Aaaannnnd, here is your food spell. ;)
SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

defineSpell{
   name = "feast",
   uiName = "Feast",
   skill = "spellcraft",
   level = 6,
   runes = "EF",
   manaCost = 15,
   onCast = function(caster, x, y, direction, skill)
    setMouseItem(spawn("snail_slice"))
   end
}
Runes 5 and 6, although you can change that. (As well as the skill requirement and casting cost.) If you are afraid of balance issues, I guess you could make it cost 100 energy or something?

The Grimrock-Com is so great, you all make me really happy.
I think I will stay here for a while. I am so happy that I found a place like that, Its like a Treasure Room of some sort, full of unforgotten Games and People.

Thank you for the code msyblade, it looks very good, and is still a good level, not to low and not to high. It is just like in the original game it was.

yeah, good job !
if I can say something : maybe it should be better to make the texture a little less "clean"... You should try to add a "dirty" texture on it with soft alpha...

a quick exemple of what I mean :

Ok, i actually play around with effects on the texture to make it little bit more decent and not so gloomy. But I have also to consider not making it to withered, since the temple grounds of AP2 (the upper level at last) shouldnt look to withered at all. Thisfor I also used the "Hightemple" Tileset and not the Dark-Temple i.e.

But you are right the gobelin should not look to strange in middle of the rest of the graphics.

@Drakkan: thx for the nice words.

Now thanks to the wonderful Video-Tutorial of "Skuggasveinn" I have now managed to ged rid of one of my main-issues in completing the Temple of AP2:

I Know the model is not totally complete right now, but it works for now so like it is intendent to work:

The "Dying Master" Quest and what I needed is almost done:
Image

Yes I know, I still have to change little things (like make the beard like a beard and not tentacles :mrgreen: )
But well, actually the quest works and shows what it should :mrgreen:
Image

And even the part of after solving the quest, works better than I expected :mrgreen:

Image

I know, i am really at the very beginning with changing things to meet my needings (and sorry for my bad english sometimes I even dont understand myself what I just said, but I am not born in Britain and nor in America, Its only my school english, but I work on this every day, I promise :mrgreen: )

lg Wanderer

Edit: The next step is to add some Face and more hairylike texture for the beard, the Robe is almost OK I think.
