Faster Run/Rest/Explore 1.0.6

Important: this addon will have no effect if left unconfigured! Please read the description!

Recommended settings:

hit escape -> video options
  • Requested FPS: 30
  • Resting divider: 10
  • Running divider: 5

Description:

Enables faster run/resting by use of FPS dividers.

These dividers simply divide the game's requested FPS by their respective values while resting or running. After starting a new game or loading a saved character, configure this addon by hitting escape -> video options. Setting these dividers to something greater than one can substantially reduce the amount of time required to finish resting/running on older computers.

Just be careful when resting on an escort mission...

      Improved Auto-explore and Rest 1.5.5

      Quality of Life improvements for resting and auto-exploring.

      v3.5.0 *** FOR ToME v1.6.5 ***
      This is a fork (with permission) of Marson's auto-explore and rest tweaks. It includes as well C.Lowe/CaptainTrip's improvements as well. It does not include, but recommends also using Johnny0's Faster RRE add-on for even better rest and auto-explore experience. This add-on contains numerous Quality of Life improvements designed to make resting and auto-exploring easier to use, brings the add-on overall up to being compatible with 1.6.x, and generally seeks to remove it being more optimal to do timed rests or manual recovery (particularly to help higher difficulty level and players without Faster RRE). Cleaned up feature list in this take, to make it easier to see what it does.

      It is recommended to turn off Marson's Rest and Auto-Explore as well as C.Lowe's Rest Tweaks if using. This addon is meant to include all of them.

      Latest Update Notes:
      • Changed steam sustain behavior to match current gameplay. Before sustains tended to shut off when available resource was 0, now they don't seem to do so. This will now only turn off sustains that drain steam if steam is going below 0, so as to get to a steady finish state.
      • Fix minor bug where stealth enabling was always on if you had it.
      • Added new option to ignore quest members when resting or exploring. It defaults to off but for those folks that know they want to ignore those quest allies and rest a bit.

      Existing Features:
      • removed First Sighting and Reset on Rest. Someone can patch them in if they'd like it back, but I'm not really keeping them alive.
      • Fixed actor bugs causing Elemental Surge to never reset. Thanks Reca♥den.
      • Fixed bug with Paradox Spacetime Tuning from 1.5.5. This may rebreak posessors with paradox, hard to kinda test.
      • Mostly verified working on 1.6.0
      • Compatibility with restart sustains. Thanks zizzo.
      • When resting, it will check for infusions and runes that could be used to accelerate HP, Mana, or Equilibrium (via Ancestral Life or Meditation) recovery. If the acceleration appears significant, it will use them, rotating from first available infusion or rune outward. In experiment, I found this often reduced rest turn time by 50-80 percent, improving the more drained the resource was. Particularly helpful for Mana, as it avoids trade-off advantages of short term resting (for increased mana regen) + rune use by just handling that more optimal play for you automatically without breaking rest.
      • Support for steam implants, with usual checkboxes. This may not always be faster based on steam sustains that may disable after the initial round of rest and steam implants having very long cooldowns (30+ turns) and steam's resource max being pretty small. It tries to be conservative on that, so will most likely help for cases where your functional steam regen rate is < 2.00 and never activate for things much above it. I found I was often getting 5-20 steam per turn, which makes the implant support useless.
      • Supports for medical healing salve injectors. Cooldown measurements are a bit odd here, since they can range from 5-20 depending on injector. Went with 10 as a happy medium for how many turns of natural regen is considered to be equal to the cooldown cost of using it.
      • Adding support to auto-stealth if available and not stealthed.
      • Option for ignoring small damage when moving and resting, basically if it is <5%, it will ignore it by default, prevent small DoTs from preventing rest.
      • Options added to control whether or not to use inscriptions to accelerate recovery of things.
      • Fixes a ToME bug that can cause autoexplore or running to move only a single square and hang if used immediately after killing an enemy.
      • Lore discovery will only stop autoexplore if it triggers a popup.
      • Autoexplore will ignore Exploratory/Infinite Farportal return portals until the entire level has been explored.
      • Ignores special terrain features such as Font of Healing after they are first discovered.
      • Ignores open chests and alt Maze floor cracks.
      • Rest and AE ask for confirmation if you have an escort in your party.
      • Ignore already activated pedestals.
      • Checks for and waits on any rechargeable items.
      • Checks for and reloads any ammo in offhand quiver.
      • Waits for cooldowns of talents set to auto-use.
      • Waits for depleted air to replenish.
      • Combines all checks into a single instance of rest, rather than having cooldowns etc. require a second resting phase.

