It doesn't seem obnoxious to me, and I don't really see much being done here, 3 little pieces of plan have been posted, but thats about it.
Yeah. And I'm having to reply to things and trollings.

Last night I was in a pizza place (which also has burgers, ice cream and salad bar) and I saw some girl eating her salad with chopsticks. It took her a good 20 minutes to get anywhere with her meal (maybe a fifth of the salad if she was lucky), by which time her friends were ready to leave.
Not necessarily related to your little "projectu" but I figured it was pretty funny anyways.

Um, could you quit spamming my topic and generally being obnoxious in here and other places where things actually get done?

Um, not anime shit.
Think less Gundam and more Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Often you reach a plateau that is hard to get over, especially with wis/int and you need just a few more points to get to 40
Not really.
so avoid the fancy flames and make it a red hot weapon. make a new material class of red hot XXXX that has red colors and give weapon burning ability
Why would Loricatus do this? I can see things likea weapon splashing hot iron on people but.. just hot and burning?
Because it is funny and will fool people into drinking it, but there are a few ways that a smart IVAN player would use this to his advantage.
It's.. not funny. It's pretty cheesy and what I'm trying to avoid in my own patches.
Nah, an Orc would eat Genetrix for lunch. She may be strong when you have 12 AS and shitty armour but she's a pansy (pun intended - get plant-pansy huh huh, c'mon its not that bad) even a goblin could do her in.
Unless you count in her constantly summoning greater carnivorous plants, so she'd essentially be like a Aliens queen.
Goblins don't get cargo loaders.
you didn't like my ring idea, what about making rings enchantable then.
That's probably overpowered but I could see about a guy in town who does it for a ridiculous amount and some strange items.
Champion gifts:
Legifer: Scroll of Magic Mapping (only usable once but shows the WHOLE level you are in)
Atavus: Already Scroll of Wishing?
Dulcis: Lyre of Charm.
Seges: A bread that has veery high nutrition value, and doesn't spoil.
Sophos: Amulet of Charging (charges a wand every 24 hours) - Idea by my brother

Sophos: Amulet of Charging (charges a wand every 24 hours) - Idea by my brother
Legifer: That's silly and not worth the time. It also doesn't make sense for the god of law and order. A new scroll that does massive damage to nearby chaotic enemies, maybe or any other number of ideas.
Atavus: That's actually remotely worth it.
Dulcis: Easy enough to find in most games.
Seges: WOO BREAD THAT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT EVEN THOUGH SEGES FILLS YOU USUALLY WHEN YOU PRAY
Sophos: The god of knowledge shouldn't have that! That's not his territory D:
Silva: Polymorphs you into a huge wolf.
Loricatus: Grants you limitless Scroll of Repair as a repair hammer.
Mellis: Raises your relations with all gods.
Loricatus: Grants you limitless Scroll of Repair as a repair hammer.
Mellis: Raises your relations with all gods.
Silva: woohoo there goes my chances of living
Loricatus: He's already a limitless scroll of repair and also my best buddy.
Mellis: But he already does this each prayer, partially!
Cleptia: Gives you a permanent haste.
Nefas: Gives a Hula-Hula Doll that you can sell for 3000.
Scabies: Gives you a weapon with small damage, but it contracts leprosy to enemies it hits.
Infuscor: Gives you Staff of Striking (a limitless wand of striking)
Cruentus: Increases your ASTR and LSTR by 5.
Nefas: Gives a Hula-Hula Doll that you can sell for 3000.

Scabies: Why not stick with a venom blade?
Infuscor: Overpowered.
Cruentus: Massively, massively underpowered.

Easier way to do colors?
in forum Other Coding
The four materials in a picture are defined by M1-M4. Each of those uses up 15 colors on the palette.
0-190 are non-changing colors.
Look up a tutorial on HTML color systems to understand the 0-FF system.

