Problems with weapon experience
« on: November 30, 2016, 04:38:45 am »
Ok, so here is the thing: I had a long-time adventure mode game in 40.24 and I decided yo update because of all the new possibilities. So, with a little grief I said goodbye to good old Dolak (My previous swordsmaster) and I started a new game. I really loved the new character creation, I think it gives it much more depth to the game.

I got equipment, got a companion so I wouldn't get destroyed by bogeymen and set course to the nearest necromancy tower so I could level up my combat skills killing a horde of zombies. Problem is... My swordsman skill does not get up at all, I got a lot of experience in fighter and even some in dodger and shield user. But 0 in swordsman.

After trying to get experience by other means, parrying seems to work. Anybody knows why attacking with a sword doesn't give swordsman experience?

I know it sounds kind of obvious, but are you sure you're using a sword?

Are you using LNP/DFHack? (It probably doesn't include DFHack for the latest version, though, if that's what you're playing.)

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

No, I actually don't. The only thing "new" I am using is a Tileset. Normally I used Phoebus but since it didn't actualice I am using another one (Rally ho) but I doubt that haves something to do with it.
