Blimey it's been quiet in here recently! Anyway, just downloaded the latest build of CF and it seems pretty good Rich. You've got the right atmosphere going on...
Thanks quirky.. Yes it has been too quiet around here. It doesn't seem a very active group does it? Can you explain a bit more about the ghost not being able...
... Not the busiest :) But it was a bit more active when we had some disassembled Chaos code thing going on. ... Sorry - didn't explain myself very well - I...
... Sorry for going quiet, real life bit me hard as said, and now i'll fly to Cebit and a week or two in Belgium. After that, i promise to put an effort into...
Does anyone know what number value magic attacks such as Justice, Decree use? I assume they compare 'some number' against a creature's magic resistance. But...
... 7! It seemed to work well and give a decent "feel", but I don't know if it's 100% authentic. I have been "doing a Bo" recently and trying to figure out...
This table came out a bit muddled in format, I only realised when I was trying to figure some stuff out (see my previous post) Is this what you meant Bo? No...
There is a semi-Chaos clone located on www.gamesdomain.com in their multiplayer section. A java applet called the castle has many fun games on it, but there...
How are you doing Rich? Any news? No updates on your site for a couple of weeks now... ("is it done yet?" ;)) I've managed to disassemble some more of Z80...
I'm hard at work on non-creature spells! :) I'll try to do a new update this weekend and I have next week off work, so expect to see a lot of progress. I would...
... Made some progress on exactly this subject last night. If you look at Sean Irvine's comments file (in the files section of the group) then he wrote a bit...
Um, I'm thinking of making a pseudo-sequel to Lords Of Chaos (called Lands Of Chaos) and was wondering if anyone knew how it calculated the various things like...

I don't know about that, but did you know that the LOS in Chaos is based on the acutal graphics displayed. There's a certain angle when shooting past the King...

... I've disassembled the line of sight stuff in Chaos and it really does use the graphics display to find out when it crosses another creature. Pain in the...
Well, I think Chaos Funk will just work with whether a cell is empty or not. On another note, Chaos Funk has been updated, you now have some non- creature...
OK, here it is... the secrets of Chaos's superb AI revealed at last! ... The method that Chaos uses for the AI spells is a byte pair "priority - index" table....

Quirky, thanks very much for this useful and interesting info! I'm just working on implementing castles in Chaos Funk. Do you happen to know how the chance of...

Quirky, are you sure this is right: loop for each square in the arena if square contains a citadel/castle if rand(10) > 2 explode castle end if end if end loop...

... You're both absolutely right. It was a typo, honest ;) It should be "if rand(10) > 2 do not destroy the castle", because that is the way round the logic is...
I notice in your demo, the blob and fire never seem to over-write each other Is this how it works in the game? I always assumed that they could Dan ... ...
Ok, Magic Wood's seem to be working fine in Chaos Funk (my version). But I don't have the automatic spellcasting of magic wood trees as in the speccy/atari...
