Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

a) It's incredibly annoying design to force the player to sacrifice a party slot when they've made a 7 character party. Yes, this could be annoying. But you have this design also in BT2 (old warrior, princess...) b) Garth is a pacifist who doesn't fricking attack. :? He won't fight. He helps you in...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

That name is literally nowhere to be found dude.
The magic mouth in Kylearans cellar gives the hint 'only a temple wears his name".

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

A magic mouth wants the name of the dude buried in Kylearan's Cellar (honestly, the guy has a corpse in his cellar?), but....there is no mention of this person anywhere. Yes, he has built his hut above a tomb. Similar to the wine cellar - sewers thing in BT1. His name can be found in the town. The ...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

This seems to be a rather important thing that needs fixing, unless it's by design? No, I have limited the AC to -10 (L0). Having put the proper password in regarding the Magic Mouth at 6N, 5E on level 4 of the Prison, I can discern no obvious effect aside from it saying "Correct!". If th...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

You should explore all huts, at least that one which lies in the forest.

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

Oh, and the hint at 21N 21E on the 2nd level of the tower has "runin"; it's supposed to be "ruin" or maybe "ruins". Thanks for finding this typo. I assume I made a lot of them... :( Defeating the 4 goblin guards at the forest entrance (password? Pft, stand aside MFers)...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

Okay, yes or no question here: Is the password for the prison found in Mergon's Tower? :? You mean the password at the forest entrance? This can be found partly in the tower and partly in the ancient ruins (in the south of the forest; I placed a hint at Tower2 21/21). So there are two ways to enter...

Re: A New Tale - Fan Project

Tree dragons in the city? Way to wipe out a level 1 party 10 minutes after starting the game. :? These dragons sometimes fly over the city walls to attack residents and adventurers. They are the strongest monsters in the wilderness/ city, but they are loners. The monster "Gargyle" should ...

A New Tale - Fan Project

Finally I finished my new Bard's Tale story which is based on the Destiny Knight engine. Many bugs from the original game, or from the version I had, were fixed: - item-zot is working now - monsters in the party can cast, breath and launch ranged attacks now - enemy monsters can now cast spells like...

Re: Stupid Question Alert

EOR or Exclusive-OR is a logical operation as OR and AND. The C64 (6502) has the following EOR commands: EOR #$nn (EOR A with a constant value) => op code $49 EOR $hhll (EOR A with the content of address hhll) => op code $4D EOR $hhll,X (EOR A with the content of address hhll + X) => op code $5D EOR...

Re: A New Story

Yes, the dungeon you missed would help you to get in the forest (avoiding the combat with the goblin guards). The idea was that the gurads are too strong for the characters in lower level. So they have to find another way to get in the forest. "One of the four is on this level" is maybe a ...

Re: A New Story

Wow, you are really fast!



What do you think about the balancing in combat? Are the monsters too weak or too strong or ok?

Re: A New Story

Great work Darendor. These are the easiest levels, just for leveling the characters and to find the next dungeon. From now on it will be a bit harder. The bug with the traps was fixed. But the effect of the traps depends on the 'dungeon danger level' and mainly on the level of the characters and the...
