I'm quite eagerly anticipating #darkvision. Right now, my current mod is copystatting Agarthan Cave Captains to get darkvision. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Anyone else excited about the next patch?
 

I want to create a magic 'torch' item that can help counter the effects of darkness. Something that confers say, a darkvision 50 to all units in a small area around the item carrier. I have no idea if it will be possible with the new mod functions, but it might well be. It's a reasonable item that can help fight the otherwise utterly devastating effect of darkness upon some races.

I doubt the new mod commands would allow that.

Well, there's always the Forbidden Light, it'll take care of Darkness on an army-wide scale. Better have good MR though, and something godly to wield it.

Darkvision on items would cool idea for another misc eye though, I think. Rip out yer eyeball and plug in the Eye of Night Vision, get 50% darkvision, but lose precision as normal for a missing eye.

Anybody else have trouble looking at the progress page? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Anyone else excited about the next patch?
 

Yeah, it's been down for some time.

Re: Anyone else excited about the next patch?
 

True... progress page is down. Maybe Illwinter is secretly fixing some of the MAJOR bugs from the bug thread! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Anyone else excited about the next patch?
 

They'd just not update the progress page, then. It's more likely that they forgot to pay some server bill. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Anyone else excited about the next patch?
 

It's probably down due to them being off on the Christmas/New Year holidays and all (or some) of their stuff being switched off. The progress page would be down in that case due to where it resides.
