Hickory Branch MOD (new)

well it seems to work perfectly for the bugbears and gnolls weapons

 

I had talked with Ted about it and was leaning toward writing a script. I decided to write a script. It is easier to set the OIF_NO_LOOT flag when making mobs. However, there are hundreds of mobs for weapons, armor, and gear with at least 9 extra mouse clicks per item to set each NO_LOOT flag of which would total something like 3,000+ extra mouse clicks to make the mobs (*sigh* lotsa work). The san_dying script might be the lesser of two bads.

 

as I understand it you can just set the no loot flag for the item in question in the protos.

 

OB1, OB1, where art thou? Hmmm... I think this was
one of the points that need to be improved in HB. I
said this in a couple of earlier posts (well, a couple of
months ago, to be more precise). Lemme think... why
not make up a story of a courier from HB who was sent
to bring help? Unfortunately, when aid arrived, everyone
was dead...? Just a sketch.


Oh, and krunch, when do you need the things you asked
me to do for?

 

@maggit: It will be enroute to you, soon.

 

Agreed in both cases. I have been secretly kicking around some ideas for writing a 'book' to include in the game like what Ted mentioned, similar to the idea of Lareth's book. (Well, now, the cat is out of the bag.)

Here is what I would like to see added to the game. (requires approval by the OC)
* Note: Someone changed the dialogue of Mona for 2 of her options to give access to my mod.
- The party travels to Nulb and visits Mona.
- The party helps Mona.
- Mona in oracle fashion prophecies and offers 'challenging adventure'. When the party accepts the challenge, they automatically travel (are instantly teleported) to a new map.
- Monsters (soldiers) on that map protect a chest belonging to the Half-Orc Commander. The party kills the monsters on the map and opens the chest. In the chest is a book (among other things).
- If they read the book, they learn about a Half-Orc named Kharrac, learn about his twin concubines Besa and Basa and learn about his comrade Urnk. Also, they learn about Hickory Branch, learn about its storied past and a description on where Hickory Branch is located (becomes marked on their map).

 

*sigh* With respect to modding my Hickory Branch MOD for ToEE, there were three paragraphs (I, specifically, recall) between the Players Handbook, Monster Manual, and DM Guide (read'em for researching information this past weekend in a large bookstore) that I am not able to find on the SRD 3.5 web site. So, today, I spent a total of $ 101.49 dollars (USA) on the SRD 3.5 books, the Players Handbook, Monster Manual, and DM Guide.

 

*grumble* The 1st and 2nd Edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons books could only be bought in stores [back then] and the books only cost $ 12 and 15 dollars (USA). Now, prices are ridiculous.

 

Heh... I paid about 100 zlotys for one corebook
which is about 1/12 of the average monthly sallary
in Poland. :/ Now... that I have three + arms and
equipment and complete warrior this gives almost
half of such sallary.

 

In Australia they usually hang around the $65AUD mark - i can appreciate how nice the books look, and smell even, but yeah, its kinda steep.

Although i did get a copy of the Eberron Campaign Setting free with the Dragonshard Collector's Edition (cost 10 bucks more, got special extra stuff as well, not just the book )

 

Adjusted for inflation, the books are actually cheaper now than they were back then. If the cost of the core books that had cost "$12 or $15" back then had kept pace with the overall rate of inflation, they would cost roughly $40 or more each now.
