Some small issues for the next update:

-There's a ring in YS0070 which can't be removed from the inventory.

-The dusty book from YS0250 is a quest item from Durlag's Tower, could that be changed. There's also one found in YS0120.

-The transition from YS1000 (y1930, x2040) to YS0060 is party required. Is that really necessary?

-I still experience some issues regarding the transition between YS0260 and YS1000: When fighting the shadows there I often gets teleported back to YS1000 (no I'm not pressing the door icon merely standing sends me back).

Cheers

Hi Hans

I'll take a look. There will be a v2.0 - I still need to add Roxanne's patch for the Earl Wultheof dialog. Good job I've been too lazy to do it in the last couple of weeks!

Yeah, laziness comes with summer every year

I'll say if I notice any further issues.

I know you know of it, but the 8 hours of travelling between W. Govt. area and other city areas are annoying gamewise. Hope you'll be able to mend that before v2.0

We never did fix the travel time problem - truth to tell, I think both Miloch and I lost interest in it.

I've replaced the GOLSTONE ring with a silver ring in ys0070 and removed the Party Required transition from ys1000 to ys0060. Doing something about the auto-transition in ys0260 is getting increasingly difficult; I've reduced the trigger area sizes again but I really can't make them much smaller. The problem is defining which ys100x you should be moving to, so there's actually two trigger areas next to the cave entrance, both of which have the door icon. One trigger defines the area to travel to and the other does the work. Hopefully now you'll need to be almost out of the cave before the auto-transition kicks in.

I'm suffering the temptation to add in a couple of additional encounters for v2.0 but a) I can't think of anything and b) I'm afraid that if I do they will grow out of control (again).

[Edit] I forgot to say I've changed the Dusty Books too.
[Edit edit] Oh crap. I've just had a good idea for a new encounter. That's your fault, Shaitan.

Don't know if I ever had interest in it, ha ha! But seriously, I thought it looked like a simple thing of changing the times in your code where you invoke SConrad's area-linking/worldmap macro, wouldn't it? That's what handles the links and everything else IIRC.

Also, it says in the IESDP that travel time in the .wmp is a factor of four, so that could be the issue. In other words, if you want 12 hours, don't put a 12 but rather a 3 there (could go the other way possibly but not if the problem is with long travel times).

[Yovaneth]

The problem with the macro is that it only allows you to enter one global travel time, not one for each areaA to areaB. Somebody did have an answer to this but I don't recall who and I quite obviously didn't follow it up.

Very nice, hope you'll manage on the time travelling stuff

Adding new encounters would always be welcome. Say if you need anything when you find your time...
