- The following is a list of changes that were made to Moria V2.0
-
- - Stores keepers are now friendlier, they will now give regular customers
- better prices without having to haggle as much. The purchase and sell
- haggling is seperate, so even if you have purchased a lot of stuff from
- a store, you will still have to haggle the first few times you sell
- something.
-
- - Females are different then Males (this may be news to some of you). Females
- are faster (dexterity) and Males and stronger (Strength).
-
- - FASTER, Faster, faster... (You'll see the difference).
-
- - The character statistics now change colors. The hit points and mana
- turn green when thay are at their max, white when slightly down, yellow
- when below 50% and red when below 25%. The chacteristics stats (strength,
- wisdom, intelligence, dexterity, constitution, charisma and experience
- points) turn yellow if they are below their max.
-
- - Color messages are now displayed. The messages can be toggled off (all
- white) and on (colors) by using the k command (or corresponding menu item).
- See MORIA.DOC for a description of what each color means.
-
- - The town level is now prettier. The buildings look more like buildings. The
- doors are always on the right or bottom side of the building. The sign on
- the roof of the building indicates the type of the store.
-
- - You can move the character using the mouse. Just click on the screen and
- the character will attempt to move towards the pointer. The following
- picture shows which direction the character will move if you click in the
- area where the arrow resides. The X in the center is the character.
-
- ^

-
- - You can use the mouse to identify creatures or objects on the display.
- Just type a '/' and then select the item with the Mouse. The item can be
- anywhere on the display (even in another room (hint, hint)).
-
- - There are now different symbols for the different wall types in the
- dungeon. The quartz viens are lighter. The Magma veins are darker.
-
- - There are 28 new items in the lower levels of the dungeon. (They were
- really there before but we had them buried a little too deep.)
-
- - Miscellaneous. (I'm not go'na tell ya! So there!!)
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The following is list of changes to Moria v1.0:
-
- - by popular request, Moria V2.0 now has font type graphics for all
- critters and objects.
-
- - the following weapons have been enhanced/added :
- o Defenders (defends better)
- o Holy Avenger (a must for any worthy Paladin)
- o Holy Defender (new, guess!)
- o Godly Might (Balrog's Bane, as well as for most everything else)
-
- - stairs MAY take you up/down more than one level.
-
- - characters may now go up to the 50th level (extras spells will be added
- in the next version).
-
- - time is now displayed, instead of turns. The format is:
- ddd hh:mm:ss ddd - days,
- hh - hours (military),
- mm - minutes,
- ss - seconds (10 per turn)
-
- - resting will automatically terminate when the player is fully rested.
-
- - mana and hit points are updated on the display, as you recover.
-
- - the character screen now displays the characters maximum stats, as
- well as the current stats (don't want to waste to many restore potions).
-
- - modified the basic starting equipment for characters. All fighter types
- now get leather armor, with the Warrior getting Studded Leather and a
- shield (only fair, since all the other classes get spells).
-
- - pickup mode has been added. You can enable/disable auto pickup (now you
- don't have to walk around all the junk in the dungeon). Note that the
- game starts with auto-pickup OFF (keypad 5, rest one turn, will pickup
- an item that you are standing on). The mode is toggled using the ',' key.
-
- - just for you people who insists on playing brain dead characters, there
- is now an emergency exit from a level. If you get into a situation where
- you simply can't locate a staircase, or you're getting your buns baked.
- Try 'groveling' and just maybe, a nice deity will assist you. Don't
- forget, all things have a price!
-
- - modified the way some of the creatures play, as well as the experience
- points received for dealing with them. Also, added a few critters (some
- of them will help you carry some of your objects and that nasty mithril).
-
- - you can now recall up to 25 messages, using ^M.
