when i try to change(with artmonry) souls aka life force (its red,blue,gree,white(or its yellow ?) balls) after i summon any minion or upgrade/create armor - game crash.any ideas how can i add life force WITHOUT crash ?money and max minions change without problems.
this crash was even in the demo
i try to change life force then save-> load,i think this may help but that don't help

the life force is tied directly to the actual minions when they are instanced. by instanced i mean the creature's data (structure) is created in memory dynamically. so what does this mean? it means that the life force number increases at the time that the next minion is dynamically entered into the data. so if you just increase the life force number without the second step (which is creating the minion itself), then the life force number is more than the actual minions that are in memory and when part(s) of the game code roll through all the life force numbers, or during the time when the minion is supposed to jump out of the hole and appear, if the life force number is higher than the actual minions available then there will be a register that gets filled with a number that doesn't point to an actual minion struct or data or worse the game will try to read memory that isn't part of the game. at any rate you get the crash. sometimes just increasing the number of things isn't the only step you have to accomplish. this is likely more involved than what you want to deal with...

Very nice explanation. thanks for going is such great detail.

omfg !will this be available in trainer ?

So, you can release a trainer with options that were in the demo trainer? At least that would be nice! ^^
Thanks in advance, Mrs. Caliber. ^^

Cal is currently working on a trainer which should have all of the options from the DEMO trainer and maybe more. We'll release it to our UNLIMITED members as soon as it's finished!

chris you have a atm on it ? im at a part where my comp frezzes for 2 min and because of it i die, tried 5 times now and at the exact same moment my comp frezzes up. So i need something that will make me survive for those 2 minutes.

pwiz cannot tell you when the trainer will be complete. i cannot complete the trainer until i have a copy of the game which should be soon. i have several features already worked out in the demo that should port over to the retail. the game has just come out so give us some time to create this trainer. we put this game at the top of the list for now and we are working on it-

thanks,
Cal
