Topic: Unleash the jaws of doom, ---- in the tomb!

The master of the dungeons dim, has words most interesting to say, so harken all yee unto him, and bendeth all thine ears this way:

Hello,
Here is what's new in this update. I think I'll finally get around to updating the main archive with this if there aren't any major problems.
New:
- Scavengers clear the floor when you leave via the stairway. Don't leave anything on the ground you want to keep. But don't carry around truck loads of items if you want your saving and loading to remain quick. If you portal to town, items will remain on the floor. Only when you leave up and down do the scavengers come out (they fear the portal's light or something...)
- Screen reader support for Jaws, Windows Eyes, and System Access. You can choose these from the preferences menu. When using Jaws, you'll need to use an alternate keyset to navigate. U for up, J for down, H for left, and K for right. To for escape, press left bracket (also called open bracket). If you're on a menu, you can press tab to navigate through the options. Important: If your game doesn't load properly and you hear no sound. Press ALT-S to set the voice temporarily to SAPI. Then navigate to the preferences and set it up properly. You can also delete your preferences file called EntombedPreferences.dat. It's located in MyDocuments\SavedGames\EntombedSaves\AllPlayers. This is preliminary support. You may experience problems. Please let me know.
- Don't continue a previously saved game. Complete your games in progress before updating or start a new game after updating.
Bugs fixed:
- Critical hit no longer hits every time. (Oops)
- Monsters should show up in their proper dungeon branches again.
- All races should allow for all secondary jobs now.
- Wanderers wont magically duplicate items anymore.

Hmmm, but for some reason I can't switch between characters when using JFW as the speech engine.  For example, when I bring up, say, my hero's character details, what key serves as the tab key to go to the pet's details.  I tried several keys, including tab, with no success.  Tankies fer any heeeeeeeeelp!

Re: Unleash the jaws of doom, ---- in the tomb!

yep, this has come up on the list. the next version is going to have an alternate for the tab key, but for now, people are using insert pluss three to have the next keystroke register with the application and then tab.

Hth.
