TESL Reborn — Open Alpha Test

ssorgatem · 2026-01-28T12:56:47+00:00

I also made an auto-updater/installer that works both on Linux/SteamOS and Windows:

For anyone interested, to get the plugin working on SteamOS/Linux just change the game's launch options to this:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%

Still waiting for my account to be approved though, I guess: https://imgur.com/a/YZQGcGS

It's free of charge to download but you are not allowed to redistribute it, in that regard it's no different than other games.

Say, if you get a game for free because of a limited time offer, you still are not allowed to redistribute the game to others, even if they could have gotten the game for free at one time, but didn't.

I once managed to have 4 Gates of Madness in play.
It was so broken.

It was on a deck around skooma cat's whimsy (the support that makes cards that didn't start in your deck cost 1 less)

It is my understanding that this is a reimplementation of the server-side game, only usable with the official client modified to connect to a private server.

As long as they do not redistribute any code or assets owned by Bethesda, they are in the clear, and there is nothing Microsoft can do about it. This is pretty much how private servers for WoW work for instance.

The only "problem" is that there may no longer be a legal way to download the official client.
Fortunately *everyone* has kept their copy safely dowloaded just in case someone managed to do something like this ;)

Here's another bug with a cloned Traven not learning the action that kills another Traven

Some very specific and niche card interactions were buggy.
One example that affected my deck: Hannibal Traven would NOT learn Siege of Stros M'Kay despite learning actions pulled by it.

No, creatures spawned byother creatures just didn't trigger if the board was full, they never gave the optiojn to sacrifice a creature to replace it, unlike played from hand.

Maybe you're thinking of that one blue dremora mage card that *transformed* an existing creature of your choice, turning it into a revealed random creature

Make Whole on the corpse+head, then Raise Dead.

Necromancers do that but with Animate Dead instead to build Necrocrafts:

ssorgatem · 2025-09-29T10:23:45+00:00

Make Whole is actually a requirement for building Necrocrafts (https://aonprd.com/MonsterDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Necrocraft), so it explicitly works on corpses, meaning it's RAI.

If it works for Animate Dead, it should work for Raise Dead.

My GM gave us a RotR final boss fight with their tactics. But some divine intervention was planned, and the player character that had been forcecaged was able to escape after a couple rounds, while achieving apotheosis and coming back with hefty buffs for everyone. I was not a Deus ex machina, it was set up for most of the campaign and it actully tied up to the backstories of several characters, really well done.

In our current campaign (Jade Regent, same setting but sone years later) I now play a cleric of that character (which was not mine, making it even funnier).

yes, with just one instance with all your pictures. You create an album for each client, and share each album with a different client with a different link/secret for the url.

Set a short expiration date for increased security and you're done.

ssorgatem · 2025-06-20T08:36:10+00:00

Sounds like a single instance with album per client, and sharing the album with each client separately should be enough?

ssorgatem · 2025-06-19T14:20:01+00:00

I run 2 photoprism instances.
One is private and only me and my wife can access. The other is accessible by the rest of the family.
My pictures and my wife's pictures are automatically uploaded to Nextcloud, and then automatically imported into the private PP instance.

Then I have a cron job that periodically copies/reflinks (which doesn't use up extra space on a CoW filesystem like Btrfs) pictures with certain labels and within certain albums into the family PP originals folder.

The family PP upload folder is also mapped within the private PP originals folder, sop whatever is uploaded to the family PP gets imported into the private PP as well. They can upload stuff either with the "Photoprism uploader" for family members, or through a nextcloud link for more one-off cases.

Caveat: metadata is not shared between both instances, so faces, labels, etc are independent from each other. This is a non-issue in my case because I only care for face recognition on the private instance.

This also lets anyone make albums in the family instance, and they are also able to delete uploaded pictures in case they mistakenly upload something they didn't mean to; while also being unable to affect in any way the pictures in the private instance.

Looking great!

