Equipment & Skills requirement

Post by eazrael »

Some equipment cannot be used because the required skill is too low. "Sorry, but you can't equip this item because this hero doesn't have enough of the required skill. Check the item skills requirement". Ok, normal RPG mechanism.

But the big question is: Where can i check the items skills requirement?

I am playing the android version and hammering on the items does not show anything.

When you click to equip, says you can't equip but also shows the skill and the required amount.
Are you playing the Humble Bundle version? Maybe I forgot to do that change on that version!

Yes, it's the Humble Bundle Version. And no, this information is not shown in the Message Box.

OK, then looks like I need to submit a new build to the Humble guys :) thanks for letting me know! Will do it in next days.

I know this is an old topic but I just bought this game and was wondering the same thing for the android version.
All I see when failing to equip something is this message : "Sorry, but you can't equip this item because this hero doesn't have enough of the required skill. Check the item skills requirements." And I don't see any requirements either on the item description, only the damage type, accuracy, rate, and I have no idea what this skull icon is (critical I would guess?).

It should show a list of values (skills) required to use the item if you tap over them, though to be honest 2-3 years have passed since I did the Android version, and I remember I used a different layout for mobile because otherwise the texts were too small. If you can post a screenshot of the inventory maybe I can tell you better :oops: sorry!

Ah yes now I remember. Ugh that game coding was a mess. It was pre-Anima times, when the RPG engine I coded was just a big mess of arrays (I wasn't even using Class... anyone who knows a bit of coding will understand what madness it is! :lol:)

Yes, I hope that I missed something, because there is not much chances of a fix for an old game.
It really makes things difficult if you don't know how many points you need to be able to equip a weapon... or even which skill it needs !

I did some screenshots but I am having problems with imageshack, their mobile version is awful and there is no link to switch to the desktop version. I hate it when sites are like this, especially since the mobile version usually has only a few basic options available... But I'll post again as soon as I manage to copy the direct links of the screenshots, or when I give up and end uping copy the links manually.
