I just recall someone saying something to the effect of there being something in the game that checks quests and whatnot..I'm not 100% sure.

...i'd like to know if it's ture as well. though I'm sure it is since atma's good at that stuff.

Looks like hes right. Looks like it eats the flags minute u enter game. I edited a char with max damge +100, entered game, and exited, then gone. SHrug, might be when your character saves.

spell length is indeed how long a duration spell lasts. I had an item that added +10 to spell length and it fell into the hands of a bardic class. bad idea... song of time (a 2 round room stun) was lasting 12 rounds, and the person was scripting impossible areas without being attacked... had to change the spell. and the spell damage thing is very useful to know. kinda like DR, where if you wanted +10 you'd have to put it like +100 to get anything out of it. looks like I need to change my dats. :(

Just curious Syntax. Is it possible to add a search in the textblock editor? ex. search for the word "leggings"

shouldn't be hard, i'll check it out. fyi though, just export your textblocks to access/textfile and then search.

p.s. textfile exporting was reported not working in v1.0+ (i have it fixed for the next release)

(this has been included in v1.2)

sweet thanks.

Well damn...so much for my grand ideas of all sorts of new quests. For the momment I assume this means that any quest won't work? Or just one that edits your abilty to do things? As it would seem that even ones that do not grant new abilities still need to set a flag on your character to see if they have been done before, I would guess this puts the big buzzkill on quests of any sort. Most depressing, as quests were one of the best things that one could do to add flavor and interaction in my opinion.

make new abilities and have your new quests check for those flags. it's a pain and I'm still having trouble with one I have that's got 4 or 5 parts to it, but it'll work if you're patient and can figure out what you're doing.
