One more reason to release the source! /deadhorse

What are your active quests? Maybe you missed one of the in-between steps? Can you zip up a copy of your save file and post it here? Then we should be able to tell for sure what's wrong. If you click the version number of the game at the launch screen, it should tell you where your saved game files ...

Glad you enjoyed it! Book II is significantly longer than Book I, so I'm not surprised you're still working through it. The popular opinion is that Book III is the shortest, but it has the most fan-made expansions. People have been typo-hunting on here for years, but I'm not surprised there are stil...

You could pull the content out of the game files pretty easily, I think. One of the files in the Book I distribution is just a renamed zip file (is is still called datapak in Book I?). You can unzip it and look at the text files inside, one of which has the books in it.

There's no way to move points once you've placed them. 5 in both of those skills is perfectly reasonable, though.

Any end game character you can look up to? I think you're asking for an example of an end-game character. If so, check out the ones in this thread: http://basiliskgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=707 Maybe start at the end since many of the early images are broken now, and people didn't start posti...

Hm. Unfortunately I don't have a Mac copy of Book I, but I have a few follow-up questions that may help us get closer to the problem. It looks like you're running version 1.06, which is the latest. Did you purchase it direct from Basilisk Games, or from a third party like Steam? What version of Mac ...

As I mentioned above, there is a map editor, although it's not official. It's pretty full-featured.

Namely, open sourcing means I lose all control over the software, and it will be impossible to protect the code form being re-skinned and re-sold as a new game. This bit doesn't have to be true. You can choose a non-commercial license for the code. And of course, I assume you wouldn't offer license...

Some of the regulars around here have been asking about open-sourcing the engine for some time. I guess it couldn't hurt to ask again now. How's about it, BW?

The only way I'm aware of anyone creating mods is by building new maps with xolotl's editor . In Book I/II, you can only make "savegame mods," which are most safely applied just after creating a new character but also give you the ability to make custom items. In Book III, we got official mod suppor...

If you post a saved game here, we should be able to tell if it's your save or your game.

That's my recollection as well. You need to get the skills on your character sheet, pre-item bonus. Books and trainers definitely work.

The solution to "See Remotely" is

[+] SPOILER

stand in the north corner of the room and cast Supernova. High-enough level Reveal Map will show a red dot next to a green dot off the screen in that direction. Red = powder keg and green = switch, so blow the one with Supernova and you flip the other.

Any idea whether it's real-time or turn-based/pauseable while you queue up actions?
