Temple+ August Update news

Howdy folks, happy to say it's time for another update!

Temple+ v1.0.15 is out, and with it you can choose two new classes at levelup: The Eldritch Knight and the Mystic Theurge.

To enable the new Prestige Classes, you have to go into the House Rules menu and check Prestige Classes. Oh yes :)

They seem simple enough, but entire systems had to be ripped apart to support the spell extension feature. The cool part is that much of the Class and Levelup system internals has been exposed to the Python API, so you could create new classes yourself or mod the existing ones! So step right up modder folks, you have some new toys to play with...

Along the way we've also added a couple of other player requested House Rules options: Tolerant Townsfolk and Fog of War options. In addition the Co8 item 'Ring of Resonance' will now replenish Sorcerer spells too, and Monks now get to decide whether to choose Improved Disarm or Improved Trip at level 6. Just as you guys asked for :) As always thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming!

Meanwhile, Pug has upgraded the game engine to DX11. It won't affect anything visually other than perhaps rendering speed, but it makes our life easier when debugging the game. Additionally, the game's fonts can now be edited via the mapping file found in the Temple+ installation tpdata\folder. You can also put new TTF font files in there and add them! Now, some UIs still have to be enlarged to support higher font sizes, but those of you squinting at the screen might want to go ahead and change it anyway. Pug's currently hammering at a new Qt-based UI infrastructure so we'll have an easier time replacing and enlarging the old interfaces.

The next couple of classes to be done will be the Dwarven Defender and the Duelist. The Magicians had their fun, now it's time for some old fashioned skull bashers :) These should be relatively simple to do, and will hopefully be out in a month or so.

So what are ya waiting for, head on over to the House Rules menu and check that box :)

Cheers,

Cattle & Pug

Update: It took a bit less time than expected, but v1.0.16 is out, adding the Dwarven Defender and the Duelist =D The next PrC will be the Arcane Trickster.

Update nr. 2: Arcane Trickster is out along with v1.0.17! Well, sans Ranged Legerdemain, but it's not very useful in ToEE anyway.
