Alexander Volodkovich: How about new spells and items? Chill touch (like Burning Hands)
Tomas Biskup: Ok.
AV: Dimensional Door (straight teleport through walls)
TB: I really like this one. It definitely will be added to the game.
AV: Create food & water (priest only spell)
TB: Personally I don't like this one since it takes out the tactical element of finding enough food.
AV: Polymorph/Polymorph other (temporary)
TB: Might be worth it :->
AV: Wall of stone (one cell)
TB: Might be nice.
AV: Portable altair (weight: 1000 or 2000; doesn't change color; very rare, but can be "wished")?
TB: No, no and no. IMHO it's too powerful.
AV: And what about the remaining parts of ADOM RPG engine?
TB: I'm working on it. When ADOM 0.9.9 Gamma 9 is released, a lot of sections will be updated, but it's still far from complete. I'm working on that, too :-)
AV: Will Gamma 9 be available soon?
TB: In a week or maybe two.
AV: And again with incompatible savegame files? :(
TB: No. The major goal for Gamma 9 (besides fixing bugs ;-) has been to ensure save file compatibility. Gamma 10 again will have incompatible save files because almost all major data structures will get revised to accomodate for more quests, spells, items, monsters, the monster inventories, maybe even a second surface map and a lot more. The changes will be so sweeping that it would be a nightmare trying to keep save files compatible... and I simply don't have the time to care for that.
AV: Your great game takes a lot of traffic in fido7.ru.game.rpg ;)
TB: Is that a newsgroup? Is it gated to Usenet? I want to read it :-}
AV: It is a Russian FIDOnet 'echo-conference' RU.GAME.RPG, gated as fido7.ru.game.rpg.
TB: I want to read it :-}
AV: In Russian?! ;)
TB: Oh :-} *Sigh*
AV: Does the idea of corruptions come from AD&D Ravenloft?
TB: It's about 10% Ravenloft, 20% radiation rules from Gamma World, 20% corruption ideas from Warhammer and 50% of what I used in a homebrew roleplaying game system to simulate the effects of dark magic on the caster :->

    SCORE:

    SCORE =
    sum of all skill scores / 20 +
    spell memory [the first number] for each known spell / 5 + 50 +
    MIN(piety - 200, 10000000) + (level - 1) * 50 +
    experience / 10 +
    (sum of the danger ratings [1-50] of explored levels) * 30 +
    MIN(value of all items on body / 50, 20000000) +
    (# identified items * 100) +
    various amounts for having intrinsics (between 200 and 10000 each) +
    20000 (making Blup happy) +
    (sum of attribute modifications * 200) +
    (# of successful dwarven quests * 5000) +
    5000 (if member of thieves guild) +
    5000 (if head of thieves guild) +
    MAX(0, 300 - max. hitpoints) * 1000 (only if the game was completed) +
    20000 (no divine interventions and game complete) +
    10000 (champion) + 20000 (champion and game complete) +
    -5000 (lost championhood) +
    -(chaos score * 5) (typical about 1000 points score per corruption)

    This score is doubled if you managed to solve the major goal of the game.

    If you managed to solve the game _and_ leave the Drakalor Chain th following is added to that score: MAX(0, moves - 50000) * 100 _Then_ the score is once more doubled.
