Beta 2 is upon us!

As promised, here comes T-Engine4 & ToME4 beta 2! This releases fixes many little bugs, and some major ones, re-balances some things here and there, improves the interface and CPU usage. It also come with a very dirty example module which is much much smaller than ToME that people can use as a base for their own modules. The current endgame moved a bit with the addition of Moria but not much further, in the next few betas I will implement a good part of the missing zones for levels 20-50. And this time, OSX binaries are available! List of changes in no particular order:

  • try to stop passage of time after death
  • menu for sound & music disabling
  • allow window to dynamic resize
  • do not destroy objects when not able to equip them
  • A* algorithm (engine.Astar)
  • game pauses when it looses focus, no CPU used when paused
  • modules can return true from their tick() to pause the ticking until the next SDL event, reducing CPU usage drastically
  • mouse-right-click will now make the player either:
    • run to the clicked spot if a path can be found
    • run in the direct if no path is found
    • move one turn in the direction if hostiles are present or if the clicked spot is adjacent
  • MiniMap ! default keybind: TAB
  • move lua lane keeper to a lua file, to avoid 64bits problems
  • all coroutine.resume calls no do good stacktrace
  • Mac OSX support
  • PlayerDisplay does not run every frame, better displaying performance
  • fixed crash with no music found
  • template example module
  • bows & slings improve firing range
  • fixed Berserk (wont loose attack)
  • stats on levelup are bound without considering items
  • keybinds used in Birther
  • traps are correctly detected by the Sense spell
  • new world map special encounter
  • arcane combat is now sustained
  • black mamba & anacondas are rarer and higher level
  • adjust stats&life by rank
  • Shadowblades now have "Shadow magic"
  • nobody regens mana but mages
  • id from inventory screen now updates correctly
  • do not waste cooldown & resources when canceling archery
  • talents don't activate with the mouse by just dragging over, requires a mouse up
  • identify now works on equipment too
  • black bear is greyer
  • fixed all npcs to use auto_req for their stuff
  • added moria and a reason to go there, the end is quite loose at this point
  • Ukruk now has Rush
  • Stone Wall actually works now
  • added a_lomos_del_dragon_blanco music
  • fixed chain lightning
  • new display modes: ascii with color background
  • slings are made of leather
  • gradient lightning
  • all players now start with 2 potions of cure poison
  • reduced the size of the last level of elven ruins

Have fun!

Game often crashes for me when entering / exiting areas. But so far I'm enjoying it much.
