Traditional roguelike in the style of ADOM and Omega · By Julian Day

Game quits after character death

Hi Julian, I'm enjoying exploring Shadow of the Wyrm. Many thanks for making it!

Quick question... whenever my character dies and I'm asked if I want to save it for posterity (it's something like that, I can't remember the exact phrase sorry) the game then quits to the desktop. Is this intentional? I checked the logs and they all have similar messages as below:

2023-May-25 16:24:18    ScriptEngine::log_error - Error in execution: cannot open scripts/areas/events/carcassia_a2a.lua: No such file or directory
2023-May-25 16:24:18    MapScript::execute - did not run Lua function due to script failure: areas/events/carcassia_a2a.lua

Does that shed any light on the possible issue?

Best wishes!

Hi - yes. Saving also exits the game, and is in line with what a lot of traditional roguelikes (like nethack, adom, etc) do.

Hi Julian, thanks for your reply. Ah ok, that makes sense then. Phew!
btw I checked my installation and the scripts/areas/events/carcassia_a2a.lua file is indeed not present. Is this important?
