New Temple+ Available

So while working on Worldmap UI function replacement I was reminded of this. Indeed this goes back to at least 2007:

Somewhere along the line someone swapped the Temple Level 3 map (5078) with the caravan map, which causes the game to think you're in the Temple. This conflicted with the state keeping of how far along the original path you were and could cause the hang (but not always).

Should be finally fixed in the next version.

 

Added hotseat multiplayer for next version

 

DM mode option to control NPCs, so you can have a friend sitting next to you control them more intelligently than the AI.

Add my bug reports from this thread to the bug list.

Also, the game hasn't tracked racial hit dice - most notably from hill giants & trolls - when making characters. There's no ability to make up for the skills and feats for the 6 racial HD of a troll, for example. Also, racial hit dice don't count toward avoiding death from negative levels - most notable when giving Oohlgrist a Holy Pole.

BUG: By 3.5 RAW, new wands have only 20 charges when they should have 50. Maybe some tired Troika dev mentally flipped 2 and 5.

 

Are you sure about that? I recall fixing that a long time ago.

 

Found wands certainly have 20; I def recall crafted being 50. By new do you mean found or crafted?

 

Oh, I guess he means wands from shops and drops. I have no intention of changing those.

 

If you follow these straightforward instructions:

You can give existing wands any number of charges you want - including limitless. This is certainly well below Sitra Achara's pay grade.

BUG: Swift Ambusher (feat) doesn't progress Skirmish damage for purposes of meeting prerequisites, like for Improved Skirmish. In-game, Swift Ambusher stacks Scout & Rogue levels for Skirmish damage & AC.

The feat Swift Hunter also needs this patch.

 

I'll look into that one.

 

Running into periodical crashes in the Earth Node. Happened once on entering, once on an Earth Elemental emerging from the ground during combat.

 

Thanks. Did you have more crashes there other than those two instances?
I've been getting more and more crash reports lately which all seem to stem from game object corruption (yours are no different as far as I can tell) and I'm looking for a way to reliably reproduce them, so if it's a fairly regular occurrence it would be very helpful.

 

I indeed had another crash like this upon first entering the Water Node, but it does not seem reproducable, while those on entering the Earth Node are fairly common (4 out of 10 attempts I just did for testing purposes). None at all otherwise (save for that one Random Encounter map issue I had reported earlier this year).
