• For Honour Update

    From apam@21:1/101 to ALL on Fri Jan 12 11:18:06 2018
    Hey,

    I just added weapon enchanting to for honour door game. It's pretty
    basic, you can occasionally get gems from fighting monsters, then trade 5
    gems for an enchantment on your current weapon in the enchanting store.

    Due to player structure updates, if you update you will need to reset the
    game.

    I've not been able to test it thourougly yet as I'm not rich enough to
    buy a weapon to enchant just yet :)

    This reminds me is there anything I need to be aware of for Galactic Dynasty changes in the wind?

    I'm thinking of resetting the game soon.

    No I don't think there's been any changes since last game. I can't
    remember if there was things to do or not.

    If anyone has any ideas or wants things let me know (or remind me of
    things I was supposed to do) and maybe we can get them done for the game
    after this one :)

    I'm thinking of resetting the game soon.

    Sure, I think Dan won. It will be a good test to see if the game id code
    is working as expected (though I think it should be as you already reset
    it to start this game I think.)

    By the way, I accidently posted the original post in the Bot area. I
    tried to forward it to this area on Agency, but it only seems to have
    forward it for Agency and not fsxnet...

    So if anyone is wondering what Paul is quoting it's in the bot area :P

    You need to adjust the luck a bit. I've never yet at an event in the
    forest or with the wench gained anything. I've always lost luck, etc.

    Yeah I agree, the forest events I think are ok, the luck is only used in
    the fountain & dragon events so far. You need charm to impress abbey,
    which you mostly get from impressing abbey, though there is a forest
    event that gives you 10 charm if it's very low. Perhaps there should be
    some more ways to gain charm.

    The whole luck/charm thing feels a little tacked on to me at present.

    Haha you just wanted to show off your mighty empire didn't you ;P

    Nice work on getting so far in it :)

    How long did it end up taking you to reach 100% on the command ship. I
    was thinking about making that the win, but perhaps another way would be
    to have timed games and just have the command ship be a bonus in battles.

    Or if you're having fun just leave it the way it is?

    I tend to get bored when playing, so never finish all my turns for the
    day, and then forget to play, but I'm the same with barren realms elite.

    Not really... Well, maybe a little... Ok. Yes, I did... ;)

    I'm trying to remember... I think it was about 3 weeks or so to complete the command ship.

    Perhaps, have it a timed game, but the command ship could give some kind of a boost. I'm not sure if maybe increasing production, or stronger military, or even just a higher interest rate...

    Or if you're having fun just leave it the way it is?

    I've been having fun with it. :)

    I tend to get bored when playing, so never finish all my turns for the day, and then forget to play, but I'm the same with barren realms elite.

    I do love these types of games. It is always more fun when there are other active players as well. Always wondering if/when an attack may be coming, and deciding when to attack other players... :)

    Hi

    I've been working on my for honour door game today. I've just sent a new version to be hatched sometime.

    New in this version is "Other Places" lua scripted IGMs.

    Included is a basic "Two-Up" script that allows you to gamble your gold.

    I don't expect everyone will race out and write IGMs, but if they want to
    they can. There's no documentation on it, if you want to know what
    functions are available have a look in otherplaces.c it has all the ones implemented so far (Look in lua_push_cfunctions, also look in twoup.lua
    to get an idea).

    A lua script for For Honour starts with the following comment lines

    --name: Name of IGM
    --author: Your name
    --version: Version of mod

    The name is used in the other places menu, the others are used on the
    version info screen. Anything with the .lua extension inside the scripts
    folder will be loaded as an IGM, regardless of if you put those comment
    lines or not.

    If you want to write an IGM and need more functions, let me know and I'll
    look at adding them for the next version.

    New in this version is "Other Places" lua scripted IGMs.

    Installed and working fine over here on the pi BBS. I'm not adding
    anything new to the Ezycom side unless you specificaly ask me to try
    a win32 native version of something. :)

    A lua script for For Honour starts with the following comment lines

    I don't get lua. :) But I wouldn't write an IGM anyway as I don't have
    time to do anything. Currently working 6 days a week with 1 double shift
    so 7 days a week! ;)

    If you want to write an IGM and need more functions, let me know and
    I'll look at adding them for the next version.

    I will be looking into lua though, I have it "on the list" and have since
    you released Magicka.

    Cool! You're welcome, if you come up with anything let me know - or need any additional functions added, I figure I'd add them as I go rather than try to anticipate everything.
