[rec.games.misc] Omega problem

steven@uunet.uu.net (Steven Burden) (09/30/88)

	Hi, I'm writing to you about a problem with Omega.
	I have compiled(using the Sun Makefile) the latest version of
Omega(prerelease 0.7x) and included the two patch archives(20 & 21).The
game is under Ultrix 2.2 on a micro vax.
	The only problem is when I descend a level down stairs in a
dungeon(Goblin caves & the sewers), the message "you descend a level" is
displayed and then the screen locks up and the screen continues to display
the level from which I am descending.All the function keys are disabaled
apart from the break(^C) and stop(^Z) interrupts, and the only when I can
unlock the terminal is by quitting the game via break.I have tried clearing
communications via the terminal "setup" facility but with no success.
	I wonder if you could give me any advice, as I am very reluctant
to start examining the source code.
	Thankyou....

I have a couple of questions about OMEGA and I put them to you,
the net.

1.Is there a way to change who you worship, once you have
started to worship one diety?If so , how?

2.In the alchemy shop one of the options is to pay
for transformation. What does this entail?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well...sort of, but it's really not a good idea...
    You can change your deity simply by worshipping another deity (IF you are
not worshipping the Lords of Destiny, that is...), but your current deity gets
mighty pissed off at you...This "resets" you to no deity, as it were, and the
next deity you worship will consider you just as he/she always would.

    Usually if you do this, you lose your money and the item. For certain
items, however (the ones that the Alchemist is interested in buying, if you
try to do that first), paying for transformation turns them into useful stuff.
For example...but that would be telling. I made a list, once...if anyone wants
it, email me.
