Chimera prodject MOD

Chimera prodject MOD




goal:
change a hydra into a chimera
add proto type to protos in toee

volunteer prodjects:
make texture to be mapped to the chimera
make a protos for toee
and subment them via attachment

Release issue #1 available for DL
we still need the rules mod package - request for Zoltec or
any volunteers? It also could use a better texture possibly

-i am providing the base package

Code:

14343	obj_t_npc					130																	14343	size_large	100		mat_flesh			7				1145	45	63																																																															OCF_MONSTEROCF_NO_FLEE		19	13	17	4	13	10							align_chaotic_evil										4540					14343		10		5	1d8+4	Bite	8																	ONF_KOSONF_NO_EQUIP					4	7	9	6	9	9d10+100	mc_type_beast					Monster Bonus Damage	Electricity	1d4	Monster Stable																																																									Wizard	8									Listen	5	Spot	6																	feat combat reflexes	Alertness	Mobility	Iron Will																																																			'Call Lightning' domain_special 3	'Chain Lightning' domain_special 3	'Cause Fear' domain_special 3	'Call Lightning' domain_special 3	'Chain Lightning' domain_special 3	'Chain Lightning' domain_special 3																

in this protos code line (protos.tab)
the chimera will call lightning, chain lightning, fear, and deal extra lighning damage
as though it had 3 bronze dragon heads

it also holds feats and stats like or simulair original chimera
iron will, mobility, reflexes combat, alertness

this would replace the hydra line tag id #14343
or could be added as a new creature

 

I'll help you in there. Though it will be the same stats like the Hydra since I don't know it's real stats in DND

 

Chimera stats from the SRD: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/chimera.htm

 

UPDATE

I'l let Xvicious handle the stats.

Nah! The zip file is password protected. I won't release it just yet, it's not safe for yar Co8 Installation.



EDIT Take note Xvicious, you can approach the monster whenever you wish. I set it's behaviour to sleeping STATE FLAG.

Retrieve the monsters .SKM file on Temple of Elemental Evil\data\art\meshes\Monsters\Chmra "Chmra.SKM". Just copy-paste the modified Chmra.SKM unto the directory and your good to go. Just select "True Neutral Alignment" in-game and see the actual changes.

 

SURPRISE! Are you?

 

update:
by-product of this prodject will reflec a 3 headed hydra model

I will post this update soon

Zoltec, when you get a chance could you test the 3headed skm
in game and post a screen-shot?

p.s. thank you for volunteering on the prodject.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
rules for 3 headed hydra sugguest 3d10+18 HD
and possibly scale the model to large size instead of HUGE
its C.R. should be reduced by 2/5
since it would have only 3/5 of its original heads
it could be used as a random encounter since the
challenge is less (lower level encounters)
this suggests the 3h hydra could be introduced as an encounter
early in the game in toee as a random encounter

 

It's working ! Great work ! The on problem is the wings and... the skin.

Still uploading screenshot...

Tadahhh!



It is indeed set to : size_large

I've thought were making a Chimera?

I'l try to make a skin for it but don't get you hopes to high on my editing skills!

Anyway I've given it mobility (alternative to hover), spring attack (alternative to multi-attack), alertness, ironwill. I don't know how to edit the C.R. I'm not familliar with it.

 

We are making a chimera, I need it to have 3 heads first
wanted to see if it would work ok.

now we will have a 3 h hydra + chemira maybe

this is the first step
next step I will try to add wings
thank you for the pic
looks awsome!

C.R. (challenge rating) ;this is related to XP reward system
plus D.M.'s use it to create adventures closeley challenging parties
per encounter, or a campaign or level.

the hyrdra wil 3 heads for example
has less attack and less HP giving it a lower CR
this also means the encounter party level can be lower too
;makling it ez'r to defeat.

dont forget the chimera has a breath weapon 1/d4 rounds
you could look at the ICE dragon breath weapon for ref.

options for breath: burning hands, acid, lightning bolt, cold
the dragon head color determins its breath

the chimera is CR 7 I think
so this means it take 4-5 level 7 characters to defeat it, with a relative challenge
bosting higher rewards XP excetra.

the first 32 bytes in the header of skm
need changing because I deleted faces
thus the counts changed

mod triangle counts: 1818 (new) (1A 07 ) or 0x071Ah
ori triangle counts: 2514 (old) (d2 09) or 0x09D2h

deleted two heads of triangles but I leave the points intact
so that the bones indexed and offsets dont change the animation

 

Alright, but don't you think that a bronze metallic skin can fit chimera? OKAY, I'll integrate a breathing attack like lizard dragon.



Hmm.. Everty time anoteher head attack change its color is that possible?

 

yes but could you expand the bronze tone over the grey more
so there is less spotty contrast

if you could also paint 3 different head colors on the
tga (in places not used in oringinal map) so that I can map their colors to the corrcet heads?
say this one would have a white,and black /(or red )dragon head + the lioness head

dont forget the 3 head hydra has 2 less heads to attack with
and less HP, might as well scale it to medium (currently large) size too
@pic your character might live longer too

 

Yeah, I'll just draww and you'l map the .TGA texture is this correct? Besides it's not the metallic version of the chimera. Hmm.. wat about the other 2 heads? I thought they are removed..."has two less heads to attack with"

can I futher extend the area of the .TGA image?

 

yea i mean't paint on the original size tga

but expand the color over the grey areas by painting them more
bronze

the bronze is spotty contrasting with the darker grey shade
I want more bronze and less contrast with the darker grey shade

plus the head colors could be painted inside their where its not painted


the green and red areas for the other heads colour
green: lioness
red: dragon 2

I can map those textures to the heads seperate in an8

 

Understood. Anyway, I'm creating a more suitable graphic than the generic one.

 

chimera test request


after in game run test

send a pic if no errors arize let me know
what happens

 

How do you like this one? I'm working on the other heads right now, and for the final part I'll tweak those saturated colors.



Still uploading the image, though it doesn;t crash it has problems.
