Wait, you recolored them?
I have them done already. Confused

They're quite nice, IMO.
Wanna link? You don't seem to have gotten them.
(This is the Cobol class, but the skins *should be* included with it):
[http://www.freewebs.com/purplesquerkle/maulalot.zip]
Anyway, I looked and you replaced the wrong skins; see for yourself. There's still a fire captain in there.

Anyway, regarding the wands, the lightning ones should have fewer charges than the fireball ones, as they're harder to avoid. I realize that's not the case when a player finds them, but that's because the fireball really is more powerful in the hands of a player; monsters don't avoid things very well.

Oh, and if anyone cares, I updated my post in the WABWO topic.

Is Hunger really that broken?
Isn't it more, just... dangerous?

Zefs increased its stregth 60% and lowered the max HP depletion rate and time in this version. The sword also grants fast HP return, health drain, and poison recovery. So you are pretty almost invincible in this module.

@hiroy: Yeah, you try it with a different character using a different weapon. Confused

Alright... Yet another update. The cobols have slightly less HP now (and their captains now use the skin purple made), every single enemy gives tons of additional EXP (I doubled most of them again), the wands have slightly fewer charges, all the bows have fewer arrows (so it doesn't take as long to block all of them), and... ...uh, was it about that? Ah, well, I don't remember. Embarassed

It went quite well with my 5th-level-adventurer until I accidently blocked myself right into that chest with the tranches in it near the starting point. I wasted almost all of my life potions there (I entered the module with 7), and then died shortly after defeating the scorpion - because of the poison. Rolling Eyes

Dodging the cobols' lightnings and fireballs is actually rather easy in my opinion. Just stay at a certain distance, so the cobols only use up one charge, and then quickly walk a bit to the right (or left). They will pretty much never hit you that way. And in my opinion, the fireballs are way more dangerous - they may be easier to dodge, but they killed my rogue (with 16 life points) in one freakin' hit! Shocked

Btw, I found out why the previous file was broken - Mediafire seems to dislike ( and ). Anyway, here's the module. Download.

Yeah, with increasingly harder modules, we're going to need more stuff to counteract the negative effects of life potions.
I figure that's where fortune cookies come in; I was planning on them giving back about a third of a life point or so.

Also (haven't looked at it yet, just to warn you), did you use both of my skins, or just the brown ones?
Because I think the tan ones need to be... tanner (they look too much like the fire captains).
So, if you used my skins in the first place for the regular grunts, I'll redo them.
Otherwise, do so, please. Smile

I'll try it later.
I'd better get off the computer, though, before my brother eats me for hogging it all day.
(Yep, he's a cannibalistic monster. With fangs. And horns. And he spits venom. And fire.)

The war module I'm editing from Elf starter is coming greatly... Smile

I think I can maybe finish it tonight. Smile

Yes, it disturbs me.
Upsets my stomach and makes me feel ill.
I can't take it for much longer....

...Just kidding.

Anyway, you will want to reupload it with proper potions, won't you?

Clonkinator · Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 6:34 am Post subject:

Sigh. No, I don't want to, but I still did. Wonder

There. Proper potions (yet the mana potions still use the old script that allows everyone to regain mana - I don't have the messages 6 and 7), and cobol grunts that use your dirt skin. And no, I won't reupload it again. If anyone still thinks the mana potions are bad, go ahead and replace them yourself, I'll start working on the ash palace instead.

Final version of the hard sand palace: Download.

Now it's finished! The harder Elf starter! It's not starter, though... But still, I think it's good. Smile

EDIT: I made it so it won't be beaten at random time... Just emptied passage.txt... There was still the faerie ring, so I deleted it. Now it works as it is meant to.

Here's a few glitches Wood.

-Vampire uses Lumkin body
-Entering the module with too many items could involve the deletion of some of them.

That Vampire is Lumpkin vampire... I think Lumpkins can be vampires, too. Like humans. If vampire bites human, he turns to vampire. If vampire bites Lumpkin, he turns to vampire...

Alright, the hard version of the ash palace is done. However, I don't exactly know why, but it still feels too easy. Maybe it's because I actually managed to beat it with my 3rd-level-rogue (leather armor), using no more than 3 life potions... Laughing

Anyway, try it out yourself. And better bring a decent ranged weapon...

Download the harder Ash Palace (1.00).

That's kinda hard. But it should be harder, I think...
