Hello everyone! Here's a big update for KotC 2. It's mainly a bug-fixing update, but there are new features too.
The new features include a tooltip informing you about the
number of possible targets in range
whenever you mouse over a spell icon, and a new shortcut key (Left Shift) to
buy five items
from any NPC in one go.
In the Module Editor, you can now create
party-defeated scripts
for any encounter where the story continues after the player is defeated in combat. This can be used when the party is split (see the duel with Jorad for instance) or for any scenario where the party members are captured rather than killed at the end of the fight.
Here is the complete list of changes in version
1.36
:
- When selecting spells during level-up, the tooltip and colour information indicating whether you have a scroll of a given spell will now take into account any
scrolls placed inside containers
.
- The level-up
Hit Point roll
will now be saved when you close a character's level-up window and then reopen it.
- When opening a treasure chest on the map, or some other container on the map, if the container is empty, the displayed label will include '
(Empty)
'. For example: << Crate (Empty) >>.
- When mousing over spells in the Character Sheet or in the spell quickbar, for most spells the tooltip will now let you know
how many targets are within range of your spell
.
- In the Inventory Screen, picking up an item from the floor or from some container on the map will no longer close your inventory's bag slots. Also, buying an item from someone will no longer close your bag slots.
- When trading with someone, you can now
buy five items in one go
using the Left Shift key. Either push Left Click and click on the item you want to buy, or mouse over the item you want to buy and push Left Shift + B. Also added a mention of this shortcut key in the help system.
- Losing the match against Jorad the Barbarian
will not result in losing the game, if you have at least one surviving party member. Also, in the Module Editor you can now set a script that will control what happens after the party loses a battle.
- During combat, when mousing over a creature, the
initiative list
will automatically scroll to that creature so you can more easily see the creature's position in the initiative list.
- The game will now hide the square grid when displaying spell animations.
- Fixed a source of crashes when the party is split into two groups, if you have inactive recruited companions. Also, when the party is split or exploring special areas (sweltering, freezing or underwater areas), you won't be able to activate or deactivate characters in the Formation Screen.
