Ashes of Urh'Rok 1.7.4

Official Expansion!

Many in Maj'Eyal have heard of "demons", sadistic creatures who appear seemingly from nowhere, leaving a trail of suffering and destruction whereever they go. Their Fearscape floats far above the skies, watching and waiting, but not idly; their agents scout the land, their legions build up their forces, and their scholars develop new spells and strategies. As the barrier between our worlds begins to crack under their scrutiny, helpless Eyalites have begun to disappear, whisked up to serve as their slaves and playthings. They imbue these victims with magical powers to better survive the ensuing stresses - can you use your new-found abilities to escape the legions of Mal'Rok?

Features:

  • Start with a new class, the Doombringer! These avatars of demonic destruction charge into battle with massive two-handed weapons, cutting swaths of firey devastation through hordes of opponents. Armed with flame magic and demonic strength, they delight in fighting against overwhelming odds, softening up the crowd with waves of fire, then feeding on the flames and suffering of their surroundings to stay alive while quickly reducing any group to a pile of ash and gore.
  • Unlock a new class, the Demonologist, with an all-new item enhancement mechanic! Bearing a shield and the magic of the Spellblaze itself, these melee-fighting casters can grow demonic seeds from their fallen enemies. Imbue these seeds onto your items to gain a wide array of new talents and passive benefits, and summon the demons within them to fight on your side! Ever looked at a gigantic demon-cursed minotaur and wished it was on your side for once? Well, now you CAN summon one to pound your foes into paste while you cast devastating spells from afar, or call forth a squad of Fire Imps to pelt your enemies to death while they exhaust themselves on your impenetrable defenses! Demons have persistent health, making them a little more precious than disposable necromancer skeletons or summoner beasts, but can be revived from death nonetheless.
  • Two new zones, with all-new art, foes, and bosses! You've seen the plains of the Fearscape before, now see the lairs and headquarters of the demons themselves!
  • Over 10,000 words of written lore to find! The demons were once an enlightened, peaceful race, hailing from a distant planet known as Mal'Rok; learn what drove them to plot Eyal's eternal torture! Discover monuments to each of the demonic species and noteworthy individuals, showing the place of honor each has among them! Get a glimpse into the culture and daily lives of these sadistic invaders and their brainwashed thralls!
  • Unlock a new race, Doomelves: Shalore who've taken to the demonic alterations especially well, corrupting their typical abilities into a darker form. Blink away to safety, transform into a shadowy dúathedlen to hide in the shadows or prey on your foes with blasts of darkness, use your new resilience to soak up status effects and critical hits, and assault your enemies' minds to leave them unsteady in combat!
  • Between the aforementioned classes and Doomelves, a whopping 75 new talents!
  • Unlock two new cosmetic options! You know you've always wanted demon-horns.
  • Two new events, appearing anywhere in Eyal!
  • 20 new artifacts, with unique and interesting effects. Collect the Obsidian Treasures to amass more and more power! Slip your hands into the Will of Ul'Gruth and watch your sweeping blows smash down walls! Wear a giant hideous hell-mouth as a fashionable belt!
  • 7 new achievements! Conquer the worst Urh'Rok's forces can throw at you, and hang their metaphorical skulls from your profile page!

ZOmnibus Addon Pack 1.7.4

Combines several smaller utility addons, both for convenience and potentially reduced resource usage on smaller machines.

    Includes the following addons:

    A superset of ZOmnibus Lite.

      Frequently Asked Questions:

      ZOmnibus Addon Pack 1.7.4
      Steamtech UI 1.1.4

      Improved Auto-explore and Rest 1.7.2

      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:

      • 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.

        Use mode: Passive
        Description: Your offhand weapon damage penalty is reduced to 40%.
        Up to 2.1 times a turn, you have a 19% chance to parry up to 0 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.
        Dual Weapon Mastery
      		1/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Passive
        Description: The flow of battle invigorates you, allowing you to press your advantage as the fight progresses.
        Up to once each per turn, while dual wielding, you may:
        Riposte -- If a melee or archery attack misses you or you parry it, you instantly restore 0.9 stamina and gain 0% of a turn.
        Recover -- On performing a critical strike with your offhand weapon, you instantly restore 0.9 stamina.

        Cooldown: 8
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: Weapon (100% of a turn)
        Description: Make a cunning feint that tricks your target into swapping places with you. While moving, you take the opportunity to trip them, pinning and dazing them for 2 turns.
        Switching places distracts your foes and allows you to improve your defenses: For 0 turns, Dual Weapon Mastery yields one extra parry each turn and you are 4% less likely to miss your parry opportunities.
        The chance to pin and to daze increases with your Accuracy
        Feint

        Cooldown: 18
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: Weapon (100% of a turn)
        Description: Exploiting a gap in your target's defenses, you make a lethal strike with your offhand weapon for 180% damage that causes them to drop their weapon, disarming them for 0 turns.
        Tempo will reduce the cooldown of this talent by 1 turn each time it is triggered defensively.
        The chance to disarm increases with your Accuracy.

      Cunning / Stealth1.30
      • Effective talent level: 2.6
        Use mode: Sustained
        Range: melee/personal
        Cooldown: 10
        Travel Speed: instantaneous
        Usage Speed: Instant (0% of a turn)
        Description: Enters stealth mode (power 28, 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, increases your infravision by 3, and will not work with heavy or massive armours.
        You cannot enter stealth if there are foes in sight within range 7.
        Any non-instant, non-movement action will break stealth if not otherwise specified.

        Enemies uncertain of your location will still make educated guesses at it.
        While stealthed, enemies cannot share information about your location with each other and will be delayed in telling their allies that you exist at all.
        Stealth
      		2/5
      • 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
        Description: You have a special affinity for darkness and shadows.
        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 0.9 (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 rate.
        Soothing Darkness
      		0/5
      • Effective talent level: 0.0
        Use mode: Activated

      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.
