the gold ones were the ones you had to pick to disarm the trap and the black ones are the ones that just wasted your time. theres no way to choose wich tile to pick though..

Just click and wait - or hit the abort button. The little business it does with the animation is for show. there's no way you can influence it.

well, if your realy having trouble with a lock you can start over whenever it goes on a black tile (you'l know a few after your first try) and it might help just a little bit

That's the play when you're working with someone with a low Locks & Traps skill:
Wait until you're halfway through the red bar, then abort and try again. As long as the lock's not rated as Intricate (pretty much impossible), two or three tries like that will get you open. |

Grrr... I tried responding earlier, but the board crapped out on me
Each lock is composed of up to 9 tumblers. As your rogue tries them, they turn either black (if not in use) or gold (if they're in use and he or she succeeds). If you abort your attempt to pick the lock and start over, the tumbler setting remains the same. One of the tricks I use in the early game is to try to pick the lock and see which tumblers are involved. If my rogue starts working on a tumbler that isn't in use, I abort and start over. Amazing how easy it can be to pick locks if you only work on the active tumblers...

me neither, not for a really long time. Perhaps it was an internet routing problem. You know, when a truck hits a routing building somewhere in the the Carolinas and then all traffic between x and y gets confusingly re-routed until they find a new permanent route for it. Internet still seems fine because you still receive web pages that aren't on that rout.

I haven't heard of anything in that realm recently, and this was the first time it had happened to me in a while.
*edit* I should mention that I know that Ziroc changed some things, but I don't remember the details. They're probably still buried on the GD boards, or perhaps even up at the top. Unfortunately, I was out of the habit of saving early and often when I posted... But I'm over it, honestly! [ 12-06-2004, 09:55 AM: Message edited by: Bungleau ]
