actually, don't bother, I found a way to get the link.

Hi Ron,

That’s Ok, I finally got a hold of it.

The user guide add on helped, thanks for writing that.

I am really honored your friend put their creative mind to work on the map pack.

I had to laugh, they had to take Skorg’s old room and the cheap Inn owner hadn’t even bothered to clean the blood off the floor. That was perfect, grin.

I got the impression that the three characters come from a Japanese anime, they had that feel to them. Was it inspired by something like that or am I totally off the mark?

I saw an anime called all purpose cultural catgirl nuku nuku back in the day. Jinx kind of reminds me of that character.

So Ron is Jinx’s father, but she has two fathers. Does that mean genetically or one is a step father? I wasn’t sure. So Jinx’s mother is a psycho, got it, grin.

If your friend continues, I am interested in finding out the mystery behind the quest power. It seems like a different magic that is alien to the game world. That seems like a real neat idea for a , well, a quest, grin.

The scifi thing threw me a little, wasn’t expecting that. I wasn’t really sure why any of the characters are on the planet. Did a space ship break down? Are they following an emergency beacon? Did they detect a source of quest energy which made them want to check it out? I was just curious .

There were a few things that I noticed while playing.

The  extra heated damage effect had a few things I want to point out.

The additional_description script flag doesn’t need underscores. That is, unless they wanted it in there for some reason. Screen readers and voices and I suspect braille probably output differently, but when I play the underscores are all announced.

On the other hand, the friendly_name= flag doesn’t recognize spaces. I don’t know about anyone else, but I tend to make each word capitalized on the first letter and run them together. They still sound good, at least, to me, but again that could all be personal preference.

I think the heated blade might use the fire damage type due to the intense heat of the blade, but that’s just my opinion.

Also, Ron Hoke needed a divine point. The point being that this kept the Smite Evil from being used a billion times a round. Although, it was nice blowing ogres into tiny bits, grin.

I would also change the names of the two assassins. Kanjo is actually what I named the one assassin, so it could be recognized later. Unless your friend is making them assassin clones, which sounds like an adventure in itself.

I wouldn’t mind the descriptions getting a bit of editing …as if I was any good at editing myself, but still it is what it is. I struggled with some of it while reading.

The huge number of attacks was also a real workout. I think each character could act 8 or 9 times at least per round. The fight was actually super easy. I know it is an introduction map, so that isn’t a big deal. I tend to make things too hard.

I don’t think the mod would work in the map pack as I have it. The balance and feel are too different for me.

However, as it’s own storyline, or even a paralell storyline would be neat. I would like to see your friend make more mods or build a storyline from this intro map.

Also, I wanted to send some links for fantasy sounds. These are some new ones that have spell castings, a bit of weapons, not a lot, and other sounds that might be useful if he or she is willing to pursue the story they got started on. I am always getting sounds so I am more then happy to share with other map pack makers.

I will check the website where I have the link with that it gave me for it

I can test it to see if it actually works like I'll bring it in the address bar

If it still doesn't work I'll check with customer support to see what's wrong . Ron

            He has decided to make add-ons to your map pack and wants

                Hey all,

                It is not finished,  but here is the fantasy map pack.

                Thanks to carlos I made some changes, which will make
                the maps more fun.

                The map pack features a more dungeons and dragons
                feel. Mages hit M to

                memorize their spells at the start of the encounter
                and clerics do the

            same.

                The cleric needs  his holy symbol to cast, but the
                mage can memorize

        spells

                and switch out the spell book. The spell book oes
                provide her with very

                valuable skills that allow her to push the limits.

                Mages, once they cast a spel, that spell is gone for
                that encounter .

        There

                is a chance of failure in casting.

                The cleric can reuse spells, even if he fails a
                casting.  He has spell

            slots

                however, and so can only cast a certain amount out of
                each level of

    spell.

            There is a lot of spells. Try them all out.

                The game features randomness, so be prepared for that.

                The magic is the big concern. If it sucks, then I may
                have to shelf this

            one

                till I can work something else out.

                So please tell me about it, I am kind of hanging till
                I find out if this

        is

                worth finishing.

                One last thing. The jump skill is accessible to
                characters with leather

    or

            less armor. Those in heavier   armor have to take the
            armor off to use

    the

            jump skill. The jump skill will pop up when chain or plate
            is taken off.

                Link is below.
