I am afraid, the creatures do not heal over time. So your dragon is close to pushing the daisies

aha. Thanks

well, I don´t. Should I google it or are you willing to explain a bit more?

erm, Cows, you renewed it just now for 5 more years..Just in case, can you cancel that if the forum would move?

ok, have to look into this a bit more. Thought all items where packed next to each other in one great graphics file edit: the thread HOW TO by MonFulIr deals with graphics, it is really a helpful read; almost qualifies as tutorial (page one;text by Sophia) as a sidenote: (I do not know how to post a...

I guess bad luck is nothing you wait for to happen it just happens when you are not careful or least expect it. Probably that is. Anyways, maybe it is also more of a mystical thing: On day x you should not do y. prolly people agreed on something over the course of time to worship gods or what not. l...

ah ok, then all is fine. ;) THank you for the answers to virtually every question I had! :shock: ^___EDIT: I meant this is really great!!!!!!!!!!!:D Does there already a table with item properties exist? Someone requested this back then...Gambit? why a table? in case of the magic sword which is buil...

This is really a nice article and sheds some light on how FTL worked and what problems they encountered. Different times!!
Also you get to know a bit about the persons themselves as well as funny bits and pieces.

At the same time FTL released with Oids an action title of epic porportions. Wayne opinion on this: " we want to stay open towards every direction and do not at all want to nail ourselves down to RPGs alone. Dan HEwitt wanted to program an action-game for us really badly, so we had started the ...

just noted that this moonstone question was the wrong tutorial! So if I put a cloak of night on the neck the displayed dex is displayed in ESB without this bonus, but in DSB it would be adjusted. OK. Maybe a little headline would help, saying that stat enhancing items will give their bonus at launch...

At the same time there are couple of companies in San Diego that attend to highly modern Computer- technics. It is there, where you can meet the developers of a new Roleplaying System which makes good use of the capabilities of 16-bit computers at optimal level. We are talking about FTL Games, the c...

in ad&D there was a spell improved invisibility (eye of the beholder2?)
You could attack and stay invisible, hard to find spell really. But it had still short duration..

puh. You probably mean level 6? ;) Mace of Order is out! So brandish it maybe is not the strongest fear attack out there. Staff of Manar has it not, I think but the Snakestaff does. amyways I think confuse is only available by hacking on the conduit or maybe we should look it up at the csb-ency. oh ...

calm is probably the weakest "make monster run away" attack. I think it works on Trolins, or should work with them.(low level monsters) beo is right in mentioning the priest level, it has to be high enough for the effect to carry over. (horn of fear/blow horn is also a fear - attack.. but ...

captions: lightning fast to the top They feel anywhere at home, be it in deep dungeons or on the surface of alien planets: The programmers of FTL, who struck two 16-Bit-Hits with Oids and DM How should the Dungeon look like? The Dungeon Editor of FTL Battle with the paper streamer(ed:in german this ...

second part of part 1: What means FTL after all? The acronym FTL is sheer exaggeration. It stands for "Faster Than Light" and the programmers form FTL are surely not faster than light. But the time of wait is paying off: All past games so far were very good. Even today, when thinking about...

Nice find, Christophe. The one article I already new from ages past gone! ------------------- Almost the complete FTL-crew on display Since the publishing of "Chaos Strikes Back", the Softwarehouse FTL is being talked about again. Michael Hengst spoke with the President Wayne Holder, Marke...

it depends on the level you are on. The Sword I rather like, but you get it at the stupidest spot in the game if you do not choose Sonja. One enemy later there lies an Axe..oh well. Rapier is definitely cool. It is made for the worms.. I equipped my party of four with darc armor, lite armor for fron...

Gambit, do you work with 256 colours (only)?
why not use regular 32-bit PNGs?

wow.

That is a cool find!

I kinda like it

It might be negligible(more so nowadays) but what about loading time? Disk accessing et cetera..
Which version did start up the fastest?
Amiga or Atari ST ^^

Tested a bit around in sculptris, it is definitely nice. The painting mode is especially cool. Thanks for pointing there, linflas :) But I do think it bears the danger of getting lost in detail! it crashed twice :/ also it seems you only have a single clay ball to fiddle with...have to get more into...

I would not want to get touched by one of those! *shiver*

The problem with miniatures is the side views or attack view. I really think these have to be altered to get convincing results. But this could depend on the creature. THe deth knight is fine by having side front and back miniature-like static. But what if you need the attack frame? You have to use ...

the thing is, would it help to have creatures like http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/5747/snakewk.th.gif in 3D and then render different perspectives? What is the way to go, what benefits most people here? What gives the best results? where to start? I am asking this , because spore creature progra...

I vividly remember a key flying through a portcullis and hitting a screamer. Was not in total vain, but end of game.

of course you are right , beo
is it a dead end when you cast a poison cloud with low health and "not die" while watching a mirror of a champion?
