This is nice =]
"Cast by Dragon Lord" would be more correct in modern English...though this is a medieval/fantasy game, so do whatever you like
Props to you for creating/releasing it in lua and props to @pudim for the idea =]

 

[roriscrave]

nice job guy

I'll have a look at that later today thanks for testing it out.

Ok so the initial script will not work like we want it to because it does not store this information. It doesn't mean we can't store this information about the creature; we can but only if we interact with the magic field on screen 1st. To get around this we look at the sources specifically combat.cpp
This section of code in Combat::combatTileEffects

        Item* item = Item::CreateItem(itemId);
        if (caster) {
            item->setOwner(caster->getID());
        }

And just change it to this

        Item* item = Item::CreateItem(itemId);
        if (caster) {
            item->setOwner(caster->getID());
            item->setSpecialDescription("Casted by " + caster->getName());
        }

The reason we do it this way is because when the magic field is created we can then set a special description to that item and even if the monster/player dies the name will remain on the field even if we never looked at it when they were alive.

08:18 You see a fire field.

@pudim Still did it in 1 line

 

[pudim]

@Steve Albert Take a look at the first prints and you'll understand why it's not 1 line =)

#edit
ops, this is a different post hehe

Take a closer look at the first two pics

@kor can do that script for TFS 0.4 reb 377 or 5284

 

[kor]

Why me?

 

[MartK]

Because you are good and great c++ programmer @kor

 

[Ahilphino]

nice reelase! very good work codex

 

[kor]

@MartK So? I don't see connection between being good programmer and creating script when someone asked to do.

 

[MartK]

it could simply be a kind and good act for the community @kor

 

[kor]

Community of you and @MartK ?

 

[StreamSide]

it could simply be a kind and good act for the community @kor

lmao, you are delusional, you can not expect to someone do the work for you. Also I can bet that my boy @kor is a busy person.
