Re: Vampiric/Draining spells

That's fantastic, thank you!

I hope if Karl ever decides to continue working on IBE, the improvements you've developed will be transferable.

Vampiric/Draining spells

Hey, I don't suppose there's any way to create a spell that simulatenously damages an enemy while healing one's self? It seems to be a function of Effect targets being limited to exclusive categories. I see how this concept might be executed for weapons or enemy attacks, but not specifically for cas...

Re: Hearkenwold

Very cool! Will wait for the greenlight to revisit Hearkenwold with all the new mechanics this system allows.

Continuity of Party Members

Part of my game concept right now is having recruitable party members that can be sent back to a hub but who can rejoin later. Doing some testing, it looks like when I remove a party member, and then add them again, they don't retain the changes applied to the them while they were in the party (xp, ...

Global Variables and debug mode

I've noticed when I turn on debug mode, that the engine calaculates Global variables every 'heartbeat'. I can imagine this will get quite heavy (and make debug mode kind of unwieldy) as I add more Global variables to the game. My question is: Within what parameters are Local variables calculated? Wi...

Re: Preparation before heading into the wilds

I ran some tests and that was indeed the problem. I had changed the name and tag of one of the Races. I thought I'd also changed the tags in all the Player files correspondingly, but either it didn't make a difference, or I forgot something somewhere. Thank you for willing to take a look at it, thou...

Re: Preparation before heading into the wilds

I worked around it by going back to previously saved version of the module. I was able to import all the area, trigger, and conversation work I'd done since then, so there wasn't anything there that had caused the problem. Strange.

Re: Preparation before heading into the wilds

I went to test some recent changes to my game, and when I select 'New Game' and try to hit the left and right arrows to scroll to my test character, I get hit with this error message: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at IceBlink2.ScreenPartyBuild.r...

Re: Slowdive's Little Daily Blog

Thanks for the detailed response.

I've been using single area images, but could make the switch to tiles if I needed to. Props would be the greater loss perhaps. I'm just starting to see their potential.

Something to consider...