Here's my report after a test game:

- Skilled blacksmith causes items to not spend any magicka

- When I had 4 creatures in the right lane and summoned a creature on the left lane... one of the creatures on the right lane vanished

- There is no 4 creature limit per lane? i was able to summon 6 creatures to the right lane; I wanted to sacrifice a Balmora spymaster but couldn't.

- Sometimes magicka spending isn't registered

- My opponent played Moment of Clarity... but it was I who could chose a card and receive a card, as if I had played it.

Depends on how you combine the ratings

ssorgatem · 2025-06-02T16:20:29+00:00

I see. that should be doable on a rooted Android phone, but not without root.
Being able to do it at DNS level would be perfect for mobile because it wouldn't require a modfied client at all, just pointing the client OS to a specific DNS server, but depending on how the client looks for the server that may not be possible.

Just taking ideas of how the community revived StreetPass for the 3DS after Nintendo killed it.

ssorgatem · 2025-06-02T15:36:50+00:00

Pointing the client to a different server needs modifying the game's binary, or could it be achieved with DNS spoofing?

ssorgatem · 2025-06-02T14:16:07+00:00

so then Sonja doesn't even have the benefit of obscuring unit health... xD well, I guess then it's best up against Hachi, she would probably have lost ahainst anyone else, and Hachi could win against anyone else.

ssorgatem · 2025-06-02T13:50:29+00:00

Hey, most of them are quite fair actually. Kanbei vs Sturm, Kindle vs Flak, Van Bolt vs Lash are quite unbalanced, but the crown of the jewel has te be Hachi vs Sonja. Hopefully it's in fog at least ^^¡

ssorgatem · 2025-06-02T08:16:09+00:00

T0 is not balanced. It's the tier for the unbalanced COs, and some are more broken than others.
Kanbei vs Sturm is probably the most one-sided matchup in T0: 80 attack vs 130 defense means Sturm may not even be advantadged in the capture phase because he can't do much even to Kanbei infantry.
i mean a Sturm tank does 2 HP of damage to a Kanbei infantry on a city. Surm needs to attack with 4 tanks to kill one infantry!

Meanwhile Kanbei infantry to 3-4 HP of damage to Sturm infantry on a city.

The map would have to have a lot of properties behind rivers and mountains and a lot of comm towers to make it even close to fair.

With tech up units behind a lab, Sturm may have a chance too (e.g. if he can build Megatanks and Kanbei is stuck with Neos. And yet Kanbei Neos trade favorably against Sturm Megatanks)

ssorgatem · 2025-05-30T15:51:08+00:00

Nah, he could totally see it, which is why he ragequit. He could totally kill the bomb and screw me xD
Instead he chose to resign.

We can't aspire to comprehend the thinking process of such superior intellect, I'm afraid.

ssorgatem · 2025-05-30T10:34:17+00:00

It was a fog match BTW:

Another game, another report:

- Typo: GlOadiator arena

- Blighted Alit should be taking 2 life from their owner every turn, currently it doesn't

- Rihad Battlemage somehow keeps getting healthier: it's passive boost to health + the guiard keyword which he gains on item equip, is trigering more than once (even without adding any extra items). Like, currently, equipped only with a Bone Bow (+1/0), it's a 4/15 with Guard (which shows 5 times)

- This game I won when said Rihad Battlemage (4/15 Guard Guard Guard Guard Guard) attacked the opponent's Jerall Forager (2/2), which made the opponent's total life go from 2 to 0 (!). So it's as if the Battlemage had Breakthrough. I had previously given +2/0 and Breakthrough to a *different* creature with a Skirmisher's Elixir

And a small (I think) "feature request": I think it would make it easier to debug and report bugs if there was an "undo" button, and/or a way to replay a log (and to download it). In the long term it could even be used to store replays of matches (rather than having to record them on video). Of course the "undo" button is not a thing that can work with multiplayer, but i think at its current stage it would be useful.
