Re: Semi-official bug tracking thread (SPOILERS)
[CONFIRMED] In some situations Ulgolek can un-recover after you restore him http://www.basiliskgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=8930 I'd been digging into fixing some bugs in the editor related to the "big" graphics (like Ulgolek) and stumbled across a fix for this, btw. Right no...

Re: Book III Character / Map Editor v1.0.0 (April 2, 2014)
Eventually, probably, yeah, once the game engine itself supports modding the appropriate files. It's probably a ways off at this point, but we'll see.Gwendo wrote:Will this editor suppor NPC and dialogue creation?

Re: Resources
I'm guessing that the game would load the original areas from datapak first, then if a modded original existed in the Mod directory it would overwrite that it. Yeah, something like that will come. We've got a private forum where we've been talking to BW about how the mod support will look, etc. Onc...

Re: Official map editor question
Although actually, since the editor is being elevated to "officially endorsed" status, I suppose there's probably no reason why we couldn't actually distribute graphic assets in the editor itself, once the game engine becomes capable of taking advantage of that. I'll be sure to bring that ...

Re: Official map editor question
Since it reads from the datapak, shouldn't we be able to open the original maps? Yeah - I actually just responded in the other thread, but to summarize here: a future version of the editor (probably 1.1.0) will probably let you load a map from the datapak. At the moment there's nothing actually-use...

Re: Resources
xolotl's editor has official approval to decrypt the datapak in order to display graphics from the game, but as far as I know no one else does. In preparation for future modding support, btw, I am planning on adding a feature to the editing tools which will let you open a "global" map fil...

Re: Are saves in version 1.0 compatible with version 1.02 ?
One thing to keep in mind for mid-game upgrades: if you've already visited a map which contains some bugfixes, then your game will not include those bugfixes. For instance, the 1.021 release makes various changes to the "Omentor Temple" map. If you've already visited Omentor using 1.00, th...

Re: Official map editor question
The "officially endorsed" editor is going to be "my" editor, yeah, and as support for more modding is added to Book III, the editor will be extended to support those things too. So we'll see what happens with all that. In terms of game assets, we'll see how that goes. Right now t...

Mercantile - Is it worth paying a trainer?
In Books 2 and 3, I've often wondered if it actually makes financial sense, in the game, to pay for Mercantile training. The gains you get are difficult to notice on an item-by-item basis, and I'd always just sort of hoped that it was working out while I shelled over my cash. The short version: Yeah...
