Important Official Updates

Here's Wizard Wars v8 which does a few things:

• Attempted crash fix involving spell rotations (as seen in the healing spell)
• Increased cast time for fire bomb
• Significantly lowered greg and wraith flight speed
• Changed the way gregs attack (just don't get near a pair of them because your chance of dying a slow painful death is 99.99%)
• Added useless gravestones, will later be used as the target of the planned revive spell. Gravestones teleport to spawn if they fall into a pit, but DO NOT spawn if the player dies in a pit. So basically falling in a pit means permadeath
• Tweaked the lifetime of heal missiles so they are more reliable
• some other small stuff i can't remember

 

Just got the revive spell working, which brings us to another potential spell: turning player's dead bodies into zombies lol. If your teammate raises undead on your body you could fly around as a greg!

 

Wizard Wars v15:

• Added magic missiles
• Now you can use spells when a greg holds you
• New healing spell, reviving spell effects
• Some small things that aren't really important

You know it as well as I do, the black hole is a virtual euphemism for one of the worst memes in history. Fear not, the mana drain is going way down in favor of slightly higher counter-spell cost.

New version. This needs testing because in my experience it has been crashing randomly on next map. Tell me if same happens to you @wormy

Some of the changes:

• New spell: magic barrier!
• fixed desynced "laggy" missiles of magic movement
• fixed incorrect file name for revive spell trail (caused a LOT of bad performance issues)
• slightly buffed fire bomb
• significantly increased mana regeneration to make combat faster and give outnumbered teams a better chance
• decreased black hole mana drain and increased mana cost of black hole
• fixed some issues with freezing not being reliable. You can no longer randomly escape the ice block
• haste and slow last longer
• other minor fixes and adjustments
