Re: Bt Builder

Oh and dulsi, I really need a X Rounds Per X Level +/-N spell duration. I really wanted to refactor monsters to give more attacks but that has proven more difficult than I initially expected. I was thinking about this request and how ugly it would be to implement. It occurred to me I was thinking a...

Re: How entering Kylearan Tower?

... maybe I have to get the Eye again from the Catacombs? And do so every time I leave Kylearan? Yes. You've got to get the Eye again to "activate" Tarjan and get yourself teleported to Kylerean's Tower. Here's a trick - and fair warning that it IS a cheat (really an exploit of the way th...

Re: Should I convert charakters to BT2?

Hi Folks! Does it make sense to take the victorious charakters after killing Mangar into BT2 regarding the balance in the first dungeons? Do the enemys also getting stronger, or do I have to face hundreds of very easy, very boring fights until the higher dungeons? Yes, it makes sense to import BT1 ...

Re: Bt Builder

I did see your bug. I believe I know why the save game doesn't restore the monster. I just haven't gotten to it yet. Excellent! Obviously all of us have been busy with other stuff, so no rush. I know on my end this is the same "second half of the spring semester" issue as last year: I'm r...

Re: Bt Builder

Hey Dulsi, Haven't downloaded the new version just yet (trying to keep the versions - and the bugs I find - "straight" while I'm working on my modules). Soon, though... I HAVE found a new bug, and this one's kind of big! Apparently the "Save Game" feature does NOT save "spec...

Re: Bt Builder

Put out a new release of btbuilder. It probably has the same bugs. The main reason for the release is fedora 28. btbuilder started failing in rawhide, the development build for fedora 28. It should have all the new images. Let me know if I missed any. (I started refactoring monsters to have more at...

Re: Bt Builder

Update: Yep ... I still get the issue. While the rewards screen is displayed, if I hit any key (I think I tested it by hitting one of the arrow keys) it instantly starts a fight with nothing. One other thing ... when casting spells, I occasionally get a "result" that looks like the name of...

Re: Bt Builder

Incidentally, the module you've been playing is really just kind of a plain "epic" dungeon crawl without much overarching story (at least by my standards). In fact, more than anything, it's just a test of concept for my random dungeon generator (and how easy it is to "throw together s...

Re: Bt Builder

Love it! Definitely got a place for him... Got a werebear and the skaven (wererat) image for you too. I could post them, but honestly, I'd be releasing like 6 or 7 images. If you want to save yourself the trouble, edit your image-tag xml and pad to 392. 392 is the werewolf image. Then, update all y...

Re: Bt Builder

Okay, a few observations based on playtesting... 1. The ability to put it spell point regen delays into bard songs worked as planned. Very nice. (I know it's been in a for a while, but this is the first time I've kind of tested it, and it seems to work exactly as expected.) 2. Regarding tags and dam...

Re: Bt Builder

Got some Hydras for you, Caars. ;) Ha ha ha! Which means now I have to remember whether or not there are already hydras in my module (and if not, put them in ...) Actually, I've also been working on one near and dear to my heart (that is designed to feel much more like classic D&D than "ba...

Re: Bt Builder

This is about to drive be batshit insane: Here's the entire contents of my song.xml file (trying to tweak the bard songs, and learn how to change around what they do). Looking at this, can somebody explain to me why Cain's Carrack doesn't show up on the list of available songs for my bard to play?! ...

Re: Character roster not saved?

Hi I have an issue with save games in The Bard's Tale 1 (1985): the character roster is always reset when I exit and re-enter the game.  I bought the new version of BT on Steam with the old 3 classics included.  When I start the first one, it asks me to import characters or to start BT GS and then ...
