Do you think the current way of handling it is wrong? I mean the RTS field wasn't read or used anyways.

Well, we might want to reinstate some kind of RTS at some time (if just to "completely prefect" the Egoboo that Aaron was shooting for), though I think the genre kinda died out...

In general, I would favor expanding changing the config files using an extensible method, rather than re-purposing obsolete features. If we commit to adding expansions, then we are only limited by our ability to come up with 4 letter codes!!!

Yeah sure if you wish. I'll code it in then. But I myself irritate by cluttering old features that do not work. Guess I just like it "clean"

lol, if we are aiming for the "perfect" egoboo, we might as well aim for network gaming as well.

Yes, in 3.0!

Nice work. Just need some smoothing and alpha around the image edges. I'm taking we are using that one for the Fun Modules background then?

I don't know it was just an attempt to see what coloring could do for the image. I would still like to see something more humorous, like maybe

Ok. I just updated the SVN:
- Module type is now read in menu.txt as an expansion.
- Fixed bug where starting equipment could be kursed.
- Adjusted so that items dropped work like before and not drop everything in 1 place inside the character.
- Fixed potentional module selection bug when less than 3 available modules were present.
- Some GOR updates.
- Added my incomplete Centaur character.
- New item: Dungeon Map. Like those maps you find in chests, just more portable.

lol, it looks like the plunger has a light in it.

Nice colouring job, Birdsey! Although you mistook his shoulderpad for empty space and now his shoulder looks deranged.

Ahhh shoulderpads.... so what colors for the armor, then?

PS I might move the art discussion to another thread.

Just give the pads a silver-blue colour. The rest is fine.

It looks enchanted...
Why cannot a plunger be enchanted?

You should try that with the spellbook.

With the scroll it doesn't work.
A week ago, I played Adventurer Starter mostly for the nostalgic feeling, and I tried to use the scroll (from the Trog chest) on the Plunger (from the Trog chest, too), and nothing happened. The plunger was still a wimpy weapon.
What are shovels for, BTW? Are they just really weak weapons and nothing else?
They are like maces, except maces don't suck.

Wait, the plunger's in the advent starter? I liked it better when you only got it from the Bishopia restroom. >_>
