FINISTERRAE version 2.3

[Duncan1246]

The "game hangs while resting" bug that I mentioned earlier happens under Win 7, too.
It happens in Under Waste, just like it did under Linux + Wine.

I have found the bug: a condition in the elevation process was false, so the WorldPositionY was highter then the elevation expected and the script loops infinitely even if all final positions are correct. I don't know exactly why it's linked to the rest state (time function involved but how?).
I have tested your save after the bug fix and unfortunately the bug occurs on rest even out of Underwaste; it's always possible to play and to save, but never to rest... I will upload tomorrow a new version... I am sorry of that ... in the testing process, I haven' t took any rest, I was wrong obviously .

When resting, time passes 10 times as fast as normal.
You should never assume that a minimum or maximum amount of time has passed since the last frame. The user could be resting with a bad framerate, they could have disabled the framerate limit with a fast computer, etc. It is vital that you scale all once-per-update behaviour (moving objects, flickering lights, etc) by Time.deltaTime() and you should be ready for that function to return ANY number that isn't negative or infinity.

So I understand what happens: I use a delayedCall to loop the elevation process until a given elevation, but as the limit value (that stops the loop) was wrong, the process continues and is fastened by the rest state as you say, and causes memory crash.
Thanks!

Boss fights:
The boss name (displayed at the top of the screen) can contain spaces.
Currently, all boss fight names have underscores instead of spaces, e.g. King_of_Waste

Wineskins:
The description says "Restore 25 energy"
-- it should be "restores" instead of "restore"
-- drinking from it also restores the food bar; maybe you could put this information in the description?

The secret door is destroyed after opening (if not, it make a new weird door to the temple above), so after that the button call a door which is gone. Added: a one shot condition

I have seen also the issue with the power gem and I work on it.

The elevation of the ground tiles was wrong (a bad change) in the two cases, I restore the correct one.

The description says "Restore 25 energy"
-- it should be "restores" instead of "restore"

Actually, the standard assets' consumables have gameEffects expressed both as an action done by the item (crystal shard of healing: "Heals all wounds") and as an action done by the champion when they use it (book of infinite wisdom is "Gain 1 skillpoint", not "Gives 1 skillpoint"). So "Restore 25 energy" and "Restores 25 energy" are both consistent with the standard assets.

-- drinking from it also restores the food bar; maybe you could put this information in the description?

Unfortunately, there is no good way to put the nutrition bar in the description without also making it give experience to farmers when used.

I've found the entrance to the Arcanum, but where is the key?

Have you found this riddle:

One forge
Four broken swords

You have visited Under Edenia Woods, so...

SpoilerShow

Have you found the map leaved by Rotan to find his father's corpse? Do you know where is the battlefield of the Three Doors? Have you a shovel?

I found this scroll in "Under Edenia Woods":

SpoilerShow

I found the marked location by using the console to find all diggable tiles in "Edenia Woods".
But without cheating like this, I would never have known where "CastleHill" is.

Also, I thought you were supposed to take the corpse back to "Under Edenia Woods" and put it on the altar.

I agree that the name "Castlehill" could be confusing, because it isn't mentioned elsewhere, but the real clue is

SpoilerShow

the name "Battle of the three doors" (Arcanum, back door to Aerion and "door" to Twisted Forest. So the fact that Milesians were concentrated in Aerion and that Edenia Woods is the fronteer with Nemesians. In addition, you have the map.

Nevertheless, I think you are right, it's too allusive and I will add a more obvious clue.
