Also, how do I interact with things around me using the items in inventory? For instance, lets say I have a webbing adjacent to me, covering a corridor. How do I use my torch to burn the webbing? Can I use inventory items on another item?

I have an injured backpack and I have a potion of mending. Should be simple to use. I have tried drinking the potion and applying the potion to the back pack. The only message I ever get is "(resource zero) backpack is unaffected" ???

Anybody have a solution or work around, or should I just throw the potion at the nearest monster?

I find it to be the only roguelike which seems to make sense.

I am a big fan of the survival horror genre and what really sold the game to me was the ammount of hiding required. Alongside this, the absolute terror which i find myself gripped with every time I defile a gravestone somehow. Wonderful stuff.

I hope this thread comes back to life at some point.

I have been playing incursion for a short while now (since christmas maybe?) and it seems to be the only roguelike i can actually become engaged with.

A few weeks ago i was given, very kindly, by my employer an old (but not as old as mine) laptop. This one runs on windows xp pro. For some reason Incursion refuses to run on it. It claims there is no file known as "mod," in the incursion folder. This is true, but what should be in there? Why is it not there? Can i fix this some how? I have tried, possibly naively, to create a folder called mod and hoped for the best. This, naturally, didn't work.

Thanks for your time in advance.

I think it's already somewhat outdated, and Julian changed the way the manual is html-ified at some point, so even when using a dif application, it's very hard to update it. A complete redoing would probably be in order, if we were to keep it.

Even though it's a bit annoying that my work on it won't be useful, removing it, or at least ignoring it, is probably the right thing to do.

I vote that to eliminate redundancy, we remove the replicated internal manual.

More useful is a summarized manual integrated into the strategy guide. E.g. Currently we have Gods: benefits per level. Races: pros and cons at a glance.

This is much more useful as a reference.
