I'd never heard of cursed properties spawning over time on cursed items, and especially not spreading to other items. I figured they just came on some pre-cursed items, and were static after that. Also, you should be able to get rid of doomed with a blessed scroll of uncurse, I think. Failing that, Mix it with holy water.

It's weird coming back to this game after all this time. I've started over and I'm doing the "fail horribly" part all over again.

I saw someone talking about how the new quest in the Ore Hack version isn't translated. That's something you can edit without touching the source code, thankfully. If you add these lines or something similar to the board_oh.txt file in your data folder, it should fix it:

Code: [Select]
%TREASUREHUNT,EN
Missing treasure:I was going sight-seeing at {map} the other day, but I dropped my precious object, {objective}! If you can retrieve it for me, I will give you {reward}.
%END
Some of the map name for the dungeon is still in Japanese though, and I'm not sure how to fix that. But at least you can tell them apart from other quests now.

Start as a human outsider, lower all your stats to "Very Low" and don't allocate skill points.

This is probably only recommended if you're a masochist who likes more grind in their games than Angband. I keep drowning trying to train swimming for some skill and stat points. :P And, if the wiki is accurate, your attributes will cap at "above average". Which seems problematic. Maybe leaving them at average to start is good enough. xD

Am I the only one crazy enough to be trying this?

Eh, I'm playing this lately, I guess. Anyone here can friend me.

The rest I could ignore for now, but it's really annoying not being able to use your bank... hopefully they magically revive them soon.

All they need to do, if they can't prevent the hax, is allow players to use Phoenix feathers on downed NPCs. Or just let us talk to them. Oh well. :/

Hm, you guys motivated me to reinstall this for the first time in forever. Though it's probably just the winter break boredom hitting. But I have a human and elf character from way back. On Alexina no less. I doubt I'll stick with this too long, but we'll see. The human is named Xandak, the elf, Theninven.

"You last played Mabinogi at 20:00 on 2/18/2010." Damn that's a while ago. xD

*amazing post-modern idea*

Wow, that sounds like an awesome game. I always toyed with the idea of having intentional glitches in a game, too, but I never thought about it with that kind of depth. A game that reveals itself to be something other than expected... I totally want one like that. Too bad that I won't want to make it myself, because it would ruin most of the fun. That's my main issue with making games, I feel like knowing everything beforehand will make it much less fun. That's half the reason my forays into game development usually use randomly-generated levels or such. The other reason is that I suck at level design. :P

Huh, the thread is still alive. And I'm getting mentioned a lot. Glad you guys like the patch. :)

Last I remember, I was toying with the idea of making Learning affect skill gain in some way (right now its only perks are a fraction of MP and the bonus points when you level). Never did anything with it though. I haven't played Elona much since then, either. Then again, maybe after 200+ hours of game time it's okay to be bored of that game. xD

what patch? aren't 1.16xmas and 1.22beta the latest stable and unstable releases? or are there community fanpatches? wheres the download site for those?

On the Elona forums, there's a long discussion about a possible java port of Elona. Somewhere in that thread people had posted bugfixes to be inserted into the original source code. Since I'd requested access to the code for my own interests, I took the time to incorporate the fixes into a patch. You can find it here: http://elona.squares.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4777&start=150#p29258

It stirred up a surprising amount of excitement over there, honestly. All I did was follow directions. :P

Some kind of survival game, preferably post-apocalyptic that doesn't involve monsters, demons, aliens etc. Mutants are fine, but nothing supernatural. Also, with needs like hunger, thirst, happiness, tiredness, etc. Preferably not a Roguelike but I'd settle for it if needs be.

Please tell me this exists and I've just missed it :P

It's probably much too simplistic for your tastes, but one that comes to mind is Schiffbruch. (German for "Shipwreck"). Not post-apoc, and a pretty simple and short game overall. But it's there, and it's free. I think I've heard that Stranded 2 is similar, but I haven't played that one myself.

* ressing for great justice

After searching the forums I found this. I only became aware of this last week but I have already found some more stuff.

There's been a flurry of updates this weekend about the new mesh editor, meaning that he is finally getting the textures sorted out. Word on the forum is that some playable demo might be availble for the end of 2011. The dev is also now working full time and his twitter account provides lots of tasty snippets on the development of the game

Ah, how could you! I saw this thread on the first page and thought it was finally released, or at least in beta. Curse yooou.  :'(

Ah, always loved Dynamic Endurance mods. Not only makes drain Endurance deadly, it prevents the perfectionist in me from resorting to min-maxing... because I know I won't be screwed over by not maxing Endurance first. I also generally add GCD so my stats go up as my skills do, Elona-style. That's personal taste though. The rest sound like Fun though, and perhaps I'll add them at some point. (Assuming I get back to Morrowind ever... too many games to play!)

Really fun LP to watch, although some of the dialogue you're plucking from the game, heck, most of the premise of this game, makes my soul hurt. What happened to the days where things made... okay, still didn't make sense, but were at least almost reasonable? And do Team Plasma really alternate between going "PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAASMA!!" and quoting Sun Tzu? Really? >.>

You might wish to notice that the people screaming are the generic mooks, while the intelligent ones with the quotes are the people higher up on the chain of command. And what exactly do you mean by reasonable?

I guess by reasonable I mean the enemy faction's goals. Team Rocket actually made sense, even if they were dumb as bricks. They were evil in the greedy sort of way. I missed out on Second Gen but by Gen 3, you had Team Aqua wanting to flood the entire world for... some reason that I forget. And Team Magma, I dunno since I didn't have Ruby, I imagine they wanted to throw the world into a drought. And now you have Team Plasma... wanting to liberate pokemon? That are actually perfectly happy where they are, mostly? I guess it's a step up from destroying the world without realizing it would make your life suck too, but seriously. Things are kinda ridiculous now.

As it's my day off and I'm bored, if you check the stream from now till 4 you'll probably see me playing random stuff. Some Mount and Blade Warband seems likely for a little while, then random whatevers. The main thing still isn't happening until 4 except by popular demand. :P

No : We will not explore Ald Redanya at level 3. If you're sending our character north to roam in Daedra infested ruins of doom and despair : Not going to happen.

Vanilla? Maybe.
But as it is, we don't want to go there with 50 health, because everything inside hits for more than 50.

That directed at me? I've never actually joined the Legion in Morrowind so I had no idea the quests started off so rough. I figured they'd be closer to Redoran's "kill the guar poachers". Carry on then. :P

I'm disillusioned with pokemon for the most part these days, though I liked Red back in the day. My favorite is still probably Colosseum, just because you WERE'NT a 10-year-old kid destined to save the world. You were an ex-criminal. It was kind of "edgy" in its own way. Besides, Miror B. was hilarious. xD
