Downloading right away! That

Downloading right away!
That new --home command line parameter it's a reason all by itself :D

do you have to be AM already

do you have to be AM already to learn Mindstar Mastery? I can't find anyone to teach it like the tree in Last Hope, which I had assumed it was modeled after

Yay! Finally, the real 1.0.1!

Yay! Finally, the real 1.0.1! :D

tome4启动器很棒

不用每次都下载完整的游戏文件了。tome4正越来越完美。加油!

to lbstr

the mindstar teacher is there in zigur alright. at a cost, but certainly where you expect to train in it.

Needed Stone Warden buffs

Stone Warden changes look fantastic. Glad to see the Crystal Half death-trap has been eliminated.

installer

So the Windows installer only works with the music version of the game. I can't stand music playing in my games and make use of the non-musical version. Since I can't use the installer if I download the new version will it overwrite my unlocks, saved games, and other personal info?

Upgrading to Music

I usually play with music off so I couldn't remember if I had grabbed the music/no-music version of 1.0 I deleted my ToME directory, grabbed the full download of 1.0.1 and (as always) have all my unlocks and personal info. The saved games are not compatible apparently, so I'd finish anything up before you upgrade.

You can turn the music off in the settings, which is probably the easiest route if the installer does in fact require the musical version. That setting persists as well so it's a one-time thing.

Mac version?

Any idea if there will be a mac version of 1.0.1?

Interesting Class

The oozemancer, I've never heard of anything like it. i'll look forward to playing it!

"Boss NPCs that can move

"Boss NPCs that can move through walls will have easier time tracking the player; so they wont get lost in walls so much"

This isn't exactly true, all bosses (atleast purple and better) have a better tracking now. Once they spotted you they will always follow you, you cannot escape via teleport anymore.

Mac version is coming as soon

Mac version is coming as soon as the mac maintainer is back from vacation :)