      Determines how auto-explore and running respond to telepathy, including mouse moves. Regardless of the setting, hostiles seen via telepathy will not halt resting or the Rod of Recall, nor trigger automated talents. Unique or powerful monsters (rank > 3) will always trigger a halt to running when they are spotted via telepathy for any mode except 'Original'.

      Available modes:
      • 'Always Viligant' always stops running when a hostile creature is seen via telepathy.
      • 'Original' is standard ToME auto-explore behavior, which ignores telepathy when running or auto-exploring.

      • Compatible with ToME v1.6.0

      Notes:
      Folks who have helped with bugfixes over the years:
      Reca♥den
      St_ranger_er
      zizzo

      • Telepathy will not prevent auto-exploring the way normal sight will. If a halt is triggered by telepathy, hitting auto-explore again will move you at least one more square in the direction of the auto-explore path. If in 'Always Viligant' mode and a hostile is within telepathic sight (but not normal sight), you will auto-explore in 1 square per keypress increments.

      Forbidden Cults 1.5.9

      Official Expansion!

      Not all adventurers seek fortune, not all that defend the world have good deeds in mind.
      Lately the number of sightings of horrors have grown tremendously. People wander off the beaten paths only to be found years later, horribly mutated and partly insane, if they are found at all. It is becoming evident something is stirring deep below Maj'Eyal.
      That something is you.

      Forbidden Cults is a big expansion for Tales of Maj'Eyal to let you explore the horrors that lurk beneath the surface, to delve in long lost knowledge and lore and as usual to die a lot!


      Forbidden Cults makes two new classes available to play:

      • Writhing One: Give in to the corrupting forces and turn yourself gradually into an horror, summon horrors to do your bidding, shed your skin and melt your face to assault your foes. With your arm already turned into a tentacle, what creature can stop you?
      • Cultist of Entropy: Using its insanity and control of entropic forces to unravel the normal laws of physic this caster class can turn healing into attacks and call upon the forces of the void to reduce its foes to dust.

      Both those classes use a new resource called Insanity that gradually makes you both more chaotic and powerful as it fills up.


      Forbidden Cults makes two new races available to play:

      • Drem: A corrupt subrace of dwarves, that somehow managed to keep a shred of sanity to not fully devolve into mindless horrors. They can enter a frenzy and even learn to summon horrors.
      • Krog: Ogres transformed by the very thing that should kill them. Their powerful attacks can stun their foes and they are so strong they can dual wield any one handed weapons.


      Forbidden Cults adds many new zones for you to explore and die in:

      • Kroshkkur: An ancient Sher'tul Fortress laying half in ruins that serves as a focal point, and home, for all kinds of creatures seeking lost knowledge.
      • The Maggot: A huge living corrupted worm about to destroy Kroshkkur! Teleport inside and save your sanctuary of horrors!
      • The Godfeaster: Deep undergroud the ground shakes as ... -- redacted by corrupt forces --
      • The Scourge Pits: On the south of the Iron Throne lays a fool pit of ... -- redacted by corrupt forces --
      • Forbidden Tomes: Find special artifact books of ancient lore. But, read at your own peril, for the story they tell may very well suck you in... quite literally.
        Maybe you will even find The One That Writes...
      • Occult Egress: A strange, extremely old, contraption of unknown origin. It seems to require some kind of code sequence to activate. Maybe you will find some during your adventures?
      • The Entropic Void: So you think you are strong? Powerful? Invulnerable? In the end, entropy always wins, as you will learn...


