That sounds good Sean. And thanks for the pathfinding compliment. :) ... From: "Sean A. Irvine" <sairvin@...> Reply-To: gooeyblob@yahoogroups.com To:...
Yes, the actual defence modifier can be found in "Combat attack" (b168) at b22f where there is a +3 defence if shadow form. This is on top of the shield/armour...
Hi, Just tried out the spectrum emulator. http://www.spectrum.lovely.net/Chaos.html I cast shadow form and my initial movement range is 1. After I move once it...
Wizards loose shadow when they attack, not when defending. ... Yes, shadow form has 3 for movement as well as +3 defence. It starts out as 1 because it looks...
A kind soul provided me with a copy of the Edge magazine Chaos article. Hopefully the publishers wont be upset about me posting the text of the article, after...
Thanks for the document that you have uploaded about programming techniques used in games like Chaos. It will be very useful to me, though it may take me a few...
Yes, thanks for that Sean. Although I do disagree on some of what's in the documtent. I think with today's computers there is less of a need for efficient, but...
Hey, I just want everyone who is playing Chaos Groove to know that I made a creature graphics set and have uploaded it here. The file is called "pieces.rar"...
I've uploaded another chapter; this time on some simple graphical effects that can be applied to cells of various sizes. ... In theory you should be able to...
Amazing! I don't really understand it but I enjoyed looking at all the pictures. It was nice to see the Red Dragon appearing a lot and the twirl too. Also the...
... I think I found the source of the (incorrect) rumour about the increase in maneuverabilty. Your Sinclair, May 1993, in its instructions for its second...
... Sorry, but I don't believe either of these claims. The only benefit I can see to casting an illusory rat is that it cannot be subverted (subversion always...
Not really a dubious claim, but I also found 'Lions' to nearly always go down under one attack regardless of whether it was a dragon or a giany rat, It became...
Its true. I've always felt that King Cobras would kill whatever they attacked, even dragons. I used to assume that they had some special poison rule. ...
I did pretty well with manticores in hand to hand combat, but their ranged combat is pretty useless. I think the thing with King Cobras is that they're small...
... hey yes.. I did it several times.. (kill a dragon witha cobra). Really its a memorable action.. but you have to be lucky if the dragon dont kill the cobra...
I've just uploaded a preliminary version of my revised notes on Chaos. I decided it was better do get it out there now rather than wait until it is polished...
The interrupt routine for updating the animations appears to contain a noddy little fragment that scans the keyboard and exists the animation loop if the CAPS...
I think if you call KEY-SCAN (028E) you get a value from 1 to 40 (or 01..28 hex) in E, and D is a previous key. If you call KEYBOARD (02BF) it returns a...
Hi, Sorry for raising a dead thread here, but what do the Tempest and Teleport spells do in the modified version of Chaos? I've searched through the archives...
Hi Rich, yes, I don't think I explained how Tempest and Teleport work. I have an explanation on my site though. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/mmcvittie/chaos/ ...
... I forget which is which, but depending on whether you play the Games Workshop original, the Firebird re-release or the one that was on the cover of a...
In my text I meant to say CAPS SHIFT not CAPS LOCK. The routine called is indeed KEY_SCAN at 028E. The ROM disassembly says: "In all instances the E register...
