Grimrock

1. It's intentionally optional because it's sort of parody of Fighter's Challenge, which is also optional.

2. Elemental glyphs are secondary hint put there "just in case". The main hint is written on the wall behind tapestry. It says:
In the hand of mage, The library map is hidden, (the runes table is activated by clicking mage's hand)
But only eyes of the gods, Shall see it (indicate you have to look on puzzle from above, like Nazca Lines)

If you look "from above" on that room (i.e., from automap view) you will see that alcoves are in the same positions as runes on mage's hand, Fire in top left corner and so on.

Of course all riddles seems easy and logical when you're making them up

1. The book was supposed to represent the Balance thus should be place in the central spot. I'll try to rewrite its text to make it clear. If you have any ideas I'm open to suggestions of course.

2. The scrolls needs to be put in alphabetical order. I was thinking that alphabetical order is natural for library. The name of the room - Librarian's Challenge - suggests that you have to "be like librarian" and that's means putting things alphabetically. I'm thinking how to hint that alphabetical order is needed, without using term "alphabetical".

Hi all,
I write here because it's a development thing.
Some others are having problems with Grimwold's room, but for most people it works ok.
The only odd thing in the whole room is the script in that it uses global variables x and y which are also properties of the scripting entity itself - this is the only odd thing in the whole script as far as I was able to find. The error message seems to confirm this to some extent.

I got a savegame from Ryeath_Greystalk and it crashes on my machine, while my savegames are perfectly working. So in my view one of these is happening:

• The download was corrupted. While plausible for one player, it's unlikely since it's happening to more than one in the same room
• The scripts are store precompiled inside the savegame and not in their source form AND there is some rogue version around which compiles differently from others. It's unlikely to be just old, as Grimwold developed his room in October and we all tested it! The only likely one would be the beta where modding was implemented but not released yet, though it was only available on steam which should autoupdate Or maybe the Mac version ?
• The scripts are store precompiled inside the savegame and not in their source form AND having lua on the system for other reasons (say some other software copies lua.dll where it shouldn't) breaks it. This seems unlikely again.

Now, if anyone has any other explanation or ideas please speak!
