Icewind Dale: ToEE - Total Conversion

Well, certainly worth letting people know about it, sure. And no, I didn't know about it. Thanks for that.

 

Ok, here we go: instead of red flames, the beetles now spit a glorious rolling cloud of green vapour.

Btw, I think they should only do this once, not every attack, but that's just me.

 

Yeah, sorry if there was any ambiguity, what I am saying is each critter should fire his breath weapon only to start combat, a la those big wyverny things with breath weapons, then wade n with bite and claw. But they do occur multiple times, and I'll put that back in KotB where it belongs, so the effect won't be wasted.

In IWD they're more of a gas spore, blowing up on death, aren't they? Either way

 

Sorry guys, I've been really rather lazy these last couple of weeks, but I hope to fix the remaining issues ready for a New Year release date, I have a week off work between Christmas day and New Years day to finish everything off.

Tried this version with my Steam version of IWD today, I activated a non-IWD module, then attempted to activate IWD again, it asked for the Infinity .KEY file, so I pointed it to my D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition\chitin.key and click open at which point nothing happens.

I've not yet looked into this issue, mostly because I'm not sure what would be causing it, and thus not sure how to fix it, but I will, and I'll let you know of anything I find out as and when I do.

@Shiningted, thanks for the acid splash effects, I'll add those and check them out in game. I assume removing the multiple instances of the spell in the creature's protos tab entry will remove the extra castings of the spell in game? the strategy.tab line only lists one casting IIRC for the Beetle strategy.

 

Yup, casters will cast as many spells as they have in their protos.tab (sorcerers being an exception).

Re FDR's problem, I also got it in the area outside the beetle cave (after I slept in the beetle cave and the Gob bodies evaporated). As soon as I started picking up loot, after 3 or 4 items it went away. Seems to be some sort of overload of objects. no idea why it didn't occur on similar maps in ToEE. It's an annoyance but there is a good chance players won't even see it, presumably they have to rest in a dangerous place without looting first which are two unlikely things in a proper game.

FDR, if you are replaying, could you please keep an eye on the random_encounter file and see what happens when sleeping etc. Everything should be fixed now.

Al, I'll have a crack at adding the videos to sleeping

 

Cheers Ted, I did add a line of code to the caravan map orc to set the script id to 0 after setting the vars and triggering the run off command, that should fix the resetting vars issue.

I will try the save you sent FDR, I'm hoping to isolate the exact item that causes the issue so I can delete it and replace it with one that doesn't cause issues.

 

Yep, will do that tomorrow after I wake up, probably around 3pm GMT.

 

Vampiric Puppy gets the credit for that effect. Glad you like it though
