Icewind Dale: ToEE - Total Conversion

Yeah It was more venting than helpful...

Basically as I have it now, the Townspeople have this script in their file:

Code:

from toee import *
from utilities import *
from scripts import *

def san_dying( attachee, triggerer ):
    if should_modify_CR( attachee ):
        modify_CR( attachee, get_av_level() )
    game.global_vars[23] = game.global_vars[23] + 1
    if (game.global_vars[23] >= 2):
        game.party[0].reputation_add( 92 )
    return RUN_DEFAULT

def san_start_combat( attachee, triggerer ):
    if game.global_flags[20] == 0:
        if (leader != OBJ_HANDLE_NULL):
            leader.begin_dialog(attachee, 690)
            game.global_flags[20] = 1
    else:
        game.new_sid = 0
    return RUN_DEFAULT

def san_enter_combat( attachee, triggerer):
    attachee.float_line(690,triggerer) # "Hrothgar! Help me..."

    return RUN_DEFAULT

def Hrothgar(attachee,triggerer):
    if game.global_flags[20] == 0:
        game.obj_create(14006, game.leader.location)
        game.particles("sp-summon monster I", 14006)
        game.sound(4033, 1)
        game.global_flags[20] = 1
    else:
        game.new_sid = 0
    return RUN_DEFAULT

So When attacked, it calls line 690 from the dialogue file:

Code:

{690}{Hrothgar! Help me...}{Hrothgar! Help me...}{}{}{}{game.particles( 'sp-Curse Water', npc ); Hrothgar(npc, pc); game.global_flags[20] = 1}
{691}{E:}{}{1}{}{1}{}

Hrothgar (singular) appears and attacks. IF Hrothgar dies (he shouldn't, but it is possible to kill him currently):

Code:

def san_dying( attachee, triggerer ):
    if should_modify_CR( attachee ):
        modify_CR( attachee, get_av_level() )
    game.global_vars[23] = game.global_vars[23] + 1
    if (game.global_vars[23] >= 1):
        game.party[0].reputation_add( 92 )
        game.global_flags[20] = 1
    return RUN_DEFAULT

def san_first_heartbeat( attachee, triggerer ):
   if (game.global_flags[20] == 1):
      attachee.object_flag_set(OF_OFF)
   return RUN_DEFAULT

game.global_flags[20] == 1 which should tell Hrothgar in his house to set flag OF_OFF only it doesn't. the global_flag IS set, the console told me so, but the OF_OFF command, either set or unset does not stop Hrothgar spawning in his house.

 

Ok, so I did a little testing today, it would seem that Temple+ is preventing Aspel's wolf problem quest from completing, not sure why, but it completes just fine when launching the game with TFE-X.

It doesn't explain why Hrothgar isn't working though... I will try setting the OF_OFF flag on his model in that room with World Ed and see if tha helps.

EDIT: I figured it out, I had to give Hrothgar's proto the OF_OFF object flag in World Ed to get it working.

I've also noticed that Temple+ doesn't have the same problems as TFE-X does when it comes to Maplimits.mes settings that are too small for your selected resolution, good thing I don't have photosensitive epilepsy 'cause that strobe effect could have brought on a seizure.

On a related note, is someone who uses TFE-X on the largest resolution size able to test a Maplimits.mes file for me? I can't test the internal Easthaven buildings at 1600 x 1050 resolution as my screen doesn't support it File attached below, extract it to the ToEE root folder when the IWD mod is loaded and patched to patch 2 to make it work.

 

Uploaded Patch 3 in the other thread as a gift to @FDR4PREZ to make all his Hrothgar battling dreams come true.

 

Re: the Hrothgar On/Off thing, the script was correct, but as his mob didn't have the OF_OFF flag at all, so it was failing to function.

I suspect that @WinstonShnozwick had a similar problem with the Soulknife blade, he instead set the object flag in the protos, but didn't script the item to unset OF_OFF to make it vanish.

 

I did manage to beat him a few times once my players had gained a level or two, I think I'll give him a potion of haste for the final build though.

 

That would probably be the maplimits issue Allyx mentioned with the patch.

Confirmed

 

Yep, I thought that mihgt be the case, its will be a simple fix, and just one file needs to be edited.

I was fixing the map limits for the Easthaven maps and in a moments lapse of attention, applied the same map limits parameters to those maps too.

I'll take a look and post a fix for it.

Are you able to run the game in TFE-X's highest resolution setting at all? If so could you check Easthaven's interior buildings and see if the map frame strobes when moving the screen edges for me?

 

Ok, new patch time.

I have fixed the maplimits for all Kuldahar Pass maps, nudged the stair up icon on the middle level of the mill to the left a bit to make it easier to access, and nudged the door icon on Kuldahar Pass North up a little as the new map limits made the original placement difficult to click on. Also adjusted the number of magical +1 arrows in the beetle cave down to 9 as they should be.

IWD Demo Patch 4 is available here.

 

Yeah, I thought that got a fix. Hmmm...
