I don't have a problem with how they handled Open Source, but I wasn't around before DW was released. There was a promise to eventually release the source code, given some decent sales. Looks like they didn't materialize, so the promise wasn't fulfilled. I'm hoping that piracy wasn't to blame, as I'...

It was "Phobos". Gave you the choice of playing as male or female, depending on which bathroom you went into at the start of the game. Or the game ended because you didn't go because you did go, if you know what I mean. :) I went to my niece's wedding in Hickory, NC. I also know about a fa...

I'll support a second game, but "demand" is a bit much. And who knows if a trilogy is what's needed? Maybe the saga "demands" even more!
DW8! DW8! It's never too late! <keels over mid-cheer>

If you made changes to the scripts or maps, especially flag values, then DW could be getting confused using the saved data for a party that first explored one version of a place and then came back to another. I'd do my error checking with the monsters disabled, then enable them and do a run through ...

While I've been to NC, it was only once, and I wouldn't go that far for just a renfaire. Those in SoCal can instead consider the upcoming "Pirate Festival" and "Koroneburg Festival" occurring several weekends in April, May and June 2007. Website at http://www.renaissanceinfo.com/...

Yes, HGamer is back! I think I left sometime in late April or early May of 2005...

To answer your question, I think the parser allows whitespace between your entries to be any combination of spaces and tabs, but I'd make it all spaces or all tabs just in case.

I noticed something like the Adrenal Surge effect for Liches. The description says something like "bemist", and the scroll says that they do damage to themselves, but damage is done to the characters.

Paladin SP Regeneration

It seems that the Paladin, as the only Wisdom-based spell-casting class, is being gypped out of the Spell Point regeneration bonus thingies that the Arcanists and Elementalists get. - No known items to regenerate SP available to a Paladin, right? Arcanists and Elementalists have the Mage Hood. - Tri...

I tried typing in a list 3 times before, and it got lost 3 times, but I'll give it another go. However, these mismatches were checked on my evaluation version, and may not be present in the 2.01 patch (which I FINALLY have :D ): Flute: - can play when it shouldn't: Branigan March, March of Bran Harp...

Leave the number field blank after the TypeID: for new items. The ilftool will put the number in when it modifies the file.
There should be a command-line option (-w) to generate an html output file so you can see errors.

I finally got the current version from RenHall and installed it, and still have many of the same issues. For instance, one way to turn the music on when it isn't supposed to be is to save the game with no music playing, then have the Bard play something, then Load the saved game. Could be the Bard's...

I found some differences between the manual and what the game allows or disallows. I've tried entering a list 3 times, and lost the message, so I'm going to let it go for now. But remember that I don't have the current RenHall version of the software.

Troy, an evil temple would be perfect for one dungeon in my mod. Spooky mad laughter, chanting of crowds of followers, and screams of sacrificial victims wouldn't be out of place.

I still have a Bard in my primary party, and find that Branigan March does seem to improve the hit rate of the non-bugged members of the party (i.e. Str<30) vs. the tougher monsters, even at level 50+. However, some of the other songs don't seem to be very useful, and I believe that the allowed inst...
