Salamanders and Giants and Gnolls (Oh My!)

Unfortunately, it is more than just python code. I had to make it a spell in order to make use of the game's targeting function, so it includes 2 .mes files, a .txt file, and a proto for the wand itself.

 

I've put up my not-even-beta fixes for the inventory and other issues in a new thread. Most of it is untested as of yet. I'm starting a test run, but I'm looking for a few other people to test it too.

Look here for the details.

 

I'm nearing the "final" version of my protos.tab overhaul. I still need to go through and match the Bugbear models to the armor they're going to be wearing (which is going to be an involved process) so Heat Metal and the like will work correctly and I want to tweak the Giant Frogs some more so they're back to CR 1. I was going upload what I had so far, but just the protos.tab zips up to being 101kb, which means I can't upload it. Which is just as well, I suppose. I can try to fix the frogs over lunch tomorrow.

I'm just going to be away on a long weekend and I didn't want to be sitting on the latest stuff for that long, especially in light of CB completing his work getting my fixes to work properly.

 

Just a thought from my work on the new summoning threads - to do all of the Summon Nature's Ally spells we need all three grades of salamander (flamebrother, salamander, noble salamander) - as the 'standard' salamaner will need re-instating (Protos.tab ID TBA) anyway, it might be worth replacing some of the existing flamebrothers and/or noble salamanders with salamanders to give a mix of all three types.

I can stat up a "normal" salamander no problem, though actually integrating them into that encounter would have to be done by someone else, as it's beyond my abilities.

 

I bet you all had thought I had forgotten about this.

Well, THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER!!!

Yes, here it is, the completed MOB fix for Kalshane's Proto and Inventory Fixes.

I have incorporated all Kalshane's fixes, plus a few new fixes of my own:

- Fixed the dialog (both in the .dlg and .py files) for the Sober Elmo patch so the DH dialogs now work.

- Fixed the KOS scripts for Temple Robes so that now you actually have to be wearing them rather than just have them in your inventory for critters not to attack you on site.

- Removed the "destroy\respawn gnolls" parts of a few other scripts that had originally been implemented to remove the gnolls damage reduction. Since I removed this in the MOBs, these parts of the scripts were no longer necessary.

- Tweaked the Summon Familiar and Familiar Death scripts. (No, this does not fix the incorrect CON loss on familiar death - it will take me a while longer to implement the correct XP loss)

- Tweaked the Animate Dead spell so that now Iuz and the various other casters that use this spell will not animate fallen party members.

- Threw in a few proto and description entries Ted asked me to include for the new Cleric NPC and the Vampire.

- Included Allyx's potion fixes, so that now potions work correctly for NPCs (i.e the Bulls Strength potions will now last more than one round for the bugbears)

- Lastly, I've included the Wands of Infatuation and Enslavement and there associated spells, purely as testing and educational tools for all you modders out there.

So, without further ado, here it is: C-Blues_MOBS_for_Kalshanes_Fixes.rar

To use it just load the module you wish to install it to, then unzip it into your ToEE root directory.

 

Uh Hmmm...This explains your (relative) silence of late;You've been hard at work! Keep this up, and you'll get a "good" reputation! :yikes:

 

Ok, I am officially bummed out.
-> Darmagon Spell Fixes protos is 1194 KB.
-> Blue+Kalshanes+Allyxs D&D 3.5 Rules & MOB Fixes protos is 1217 KB.
*sigh*
We sure could use an import protos changes and make new protos.tab proggie.
*grumble* (pounds fists on desk)

 

For someone who supposedly has broadband, you sure do whine about file size a lot. Cry me a river.

 

@gaear: nod

Has Darmagon made any changes to his protos.tab file since Blue started working on the version he has been using, ie., are there discrepancies between the two versions of protos.tab file [not just the new changes Blue has made to it]?
