| + | |||
| + | Packaged as part of SuSE 5.3. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Packaged as part of Suse 6.2. Package name is "crosfire". Reports version of 0.93.5, Release 68. Build date is July 22, 1999. Source RPM is crosfire-0.93.5-68.src.rpm. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The manpage may be out of date, as it reports version 0.93.1. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This version has network support, but by default launches a gui window directly. Commandline flags can be used to control server behavior, notably "-server". | ||
| + | |||
| + | This version defaults to using XBM monochrome graphics, with colored tint. In XBM mode, only one image can render on a tile at a time, since there is no transparency. using the commandline flag "-xpm" will make it use color XPM graphics, though it may be slow to load (takes several seconds on a 66mhz CPU) | ||
| + | |||
| + | A few gameplay notes: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * This version does not appear to have pupland at all. The dragon area of Scorn's port has no usable dragons. | ||
| + | * Scorn is missing the Street of the Gods, instead a few temples are sprinkled around the city. Goth's tavern is in the Port area. What would become the Scorn palace is a closed stronghold. | ||
| + | * Food consumption must be managed, as it will easily kill you if you go AFK. | ||
| + | * While there are individual skills, they are grouped into "experience categories" for accruing levels. For example, gaining a level in "physique" will affect melee weapons, missile weapons, and throwing. Other categories include "agility" (disarm traps), "personality" (oratory), "mental" (find traps, literacy), and "misc." (use magic item). | ||
| + | * Races and classes are not really separated. When creating a character, you can choose things like warrior, human, fireborn, mage, etc. | ||
| + | * Different weapons do have different attack speed, but they don't state the speed when exmaining the weapon. Still, it's usually more efficient to have a harder hitting weapon, even if it's a bit slower. | ||
| + | * At Str 20, the player begins to lose speed while holding about 300kg of items. | ||
| + | * Shops do not specialize, you can sell your loot anywhere. | ||
| + | * Altars, even those in churches that should be associated with a specific deity, have been assigned another deity seemingly at random. It's not clear if this is a bug in this release, or in the build tested (Suse 6.2) | ||
| + | * Darcap is on its own small continent, called "Dtabb land", along with the fire volcano and some other maps | ||
| + | * Wolfsburg and its tropical island is accessible from Scorn by ship | ||
| + | * Since there is no permanent exp, dying repeatedly can be very punishing, especially if you cannot afford or find potions of restoration (now called potions of life) | ||
