Yesterday, after rambles on Discord with Dastgir and Asheraf,
I've got another Brilliant Idea for a Release from Habilis!
The Idea:
Camp Fire to restore / regenerate HP & SP.
When you sit by the Camp fire, you start feeling the warmth and the comfort, so your HP & SP begin to regenerate.
There is a nice contribution from Meko on that subject
Menhir (Big rock that possesses magical powers and able to restore Health and Energy of Seekers)
Thanks Meko!
So, I thought to myself, well, that is wonderful, but why not make it portable?
Because, conveniently, there is this NPC sprite :
4_BONFIREID: 10252 (0x280C)
Even more conveniently, there is this item:
Matchstick Item ID# 7035 (Matchstick)
A phosphorus tipped stick that can be used to start a fire.

Dastgir, suggested using this plugin to make this possible:
https://github.com/dastgirp/HPM-Plugins/blob/master/src/plugins/npc-duplicate.c
Mechanics :
When you use the item Matchstick in your inventory, it will spawn a duplicate of the NPC called Camp Fire.
So that when you are in the field, farming, grinding you could rest.
- You need to sit close to the Camp Fire (3 cells ) to feel the warmth.
- Anyone can sit by your Camp Fire and rest.
- Camp Fire lasts 2-3 minutes.
- Need to sit for at least 3 seconds to begin feeling the warmth and comfort.
- you cannot start a fire within 5 cells of another Camp Fire.
- If you use a match one more time, old Camp Fire disappears and a new one appears.
I think it will add an element of roleplay and romanticism to the gameplay.
(Habilis is a soft, sensitive and romantic type ).
Expect the Release sometime soon...
