen, regardless of the dimensions of logdisplay itself. (For an easy way to test this, just scroll the mouse wheel at different spots of the screen; if the log display scrolls, then clicking on the map won't work.)

Moving logdisplay from the bottom to the left made the problem worse, since it now blocks the lower half or so of the screen instead of just the bottom.

Hey, I took a look at Summon Creature today as Sebsebeleb told me there was some code there I could use for an effect I was working on. And I saw that the comment said that it was kinda buggy so I wanted to pass this on to you guys.

This is from Contingency. Basically I spent all day trying to figure it out and then talked to Darkgod. Apparently we can store data on the dialog itself.


This is from the talent.

Code: Select all

		local d = require("mod.dialogs.talents.ChronomancyContingency").new(self)
		game:registerDialog(d)
		local co = coroutine.running()
		d.unload = function() coroutine.resume(co, d.contingecy_talent) end
		if not coroutine.yield() then return nil end
		local talent = d.contingecy_talent

And this is a snippit of my dialog.

Code: Select all

function _M:use(item)
	if not item or not item.talent then return end
	self.contingecy_talent = item.talent
	game:unregisterDialog(self)
end

Here's the code from Veins.

Code: Select all

d.unload = function() coroutine.resume(co, t.creature) end --This is currently bugged, only works if the player has already summoned,

I think if that was changed too..

Code: Select all

d.unload = function() coroutine.resume(co, d.creature) end

and line 316 changed from

Code: Select all

		if t.creature then

too

Code: Select all

		if d.creature then

and finally from the summon dialog

Code: Select all

function _M:use(item)
	if self.talent then self.talent.creature = item.name end
	game:unregisterDialog(self)
	
end

too

Code: Select all

function _M:use(item)
	if self.talent then self.creature = item.name end
	game:unregisterDialog(self)
	
end

That it might work better.

Anyway I hope that's useful to you guys

used to be unable to play because the game did not render properly on my 27 inch monitor. That is fixed. Issues

1. moved onto ice and could never ever get off. game over. Clicked myself for balance check. I would 'pass', but could not move off.
2. doesn't seem to be a pass turn key. in most games its 5.
3. get hunger constantly. I played a cleric. so i can make food.
4. need a way to move hotbar. I can't see. I tried using transparency, but didnt work.
5. with cleric in spell screen. you have images for spells and list. When got to level 2, I could see spells in list (from m screen), but could not highlight. I could still memorize, but had to go back to hotbar to get tooltip to see what spells did.
6. i used a cleric and 'rolled' stats. i started with -1.5 skills. is that supposed to happen?
7. cleric starts with sling but no bullets. druid starts with crossbow with no bolts. does not make alot of sense...

Stuck on ice is game ender. no way off. Passed balance check when click on self and try to mvoe and get 'reason can't move'.

about making characters. I don't know D&D very well. Seems to be the same standard as Neverwinter nights. can i build a character based on tips from there? Its hard to tell from just readng in game.

[youtoo]

is this basically the same game as incursion?

[edge2054]

is this basically the same game as incursion?

If Incursion is basically 3rd edition DnD I suspect they have a lot of similarities yes.

[jotwebe]

And since the stated motivation for creating this is "it sucks that Incursion is abandonware, so lets make a D&D roguelike for the t-engine instead" I guess similarities are even intended.

[Zireael]

Youtoo - the key to pass a turn is . (dot) or whatever your t-engine one is (lately the t-engine one overrode the dot)

And I've been trying to fix the "require 2 successes in a row" bug for ages now. No success.

And yeah, it's pretty much the same rules as Neverwinter Nights 1/2 or Incursion.

[Zireael]

Back from hols for a few days, started working on a randomized worldmap.



It doesn't do anything yet, but it generates pretty for different characters.

[Zireael]

Randomized worldmap isn't done yet, but I fixed the ASCII/tiles switch by copying the ToME code and removing all tilesets not used by Veins (i.e. shockbolt).

[Zireael]

Have access to computer and GitHub, so I'm slowly adding new egos. I'll probably work on new monsters, too.

Further work on worldmap and refining the moddable tiles will happen in roughly a week.

[Zireael]

Is there a downside to making all (or nearly all) monsters use tactical AI?

[grayswandir]

I'd imagine it's not really worth it, speed wise, if they only have a single talent.

[Zireael]

I'd imagine it's not really worth it, speed wise, if they only have a single talent.

I guess you're right, I forgot that tactical AI only deals with talents.

I've improved the AI so that the humanoid opponents use A* and I've entered the code for ranged opponents.

Next step is to come up with some function which would make them switch weapons intelligently (depending on range to the player). The range part isn't a problem, switching weapons (equip/inventory) is. Help?
