EDIT: Bongobeat: I said that up to the Beastmaster I do not recall seeing any monster drop a key, though I may be mistaken. I think it is a good thing that monsters do NOT carry keys, as I, just to name an example, tend to miss out on keys on the ground. When I think of it, there may have been a group of Mages up in the temple that dropped a key, in the Priest Quarters, but fortunately I saw that key immediately.

Thanks to your hints, I have found the area you described. One question, do I HAVE to catch that chest? Because this is a puzzle that makes me tired just by thinking about it.

And that is another problem I am running into with your mod: I am getting tired of playing it. I never thought I'd say this about a Grimrock mod, but it may be too big, too long. At least there is some problem here, as I enjoy playing most Grimrock mods, and yet I am getting tired of this one.

You can cheat to go directly to level 19 if you don't have a savegame, if yes I will give you a pm for a cheat room that will be useful to train yourself to test special areas.
That's normal that the damage decrease when changing of level, the more you get far, the less you get damage. The timer's time settings which gives you damage is divided by 2 every time you change level, and get to "normal" if you are in the same level.

I have already removed some valgar soldiers (in V1.39). I have noticed a big lag when they were spawned, especially when you get the emerald key, I have deleted all monsters coming after. so their is only about 8 monsters spawned at the beginning, when you just come from the stairs. And 6 are standing behind secret doors.

minmay wrote:Okay, I've just tested it again and found the problem. If you exit the room before the secret door opens all the way, then the damage doesn't stop. If you wait for the door to open all the way before leaving, it does stop. The bug has nothing to do with Toorum mode.

minmay wrote:1.39, yes. I think the main culprit on this level is the number of sounds played in the background - I noticed that all the forges and raw material supply bays make noise, as well as the flames on the west end of the level. Consider reducing the maxDistance value on the ambient sounds; this will lower the number that play simultaneously, and that way you won't have to remove any.

This also seems to be true of the neutron cannon and other "futuristic" weapons. Poison clouds also don't award experience, but that's a bug in Grimrock, not the mod.

Are you sure of that? I don't spawn 24 shrak, their is only 4 group of 4 shraks.

Ok that's better, it should only happen if you teleport yourself with the console

minmay wrote:Actually, you can move through doors before they open completely. This is most noticeable with "secret" doors because they tend to open quite slowly, including this one.

Is there a logic to this level or are you moved about randomly?
