Livonya's Beta 1.0 Mod.zip

Odd. When I look up the CR in the protos.tab, I see 2, not 3 OR 4.

Hope I'm looking in the right place.

Anyway, there should be a simple fix for the problem.

Random encounters

Well now they work sometimes. It seems likely that I may have a bad set or sequence of patches, as I am still having some empty random encounters -- even when my party has good survival skills and I know what monsters should be there... Don't worry about looking for another bug, I will reinstall the game and patches and check back if it is still a difficulty.

I wonder it it would be useful to split off into two or more threads discussing bugs, difficulty, ...

 

ok Liv i have reinstalled everything. seems the main problem was in the extra mes. files i added in for changes in equipment. without those it works fine so far as long as i dont use custom portriats, if i put those in i get an error in the temple dll. cant read memory somewhere but now ill start playing and enjoying and let you know how it goes thanks

 

hey Kalshane me personally im 2nd or 3rd level before i ever get to the moathouse and it was always way to easy so hopefully all of it will prove more challenging this time. i just like to take my time and finish off everything in an area before moving on if i can so i do every quest in town that i can before i go anywhere.

 

well Liv so far the changes have worked fine. i loved it meeting Kent. first person he saw was my half-orc and he wanted to know if he was a giant and was going to eat him, it was so cute. i noticed that all the kids, boy and girl, use the same portrait and so far other than kent none have anything to say.

i liked how kent went into the trance and told us about the updates too. great work Liv. ive just gotten started on a new game and have alot more people to chat with but if i find anything off ill let you know.

ps: when i was making my characters i noticed that the nimble fingers feat doesnt work, it doesnt give you the bounus its supose to. i never used it before so i dont know if its always been this way. i was going to take it this time to help with your new traps but it doesnt do anything.

 

Ignored.

The gnolls in the moathouse just ignored the party, no talk, no fight, just kept on going. Killed Lareth so soon, didn't notice much difference. No clue as to why the gnolls didn't respond. That's okay, it saved me 100GP to pay them off.

 

thanks, problem sorted

 

Gnolls in moathouse dialogue came up fine for me.

I've been testing the 'break free' from web on them and the bugbears. They seem to respond fine - if they can hit something, they attack and if not they seem to always make a break free attempt.

AI seems to love finishing off unconscious characters. Not sure what my thoughts on this are atm - something along the lines harsh but fair may be where I am right now.

I'm not certain if Melany's script for dealing with her inventory is working properly. I've asked her many times to destroy her starting equipment (which is the option she offers) but somehow she still clings on to it. This is probably WAD and I'm missing something (she has weapons and armour which I gave her, so it's not that!) but I can't think what it could be right now.

Once again - this is great stuff. Even if my rogue is feeling rather picked upon because he focused in charisma based skills and not the lockpicking feats!

 

Hi, appreciate everything you're doing Liv, beeb reading these forums for a bit now, but wanted to ask a question. All these changes you've made to dlg and everything on this topic, did you make to them your final mod zip at the top of the page? Or do I have to download the dlg zip and the other zip to update it? Thanks!

 

excellent all round

Livonya, way to go for making a challenging, difficult mod. I think TOEE is the best D&D adaptation, both in rules and the spirit of the game, and I'm glad someone is putting in the hard work to make it worth playing a 4th time.

As for those who say it's too hard, go back and play the original again! Christ, what's the point of playing the same game over and over. Once you know the maps inside and out any game gets easy. Now it's a whole new challenge.

So. Yeah. Good stuff.

 

I've put all the changes into the main download, so if you download from that then you don't need the other files.

You only need the other files if you downloaded the main part BEFORE I added the edit notes.

I hope that helps.

Most of the gnolls always ignore you. If you get near enough to the Gnoll Leader then he should start conversation with you.

A little hint

If you are looking to try out different stuff...

There are 3 different scenarios involving Lareth. But you will need good conversation skills and it might take some time to unfold.

One of the scenarios is a drastic change.

One more hint

Also, as a clue that you will need eventually...

There are some monsters that have secret information... if you take them prisoner then you might be able to interrogate them... though don't just try this randomly... you will know when the time is right... perhaps... plus you need to be a bully.
