A bug-fix release: combat behaves more like the original, with monsters' shots that fly, spells that finish before the next turn, and a few monster and item rules put right. The trap puzzles' diamonds can now be pushed with the mouse.

You need the original game (sold on GOG). BaK-Again contains nothing from it; on first start it asks for the folder that holds KRONDOR.001.

Fixed

  • Monster shots now fly. Crossbowmen, Shades and the other ranged monsters used to hit you without anything crossing the arena. Their bolts, balls and globs now fly to the target and cast a shadow, the special shots burst or flash on the victim as in the original, and the damage number appears when the shot lands.
  • Your own crossbow shoots a bolt. The party's crossbow shots used to fly the thrown-rock sprite in a bouncing arc. They now fly a flat arrow, as in the original.
  • The next turn waits for a spell to finish. A cast used to hand the turn on while its effect was still playing. The caster's turn now ends once the effect has landed.
  • Roric's Seal can backfire. In the original it goes off in the user's own hand 30% of the time; in BaK-Again it always went off on the target.
  • The Dread rests when it gives up. A Dread that neither attacks nor casts now rests and recovers a little, and only sometimes raises its guard. It used to always raise its guard and never recover.
  • Trap puzzles: pushing diamonds with the mouse. Clicking the ground on a diamond next to the party now pushes it; before, every push by mouse was refused. A diamond pushed onto crystal ground fires its beam over the run it lights and stays drawn until its burst ends.
  • Wordlock chests: the alien letters. A second click on a wordlock chest while its riddle was still loading started the puzzle twice, and a turned wheel then showed the alien font. A chest now answers one click at a time.

Everything else is as in v0.3.1-beta.
