A little present for y'all :)

Since you guys managed to get me to play completely through TOEE a second time, I thought I should give back a bit of the love. So, as a total newbie, I set to work to fix the druid spontaneous spell casting from lvls 6-9. And many, many sweat-pouring hours later, I'm proud to present a temple.dll that actually fixes it. (At least it works with me, but I need other people to test it thoroughly). So my question is, where to put the dll so you guys can test it and use it for the CO8 mod?

If it should work out and you like it, I might be able to fix the cleric spontaneous casting too. Should be easy, if they handled it the same way.

Still, I'm a bit proud that I managed to pull this off. Since I'm absolutely new to RCE and all.

 

*best Darth Vader voice* Impressive, now feel your emotions, turn to the dark side and you will know the true power of the Force

[EDIT] oh yah, and.. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Crikey, that's a superb little present

Erm, I'm sure someone who can answer your question properly will be along soon. How big is your fix btw?

 

If this functions correctly, 'Slinger, I vote that you earned your username. :cool2:

Send it to Ted! Ted, if it works for you, you will of course do a compare, break out the differences, and let the Legion take a crack at it, right mate?

I'm not sure what you mean with this. Actually I've included a description of the changes in the rar I will send to Ted. I hope your email will take the 1.1MB file. And because I was a tad bored, I went ahead and fixed the cleric spontaneous casting too. For me evil and good clerics work fine now.
Also I have included a fixed spell_enum.mes with following changes:
-added TAG_* for the mass cure spells
-fixed a misnomer of mass_critical_cure as mass_serious_cure
I hope I remembered it all.

Now a request:
I need someone to make the appropriate mass_inflict spells, so I can change the evil cleric spontaneous cast to RAW. For now you get Circle of Doom for all spell lvls > 4.

I wasn't sure what the correct spell for lvl9 good cleric should be, so I put mass cure critical for now. Trying to send the file now, look out Ted .

 

This is great work Spellslinger!

I have a question though. I know this may sound stupid, but somebody needs to ask. Did you use the temple.dll from modules\Co8-5.0.0 as the basis for your changes? That is assuming you use Front End. If you don't, then the temple.dll in the ToEE root directory is all that you have.

 

Hehe, yeah that's quite tricky. I actually did alter the right dll, because I attached to it after starting TOEE with the frontend. But when I tested the fixed dll the first time, it didn't work at all until I noticed that the frontend uses a dll from the co8 directory. So everything should be fine.

 

Someone who can hack the .dll...?!

This truly is a great and glorious day; :joy: Welcome aboard!

 

Thank you for this, Spellslinger! Noticing the quality of your presents may I respectfully inform you about my birthday date ? Oh and I count on meeting you on here at Xmas as well! Seriously...thank you very much! Your talent will be precious!

 

Thanks Ted. Now I just need some feedback on functionality and my requests above . Especially the mass inflict spells.
And to all RAW specialists, what are the correct spells for level 9 evil/good?

 

Wow, what a great fix.

You probably want to wait for an expert to weigh in, but this page (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spellLists/clericSpells.htm#ninthLevelClericSpells) seems to indicate mass heal/mass harm.

This is really cool. Any chance this will help straighten out cleric domain spells post level 5?

 

As if you even needed to suggest it...
