New side quest: wild boar rampage!!

so ive modded a Boar base of teh pig with a major overhaul with new skin texture and correct stats challege rating's etc, testing its been pretty cool it behaves pretty much like it should charging around raging and not falling uncon and dying even at negative hpts..

i figured it would make a good sub plot quest. mother boar with her piglets in woods or rioting though the farmer fields,

farmer wants it dead, but whats the druids got to say about this??, with they intervene in needless slaughter can the creatures be lead away /charmed etc are they hostile? or just hungry..hehe

what path would adventures decide on...and wheres great daddy boar??

CR 2-6 kinda stuff, some interesting scripting etc could be fun! morals ethics options for good evil pretty easy differnt reward based ending faction etc...

im willing to try to put it together myself.

what do ya think

 

Give it a shot. What about the Arena of Heroes? Who was working on that? Anybody know...?

 

Now how could I have forgotten that? You're right, of course. It'd be great to get an update or something....Morph?

 

Hey VS nice work.:thumbsup:

If you wind up getting bogged down at some point, just let me know. My coding skills are well below virtualy everyone else here, but I can lend a hand with dialogue or whatever if you need.

Cuchulainn.

 

That's useful, I'd done a couple of boar for my summoning spells project, but ATM they are just using the brown pig graphics, and I though that a new texture would be needed. I'd be interested in seeing what you've done.

For reference, the Protos.tab ID's I've used are:

14507: Dire Boar
14520: Fiendish Boar
14521: Fiendish Dire Boar

Nerik yep np nerik) i was just actualy working on a dire boar graphic as well lol your in luck.

i assume you modded teh Co8 install ?? if so ill mod that protos for you with the updated graphics or better yet if ya can send me the protos.tab and description.mes and meshes .mes of yours i can add my stuff in easier= and fire it back to ya asap.

as i have a regular boar as well on my list.

 

heres a pic of druid with dire boar pet:google:

hes a rather large fellow heh, rest asured that hes the proper size as well (according to my manuals)..hehe

also heres the same druid facing off against a fiendish boar:twisted:

notice to size diff

 

the druid in pics is 5ft talk fyi so its correct, they really are large!!!

(per standard un adjusted sizes in manual)

normal pig 4ft long 3 ft tall
boar 4-5ft 3-3.5ft tall
dire boar 8ft long 5ft tall


The monster manual says they can get as big as 16 ft in length by hitdice advancement thats at 17-21 HD range ouch! (huge size), this dire boar is the stock standard average base 7-15 HD range (large size) ( 7d8+21 or 8 HD) or in the bottom of the 8-16ft large range.


all interesting facts


its amazing how much fudging trokia did to this game when ya go though all the monsters most are hugely weakened with odd challenge ratings and some are boosted all crazyly and with wrong skills stats and hpts lol.

 

Thanks, I'll send you my current work in progress files when I get home (I'm at work ATM). From your pictures it looks excellent.
