Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Veins of the Earth beta 13 "Anyone can be a winner" released!

« on: August 29, 2016, 07:58:38 AM »

Veins of the Earth is a d20-based module for T-Engine.

The new beta is out!

Grab it from GitHub or ModDB.

The downloads are standalone, so you don't need a copy of T-Engine (ToME 4) itself.


CHANGELOG:

* bug fix - item getting equipped in weird slots
* bug fix - display gameplay tab when starting game; add confirmation for settings
* bug fix - errors when cause fear spell works on an enemy
* bug fix - no more keeping old zone name displayed for 1 turn after changing
* bug fix - no more superfluous saving throws in log with many spells
* bug fix - Lua error when increasing stats on level up
* bug fix - intro message was supposed to be colored but a typo rendered it all white
* bug fix - warning message pops up in log every time you spot a monster, not just the very first one
* bug fix - traps no longer throwing up errors

* update to T-Engine 1.4.8
* the game now counts level generation attempts and aborts after too many (default is 50)
* quests: main quest, tutorial
* achievement for completing either quest
* the game now has a win condition
* new zones: Vatic Wastes, thieves guild
* new tiles: ring, signet ring, house insignia, greaves, cave floor, cave wall
* new items: signet ring, house insignia, gloves, greaves; waterskin
* new item slots: bracers, legs; bracers are now won in the bracers slots
* Iron Will etc. now scale with character level; restore Toughness as a separate feat; fold Dodge into Mobility
* implement climbing, opening locks on chests and doors
* a generic interact with environment button (e.g. get apples from a tree)
* NPCs in noble compound now have a correct faction
* adjust many rarities
* kids' spawn is now delayed

You made the beer a trap???
Oh that's so unfair, turning beer against us. 

The beer and the trap just happened to share (a space)

Untrusted, thanks for the kind words!

In other news, I finally sat down and made a zone exclusively for testing traps. Turns out there was a TON of stupid goofs there - no wonder since those files date back to the very beginning of Veins development, when I was a complete noob in terms of programming.


The lower level of thieves guild is a maze full of easy traps. This one is under the beer

Any news when non-backers will get an update? They're still at r58 or thereabouts...

Are the maps static or randomized?

I've had the game freeze on me twice in Catacombs when resting. I think it's related to getting Regeneris Prohib

Thanks getter, for being the voice of support I can always count on.

Updated to whatever the newest ToME version it is now.
Anyway, the game now counts how many times it attempted to generate a level and bails out after too many. Currently the limit is 50. More testing is required to determine a more appropriate number.

Also, the events (random effects on dungeon levels) seem to be working AT LAST - to think I started working on them in 2013 and never noticed that the function was being called too early

I am still leery of putting a new beta out, I think it needs more testing... On the other hand, players might have forgotten there was even such a game

I like it, even though I don't prefer ASCII over tiles anyway. I just like the ability to choose

Wow, that's some cool ideas! (I love the passage of time thing!)

Is combat in or is it world generation/exploration for now?

Nice! Where's the roguelike-y stuff in this, though?

As you probably noticed, VotE was put on hiatus as I found a job and needed something less intensive to occupy my free time.

Right now the job let up a bit and I'm trying to bring VotE up to speed with all the updates to ToME that happened in the meantime

Design / Re: Item randomization

I am using rarities (aka. weights), as well as min and max level.

I think there is some code that was supposed to make "common", "ego", "rare", "greater" etc. items, but it isn't perfect and I will likely comment it out as it creates more problems than it solves.

NPCs equipment is determined by categories. Tags sound like a neat idea!

It is possible to click the grayed out classes, upon which the game crashes at the end of character creation.
