Equipping Characters?

Allyx, You forgot a few things. There is no entry for 5123 in mapnames.mes, but I fixed that. There is no dialogue for your merchants in the zip. I can't even get the map to work. Every time I try to go there, whether from starting the game or game.fade_and_teleport the game just crashes.

 

Thanx for the changes description :thumbsup:

 

Allyx, Shop Map 2 is working now. Great work! You might want to post that you need to install it over ShiningTed's mod or you will get a CTD on changing maps if you use the new armor or weapons added by that mod. I still think the inventory still needs some tweaking, i.e removing the armor starting characters can't afford (full plate) and adding more copies of armor they can afford (studded leather). There should be enough of leather and splint mail to equip you characters the way they are with the original or the Co8 starting_equipment.mes. Also, characters with the Weapon Focus feat for either long sword or scimitar should be allowed to keep those weapons. The script can be modified to check for those feats and not remove the weapons if they are present. If you want any assistance with any of this (not that you need the help, just so you can devote your time to finishing your Verbonc mod that we all are dying to play) I am more than willing to work on it for you. I was actually going to tackle this project myself this weekend (when I would finally have the time) but you beat me too it. Damn, you're fast. And you do excellent work. Thanks.

Are the Viginette movies playing for you? They're not for me, and I can't figure out why. I would think they would play the first time you entered the map, just like the one for the temple. Maybe you need a special script or trigger. I would like to get them to play again, since they clue you in to why you are there and what you are supposed to be doing.

 

Were Plate Gloves added or were originally part of the game? Am curious because I installed your new shop mod and I don't recall if the Plate Gloves were ever black. Can this be changed so it will match the Plate Boots color (which is more greyish silverish)?

 

I'll look into it, at the moment there are only a couple of colours for all gloves and boots.

 

I'm not sure which intro movie clips he's referring to but I am not able to view the opening intro movie for the alignment you choose after you leave "shop". I do get the clip when your party is heading for Hommlet though. My intro movies aren't disabled unless one of th emods did by default and I checked the maplist.mes file and it matches the one you quoted.

 

Thanks Allyx. I know how to change the shop inventory with ToEE, I was just suggesting that other people who don't might want some changes. I really like this mod and think it should become the basis for the ongoing modding here. It can so easily be adapted to launch any independant mod anyone would chose to make.

I do have the intro movies disabled, but that should not affect the movies for the opening viginettes. It doesn't for any other mod. I even re-enabled the intro movies and they work fine, but no movies for the viginettes with this mod. My maplist.mes entries match yours, and match the entries for the viginette maps from the original game. I think it has to do with game.fade_and_teleport, but I'm not sure.
