=== New UI and Game Changes === | |||
* [[Game Concepts]] | |||
** In rare cases where monsters slowly are being killed while they are unable to counterattack, the experience points awarded will be reduced. See the [[Announcements - 2000/06 - The Paths of Destruction#Letter to the Players|Letter to the Players]] for more details. | |||
* [[User Interface]] | |||
** Added patron title and name to character appraisal, under the monarch info. | |||
** Default keymap will no longer have “v” mapped to drop items. No more “Control-V” or “type 'vibe'" abuses with the default keymap! If you use a customized keymap, you should consider unmapping this key, as it can cause you to drop an item by accident or as the result of following unscrupulous advice. | |||
** Spellcasting bar now has new keyboard functionality, as requested! Here's more on the UI for spellcasting bars: | |||
** Players can switch tabs by clicking on them, or by pressing Next/Previous-TAB keys. These use the SAME keys as the player's currently mapped Increase/Decrease Power/Accuracy keys. | |||
*** Also: | |||
**** CTRL + Prev Tab = First Tab | |||
**** CTRL + Next Tab = Last Tab | |||
** Now the Low-Attack/High-Attack keys are mapped to Previous/Next Spell when in Spellcasting mode. | |||
*** Also: | |||
**** CTRL + Prev Spell = First Spell in List | |||
**** CTRL + Next Spell = Last Spell in List | |||
* [[Skills]] | |||
** Specialized skills that are very advanced will take less XP than before to improve. Those with very high specialized skills may see those skills jump up a bit. | |||
