This may be an old topic, but I never found anything about it:

when bards level up, do the effect of their songs increase?
It looks like a low level bard that plays that song that lowers AC has a -1 bonus in the beginning and now I seem to be at -3 AC bonus (lvl 23 bard)

I've been looking into VB 2010 the past few days.
I had a lot of fun while writing this:

not much yet, but it's a start :lol:

ow... since it's written in vb 2010, you'll need .NET 4.0 :roll:

EDIT: I should also mention that you can ...

I'm certainly self-educating.
If I have to follow a beginners course, things will move to slow for me and I'll get terribly bored.
If I follow a course for more advanced users, I'll miss a lot of basic knowledge and won't be able to follow and get bored too :)

I very much like learning things at my ...

LOL! With great determination and motivation I set out this morning to download and install Visual Basic 2010 Express, determined to create my own calculator...

Big disappointment tbh, way to easy... I guess I have to be a bit more ambitious when programming VB.

Why do easy questions alway have difficult answers? :)

You're right ofcourse, Maven. When looking around on the internet, I pretty much run into the same questions.

I guess I just need something to satisfy my curiosity. At this point, this may very well be creating a small calculator, or some GUI ...

Thanks for the suggestion.
Personaly, I seem to prefer VB 2010 and C#4.0

Any programmers out there?
I find myself interested in learning a programming language, besides vbscript which I know a little already...
What programming languages are being used these days? c++,c#,java?
I can have access to the latest tools to learn almost any language. I just need to decide which ...

A question about monks:
on the first page of this thread, Maven gave an overview of the items and the damage that weapons do. Is there any data on the damage that monks do with no weapons equiped (i.e. dice rols) and how this increases when they level up?
I understand how their DEX increases their ...

That is awesome stuff! where did you get that?

So for calculating the prices, I assume you have to do the following:
28h 00101000 5*10^0=5
78h 01111000 15*10^0=15
41h 01000001 8*10^1=80
19h 00011001 3*10^1=30
11h 00010001 2*10^1=20
39h 00111001 7*10^1=70
12h 00010010 2*10^2=200
...

Interesting ...

Sell all the halbards and plate armor and buy shiny stuff at Garths

I hadn't noticed that yet on the samurai statue and I killed quite a few when leveling up chars... I'll keep an eye on it as well.
I assume this is the DOS version, right?

I had been looking at that as well.
First I thought that if the high order bit was set, the item didn't have to be equiped in order to use it.
quick tests showed that this is not the case.
It might be that it has no meaning at all. Maybe it is something left over from other versions.

Just adding this info here, though it's not related to any of the previous...

at $26FE6 in the extracted bard.exe:
E8 03 D0 07 A0 0F 58 1B 10 27 20 4E

I believe this to be the cost of the spells in the review board.

E8 03 is in fact 03 E8 which is 1000
D0 07 would be 07 D0 which is 2000
A0 0F ...

In the Items & Monster specs post in the developers heaven, there is an overview of the items and their specifications in the DOS version.
The second column of the list contains the on use specifications
This byte seems to contain info about who it affects (single target, group, self,...) and the ...

And here's the script:
Dim objFSO, objCodedFile, objTextFile
Dim strCharacter
Dim strHuffVal
Dim strCount, tmpCount, tmpFreq1, tmpFreq2
Dim arrHuff(255)
Dim arrHuffVal(255)
Dim arrHuffChar(255)
Dim arrHuffNewVal(255)
Dim arrHuffLeftChild(255)
Dim arrHuffRightChild(255)
Dim arrHuffNewLeftChild(255 ...

Succes!
I managed to complete my script. It can now create a Huffman tree out of a txt file using vbscript :)
When I launch my script on the example text I used above, I get the following result:
SYMBOL WEIGHT HUFFMAN CODE
46 1 001110
72 1 001111
73 1 100010
84 1 100011
100 1 100110
114 1 100111 ...
