Would it be difficult to 'enable' the Elf & Dwarf Shoppes? There's a number of interesting items that appear to be only available thru one of those shoppes, yet AFAIK those shoppes were never enabled/made public. AFAIK these shops were not implemented: I tried logical values for special events ...

Don't abuse Diit's Dirty Deeds : it has a tendancy to flat-out what should otherwise be tough fights.

That reminds me: I have to find time to pursue my goal of cleaning the scripts.

Let me check... 73 done ... 540 to go ... Ouch!

Yup; NAT stands for Number of ATtacks.

Yup, it's tough at the start, but it gets better. I just checked my party: I stuck out with 7 (Mon, RCl, Pal, Brd. Rog, Arc and Iso). A Bard is a must-have (if only for BT nostalgic value). Edit: the Rogue gets very good too, when you have the high-level assassinate skills (can't remember the name).

My hopes are getting a little higher.

I've already got a list of bug-fixes requests (giveBP being the most prominent one) for the time the source is released...

On the other hand, I HAVE to find some time to pursue my project of fixing the scripts. Maybe I should quit my RL job first ???

Seriously, I thought the devs put some serious protection spells on their scripts? :? :o Actually no; their main protection is the profusion of flags and my limited Python skills. Err, their only 2 protections are the profusion of flags, my limited Python skills and my lack of time (read lazyness)....

Ha! Only after writing my long post in the other thread did I think to read this one... Well good luck for what comes after. If you've still got questions don't hesitate to ask; I've played the game not too long ago so my memories are still somewhat fresh. Plus I've looked into a lot of the scripts,...

Hi guys. Sorry I've been away for a while. When you start in Rennibister, you have 2 things to do: -The Hero's Cloak mini-quest: you meet some guy (Aldorik I think) in the tavern near the city gates, then meet him in his house south-east of town. I think that's the one you're doing. -The main quest:...

Thanks.

I intend to do the former (beginning with The Hobbit, as I did when I was 10), but the 2nd one will be more difficult (on a C64 at least; DosBox will have to do).

Of course, that will not help my script-cleaning activity... :)

Typo cleaning

Yo everyone. I've finished correcting typos in the items file. I've started working on the scripts; not much yet, but I've modified 2 scripts in Tales of the North to account for missing items (strange request and ceremonial drape). I'll plod through the 600 + scripts at my laaazy pace, so hold your...

I only use a few skills, but repetition (unlimited, as it is, since the # per day limitation doesn't seem to work) of the Saurian's wild charge can take care of a group of monsters; the bard's and paladin's buffs (bless and enchant weapon) are very useful too; 'tis sad that greater enchant is buggy ...

Nope; I'm in the process of cleaning the items file (typos mainly), but with the end of holidays, the children to take care of, and various house chores, there's a scarcity of free time...

If I'm not mistaken, the skills progression doesn't match the manual for most classes (and some skills don't work properly).
