Mod "Accelerated Mana Regen"

[bman654]

I have 1.6.5 so that file I uploaded came from 1.6.5. I guess 1.6b7 doesn't display the time when you hover over the globe hence it doesn't work. Maybe you should apply the 1.6.5 patch? Or else try inserting my code in another function in that file. I recall seeing a is_daytime() function or something that might do the trick for you.

Thanks for the tip.

I decided to try this modding thing, didn't have a clue at first (looking for something to extract the .kfs files, didn't realise they were just renamed zips).

A bit surprised there was no modding tutorial on in the forum, but doing what I thought would be a simple change served as quite an interesting exercise.

I've edited your mod_165_acceleratedmanaregen.kfs, all the complex code you did in the accelerate_manaregen function is untouched, I just added one line to the gen_day_time function.

If you'd like this removing or in any way feel it's stepping on your toes let me know and I'll remove edit this post.

It seems to work in 1.64 now, although I really should update to 1.65, but I'd rather not unless 1.65 does something useful (like a bugfix which affects me, or a useful new feature. 1.64 has the convenience of no atari video and not needing the disc).

oh it wasn't working in 1.6.4 either? Thanks for doing a 1.6.4 version.

Thanks for the mod - it works nice with my 16b7 patched to 164. (bugmenot version)
There are some "glitches" though.
1. I found it to be "cheat" some times - as you can recharge your mana instantly, while the game is paused- like when there are 2 strong enemies running on you from both directions of narrow corridor, it can save your life, but then is cheating imho

2. there is probably bug, and maybe its not in the mod, but in the game (but i didnt noticed it before staring using this mod): my total mana was already 2x rised by 30!! after opening treasure chest, which supposed to be containing only gold. Well its nice, but I start to feel like cheater again.

You just have to decide to not cheat. After all there is many ways to cheat and this just introduces one more. Just resist one more temptation. As it is single player game cheating affects only yourself so nothing bad in it if you want to do it. Just don't cheat so much it ruins the game for yourself.

And thanks for mod. It is very nice. Saved me from so much standing around twiddling my thumbs.

I'm not understanding you on this one. You mean a chest gave you 60 more max mana? Unlikely it is this mod since the only thing this mod "writes" in the game is the current mana and rage It never updates max mana. But if you can repeat it...

You are right, it's not connected with this mod at all - I was able to repeat it both with and without the mod. Sorry for false accusation!

But game bug there is! I open box which says 7000 gold and as a side effect my max mana is raised by 30. Very nice positive bug
