BONFIRE: Testing ... only testing info here plz

[raknefne]

We fixed the bug with "stars" on minimap from the random logs (road blocks) - as you mentioned. And a lot of other stuff yesterday.

Up to now it has been Terroin modding quests etc and I have been the mapmaker. Yesterday I learnt more about making quests, so I start putting a few quests in the existing maps. One quests I made was to collect 5 Precision Scrolls - reward is 6 runes. I always sell those scrolls, fun this way. they seem to pop up by them selves, don't have to put scrolls to find, I think.

Any small quest ideas, Eucrysty or others?

the bug with Trapper medals is back. Since i have did it and 1 trap is placed on battlefield 60% of the time game crashes when attacking an enemy
now i wish i have nt used traps at all...but on impossible trap is the best spell ever besides slow , fear and shield.

Damn it. I made traps placed in the arena just 1 month ago, since I thought we had repaired the Rogue summoning like DRAGON RIDER skill and Companion placement in arena-bug.... It could still be another thing that crashes (we experienced that with the rogue heroes before changing the trapper medal)... but to test it, I can mail you a new medal file. Good news is, that it should work immediately. Txt will still say "1 trap placed in the arena ... etc" but I can make it so it makes only extra damage as it was in the Hylfire mod. I write where to put the file.

Questions:
1. how are the RAGE skills, round attack etc., balanced / too weak / strong ? We lowered it, seemed too strong in our early tests.

2. how much of the world have you discovered as level 12? How many maps do you have access to? Is it too easy to get a new map? Can you just cruise from map to map and pick up goodies?

3. About the crash you experience: is it nomatter which map you are on or only at a certain map? (a certain arena)

i have 5 maps and on 4 of them all is collected and all enemies defeated.
the crashes are all over the maps.as a workaround i just need to find a NON-crasher enemy ...beat him up and then try on the crasher-ones, usually it changes the spawn trap and is not in the same place on the battlefield with on a non-good place to give crash.
-the map system is ok
-the building where u fire companion and gives XP is overpowered anyway
-i visited 2 times and got 2 new levels... i just quit visiting because is not fair for the game . i just give 2 kill proofs and get a new level. by the way i have 80 kill proof....so i could make tons of levels without beat any enemy....
- my idea is to get rid of exp reward ...but just to add all of the companions so you can choose whatever u want not from only 3 .... i swithched 3 types and i enjoyed playing with each one because each one gives a new experience. for the moment i have the archer trickster...i like it for the Double damage spell

ARENA Building: yes, sounds overpow. Isn't it 5 kill proofs and not 2 for new companion to choose? It should only be an instant 5% exp gained, but perhaps there're a bug... We will change that, eliminate the exp gained as you suggest. It is a very good idea with all 9 companions to choose between. We are modding today and will implement and test it here. Terroin has modded a lot lately - focused on repairing bugs and adjustments. I'm nearly finished with a new map. That new map, Hopland, along with a new small island map in Fefne Island will be in the final version. I have started adding a quest to maps. We still need to add quests to the guild. But that is about all we need for the finale tests, so we are close!

About crash w. companion / trapper: another way to reset the randomness is to take off equipment and put them on again.

Let me hear when you try the medals.txt I sent you. Open (not unpack) ses.rar in the session / ice'nfire directory and move the new file there as I explained in the mail.

Arena building: Now it costs 5 kill proofs to choose between all 9 companions - still the first time you pay 3 kill proofs and can choose between 3 random ones. So with this building you can have fun trying different combos with the companionens, some summon, some shoots, cast web etc.

Now it's ok ,no more traps placed in battlefield and no more crashes since i replaced the medals.txt
the change equipment did not work....only medals.txt
