Vor Armoury (and other sites) no longer appear on map

[cainmick@hotmail.com]

Hi there, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Experiencing serious bugs with the ToME game when playing an Ogre Withering One (L41, named Barelyevil; also with an earlier 'version', L28, named Octophant, that no longer loads).

1. The latest bug is that Vor Armoury and other sites (eg Vor Pride) on the World Map no longer appear and cannot be accessed. Even knowing where they should be and moving the character to that map location no longer provides the "Change level" option on the drop-down menu. So basically I cannot proceed further in the quest. This happened after I activated the Rod of Recall to return to the Sher'Tul Fortress after clearing out the Vor Armoury treasure room (with the aim of returning to fight the muti-hued wyrms after dropping the numerous items in the storage room).

2. Once I was in the fortress, the servant worm that walks ("servant of Barelyevil) had problems. All the items in its weapons inventory mysteriously moved themselves to the Transmorgification Chest.

Other problems with playing an Ogre Withering One:

3. the L28 character no longer loads, the bar reaches 100% but nothing happens.

4. Activating Overgrowth moves objects around on the map as you "walk through walls ... causing a small quake destroying and rearranging nearby terrain". If you do this in Escort mode, and are close to the escort's portal, the Escort will no longer be able to find the portal EVEN if you clear everything between the escort to the portal using the dig function providing a clear path. Talking with the escort to reveal the location of the portal gives random directions (eg "close to the NE", close to the south, even close to ???)

I truly love ToME but bugs have prevented me from ever getting past the Far East. Please help as it is so frustrating investing so much time in developing and progressing a character to find it completely wasted.

Also, one other thing, I loved how the old ToME was all about magic and items with egos (like LOTR) but the latest versions has (more advanced?) steam powered guns and saws which I find off putting. Until I actually play Embers I wish the guns and mechanised saws and the Ambush NPC monsters that use them could be unloaded.

1. That's a sympton of the world map file getting corrupted and regenerated in its default state. It'll require dev mode/save editing to get the locations back (via either resetting relevant quest steps or directly running the script which places them, with latter being simpler usually). This can primarily happen if you have Rod of Recall set to take you to Sher'tul Fortress instead of worldmap. Don't know why it be like that but it do

2. Can't help with this one, I've never heard of that kinda bug happening

3. Please upload the save somewhere like google drive/dropbox/whatever you like and link it here for me and I'll take a look at what's going on with it. The saves can be found in %userprofile%\T-Engine\4.0\tome\save and I'll need the "charactername" folder.

4. Known issue. Don't know if it counts as a bug per-se but it shouldn't be intended. If this happens you can still at times "push" the escort to the portal spot manually.

You can turn off the Embers of Rage DLC from the addons menu on mainmenu (only applies to characters made after the change)

General hi from a first-time poster,

I can confirm the bug with disappearing quest sites. In my case it's Reknor after coming back from the East for the first time and yes, I set the Rod of Recall to teleport me to Sher'Tul, so blame on me. You mentioned editing the save to make it work again, might I ask for details? I'd be loathe to send my lv44 Halfing Oozie into early retirement. Thanks for any hint anyway.

Sorry, I try to check the forums daily but sometimes forget. Yea I can fiddle the save, ya can best reach me via the ingame chat or ToME discord
