results.t - what it all means
#1 by hanako - Aug 25 2007
Some eagle-eyed players may have spotted this file showing up in their game directory after they finish a game. This isn't really something the player is meant to look at, the numbers are there for debugging purposes. However, if you're absolutely stuck trying to find an ending, you might be able to get this file to help you - IF you know what it all means.Open it up in a text editor and you'll see a bunch of information. The beginning is straightforward (if you're a D&D player) - Int is Mind, Con is Stamina, Dex is Luck, Cha is Charm.
After your stats you'll see a list of endings with numbers next to them. These are how many points you have towards that ending. Whatever ending has the most points is the one you will receive (unless you unlocked a special ending.)
A lot of these will have '0' next to them. That means there is an Official Requirement for that ending and you didn't meet it. If, for example, you absolutely must have 100 Mind to get an ending, then if your mind was not 100, the points for that ending will be 0.
Some of these will have *negative* points next to them. This doesn't necessarily mean worse than 0, this just gives a different sort of result so that you can see it's a different problem. Negative numbers usually mean that your character hasn't done a particular *activity* often enough. A Fighter, for example, is expected to take fighting classes. If you haven't taken enough classes, 100 points will be subtracted from your score in the Fighter ending. (Which doesn't make it absolutely impossible to reach that ending... but really really hard!)
A side result of this is that trying to reach an ending by putting in stats with the cheat code may not work, since you are only affecting stats and not activities.
