Re: Semi-official bug tracking thread (SPOILERS)

I will follow up on the link, thanks xolotl (what does that stand for anyway?) No problem, good luck. "Xolotl" is a pretty presumptuous handle, actually: it's an Aztec god of lightning and death . In the end I'd have preferred to use a fully-unique name, but I've got this name in a number...

Re: Defense strategy for a Mage?

But what is a good defense strategy for Mages? I wear some light amor and I think spells like Leatherskin will help later (unfortunately I haven't found such a spell yet). It sounds like you're using Elemental magic, so I can wholeheartedly recomend the "Dazzling Flare" spell. It's a real...

Re: Semi-official bug tracking thread (SPOILERS)

First off, I am the LAST person anyone should talk to about what goes on inside computers!!! I dust out the inside once a month but other than that, I cannot recall even how I installed the RAM 8 years ago! You should be able to find some software to monitor your temperature; a google for "osx...

Re: Semi-official bug tracking thread (SPOILERS)

Okay, this is probably a bug with my computer, not the game... I actually wonder if your machine could be overheating. The rain animations probably put more strain on the graphics card, and maybe Book III is simply "heavier" in that respect.. What other games work okay? Eschalon does take...

Re: Book III Character / Map Editor v1.0.1 (April 16, 2014)

BTW, SS and xolotl might want to add something about this (along with the whole hidden folder issue) to the online Mac documentation for the Editor. Just a suggestion... Yeah, indeed, that should get added there. Also I should really take a look at the Mac bits of the preferences code to figure out...

Re: Getting Ambergris or Willow Bark in Late Game

The items, and number of items you get while foraging is determined only by your Foraging skill and the amount of time you've spent camping. What area you're in doesn't affect it at all. It's true that at higher levels of Foraging, you're more likely to get the more expensive reagents, so if you wan...

Re: Eschalon Trilogy Post-Mortem

I should have switched over to a new engine after Book II and made a different game, and only now be starting on Book III with a fresh engine. I suppose hindsight is 20/20... I might be misremembering this, but I seem to remember you mentioning after Book II that you were looking forward to not hav...

i guess someone already replied 148 earlier & that's not a 4 digit code. im not that bad in maths :oops: There's nothing stopping you from putting three digits in a four-digit input box... This is actually the same situation as your question about the tomb from the Mystery of Rockhammer Mine mo...

@xolotli i was asking for the code of base entrance :lol: im still outside stuck on the graveyard :lol: Oh, oh! Sorry, I misunderstood. I'd assumed you were stuck at the "7!" lock, which you'll run into much later. For this one: The hint mentions "The sum of your luck." Another ...

Re: Book III Mod: The Mystery of Rockhammer Mine

Yeah right. But its not 3160 neither 6130 That's because "3160" means "Three thousand, one hundred and sixty," whereas "316" means "three hundred and sixteen." If you put a zero at the end of a number, you're changing the number. There's somewhere else you co...

Re: Book III Mod: Alchemist's Tower in Moonrise (update 4/11

Thanks xolotl . i really appreciate your help :) Now, the thing is that how come 7! matches with the hint 7.9.17.22.........? & where from this came in 7*6*5*4*3*2*1 No problem! Anyway, those two are actually unrelated: The tombstone which reads "Your lucky numbers this week: 4, 9, 17, 22,...

Re: Book III Mod: Alchemist's Tower in Moonrise (update 4/11

i tried my best & spent many hours already without results. After getting the code i'll reconsider why i couldn't figure it out. To expand on DGZeya's last hint: "7!" means "7 Factorial," which means to multiply 7*6*5*4*3*2*1. (An asterisk is most often used to denote multip...

Re: More questions that might be spoilers... please help

Hey Troy, sorry to bother but you are needed again. In Rockhammer Lvl 3, I forgot about a place I came upon and could not get into. the coordinates are X=48 Y=55. There is a whitish rock monolith blocking a little hideaway where it looks like 2 spiders reside. I have tried kegs, Fireball, Supernova...