Ideas
in forum Suggestions and Ideas
Scroll of disenchantment (or wand): rare like SOCM or wand of mirroring/cloing. When you read/use it, it takes an enchanted item (armour/weapon) and removes its enchantment but gives you a enchant armour/weapons scrolls. Eg. find meteoric steel mace +6 but you are a sword guy, poof you now have a regular old meteoric steel mace and 6 enchant weapon scrolls. For those who might say this is unbalanced, its no worse than a wand of cloning/mirroring.
I don't much like cloning-mirroring so I'd honestly say that's just as bad.
Wand of transfer enchantment: takes a pile of 5 items with different enchantments and combines the enchantment into one item (at the top of the pile). The regular enchantment buffer above 5 would apply (eg 5 +5 items would not give you a + 25 item, probably more like a +8 to +10)
I have a better idea that combines the two previous: A wand that essentially eats items, draining their enchantment and reducing them to lumps, and gives you, oh, a third of their enchantment (minimum 1 unless 0) as spheres that, when invoked, charge objects.
Scroll of Midas/ wand of midas turns item/monster to gold (good for training arm strength!) Champion of Mellis prize
I don't even see a point to this. Scroll of change material.
Ommel Bile, fluid that allows you to transfer 3 stats points, eg from wis to int or End to Int
Complicated and pointless. Training for 30 seconds often gets you 3 points.
Champion of loricatus prize: Loricatus reforges your
weapon into a flaming weapon eg Flaming Vermis
weapon into a flaming weapon eg Flaming Vermis
Overly complicated with the current means of making an object flame. Interesting idea, but a lot more suited to something he does if he really likes you.
Ommel Spit, fluid that drops your End by 3 linked to scabies.
Why?
Laxative potion: converts you from overfed to hungry in one turn, or bloated to starving. if you are satiated or less you get the message XXXX shit himself to death in XXX. linked to Scabies
That's just kind of gross o_o
Aphrodesiac: potion that causes creature capable or reproducing to make reproducing their top priority. Gift from nefas when you are her champion
Do monsters even have priorities at the moment?
Wand of fertilization: causes tame Genetrix versana to sprout and thus all her offspring ar you pets. unless you hit her. gift from silva when champion
Too... powerful.
Carnivorous plants (CP) should eat any animals that come close to them and grow bigger. eg CP eats magpie becomes greater CP, geater CP eats adult bunny/kobold becomes giant CP, giant CP eats cave bear becomes Gentetrix versana (but with better stats - she is not as tough ans a giant CP) if plants eat mutant animals (bunnies/asses) they polymorph.
Ooohh you're going to love my mod's levelling system.Berzerker potion: heals completely and adds +10 AS/LS/Dex/Agi for x amount of time but drops End by 2/3 when it wears off. Monsters can drink too so watch out for Berzerker Golgor Dhan. Spawns rarely but cruentus gives it too you if you become his champion.
I'd give this a shot with 1.3x stats but a chance of tearing limbs and muscles. When it wears off, you take all the damage you took while berserked again. Also, not good enough for a champion gift.
Legifer Champion gift should be turox
Not good enough!
Pockets in Cloaks holds up to 5 rings giving you up to +5 fire resist/ electricity resist or however you want to arrange it. Mirvo the tailor can sew them in exchange for a side quest item (eg Enchanted Needle which is also a dagger that give you a dex/agi bonus)
Massively overpowered I believe
Chain mail only, Irkos the smith should be able to forge 5 rings into the mail in exchange for side quest item, eg Adamantine Thunder hammer and become champ of cruentus and Loricatus (if you pray to loricatus he can convert meteoric steel to adamant) Alternatively he can forge them into metal weapon but not artifact weapons. Eg adamantine scimitar with +2 electricity resistance, acid resistance, invisibility and polycontrol.

in forum IVAN Variants
I've been gone for a while. Most of you know this due to your nightly parties of "Yay, that fuck's gone!"
Unfortunately, I'm back.
And I'm better than ever.
I plan on making a fork of IVAN. That's right! I didn't go "Continuing IVAN" because someone's happy to do that now and there's a more important thing in my mind to work on.
What is that? Why, simple! There's a game that could use a ton of content (IVAN) and a game that could use a PC port and some new features that has a ton of content (Shiren the Wanderer).
So, plan on seeing a Asiatic-themed fork soon. That's all the preview I have.

EDIT: He posted the latest source (spamming the IRC channel constantly) on some random site.
http://www.mediafire.com/?omfyijr2ddk Here's a mirror of it because I don't trust him not to remove it. Now until he comes out with another version this isn't completely screwing the license it's being distributed with.
EDIT: No, he didn't. Why did I fall for that? Because I'm an idiot.
If any original dev wants some free money he's very plainly breaking international copyright law.
