Icewind Dale: ToEE - Total Conversion

Yeah, and I was just thinking about if it is set to "enemy seen", then it would actually trigger the bug that we are trying to avoid. They would be buffing, and we may be buffing, too...

I am just offering suggestions to see what can be done so that this IWD would resemble the original for enemy placements near the beginning of a map, and still allow for pre-buffing of the enemies further in the map.

 

Yes, probably no need to redo it for what you have working right now, but something to keep in mind for the remainder of the game.

 

Hi
I'm very excited with this proyect!! I would like to know if when will be finish I will need IWD installed in my pc, or the files will be "packed" in the Toee mod.

Thanks!

 

Makes sense to me...
But there isn't any tecnichal reason.... isn't it?

 

There are a few programing bugs/conflicts that can be avoided too by doing it that way

 

@Allyx - I just played through the demo again, and this time I noticed that there are 4 shaman in the orc cave instead of the previous 2. Is this a random spawn? I don't recall 4 in there before.

Also, this time I had a druid with me and he cured Ghereg. When he ran out (disappeared) from the tower, the camping icon stayed red. It only changed to green when I exited and went back inside.

 

@Allyx - I've got some questions about the obscuring mist spell.

You mentioned to Ted that you weren't sure that the misty cloud graphic is not the correct size (or am I thinking of the wrong spell?)

The description says that it has an area of effect of 5 feet around the caster and, to me, that is about what the little cloud looks like. If I use the 5-foot step cursor to see how big the area is 5-feet around the caster, the misty cloud is about that size.

But it seems to effect (conceal people) in a much larger area.

For testing, if my druid casts it, firstly, the misty cloud is not centered on my character. The misty cloud graphic is created to the NE direction of my druid.

Also, instead of a 5 foot concealment area, if my people are within something like 10 or 15 feet, they too are concealed.

Three additional questions:
1) since the obscuring mist spell is cast on yourself, should the misty cloud move with the caster? It is a stationary cloud, so the shaman are casting it, and then they are running out of it. Seems like a waste of a spell if they simply cast it and run out of the cloud.

2) The description clearly says that it obscures all sight outside the 5-foot cloud, so how can the shaman target my characters for sound burst and hold when he can't see them?

3) What is the difference between the 1st level obscuring mist (cleric and druid) spell, and the 2nd level fog cloud (druid) spell? The description appears basically the same, so should the druid have both spells?

 

Here are three pictures:

1) My druid is showing his 5-foot radius


2) he casts obscuring mist, and it is actually centered on him correctly this time, and you can see that the cloud is about the correct size, but all my characters are concealed:


3) My cleric (the very bottom character) casts obscuring mist and you can see that the cloud is not centered on my cleric, and my fighter (the very top character) is still gaining the concealed icon even though he is very far away from the cleric
