I can't get it to work though? Unzipped the file in my downloaded files directory and tried to open the Sil exe in the folder - all I get is a bunch of black windows that don't respond to input. Do I need to unzip it directly in the c:\ directory or something?

Let us know if that doesn't work.Comment

(i) The usual decaying experience means that anything there's only one of is already mechanically special, and rewards the player more than a regular monster/item. Having a second mechanism to do what falls out of the system so naturally is a little inelegant.
(ii) They were contributing to an experience-flood towards the end of the game for some characters. This was an opportunity to nudge the balance there without too much effect on the early and mid game.Comment

For the most part I don't mind making weights come in multiples of 0.5 (instead of 0.1), but there is one place where it makes a real difference: when I am smithing, say, a shortbow, I may not be able to afford to make a 1.0 lb bow, but I might be able to make a 1.4 lb bow. Assuming I understand this correctly (always a dangerous assumption I admit), this makes a difference in the way critical hits are calculated: a 1.4 lb bow will score its *first* critical on the same roll as a 1.0 lb bow would. Second (and subsequent) criticals need more, but clearly the first one matters the most. So there is a real difference in the effectiveness of a 1.4 lb bow and a 1.5 lb bow, and a real smithing cost difference between a 1.4 lb bow and a 1.0 lb bow.
I think that when you are custom-crafting your gear, you should be able to take advantage of this sort of thing, and smith in 0.1 lb increments.Comment

Of course the idea is not meant to be that all weapons and armour are now manufactured to exact half-pound weights, but that the game doesn't bother distinguishing below this level (just as it wasn't the case before that items were supposed to come in exact multiples of one tenth of a pound).
I'll be interested to know whether you still miss this after you play with the new weights for a while.

* Only because it means you now have to manually auto-pickup ammo (unless there's a special case for ammo?Comment

EDIT: Sounds like Scatha has diagnosed this one. Anyone having this trouble: let us know whether a restart fixes it.Last edited by half; January 4, 2014, 09:49.Comment

I still cannot open the windows archive in either 7zip or WinRAR. The archive must be corrupt. Can one of the devs re-archive it, confirm that it is not corrupt and upload it to the site again? I wish to play this :3

If that particular case is too hard, then we could lower the voice cost of song of Aule (or any other song that is particularly hurt by this).Comment

If I'm offline I'm probably in the middle of maintaining Gentoo or something-Linux or other.
