Mega: App + Media (update) + Extra + Fanmade
Changelog
So yeah, based on the "fire giant" Brimstone, here's Cinderella! Highest BP of all Grimoires (even Zara's), strong standard attacks (for no real reason?), nasty high-damaging freezing beams and tricky maneuvers await you, so beware of her! Be sure to check the tutorial to learn her ins & outs!
If you're interested in the Grimoire's stats, here's how they currently stand:
Do her very few cons make Cindy rather overpowered amongst them all? Probably! :3
Oh by the way, I guess the "online server" thingie turned out to be a bust, it might work fine for a few people, but apparently Gmail won't let lots of people access at the same time, too bad.
While we're on that though, a buddy here proposed the other day making a Discord thingie for QBB, what do you all think, would that be interesting? Wanted to bring that up since I don't have lots of experience with those things, so if you guys figure it'd be something nice for us to have, be sure to let me know! :D
Sweet! and discord would be nice to have :D
ReplyDeleteWell she is a boss and all but I'm sure they'll come up with someone more powerful than her as THE end all be all boss of Grimoire
ReplyDeleteI'm all for the Discord thingie, I think you'll get a good amount of people in it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, nice Avatar Hadon. - 3-)7
Discord has API for multiple languages. If you plan on using discord to run QB online.
ReplyDeleteAll need to do is make a discord server and probably, have players make a dedicated discord account to connect to the server and send messages around via the current Client.
I've been maintaining my own discord bot using the js API. I dont know how well the rest works. But I could try looking into it. Ring me on discord If you're interested. discord tag dranzerstar#0714
Well, at the very least, for now people could just play VS matches between each other as if it was some chatting app...
DeleteBut you know, I've been looking into this discord thing, and like you say, there might be some way to use it to play QBB online... however, having everyone with dedicated accounts sounds a bit of a hassle, I'll have to look into the "simplest" way to integrate this discord thing (using C#)...
Thanks for the suggestion though! :3
people can use their normal discord account if people dont mind a having a channel on the side with their self bot sending messages into it.
DeleteHm, yeah, we'll see how it turns out, if there's a demand I'll try to figure something out.
DeleteI'm still a bit miffed about all the work I did for the "online servers" having been kinda for naught, le sigh...

ReplyDeleteJust went through the arcade with Cindy. God she's super strong!! I took out Seiten with two charge attacks!! Hey does her ice mirror relect attacks like Rugal Bernstein of KOF's Dark Barrier? It seems to do monster damage on attackers. I wonder what's next for QB now.
ReplyDeleteCalled it♪
DeleteBut no, by design, no QB attack should ever reflect the damage back to the attacker, that'd be crazy OP.
her down swing can k.o airi in single hit
ReplyDeleteToo bad there is no fan book of KOF's Kula Diamond. It would be cool to see her and Cindy go at it.
ReplyDeleteTy for update!
ReplyDeleteWould it be possible to implement hotkeys for "select attack" and "attack"? Clicking with mouse is slow
You should be able to use the tabulator to navigate the buttons, then Intro to press them. Would that be enough? Guess I can do the typical "Alt + key" if it isn't...
DeleteThis doesn't work for me. Everything is properly installed in the right folders, but it always tells me "there are no characters available".
ReplyDeleteImage of my problem with my files/folders:
Deletehttps://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2tl02i_bBzbUkFhcUw0cjZRaTg
Okay, so it only seems to be a problem on a network drive. When I move it to a USB drive, it works fine. :)
DeleteGlad to hear that, sorry for not replying earlier :D
DeleteThe folder structure seemed to be right indeed, the first thing I thought was problems with the folder location itself.
It's still kind of weird for that to happen, hadn't really tried executing it in a network drive myself ^^U
Just found out about QBB. This is awesome. In using it I found some errors you want to fix:
ReplyDelete1) centaur has two moves 60. You will want to fix the centaur-s.txt file so that the Spin and Kick move uses 58 instead of 60.
2 and 3) The damage modifier for dodging (+2 to down and side swings) was not applying correctly for the Skeleton and Sir Percival. You will want to fix the skeleton-r.txt and sir percival-r.txt files by adding the word "move" immediately following Bonusonly (both of them) on restriction[16].
4) cimeree-ai.txt looks wrong. She has 32 moves but the ai txt file has only 27 rows. Maybe this is expected, but just looks like an error.
5) surprised how often the CPU does Retrieve Weapon when no weapon was lost. I looked at the AI txt files are they are set to 0,0 for the weapon state, so I don't know whey it behaves like this.
-keep up the good work
-Alan
Thanks for your support, and for your error reports!
DeleteYou're totally right on 1, 2 and 3.
Regarding 4, it seems it's just an issue while I was numbering the rows, there are actually 32 rows in there, should work fine.
As for 5, could you tell me which characters did you see that Retrieved Weapon while armed? It should work fine for most of them, it's probably a few who are failing.
Thanks again~
Hello Leecherboy,
DeleteWow, what a fast reply. BTW, I have been playing this game for decades, but just found out about your app 2 days ago. I got lots of the older books, so that is what I focus on.
I have been playing a lot of the original nova books in your app. I kept seeing retrieve weapon being done. Sorry, I have no specifics, other than these. After seeing it "too much" it was with Cimeree that I started to research your ai files. She had not thrown her dagger and was doing a retrieve. But it was later after seeing it again for someone that was with only two weapon states (I was with at least one of these: Goblin, Skeleton or Amulf).
I will note it down next time.
