Hi allan
just tested the seperation map.
Although I was able to handle the warboard with ease the orians were
a bit harder.
I was able to kill all the fighters but to be honest after that my
saucer got destroyed.
I'd like to be able to reintergrate myself to finnish the job.
I really do need my 2 torpedo capacity back.
I will do more testing tomorrow as I have some time.

Ian,
On my starship map I noticed a healing bug.
The ships all have a skill called repair. It is a skill that has a self flag.
What happens is that, when a damaged ship on the bad guys side is
hurt, the others will go to range zero on top of them and use the
repair skill on the other ship. It is almost like the self flag
isn't working and it works more like a tile flag. So I am thinking, bug.
I updated the starship map a bit, and also made a test map for you
to check it out.
It is the test map. To the far right upper corner is the bird of
prey, in front of it is a damaged ship. When it starts, the BOP
will go and use the repair skill ontop of the unfinished
juggernaught. Hopefully that will help you out.
Also, Ian, I have some weird sound events in my kobold map. I
updated that too. In the test level, which I am thinking of calling
trap school, there is two groups of rogues standing in front of
traps. There is the two types but I will explain that in a bit. To
the right is the rogues named after the dukes of hazard. Bo, luke,
boss hog, jesse, rosco. In front of them are two terrain of
diffrent floor types. If you walk these along the two tile long
paths they will trigger traps. You will notice that on some of them,
the death sound happens before the trap sound. I think it does it
on two of them.
For Shawn,
I was real upset about the seperation map. It turns out that I
thought I saved the map, but apparently I didn't so that is why it
wasn't working.
It should be working better now. I haven't worked on anything like
directions nor story but hopefully that will come along after I hit
two more maps with the basics.
I didn't have time to mess with the borg. I did do some changes to
the second hunt map. Got rid of a bunch of freighters who were doing
that healing thing. Also I took away skills and points so that the
map will go alot smoother. I intend to make the sensors have a range
of 1 but I don't think I changed that yet.
The four pods are along the edges of the map, directly in front of
the shipyard frames. I have the wormhole in the middle of
the shipdock where the klingons were bringing in supplies etc, but
I am thinking maybe putting four seperate wormholes or some other
space oriented escape point so that the center doesn't have to be
seen to send the pod into it.
The kill titan map has that warp point. It has a range of four, and
there is nine ships you can place within that range. The unexplored
and unseen is removed so you can see the whole map and I took away
the freighters I meant to take out last time. I dropped the two
dreadnaughts int he middle and made them battlecruisers. Hopefully
that will be a lot more fair fight.
I worked ont he moment in time, and that should be running. It isn't
perfect but I think it will do till I can give it proper intro and the like.
The icarus isn't made yet, so don't bother with that.
I was thinking of adding in a map where you transport onto a science
observation post and try to rescue some big giant brain scientist
from the forces of evil. Essentially it would be the captain, two or
three red shirts, and maybe a science guy to give directions and
info. Does that sound interesting or does that ruin the campaign?
Oh, I took the announce off the shield effects. They were a bit too
verbose for the maps.
To anyone else,
I updated the kobold map. I haven't put the plot in, but essentially
you are a group of good guys hired to rescue the princess captured
by the bad kobolds. The map is basically the same but with some
dangerous diffrences. There is more pits, more kobolds and there is
a need to go investigate the side passages cause there is stuff you
need to open a locked door to continue thru part 1.
The second thing is that there is two types of traps. One is
obvious and the other is hidden.
The hidden sound just like the regular tiles, so you want to
"search" for traps using the shift plus t to read floor descriptions.
There is also two types of disarm skills, each for obvious and for
hidden respectively. When you try to disarm a trap, you will get
exhausted or stunned for a round. The obvious traps attack back. The
hidden traps are much more deadly, but they don't attack back, and
not for a lack of trying.
I changed some of the chances around a bit, giveing ten percent here
and there. There is also a wand and a staff and some scrolls to find.
I also took off the fatigue effect. That was more or less a proof of
concept thing. Now the wizard and cleric regain 1 point of
arcane/divine a turn naturally, allowing them to be more involved
without fearing them becoming useless. Actually magic is the only
thing that has a 1000 percent chance of working, making them much
more powerful. I shortened the spiritual weapon duration also. The
ranger has been named an elf ranger, ahs a bit better sight range
then the others and has two new skills. Rapid shot, which three
arrows at a single target, and far shot which lets you fire a shot
two spaces further then other bows.
Well, that is about it. Remember that it is all still in flux.
