Firstly, Drifter - love the work, keep it up. Secondly - (the meat and 'taters) We're going to need a new protos.tab file taking into consideration that this fix will only add the appropriate hit points according to the constitution bonus of the monsters, now most of this is nice and easy (monsterous manual at the ready), but there are some problems, St Cuthbert for example is 20th level cleric, 20th level fighter and has 60 - count them, 60d2+1000 hit points (with Drifers fix it adds another 800 due to the Constitution bonus for 100 hit dice!). And thirdly, which version of protos.tab would be best to start FROM? Livonya's 1.5.1? My latest version? Or Orion79's ctd fest? No offence Orion79!
Allyx, you're right, both about my post and about the CON problem. I think that I made enough experience to deal with the protos now and I would glady do the work. The point is that there are many wrong things and a full fixing operation would require a lot of time and, with the incomming Liv's 2.0, I don't mind to start working on a gonna-to-be-useless-soon protos. If you want, i think that, before tomorrow, I may give you a temporary protos that fixes all the HPs, accordingly with Drifter's. I have the knowledges to do it Another thing involves fixing many other things, like saving throws, missing celestial attributes to celestial creatures, regeneration to Hydra and a lot of more stuff..... (and with that, I mean only to fix wrong things, no weird additions that are out of the rules). For the records, it would be a good start to join in only one file all the modifications that has been done untill now. They should be the fix about shuriken, ioun stones and.... anything else?
talking about ioun stones etc... Just an idea but can the thiefs tools and belts be stackable (put in the same slot) eg thief keeps tools in belt. ioun stones in head or bardic slots or whatever it was.
Re: talking about ioun stones etc... I can't make belts and thieves tools stack, but I can make the belts act like thieves tools, I can also put the ioun stones in either the headband slot, or work from your "pack" (where the unused items your carrying go), I prefere the later as the abillities they give "stack" with each other (you can only "equip" one headband, but can "carry" all of the Ioun stones).
Honestly, there are so few belts that moving thieves tools is not worthy of, except if we start creating new belts. Anyway, I think that they should be active from backpack: no thief would be so crazy to expose his precious tools on the belt to enemy attacks.
I've been thinking a lot about the ioun stones issue (well, a bit. Ok, that should say "I've been drinking a lot..." :beer: ). Which implementation people wanted caused some division at the time and I dare say it will do so again when a decision is made for Co8 4. Anyways, I tihnk we are gonna have to take a poll and the losers are gonna have to deal with it. I don't see it can be helped. The winner goes in Co8, the loser gets stuck on a thread somewhere so people can use it if they want. But we can't really have 2 competing protoseses going around, getting updated with every change / fix / addition, its silly and excessive effort for Allyx or whoever gets stuck with it. As for the issue at hand (which protos to fiddle with now) - none of the above. Wait for Liv 2.0 and add it to that, along with Allyx's other stuff, and anything else we need, and it can be part of Co8 4.
That would be the deal, but, untill the 2.0 use my fixed Allyx's protos that I'm gonna to relase in the next hours.
... the problem being, of course, that in the meantime Liv has likely changed a lot of stuff in her protos.tab as well, so someone will have to merge all these modifications into one file.
I know it and I may tell you that copying so many infos from one file to another is really a pain in the butt: the problem is that our "dear" and buggish protos editor does not allow to just copy one row and to paste it in another file. It would be much more easy....
Hey I meant to ask, how DO you bring stuff into a protos (other than type it in). What does 'combine files' do?
I do the same thing, only ever had a problem when using backspace to delete a row - it made the file about 700kb bigger than it should be! And added 200 blank and uneditable columns.
Yeah thats what happened to me the first time but every time after that its worked, not 100% sure what I did different but I think it was the backspacing
