Bug fix 1.14.2 is out. Also addresses some pretty important bugs (particularly for Hall-of-Fame attempts).

This will be in advance for book 15, Dave, just because you are using old xml files several gameplay issues from book 15 in advance (text taken from current errata and PA mails) section 56: some inconsistencies between "coin showing heads", and sections 117 and 298With your advanced skills it is easy for you to sense immediately that the coin is showing heads, but Prarg is not so gifted. -> With your advanced skills it is easy for you to sense immediately what the coin is showing, but Prarg is not so gifted. section 117: Add sentence "'Heads!' says Prarg." before the first paragraph (as in section 298). section 290: using of Kai-alchemy should be optional (because 'any attempt to pick this lock could prove fatal').If you possess Kai-alchemy, turn to 207. -> If you possess Kai-alchemy, and wish to use it, turn to 207. If you do not possess this Discipline, turn to 101. -> If you do not possess this Discipline, or do not wish to use it, turn to 101. section 156: erasing meals and potions issueAlso, erase any Meals you may have been carrying in your Backpack, and erase any potions of Laumspur and/or Alether. PA members agreed that you should erase any meals, and also any Laumspur, Alether and/or other healing potions (Larnuma, Oxydine, Oede, Silver Flask etc.) However, in subsequent section 292 (path 156->239->292) you are asked to possess Oede or Sabito. So, maybe you should erase only all types of Laumspur and Alether potions/meals/jars exclusively. section 315: meeting Prarg at the Battle of CetzaYou are not guaranteed to meet Prarg during the battle of Cetza. You must visit book 10 section 148 (choice in section 25). flavor issue: Section 315 is almost completely wrong in its description of what actually happened at Cetza: "During the fighting at Cetza you and he led Prince Graygor's reserves in a decisive action that helped save the Eruan Guards and turn the tide of the battle in your favour." No. You (Lone Wolf) may lead the Prince's reserves to help save the Eruan Palace Guard, but then you don't fight together with Prarg. What you do together with Prarg is to gather scattered soldiers to help save the Lencian knights in their struggle at the bridge.

What you do together with Prarg is to gather scattered soldiers to help save the Lencian knights in their struggle at the bridge. Very true, the erase Oede + stuff thing is the most retarded errata I have ever seen in my life. It's definitely not the only bad errata from Project Aon though. Some other ones include the old herb-mistress shop before it was fixed according to the Mongoose version (even the old text pretty much spelled out that you should be able to buy unlimited stuff, but they didn't like that), the Castle Death "Schrödinger's Quiver" which they didn't like, and the Castle Death footnote about how you can use the towel from Barrakeesh against the Whipmaster instead of a blanket. Yeah, Lone Wolf must have really liked that towel, keeping it in his backpack for 4 years, or in some cases he liked it so much he kept it in safekeeping at the monastery, then years later specifically took that towel with him on a long journey to Dessi, and then finally took it with him in Castle Death because you never know, you might need a... towel. And what do you get? One Combat Strength. It's 1 CS. And someone thought it needed a footnote. It's one Combat Strength! I have no words. Oh, and this nonsense: 163. It literally says "or". It literally says or... What? What? You either use the Sabito to breath underwater, or the Kai-alchemy spell "Breath Water" to breath underwater. What could possibly go wrong with an interpretation of that section? Seemingly a lot. Dear God... Okay I need to calm down, but some of those are so glaringly bad they have to be outright mistakes. Now that I say that, I should probably contact someone about this.

I've posted bugfix 1.14.3 - this one should be the last before book 15 comes out... fingers crossed.
Biggest fix: Hall of Fame validation working accurately again (the "restore to section 1" option was trickier than I originally thought!)

V 1.14.4 bugfix release is out. This addressed some long-standing issues with effective RNT generation and tracking, for greater reliability in verifying HOF runs. Also fixed a couple of things like how Limbdeath is dealt with in book 5, the Cener disguise in book 13, and issues people may have had with being unable to select a final weaponmastery weapon on starting GM series.
I'll resume work on book 15 now!

1.14.5 is up. This address an issue with the RNT being identical when you restart at section 1, leading of course, to the same result/death/whatever, if you follow the same path. Also fixes some section text issues.

Haven't you read the Hitchhiker's Guide? All the hoopiest froods know where their towels are.

Dave:
The "+1 EP per non-combat section" is not working even with Deliverance as a discipline. I've rolled back the install to 1.13.3 and it works fine there. Everything after that...zilch.

Deliverance no longer gives +1 EP per section other than in Prodigy mode.
You should still get +1 EP per section as a loyalty bonus if you have Curing and completed all of the Magnakai books... Is that the case for you? If so, that's a bug.

Is that the case for you? If so, that's a bug. Yes, that is the case. Took my profile straight from Book 12 after completing 1-11. Just out of curiosity, I'll try a run through without Deliverance and see if that makes a difference either way.

Based on your comment, I checked the code for healing in each section. It was checking for whether you had "Healing", instead of "Curing". I've fixed that now. Since you did 1-12, though, it shouldn't have made a difference, since you should have had Healing. Last check, did you select to "roll for GM stats"? When you do that, you forfeit all loyalty bonuses, including the Healing/Curing bonus.

I thought since I was getting the +1/section in 1.13.3, it would be the same for later versions even with the roll-your-own-stats option. (But that was probably one of the things you fixed!) No worries. I can just run through 13 again. Thanks for the help.
