Hmm, I will look into this. :) BTW, since I've been aware of it, I'm there at least once a day. ;)

Ha ha - well, you are doing me a great service, then! :D (The trouble is, what happens when both you and I go on vacation for a week at the same time? :( )

Re: Combat Set Template?
 

Vacation? I get to go on vacation? :D For a whole week?

Re: Combat Set Template?
 

Ha ha - guess there are no worries, then :D

Re: Combat Set Template?
 

I have a slightly greater chance of winning the lottery than going on vacation. :D

Re: Combat Set Template?
 

Er... I thought you were studying... Don't you get summer vacation and such?

Re: Combat Set Template?
 

Nope. :( I'm doing school during summer quarter as well. It was actually kind of nice this last summer, as school is nicely air conditioned. :D

Re: Combat Set Template?
 

I'm still hoping for the theoretical "Dark Combat" (theoretical, as in we have no way to do this (yet)). This would be a combat map where all you see is your own characters and mebbe a circle of light for your torch, whatever lies beyond you don't know...

And low and behold it casts a darkness spell...

Ah... That would be cool. :)

I guess it is still impossible, though - for example, if I make a blank icon and call it an "invisible stalker," the player could still search for it with the cursor until he finds something that says "invisible stalker"...

A darkness/light feature would be nice, although I guess it could wait... (after other things, like monsters who can actually use spells, etc.) After we have this feature, light, continual light, darkness, continual darkness spells would be good, too...

Manikus: summer classes, eh? No wonder you were talking about school during all these summer months! :D

I'm on the "study until you get a good job" program. :)

As for the dark combat, it's a lot more than just graphical to duplicate this effect, as the targeting pointed out already suggests. But, the dreams we each have for after we get to version 1.0....oh, the possibilities. :)
