Livonya's Beta 1.5 Mod.zip

Per 3.5 rules, Gnolls don't have damage reduction. Removing them is 'fixing' them with regards to how they were written in the monster manual. I don't think anyone is saying they are too hard... just incorrectly implemented.

 

Screeg -

Actually I think it was an error on Troika's part. They corrected if for several of the Gnolls themselves, but the corrections were not triggering with some gnolls because of complications with the mob.files

Not all gnolls had DR, only the ones that were being locked from changes by the mob.files problem and I don't think that was intended by Troika.

Kalshane already pointed this out, though I still appreciate your effort.

I will work on it, though I can never get it to be exactly as the rules. There are limits to what I can do with the scripts.

Your concerns are noted (as were Kalshane's) and I will look into it sooner or later... a lot to do!

Hi

This is perhaps a little dumb for you guys, but after a year I decided to give TOEE another try with Livonya's new patch...but I'm already stuck at the installation }

It say in the instructions:

1) dlg

The contents of this folder should over-write whatever you currently have in your dlg folder

Temple of Elemental Evil/data/dlg
--------------------

The problem is, I don't even have a dlg folder ?? The data folder contains 3 sub-folders, art,music and sound....no dlg, scr or mes....

What did I do wrong ? It's a fresh install with Patch 1 and 2.

 

Thanks. That created the folders. So I install Patch 1 and 2, the Co8 patch, the Fixes by moebius2778 and THEN Livonyas mod ? Oh my, this is complicated

 

wait... so liviona's patch does NOT include all the co8 stuff? i need to install them seperately?

 

well, I installed livs on patch 2 WITHOUT the co8 mod... and I found some fallacies...

1. Tab did not make lootables glow blue.
2. I did not have a "disable/enable intro movies" batch file
3. I did not have the jpg map...
etc.

It would be nice if it actually included all of these, but as it doesnt, it would be nice if it would be said that this should be used together.

Also, what about the moebius2778 fixes? do they go along with her fixes? do i install them first? or are they included / overwritten with different fixes (ie, if it affects the same files)

 

Livonya's mod has a readme file which describes specifically how to install it. The file is called "Installation instructions".

 

I think the best fix is to simply give Druids Armor Profeciency Light and Armor Profeciency Medium. Then the Druid can select Heavy if they want it.

Do you see any problems with that?

I am pretty sure I can do this via scripting, but I wanted to make sure it would be an okay fix.

I am pretty sure that Dwarven Full Plate has DR, which Masterwork Full Plate does not.

Liv has made the gnolls a bit more challenging. before she worked on them they would just stand there and let us pick them off one at a time now at least they all jump in when you attack. some of the larger groups of gnolls do have chieftans with them and no matter how tough you are the die can still go against you especially when the enemy has numbers on you. the game gets better every time Liv and the other modders here add to it and i hope they keep it up.

 

Liv i was thinking about your skelton priest. he adds more of a challange to the meadow but could be a bit tougher. what if you were to give him a +1 unholy mace. it would make him more of a threat, good parties couldnt do anything with it and id be surprised if anyone but the traders would by something like that, and it would give evil parties something they could use. good parties can buy a +1 holy mace from calbert. jsut a thought.
