Healing Fountains make Healing Potions

[Knight Captain]

In SI, if you use a healing fountain on any bottle shape, it turns it into a yellow healing potion.

[Knight Captain]

Fountain qualities 2-7 make the following potions:

2 Yellow
3 Red
4 Green
5 Orange
6 Purple
7 White

[Knight Captain]

And if the potion is not used within 500 ticks, it disappears. Very clever.

[agentorangeguy]

WOW.... did not know that! was it that way in the original too or just Exult?

when you say bottle shape, do you mean potion shapes or actual bottle like ale/wine etc?

[agentorangeguy]

Just tried it out with the "bottle" shape... very cool!

[Knight Captain]

Exult uses the original Usecode so it should be the same. I didn't know it either!

[Knight Captain]

Also, after the Banes are released, any non-healing fountain will turn blood-red when used.

[agentorangeguy]

yeah i remembered the red fountain thing, but had no clue about the bottle thing. great find!

[TDI]

Are you serious? I can't believe how cool this is! Never tried it. XD

[Alexander]

Yep, just tried it a few days ago with the healing fountain in Moonshade. That was pretty awesome. Almost 25 years of owning this game and I'm still discovering new things about it.

I wonder if the red fountains can also be tweaked to turn bottles into poison potions, since that's essentially what happens if you drink from them.

[Knight Captain]

The post-Batlin fountains, if not healing, will turn red and allow you to make poison potions.

[Alexander]

Neat, I'll have to try that when I get to the post-Batlin part of the game.

[Knight Captain]

Another new finding today. If you have slimes nearby when you use phosphor to turn on serpent lamp posts, they die.

[Knight Captain]

I've also fixed the reagent code for FRAME_PHOSPHOR so when used on the unlit serpent lamp posts the same light effect and placement used in the Dark Path is also created.

[Dominus]

WHAT? Slimes, phosphor? I'm stumped;)

[Gotcha!]

As am I. For over a decade I thought I knew everything about these games, but people just keep on going giving new interesting information.

[Knight Captain]

I'm stumped how shapes that have bodies connected don't use them. Sea serpents, slime, bats, etc. Exult must have special case code for them?

[Knight Captain]

The slimes now leave green blood behind when killed this way.

Bumping this "research" thread again with a scroll:

else if (quality == 63)
{
say(" I know I did evil things whilst I was under the control of the Bane. In order to atone for the harm I have caused, I shall sacrifice myself to the Crematorium. If mine ashes can help restore the balance, then I might be partially redeemed for mine evil acts.~~");
say(" Farewell,~");
say(" Dupre");

I'm glad they didn't hide this scene as planned!
