Temple+ Modding Question

Yup, some foes (not many though) will favour Coup de Grace over attacking more viable threats.

 

Strategy.tab is certainly worth a look if you haven't already, almost all the AI is determined by that file.

 

I hate that happening and generally tried to reserve Coup de Grace in KotB only for particularly evil creatures, but then I throw a tantrum any time a character dies.

 

In my current in person Pathfinder game of Rise of the Runelords, Coup de Grace has become a favourite maneuver for my daughter's Cleric of Pharasma, she's so far blissfully unaware that because of this, she has accrued enough Wrath Sin points to be welcomed into the Wrath wing of Runeforge as a trusted ally of the enemies within.

 

Just open it with ProtoEd, that goes for all the .tabs.

 

Personally I use Phalzyr's ProtoED (you can download it from sorcerers.net since it no longer seems to be hosted on our boards) to edit strategy.tab.

Each row is the named differently, and called directly from Protos.tab for each monster and NPC, each block of 3 columns beyond column 1 is one turns AI command, so column 2 - 4 is the first turn in that strategy, 5-7 is second turn etc...

The 3 column blocks are split up thusly:

Targeting method/Action type/Spell selector (if applicable).

So it may be "target closest/cast fireball/'fireball_domain_special' to do exactly what it says on the tin (note 'cast fireball' can be applied to other ranges AoE spells.

I can confirm correcting the bardic instrument arguments to these values corrects the music played when performing bardic performances with each instrument type.

 

Until the birth of Temple+ (which is still years beyond my understanding in terms of coding), such .dll fixes were so far out of reach that I've grown accustomed to making the simpler fixes that avoid the .dll wherever possible, old habbits die hard I guess.
