Hello,

First of all, sorry I haven't had much chance to work on the game for the past year (or more)...

However I have managed to make a new version of "telewand" that fixes the bugs where the wand fails to work sometimes, and with the teleport sound not playing.

See attached "telewand_v1-2.zip".

I will upload this to the main server shortly so it should be ready for testing at the weekend :)

Knights Discussion / Re: Mac OS port

Hi, thanks for that, that's quite cool :)

I've been asked about a Mac port before, but I'm not a Mac user so haven't been able to do one myself. Now at least I can point people towards your package :)

Thanks again.

Last post by ezobraz - August 04, 2016, 02:37:23 PM

Hello everyone. I had no success compiling source code for mac os, but windows version works fine with Wine. So, here is my wrapper with game included download. Just download and launch. Tested on Mac OS 10.11 El Capitan.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

They still have Greenlight, though I have no idea how the process works.

Still, I think Knights has a very good chance of being accepted into Steam. With fairly simplistic gameplay, fun dungeon crawling, flexible rules and goals, and an interesting take on multiplayer-rouge-like. And of course it's free, which ought to win it some brownie points.

Of course there's only one way to find out. ;)

Knights Discussion / "No stun" mod (experimental)

Last post by Stephen - October 19, 2015, 06:32:24 PM

There was some discussion in-game a couple of weeks ago that maybe we should remove the "stun" effect (where your knight is "frozen" for a short time after being hit by a sword or other weapon).

To test this out I have thrown together a quick mod that turns off the stun effect.

I haven't done any "real" testing but my first impression is that combat seems to run a bit quicker, so maybe we will have to increase the weapon swing times to compensate. (That is easy enough to do though.)

Anyway if anyone wants to try this out, all you do is:

• Make a folder called "no_stun" in your mods directory (knights_data/server/)
• Place the file init.lua (attached) in that directory
• Edit "main.lua" and add the line: require ("no_stun")

Interesting idea.

Please forgive my ignorance but do they still have the steam greenlight thing? (does anyone know)

And if so, what do we think the chances of Knights getting through it are?

How's about placing Knights in a game distributing service like Steam? It'll be a very good way to gain much deserve interest in the game I'm sure.

Hi Newk,

That sounds like a really good idea... and I'll certainly put it on the download page if you manage to get something working.

For dependencies take a look at the following page:
http://www.knightsgame.org.uk/manual/building.html

Near the top you'll see a big list of all the Linux packages you'll need. (Strictly speaking it's for debian, but ubuntu should be the same...)

Let us know how you get on :)
