barbarian only gains 50% of maximum strength when he rages instead of filling up)

better system for displaying "rest" indicator for barbarian

cleric now starts with rusty mace(it does 5 more damage than what he had before)

fixed bloodlust bug where you die, and stay in bloodlust state(this was a bug in normal rune dm also)

thief has better odds of hiding and staying hidden

mage gains runepower twice as fast now, and gains more health when he levels up

cleric gains runepower 20% faster, and cleric spells take less runepower to cast

vasmonsters mutator works now(got lots of email about this one)!

a random weapons mutator, to spawn with random weapons each time.

a gain-runepower-by-bashing-heads mutator (pretty self explanatory)

a team cam view mutator, that adds a small teammate view to the rune
hud, in the upper left corner.

and two last man standing like gametypes, one team based and another one
free for all.

The first part is mainly about setting everything up to begin although I did include a tiny piece of code. I'm going to post about one a week for the next three or four weeks, all of them linked but each dealing with a seperate part of the mod.

Here are some of the features that we will be implementing:

• New levels! Battlefields, villages, anything that revolves around the Warhammer world.
  
• New races/models/classes! A variety of Warhammer characters to choose from, all with proportional strengths and weaknesses.
  
• New weapons! Bows, javelins, spears. etc.
  
• Squad arena combat! 'Clan' competitions and team arena battles.

According to IGNPS2, Rockstar Games is considering a PlayStation2 port of the Viking-based action game, Rune. The company is believed to be making an announcement concerning the next PS2 port over the coming days, and IGNPS2 is betting that game will be Rune. Of course Rockstar is remaining tight-lipped about the whole thing, but as soon as we know more, we'll let you know.

1. Make a new folder somewhere (suppose it is called OldGames), and copy everything from Rune\Save into it
2. Re-install Rune
3. Run Rune. Start a new game. Go to the Save Game screen. Save the current game in each save game slot.
4. Quit Rune.
5. Copy everything from OldGames (or whatever you called it) to Rune\Save
6. Run Rune. Go to the Load Game screen. The games will all have the wrong names. To fix this, load each game and immediately save it back. For example, load the 3rd game, and save it back as the 3rd game, and this will fix the name.

'Team arena', where squads will compete together against another squad

classes: orcs + goblins, dwarves, humans, elves, undead, etc. squads will mostly consist of the same race

maps

new weapons (bow, javelin, etc.)

level design (maybe, 1)

coders (2)

model makers (2)

Actor Shadows. Setting this to None disables shadows for other models. Blob enables simple circular shadows. Projected will enable volumetric shadows. Enabling shadows will reduce performance, particularly when set to Projected. This will also cause a higher performance drop than enabling shadows for the player.

Min Desired Framerate. Set this to equal to whatever you feel is the minimum for a playable game. 30 should be the ideal minimum frame rate for most users. This specifies the frame rate threshold below which Rune will start dropping detail - reducing model detail and not drawing optional effects. If this is set higher than your normal frame rate, then you will never see reduced graphics almost always, but get the best possible performance. The ideal setting for this is about 10 frames below your average frame rate, otherwise you'll drop off too much detail. When benchmarking it would be best to set this to 0 to give a more accurate indication of real performance (see later on in the guide for how to benchmark Rune).
