New Temple+ Available

My guess is that this one was done on purpose. When playing D&D you can't move between 5 and 10 feet. However because TOEE does not use a grid you can move between 5 and 10 feet. They probably decided that the intention of the charge rule was that you move more that 5 feet.

 

+1 to 10' charges.

 

I did a skim through with the search function on charge last night and nothing jumped out at me for where the min distance is checked for charge attack in c++, otherwise I would have fixed it myself. It might be hidden in dll hell. :/

 

Looks like 100959B0 (chargeAttackAddToSeq) is where it is done. I can make the change since everyone seems to be in favor of it, I don't think it will be too hard.

 

Another issue found - Inflict spells are treated as ranged touch attack, not melee. Easy fix in T+, will provide with next commit.

I guess no one used Wand of Inflict Light Wounds, but my Cleric does from level 2 and onward. Great spell, touch attacks goes vs touch AC which is almost always small in monsters.

So my lv 2 Cleric has +3 attack (+1 bab +2 str) vs 11 touch AC, which is 8 to hit by dice roll, meaning 65% hit.

In comparison lv 2 Barbarian has +6 attack (+2 bab +3 str + 1 wf) vs 20 AC, which is 14 to hit, meaning 30% hit.

 

After playing KotB for a while, I switched back to ToEE. Since activation of ToEE in place of KotB, I have noticed a few changes. In particular, reactive temple does not happen. I wiped out the Earth Temple, and when I landed in the room that the Air Temple "reacts" to, all I found was the air elementals. As I explored lvl 2 further, the Troll animal trainers were in their "training grounds" with the animals.

Great job guys!!
This release is required for Shattered Gates module.

 

Temple+ 1.0.82 is now available. Here are the change.

* Hotfix for charge attack bug

 

@anatoliy
Why is T+ 1.0.81 or .82 needed for Shattered Gates?

 

An older bug I have not read about yet: when returning to Nulb with Otis for the first time, he leaves the party, and you can recruit him for the second time if spoken with any of the high priests.
When leaving, he attempts to go to his anvil but usually is stuck in the street.
If his location is reset (e.g. you enter and exit your house), he is placed next to his outdoor anvil or into his shop, depending on time, and his armor and sword are duplicated in his inventory. This is annoying because they are not droppable, take up space and a lot of carrying weight.

 

Interesting issue:

I first starting using Temple+ back in June and I downloaded TemplePlusSetup_v1_0_77

I rolled up 5 new characters and I have been playing them since that time. I am now in Nulb and moving forward in the game with these 5 characters. I am not using any of the pregenerated characters.

I have the automatic update activated, so now I have v1_0_82 installed.

If I click on Start New Game, only 2 of those 5 characters are in the list of available characters.

Where did my other 3 characters go?
