Hi All,

 

Was wondering if someone could clear something up for me. I think ive just played through all of the available game and did not see how to raise summons and transform into enemies. At the below URL, it says that these features were available in version 0.16. Is this currenty possible and if so, how do you do it?

Thanks

 

Ryan

Hey Ryan,

Where did you install Flare from?  If it was from the Ubuntu software store, it was only 0.15, and these features would be missing (easy way to tell if you have a version above 0.15 - the configuration menu at the title screen wasn't implemented until 0.16).

Second, there are (to my knowledge) no player abilities implementing either of those features in the alpha demo right now.  Summoning can be seen if you find the Ancient Temple, and there are some gravestones that spawn zombies repeatedly.  To see transforms in action, you can edit your savefile to give yourself power #135.  It's all plaintext, pretty easy, but the savefile may be in a different place depending on your OS or install method.

OK thats for the info. I downloaded the code from github a couple of days ago and compiled it from there so it should be the latest dev version. So I guess that the summoning functionality is only used to spawn new enemies at the moment, rather than for player summons.

So transforming into enemies is not yet there storywise in flare-game.
However you can edit your save file, which is usually found at  ~/.local/share/flare/save[1..4].txt (for linux). 
Look out for line actionbar=<numbers> and replace one number (better take a 0) by 135.
This will give you the powre to transform into an antlion freezer for 5 seconds.

As said storywise ther is no use of transforms in flare-game. Maybe you want to try out polymorphable or concordia, which do use this feature in the stories.

Thanks for the info. I have seen the antlion transform skill in action. Its very nice. Good job on this and on the rest of the game.

I have also been looking at the code and will be attempting to add some enhancements over the coming weeks. I will post my results on the forum if sucessfull.

Also note that in the lastest master, there's a new "stealth" power in mainline Flare that uses the transform power.
