KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

[Lilliput McHammersmith]

Guys, I had my doubts about the tokens but it actually isn't bad at all. I am loving this right now. It's a lot of fun so far. My Psychic Warrior Drake is freaking sweet.

Looks like the SJWs already arrived to shit on KotC2's monocled design decisions:

Spoiler

tl;dr: someone who claims not to be a rabid progressive gets overly emotional about KotC2 giving different stat bonuses to male and female characters, and when I defend the game's decision he calls me a retarded troglodyte.

 

[xuerebx]

You have LOTS OF PATIENCE JarlFrank. Why waste your time with him when you could be playing!

Rpguy complained about this in the Kickstarter comments and Pierre agreed to change it.

Is it possible to point buy instead of rolling

 

[Dickie]

Nope. I wish. It'd make the fact that halflings get 83 ability points much more interesting.

Well, shit.

I WOULD IF I HAD THAT EMAIL YET

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Now i will spend the entire weekend rolling muh chars.

BlueSalamander why not enable point buy, give us a choice?

Just post your email and request a password and get your download link. Who knows when the email will arrive.
Pierre is probably drunk out of his mind, sleeping somewhere

 

[JarlFrank]

I pledged with PayPal so I didn't get a KS survey email. Need to wait for Pierre to send me my mail personally.

That's why I keep checking in here. Roll 50 times or so trying to get my cleric to have 16+ charisma and 14+ strength, but it's just not happening, so I take a break for a minute. I don't know if it's a bug or what. Max strength for halflings is 16, so it should be possible.

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

I gotta make a sorcerer. INT / WIS / CHA

i keep getting PoE2 muscle wizard rolls

Fuck me...

 

[RNGsus]

Pierre, wake up.

 

[Dickie]

Dammit. Finally rolled the stats I wanted and then I lost power for an instant while picking out spells, and my computer rebooted...

 

[Mortmal]

Seems casting mage armor crash the game, both in and out of combat, blur crash it out of combat... Found quite a few masty bugs too,first time i launched the game 3 characters only were activating.Else the game is great as expected.

Looks like the SJWs already arrived to shit on KotC2's monocled design decisions:

Well, is it really necessary to determine max attributes based on race? If I want a halfling barbarian, I'm gimping myself by not making it a half-giant. I know halflings get more dex, but don't you see that's part of the problem? You know who has high dex? Rogues, or as some would call them: thieves. Do little people not suffer enough injustice? Dragons exist.

btw the game doesn't have a resolution setting that I can find, but instead it seems to use your desktop resolution, and the ui and text look a lot more readable if you run it at a lower resolution (1280x720 looks good to me).

 

[Abu Antar]

Pierre should disable all channels for fans to discuss with him and just do what he wants with the game. No outside interference.

 

[Jvegi]

It's ok, you can read us talking about it.

I'm installing my copy right now.

Hark, hark! Come and get:

SMALL UI FIX

So, the issue with the game is that the menus have been designed on the very bizarre resolution of 1000x730, and while the game scales to your native res, the ui does not. Best possible solution right now is to make a compromise and get everything to run at that.
What this fix does is resize your screen, launch kotc2, then back to native after you close it.

It's set to run on standard installation directories and a 1920x1080 res. If you've got any other configurations, right click kotc2res.bat > edit with notepad and adjust accordingly, it's just 4 lines, super-easy to understand, no programming knowledge required. If something doesn't run, right click > properties > compatibility tab > check admin rights box

UPDATED LINK 2022
ChangeScreenResolution.exe goes to C:\Windows
kotc2res.bat goes to C:\Knights of the Chalice 2
KotC2fix is a shortcut, place on desktop or wherever

 

[Nortar]

The damned SJWs better leave the dwarves alone!

 

[Dr Skeleton]

Yup, mage armor crashes the game.

 

[Dickie]

Creating custom character tokens is pretty easy. Just use any image, put it in here http://rolladvantage.com/tokenstamp/ to get a round token with the border color you want. Resize the image to 64x64, and drop it in "Knights of the Chalice 2/Graphics/Tokens/PlayerCharacter" folder.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

I'm working on it.
Everybody who backed with at least 25$ (minimum pledge for digital download was 20 british pounds which equals roughly 25$) tell me the email address you want the download link sent to (if that email differs from the one in your user profile) and your pledge tier (privately).

 

[Rpguy]

Yup, mage armor crashes the game.

Try this:

I found the easiest way to get around it for mage armor etc. is to select the option for auto-casting these on the character sheet page, "spec" tab.
