Okay here it is, the new spell zip

For my problem, it's something which isn't hooking up between the casting animation showing the wizard's hands glowing and then what should happen after that. Might be something my end, so not worth going on a big bug hunt unless someone else can replicate or reports the same problem.

edit: and it seems that I have forgotten to say this in my initial post to this thread - bloody good work Darmagon.

 

Yeah the file for the delayed blast is in the modules/ToEE directory which is the default directory when working with files in the scripts.

Could you re-download the zip again, Agetian. I made some changes after the last notification but got called away before I could post to let everyone know.

In fact could everyone redownload just to make sure we are all on the same page. Sorry to be such a pain. The time is now 4:33 pm GMT friday december 2, 2005

Agetian, I am going to do some testing to see if I can get the spell_object to stickk around. Will get back to you later.

Had actually tested this a long time ago with a some wands. Added the wands to the full inventory nothing showed in inventory but I could use the wands just fine on the radial menu. As far as I can tell there is no limit to the number of things you can add to the inventory but you will only be able to see 24 at a time.

>>Agetian:

did you do a map change in between casting Tenser's Transformation and resting to clear the spell? I am so doltish I did not even think of trying this before. The game must lose track of the spell object on a map change so that it doesn't get passed properly to the destroy function. Actually, on second thought this may not be your problem as you said that only the beneficial aspects of the spell go away. Are you sure of this? I used a three step process in Tenser's Transformation to a get all of the effects I needed. First I changed the weapon type of the weapon wielded by the spell caster to Quarter staff so the caster would have proficiency (I did not include this info in my documentation because, again I am too doltish and forgot). Second I applied the spell Divine power to get the base attack bonus. And third I used the spell object to apply the other things needed by the spell (oh I also applied damage to the spell caster to get rid of temp. hp granted by Divine power. so a 4 step process really).

The spell object does the following things: increases dex and con by 4, decreases str by 2 because divine power gives too big a bonus, applies feeblemind to take away spell casting ability, increases will and reflexlsaves by 4 because feeblemind, stupidly, decreases saves by for 4 , increases fort save by 9 to offset the feeblemind effect and to get the proper save granted (+5) by the spell, and increases natural armor by 4

I am including this list so you can check to see how things add up for you after the spell is supposed to have expired. I am pretty sure that a map change or something that causes the game to lose info in a similar fashion (although what that may be i haven't a clue), is your problem. If it is then I think I have a fairly simple fix. If not then I am not sure and it may be back to the drawing board.

Sorry for this but it seems strange to me that a game save, with its potential for data loss of things not specifically allowed for in the game should preserve my hacks and a map change doesn't. Obviously, the game is doing something I don't understand on a map change. which is why I say I 'think' I have a fairly simple fix. but am not certain.

Anyway if you could check that out for me I would be most appreciative.

Thanks for that info Agetian. That gives me some ideas....

EDIT: Agetian, before I waste a lot of time acting on those ideas, does that mean you know how to get access to the inventory from a script?

>>Agetian

You rest on the shopmap? So you are doing a map change then?

Darmagon

 

Is it possible that the shopmap has something different about it that would make the spell act in this way?(I know I am grasping at straws here.) could you do a test on another map to see if you get the same result?

Darmagon

P.S: for now, until I get things sorted out please everyone do not use delayed blast fireball, mordenkainens sword, tenser's transformation, or analyze dweomer and then change maps while the spells are still in effect if you want to save the game afterwards. If you have already done so I can write a script that will destroy the spell objects, useable from the console. Please let me know.

 

Okay, I have tried just about everything else I can think of to get this effect and the only thing I can find is the map change. I haven't the energy right now, nor the mental focus to try to get a handle on this. I am going to get some sleep, deal with my real world stuff and then I will get back on this. If you guys can find anything in the meantime, that would be a blessing. G'night all. I'll be back probably tomorrow (from my perspective) sometime.
