[MOD] Shadows of Grim Moon

[xhantos]

"Solve the puzzle where there are 2 pits, 2 plates and then 2 pits, around the middle of the east edge of the map."
Thanks for the 'spoiler' xhantos, but I do not have a clue to do this. The only way I see to solve this puzzle is to wait for a spider (I heard them behind the walls, creepy!) and shoot the poor thing. This way an arrow of other item will drop on the plate, which in turn will open a pit. In all other cases the plates are too far or too distant.
So I camped beside the pits for a while, but nothing turns up and I just got hungry again. In other words, could you give an additional clue please?

OK, here comes the clue:

SpoilerShow

You need to throw something on one of the pressure plates (any plate will do). If you throw a rock or an arrow, it will go too far and won't land on a plate. You need to throw something else, something which will land on the plate.

Save the game, try throwing everything you have. That's how I solved this one.

Thanks xhantos. Sometimes I feel I'm getting too old for these games....

Great work Xhantos! I noticed one missing secret, that you've found but haven't listed:

SpoilerShow

On level 5 the small compartment where you can find the shortbow. Opened by the secret button in Valnaak's tomb.

Some have reported crashing that has something to do with the Trickster's Key. I can't get it to crash and don't see anything wrong in my script, but I'm pasting it to below (and the puzzle mechanism) so someone smarter than me can point if there's problems in it.

Code: Select all

    function itemCheck(item)
       for champ = 1,4 do
       for slot = 1,31 do
          x = party:getChampion(champ):getItem(slot)
          if x ~= nil then
          if x.name == item then
             party:getChampion(champ):removeItem(slot)
             print("item removed")
			 trickAltar:addItem(spawn("trickster_key"))
			 refTimer:deactivate()
          end
          end   
       end   
       end   
    end



    function checkKey()
		itemCheck("trickster_key")
		if getMouseItem() ~= nil then
			if getMouseItem().name == "trickster_key" then
				setMouseItem()
				trickAltar:addItem(spawn("trickster_key"))
				refTimer:deactivate()
			end
		end
    end

On deactivate altar('trickAltar') triggers timer('refTimer') with 1s interval that triggers checkKey function.

Thanks Zeltak.

Update: Updated secrets list.

Hi

can someone please pm me about the level 7 puzzle?

Thanks

On L2 the right-hand (as you look @ the map) trap-door & teleport puzzle has me stumped. I can't turn off the initial square teleport... and that makes it impossible to navigate the trap-doors to turn off the other teleports! What have I missed? Any help appreciated.

You have noticed the button on the right side wall, before the room?

[ElfBane]

Yes, I push the button but the initial square still teleports me back to the stairs.

[Numberouane]

yes same for me we might have missed something...
Pushing it does nothing so far that I can notice

[zeltak]

So the teleport configuration doesn't change when you press the button (although, the button is just for reseting purposes, teleports are initially in the right place..)? If it is so, then it's strange as it has been working from the day 1, and it's still working on my editor testing.