Found more bugs. Sorry, but I think you would want to know (btw, if I could email you the fixed files, that would be better than describing the error):
1) dalchion xii-s.txt file: Extended range Thrust and Great Magic have their move #s switched. That is, switch 54 and 60.
2) Poor Timothy, lots of fixes to timothy-m.txt:
2.1) nearly every extended range row had an error or several. I just went by comparing it to my book after I saw odd results during play. In particular the third value was most frequently wrong, but I think it was more than just that. I can send you my fixed file or check timothy's book.
2.2) the errata on Flying Buffalo's web page lists two errors. Page 16 move 36 should have results 63 (not 41). Page 46 move 46 should have results 43 (not 3).
You can find both of these errata (and a lot more) at this web page:
http://www.flyingbuffalo.com/lwfaq.htm
2.3) Timothy does not consume daggers when he scores a hit. That is, a dagger that hits should then have a status of "on the ground", and not be back in his belt. I was able to kill the man in plate (Burton) by throwing 4 daggers from long range with one of them going into his shield (that one got "in shield" status) but the other two that hit him should have been unavailable to me. Instead I just did another "54- Draw and Throw" and killed him. Not sure how to fix this. Not sure how your code is supposed to handles thrown weapons that score a hit.
-kindest regards
-Alan
Neat, always nice to hear from a veteran!
DeleteThanks for errors as well! You can find my address in the app (Help -> About...), feel free to send me all the errors you find there :3
I'll look into the Retrieving Weapon issue.
Thanks!
Oh, I know why you might be seeing Retrieving Weapons when uncalled for: are you playing in Balanced difficulty?
DeleteIf you aren't, it's not using the AI files, so there's no real rhyme or reason to their moves, basically.
Hi, I just discovered this awesome app, but I can't download the "Extra Chars 42.4" file, it's unavailable. Can you reupload it, please?
ReplyDeleteOh, my bad, it's fixed now.
DeleteI don't really know how that happened tho...
Hi! Nice piece of software, I was intrigued by the system, and I noticed you poured a lot of love in this software!
ReplyDeleteIt's me, or multiplayer (2 vs 1 and 1 vs 2) doesn't work as intended? In FormBatalla.cs, in function CargaFormulario() it tries to initialize like a 2 vs 2 battle (putting the 57 page on paginaPlayer instance. It should be a quick fix using the original source code.
And... we will see the cards? I found a site with description of all the cards (useful for implementing them), but cannot find the card images to print or to give to you to show them.
Keep going this good work :D
Oh, right, the multiplayer was always kind of a test, if nothing else, I don't think I ever got it to play it right... and unfortunately, I'm too busy with stuff to try and fix it for the moment, sorry.
DeleteAnd well, if you mean the fantasy cards, there are descriptions of them indeed, but I'm not sure if pics were ever released... and they don't seem too popular among LW/QB players anyways :p
Thanks for your support tho!
Hello my name is dave, I would like to learn to play qb but I have no idea how I have been watching your website but I am a bad thing for that kind of things the game interests me a lot although I do not understand it I like menace, jubey and shiranui may If you could help me how to download and install I would be very grateful have a good day
ReplyDeleteHi, you have to download the App and the Media files, and uninstall both in the same folder.
DeleteIf there are no problems, you should start in the select screen, and I recommend you check out the tutorial mode for a decent explanation on how moves are supposed to work :3
Hello again, I've gotten back into this and am trying to implement one of the fan-made characters from the yahoo group. But I'm wondering if there is a way to "and" restrictions together?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to implement the Boneless Husk, and have had no luck writing a restriction rule for this special rule:
Special Rule: Anyone who contacts the desiccated body of a Boneless Husk with their living flesh is immediately drained of 1 Body Point. Plate armour provides protection; chainmail and normal clothing does not. If a Boneless Husk absorbs 6 Body Points, it will collapse at the end of the following turn.
I tried
Not Trait "Undead" Not Trait "Platemail" unmodified score 0 drainlife 3,Not Trait "Undead" Not Trait "Platemail" unmodified score 0 Change special 3
But that throws an error. If I do this
Not Trait "Undead" unmodified score 0 drainlife 3,Not Trait "Platemail" unmodified score 0 drainlife 3,Not Trait "Undead" unmodified score 0 Change special 3,Not Trait "Platemail" unmodified score 0 Change special 3
then it drains 6 BP, three for each condition.
I implemented the other special rule as
Aftercheck Result Body + special > 11 Kill self
and that seems to work
Hi again buddy, it's been a while, good to see people still interested in the system.
DeleteThe restrictions by default work as "and"... the problem here was the quotes from the traits, since I had never seen a character that checked for 2 different traits in a row.
Try this new version with the restriction that was giving you an error, and let me know if it works: https://www.sendspace.com/file/6xxucd
(Also, for the 2nd rule, I'd suggest "Result 0 + special = 6", since that should be enough for you, plus there's the chance of him leveling up and gaining more bp I figure?)
Thanks! I'll try that. I'm getting my son, a freshman art/computer science major, to do the drawings, when he has time.
ReplyDeleteYes, both those changes work, thank you for the fast response.
ReplyDeleteIn my copies of the character sheets I gave Burton and Iron Man the new Platemail trait. Can you think of any of the other characters that would have Platemail?
If there is a way to post a pic here in the comments I would post a couple of his preliminary pencil sketches.
Hm, let me see... not many full-armored guys around, but probably Captain Leonatos, Ephrael Stern, Eldar Exarch, Kharn, and the mechas if you want to count them. And if you're into fanmade characters, Samus Aran.
DeleteI don't think there's a way to post pics here, I imagine you can always upload them to imgur or similar and post the link though.
