BUG - Make New Adventure, Sceptre Of Lyf

Post by 3DH »

When I select a 'make new adventure', bonuses from items in the previous game remain unchanged. For example: I should have 88 strength in the new game, because I do not wear a 'Powertowers', but I have a 98 strength.

Sceptre Of Lyf - there is no light. Light is only in the DMwin (and DM PC), but not in the CSBwin 12.8.

CSBWin is translated from the Atari Chaos Strikes Back,
not from the DM engine.

So..
1) The Atari version does not have the light.
or
2) The CSB engine does not have the light.
or
3) I mal-translated.

I am not going to investigate this further. But there
are some in this forum who are sticklers for such
details and I wager that one or more will speak up
and let us know a bit more about the problem.

Interesting.

I have no idea whether this behavior exists in the
Atari version. Anybody know?

The action 'Light' on the Sceptre of Lyf uses charges. However the only Sceptre of Lyf in the CSB dungeon, located on map 0 at 26,27 has charges = 0, so it is normal that the Light action is not available. No bug here.
If you create a custom dungeon, you can add charges and the action will then be available in the game.


See "Permanent skill and statistics bonuses" on http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/232
This is indeed a bug in the CSB utility disk (at least on Atari ST & Amiga).

I understand, thank you Christophe and Paul.

By the way, I'm not "3DM".

Google translator is sometimes funny, but it's better than nothing.
