Patch Questions

Ahmo · #1 October 30th, 2002, 01:34 AM

In my playing I've noticed that temporary bonus's from potions stack (i.e. drink three st. potions and gain 60 tmp Strength), and that if you buy and equip an armor or item that you normally can't due to status restrictions, you can with the temp bonus's. The problem is that when the bonus's run out, the eqipment stays equipped and you keep the defense bonus. Is this addressed in the patch?

Also, is there a way to edit the length of time a torch burns. My fighter really dislikes carrying 12 into a cave just to clear 1 floor... I can't find the location in any of the files that refers to item properties. Anyone figure out where it is? Or is this fixed/adjusted in the patch?

Thanks All,
Ahmo

Another question:

Will it fix the crash to desktop when you try to run the game that some people experiance???

I can't see this fix listed anywhere in previous patch reports!!!

About the torches...

Look in the Main_ItemClasses.txt file in the data folder of your favorite module

do a search for 'torch' and below the name there is a line that looks something like this..

Light Number of Turns := 120

change the 120 to a higher number and that should make them Last longer. If you take the time to view the other data lines, you will also notice that you can modify many other aspects of the torch, weight, light radius, etc.

Hope this helps, (oh, and be sure to backup any files you modify, it's just good practice!)

Cheers!

Ah, learnded grasshopper sees... It was in the "TILES" folder though, not DATA. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I would never have looked in the module tiles directory.

Any new word for us on the status of the public release of the patch? The peasants are restless for a breadcrumb.

I just managed a complete run through the newest beta patch. From the beginning of Crown of the Magi to the end of the new module. I expect it will be released this week.

Patience Grasshopper, do not make wind, let the wind come to you! (an old joke, and it still stinks!)

Cheers!