      What would an expansion about horrors be without a bunch of new horrors to torment you with? Please give a warm welcome to:

      • Searing Horrors: You liked luminous horrors? You loved radiant horrors? You will absolutely adore their searing big brothers!
      • Nethergates: It sleeps. Maybe it should stay that way.
      • Netherworms: Vampiric worm masses that are bound to tickle your fancy! And tickle hard.
      • Fearful Symmetry: Geometry has never been so lively!
      • Entropic Shards: Take an entropic crystal, shatter it with tentacles. And die.
      • : And more ...


      "DarkGod, is that all?" Obviously not! You will also find your usual addition of:

      • Lore: Delve into the dark forgotten secrets of the world, where sanity is a very tenuous idea.
      • Artifacts: Discover new objects of power and use them to further your own goals.
      • New wyrmic tree: Unlock the scourge drake for your wyrmics.
      • Glass Golem: Unlock the glass golem option for your alchemists.
      • Events: Discover new strange contraptions in familiar zones. What could go wrong?
      • Achievements: Because there can never be enough!

      • Effective talent level: 1.2
        Use mode: Passive
        Description: Your offhand weapon damage penalty is reduced to 38%.
        Up to 2.1 times a turn, you have a 17% chance to parry up to 5 damage (based on your offhand weapon damage) from a melee or ranged attack. The number of parries increases with your Cunning. (A fractional parry has a reduced chance to succeed.)
        A successful parry reduces damage like armour (before any attack multipliers) and prevents critical strikes. It is difficult to parry attacks from unseen attackers and you cannot parry with a mindstar.

        Description: Enters stealth mode (power 0, based on Cunning), making you harder to detect.
        If successful (re-checked each turn), enemies will not know exactly where you are, or may not notice you at all.
        Stealth reduces your light radius to 0, and will not work with heavy or massive armours.
        You cannot enter stealth if there are foes in sight within range 12.
        Any non-instant, non-movement action will break stealth if not otherwise specified.
        Stealth
      		0/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Passive
        Description: You know how to make the most out of being unseen.
        When striking from stealth, your attacks are automatically critical if the target does not notice you just before you land it. (Spell and mind attacks critically strike even if the target notices you.)
        Your critical multiplier against targets that cannot see you is increased by up to 0%. (You must be able to see your target and the bonus is reduced from its full value at range 3 to 0 at range 10.)
        Also, after exiting stealth for any reason, the critical multiplier persists for 3 turns (with no range limitation).
        Shadowstrike
      		0/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Passive

        When standing in an unlit grid, the minimum range to your foes for activating stealth or for maintaining it after a Shadow Dance is reduced by 0.
        While stealthed, your life regeneration is increased by 0.8 (based on your Cunning) and your stamina regeneration is increased by 0.2. The regeneration effects persist for 3 turns after exiting stealth, with 5 times the normal life regeneration rate.

        Description: Your mastery of stealth allows you to vanish from sight at any time.
        You automatically enter stealth mode, reset its cooldown, and cause it to not break from unstealthy actions for -1 turns. If you were not already stealthed, all enemies in a direct line of sight completely lose track of you.
        When your Shadow Dance ends, you must make a stealth check against targets in radius 12 or be revealed.

        Description: Focus on a single target and perform a probing attack to find flaws in its defences, striking with your melee weapon(s) for 80% damage.
        For 2 turns thereafter, your attacks against that target gain 3 (effective) accuracy for each probing strike that missed, plus 4.4 (effective) bonus weapon damage and 4% additional weapon resistance penetration for each probing strike that hit.
        Learning this technique allows you to permanently gain 1 armour penetration with all melee and archery attacks.
        The bonuses to accuracy and damage increase with Cunning.

      Transmogrification Chest
      Powered by       unknown forces
      2.00 Encumbrance.

      [Plot Item]
      Type: chest / sher'tul

      When carried:
      It can be used to transmogrify all the items in your chest at once (also done automatically when you change level), costing 0 power out of 1000/1000.

      This chest is an extension of old Sher'tul places of power. Any items dropped inside are transported to an other place, processed and destroyed to extract energy.
      The byproduct of this effect is the creation of gold, which is useless to process, so it is sent back to you.

      When you possess the chest all items you walk upon will automatically be put inside and transmogrified when you leave the level.
      Simply go to your inventory to move them out of the chest if you wish to keep them.
      Items in the chest will not encumber you.
