Damage delay not showing up?

Post by TheMan »

So I'm fairly new to this program, and was pretty excited to playlets my game. However, whenever I enter a battle, my hero takes an extremely long time to attack. So I looked at the wiki and there is supposed to be an option called "Delay Before Attack" (Under Damage Settings). It seems that I don't have this option (see pic). Does anybody know what the deal with this is?

I'm on OS X Yosemite if that means anything.

EDIT: Oh, i'm stupid. I somehow had set the delay turns before attack way up. Never mind.

It normally should be under Damage Bitsets.

Welcome!

That option was moved to the Appearance & Sounds submenu. Unfortunately, when something is changed in the engine, generally the tutorials and articles on the wiki aren't updated immediately (or ever...) - there are so many articles to update! So the menus often look pretty different to the screenshots, with things renamed, reordered, moved, or in some cases replaced. You'll just have to look around; probably it got moved to a more sensible place.
I see that the Battles article is missing lots of new settings.
On the other hand the F1 help pages are always up-to-date and quite complete, but they have fewer details and it's harder to search them.
