I'm glad this was finally released after about a year! What prevented its release?

 

My taking over the release process probably slowed it down a bit. I plan for more frequent releases in the future, but we'll see...

 

I handed the reigns over to doug just recently so don't blame him
Unfortunately RL comes at you fast and I don't have nearly the free time I used to.

 

Does this mean Doug is now walking that dog? Huh?

 

Cool news.

I was investigating damage reduction and overcoming it back in February, and maybe I simply didn't use monsters that actually had damage reductions properly given to them, but when I did test (e.g. trying to find a monster with DR Good and giving that attack type to an attack against the monster), I was not seeing anything in debug indicating that my attack type was having an effect on ignoring DR that it should bypass per SRD. Can anyone else confirm this behavior?
As an aside, from skimming through the proto files, I did not see a lot of monsters with DR for things like alignment to begin with, so I don't know if it is something that was meant to be supported by vanilla based on the module.

 

I haven't haven't heard of that issue before. If you can find a creature that isn't working as expected I can try it out also.

 

Thanks Doug for implementing the Fochlucan Lyrist so well! And the Swashbuckler was a tremendous surprise - I am sure I am not the only person who has been at the protos adding something akin to a souped-up Daring Outlaw effect (imagine variant Fighter from p58 of Unearthed Arcana)

Winston DR Good doesn't work period - see experiment below:

1. Hack protos.tab
2. Edit item 6317 (Dwarven Armor) from Monster DR All 3 to Monster DR Good 3
3. Start fresh Neutral game
4. Add pre-generated Cleric to party
5. Give 6317 via console
6 Add armor to torso
7. Begin adventuring
8. Make way to inn
9. Pass time to evening
10. Enter pub
11. Join drinking contest
12. Sustain 3 points subdual damage [with DR All would sustain 0 points]
13. Abandon contest and halt experiment

 

I think DS found that the enums for DR were offset.

 

@_doug_ I want to say that it was a demon I was testing against, IIRC bearded devil based on d20srd.org saying they have DR/Good

@Pygmy - Thanks, that's a nice sanity check that I'm not the only one seeing something wrong here.

What I was seeing was that the monster was resisting damage regardless of my attack type. I was |= a D20DAP type onto the damage packet.attack power which seems to match with the D20AttackPower in d20_defs.h, however I see another enum in the C++ project called AttackPowerType in temple_enums which is not used.

@Sitra Achara I'll have to test again, not sure at this point if it is the attack type enum that is wrong or some calculation in the innards that causes DR to work.

 

I’ve run into one problem in the new temple+ version so far. There is an issue with some of the new races when importing save games from temple+ v1.0.75 into v1. 0.76. Unfortunately, the problem was really in v1. 0.75 which had the wrong prototypes for some of the races. In order to fix a save in v1.76, the console can be used (the model of the characters won't be updated until a save game is reloaded):

To open the console use: (left)shift+~

The command needed is the following:
game.party[X].stat_base_set(stat_name, value)

X = 0 is the first party member, 1 the second, ...
stat_name = stat_gender or stat_race
value = the new value of the stat

gender values:
0 = female
1 = male

race value:
102 = strongheart halfling
134 = ghostwise halfling
161 = gold dwarf
162 = wood elf
38 = tallfellow halfling

To change the gender of character 0 to male (0=female, 1=male):
game.party[0].stat_base_set(stat_gender,1)

To change the race of character 1 to strongheart halfling:
game.party[1].stat_base_set(stat_race,102)

 

Is there a reason to change races? I wouldn't want to confuse the users...

 

I think someone reported a strongheart halfling loading as a gold dwarf.

 

This is just a bug with save compatibility between versions, not something that will be a problem for new saves in either version, correct?

 

Right. The new version should be correct. The problem save compatibility.
