I think the hardest of the series to get to level 99 is
King's Field 2, after about level 63 it becomes so tedious .
KF4 is the easiest for me with the experience egg and the
Cerberus(es?) yielding 1000 exp.

After my problems with the aquarion boots the 1st time, I just stopped playin it. Now it's time for round 2, lol I'm playin through it again.
now, the main reason I'm posting: Bugs.

the first thing I've seen was Raffy Foss(i think that was his name) can't be spoken to. It was a bit dissapointing not being able to shop there.

now the second thing: sould you be able to walk through the gate at the castle? (see screenshot below) I kinda doubt it but if you walk to the sides of the gate you can walk to the other side.

now, a minor bug with no advantages/disadvantages: I can run and jump out of a tower and land on top of the wall. nothing can be gained from doing this but its still something I'd still try to fix if other bug are being fixed. (v1.8 anyone? lol) Well thats all I got so far.

Hi Hi ‎  fer those of u who don't know me im new to the forums here but have been a Kf fan fer years and love the games made here. ‎  it also made me think about takin a crack at makin a game myself using this SoM everyones talkin about. ‎  Of course first ill have to figure out how to install and run the tool with a windows 7 OS on my comp lol.. Anyway I figure i can start brain storming ‎  and have come up with a basic idea of how i would want ‎  my game to play ..

Im thinkin of putting emphasis on finding complete suits that will progress u thru the game.. Example ‎  finding the fire sword all the fire mail pieces and perhaps the fire accesory will allow u to walk over lava to previously unaccessible area.. ‎  or water elemental suit to allow underwater breathing ect... ‎  even the basic leather suit could give a small strenght bonus .. thats the very general basics of it.

of course this is all pre mature ‎  as i dont have SoM on my comp as of yet ‎  but hey, gotta start somewhere right? ‎  lol ‎  anyway look forward to playing all the cool games and hope to eventually make one of my own

I've been on out of town to a few pretty places recently and thought I'd post some of the pictures. They're from California and I think most people here are from the East Coast or over seas so maybe someone will find the scenery interesting.

This is King's Canyon National Park (a nature preserve) which is actually just up the road from where I live, but I don't go there too often.

The mountains here are solid marble and about 6000ft. The valley was eroded out by the pictured King's River which is pretty much a raging death trap from snow melt this time of year -over 2000 cubic feet per second of ice cold water over jagged rocks. The bridge is made of huge granite chunks- straight out of King's Field! ‎ 


If you look close, you can see white 'poles' on the mountain in the above picture. They're a local cactus plant called 'yucca'. It grows 7-9 feet tall and gets beautiful white flower clusters. Note the waterfall in left-background of the first picture. ‎ 




The Yucca spines are deadly tough. I've gotten impaled on them more than once while hiking.


These are from of the Pacific Ocean which is about 100 miles away from King's Canyon. They're pretty typical for most of California's coast line.



Sea Lions are evidently quite the pests. In this picture, they took over a pier and were sunning themselves. The big one in the middle is a male. ‎ 


A relatively low range of mountains (1000~5000ft) runs up most of California's coastline so there's usually not a lot of flatland for towns before you hit steep hills. A lot of the coastal cities are carved into the side of hills because of this. This picture shows the coastal range as seen from near the ocean.


If anyone else wants to post pictures of their locale, I love that kind stuff! :)

I've been havin a bit of trouble with some events so I'll describe what it is I'm tryin to do.

Each time the player levels up they have a choice to choose an extra point for str or mag. I can never get ‎  the events correct cause they always end in an infinite loop. I then got a better idea and tried to give the player an item so they could use in on a “trainer†‎ NPC (so the events wouldn't be needed on every map) and yet again, another infinite loop of endless items. (Well, 255 of them, lol) ‎ 

If anyone could understand my ramblings could you help me? I'm still learning the events still, lol. ‎ 

Since nobody else has mentioned it yet, I decided to post this.

If you have created a runtime, it would be great to save it as installer package.

Install Maker
This is the program that will help you create an executable for the game.

I don't think this will need any "how-to"-s because it has a very user friendly interface.
The best thing about this program is that it is completely FREE!!!

I think its about time we begin centralizing all the knowledge and data collected within these forum pages.

I am in the process of adding a new site wiki and have generated a beginning wiki page in two locations using two different wiki backends.

The first site is the one I have put a bit more effort into, it is developed from mediawiki, the same wiki source that wikipedia uses and will be familiar for anyone who writes on those pages. ‎  For examples I have already loaded a few pages from wikipedia itself into the pages (some that are likely edited by some of the members here like Guyra) but you will see a few things that arent quite fully functional yet such as broken links and missing templates...but I am working on it.

This is the site id really like to use: swordofmoonlight.com/somwiki and you can go ahead and create accounts and begin using it if you wish. keep in mind you have to register seperately on the wiki site and you will be required to authenticate your email before you can begin adding pages and editing.

Alternatively, we are also looking at a wiki utility created by 'lionwiki'. ‎  its current address resides at swordofmoonlight.com/wiki and you can browse what little i have there if you want. ‎  unfortunately im not as familiar with it so it is not as far along as the other wiki site for you to view its capabilities.

Over the next few days myself and a couple others will be determining which wiki site will provide us with the functionality and ease of use we are looking for, but for now if you have opinions please chime in.

I reached one of my goals last night.

My fiance is operating the camera, and that's her voice.
I'm not much for the guy to my left having his hand on the bar, but based on how relaxed his hands are, and how the weights go up, I don't think he took anything off.

This morning, I feel like I've been hit by a car. ‎  ( ^ - ^)

Creatura got me thinking about extracting KF models with textures and all. I did some checking and KF textures are stored in a TIM format with an altered header which means they can't be auto-extracted with a standard TIM tool.

But if anyone cares to take the time, it should be easy enough to make a simple byte swapping program to convert KF textures to standard TIM files (which can easily be converted to BMPs). I made a document with some info on KF's format
HERE.

It also includes a copy of the "RTIM.T" file off the KF disk whose 64x64 pixel textures have been converted to standard TIMs using just a 'search/replace' feature in a hex editor. There's also some extracted textures and the complete Kraken enemy in MQO format.

Not sure if you guys remember kilroy from back in the day, his first xbox indie game just released, and eventhough its checkers, it has a very king's fieldish element to it;)

scroll through the images here and youll see some of the rpg elements and the obvious nod at the KF style of gameplay. ‎  I bought it immediately ( i had play tested it of course) and couldnt be happier with my well spent $1.
