New spells

Thankee, Ted!

(And I've been occupied with certain other projects as of late, like applying for employment stuff.)

I thought about making a new thread and then I saw this one. I've been looking through ToEE assets lately and I'm seeing a number of partsys and sounds that are there that are not being used in game. Particularly ones for spells that aren't implemented. I would like to get a list of such spells that were scrapped from vanilla toee to the point that we still have available assets to use for them, or even just spells that should have been in the base game but aren't. The hopes are that they could eventually be implemented into the game.

I'll start;
Rainbow Pattern
Pyrotechnics

Both of these have sounds and partsys existing, which look utterly fantastic by the way. Also, the spells themselves defined in the SRD are quite fun sounding and would be nice additions to the game. Pyrotechnics if implemented would probably be changed so you could just select any location to spawn it instead of a fire source. Not sure how the rainbow pattern would work since you can make the spell location move every turn.

 

There are plenty of fire sources that would be appropriate targets for Pyrotechnics in the game. I think that restriction should stay. It's a pretty niche spell, really.

 

The problem with that is that AFAIK, what constitutes a "fire source" is just a permanent partsys that was spawned onto the map. I have no way of identifying these to make them selectable like I would critters or areas with spell selection.

 

Rainbow blast is an official spell.

 

Bummer that Winston...
