Armour questions #54

Closed damienhurrell closed 4 years ago

damienhurrell commented 4 years ago

Now that ER allows more armour types, I thought I'd have a look around for some options.

The first item I thought of was the crown in the beginner's forest: I've travelled there, freed the fairy but when I try to wear it I get the error message "Error: Cannot read property 'id' of null"

If I then pick it up I can wear it, but it doesn't change my armour class, and I don't retain it when I get back to the main hall. I don't know if you intended for it to be armour, but right now it isn't.

So next I went to the Cave of the Mind: there's a helmet there that I could wear, but it also doesn't seem to be armour. It has special qualities in the adventure but it's still a hat made of metal: it would probably protect a player at least a little.

Do the attributes of these items need to be updated? Or do you think they are not armour?

I note the helmet in the assault on the Clone master has an AC of 1 and is retained when returning to the hall.

The "wear crown" error in the Beginner's Forest is fixed. (You do still have to pick it up first.)

I also gave an armor type and armor class to the other items you mentioned. Those adventures were ported before I added the capability of having armor types other than body armor and shields. I never went back and updated the items, but it makes sense now that I think about it. The combat in some adventures is certainly tough enough that the extra 1 AC will be useful.

BTW, I added the helmet armor type while I was writing Clone Master, so that's why that one was set up with an AC of 1.

There's also a helmet in the Stronghold of Kahr-dur, which I suspect isn't currently armor because it doesn't effect AC, can be worn simultaneously with another helmet, and isn't retained at the end of the adventure.

I'd really like to keep it with all its powers.
