Preset Player Ghosts?

Bugtesting offline, trying to find those crashes/lockups that keep happening.

No luck so far, but it's occurred to me that I don't think anybody has seen one of the preset player ghosts, which makes me wonder now if those are tied together.

So, in an attempt to see if so, I think I'm gonna go hunt for the preset player ghosts; I just want to know what the lines in the bones file mean.

Yeah, those spells are amazing, and help make blackguard more fun than warrior. But warrior gets usable archery, which actually more powerful.

Hey!

I want to pitch the idea of giving Warrior some things from Medley's new BG. I'm thinking specifically of leap and whirlwind. They could be implemented as U abilities instead of spells. I'm also thinking Warrior should get them even earlier than BG, if not level 1 because well... they're friggin warriors!

I've been thinking of ways to make playing Warrior more fun, and those two abilities certainly made BG fun for me.

What do you fellow kids think?

Then there's an error in the map. The connector should be

   V

(And terminal symbols ><^ for different map directions.)

How the map view works?

If I go down to Valley Level 40 and continue in that direction I can't go up, and things get a bit weird.

Once in the valley, the only way to go is down.

Special Levels

So it's occurred to me that I didn't see any special levels at all during my mage run, and Zabutor hasn't seen any recently either; I don't think Rolanako or Saquatch have said anything about them as well.

This is just a hunch, but maybe the problems with the level transition crashes and hang-ups are because the game's trying to generate a special level and can't because there's a problem somewhere?

EDIT: Nevermind, finally found one again; the edain encampment, East Beleriand 18.

Sorry to tell you this, but Magic Mastery *still* isn't quite fixed; I spent some time in wizard mode rolling up excellent objects that can generate Magic Mastery as a property, and it turns out that with an ideal kit and character it's still theoretically possible (but probably not practically possible unless you spend enough time grinding that you'll probably have died from carelessness or boredom) for you to break the Magic Device skill display on the character sheet. As it is now, it's still happening somewhere from 219 to 224, inclusive.

The game crashed twice in two days, after khazad.dum. When using down stairs (west) in a plain level. In the second crash I killed a player ghost before that. It was rabii

[MITZE]

Fantastic, it seems your device skill is actually so high you have broken the game. Fix in the works.

Not actually entirely fixed; I put on some more device stuff and it turned into a solid green block again at skill 175; yet even more stuff and it goes back to being a white number at skill 194.

The key for beorning shapeshift is wrong in the S command. Small bug

Thanks, fixed in development.

Also, the latest version has copied the new V feature of re-generating randarts if the file is missing, so you shouldn't have to attach that as well as a savefile in future.

Thank you!

I got a 1-9 level feeling but I don't see any valuable object. It can be triggered by an amulet of DOOM ?

The scrolls of indentify rune were created with wizard mode.

No, that'll be the cursed ring of Combat, which has a huge negative value - and object feelings are based on the squares of value.
