Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

And if I recall right, items that are used in combat such as a Flame Horn simply cast a particular spell, is that right?
Correct! They cast a particular spell but have different memory-tables (e.g. range, damage...)

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

And how'd you manage to modify the spells? Each spell or spell-group has its own code and in addition there are some memory-tables for spell point cost, damage, range and so on. If you want to change a spell, you have to use the 'code-slot' from another spell and write your own code. If you just wa...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

In particular, how'd you import the BTI images and dungeon walls/doors?
All images from BT1 and BT2 have the same format. So it's only copy and paste. In detail, there are also to set some bytes e.g. for background color of the image/dungeon or to assign a dungeon level to a dungeon grafic.

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

Oh. Well might I propose "Crypt Ghoul" instead then?

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

Do you have any idea how annoying those are to map out?
I know. :D
I've made my way into the Crypt level 1, and there's a monster called "Ancien Ghoul". "Ancien" should in fact be "Ancient".
First time no typo. There are only 14 digits for the monster names...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

On Fortress level 3, at 12N, 2E the hint says "Ask him". Ask him what, exactly?

It's a bit too vague. Is it meant to simply guide the party there?
Find him and he will tell you his story. This is just a hint as in BT2 'ask the wise of...'.

And thanks again for all the corrections!

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

What exactly am I meant to accomplish here? There's no item to get or anything, so.... :? You have to find the figurine of the goblin god in order to get access to the fortress of the goblin king. This figurine can be found in the room with the high priest. - it's a bit silly having the Novices cas...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

So you did it into the temple. I thought this would be very difficult to go in? - "advances" should simply be "advance" - The comma after "Intruders" should be an exclamation point, with the following word "kill" being "Kill" (as written, it sounds l...

I found a weird tavern place called McFly. I presume this is it?
No, McFlys is just for low level adventurers to get some hit points back...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

I presume the entire point of the Cellar/Tomb was to acquire Lightbringer?
Only partly. After finishing the tomb, you should have enough hints to find the entrance of the temple (next dungeon). Let me know if you need some help because this is a bit difficult.

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

The power level is not the same, because getting to Archmage level 7 is a lot harder than getting to Wizard level 1. The fact that FOFO and NILA do the same damage - range notwithstanding - is ridiculous. I suppose you mutilated MAMA as well? Yes, MAMA do 18-72 damage. I think you're right. An upda...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

An easy way to leave the dungeon is to simply cast APAR to the first level stairs and exit. Teleport trap not required. You're right. APAR works if you have enough spell points. And I was referring to the non-combat effect of ZZGO. Hell, you nerfed a bunch of other high-level combat spells, just ne...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

I gave up on the Spectre. The spectre is just an encounter. No need to fight. And you're a horrible person for putting the teleport beside the stairs after the undead guards. "Oh something special is near, what's th-" TROLOLOLO you're teleported back to the beginning of the dungeon. :? So...
