Smigmal FIXED!

Another of the games most annoying bugs, bites the dust! Yes SMIGMAL REDHAND will no longer be invisable or untargetable if you are unable to beat her in 3 rounds!

Just unzip the file below into your ToEE folder.

 

I gotta give credit where it's due, I spoke to Cerulean the Blue on the IRC, and later talked with Shiningted this morning who suggested I look at Mickeys script and .mob file - to see how it was flagged, I took all day working it out for a similar re-appearing act (for a mod I've been working on), then Cujo suggested I try the same for Smigmal, well what do you know it worked!

The dialogue file just adds some spell eyecandy to account for Smigmal's (now) sudden disapearance, and is not neccesary to make the fix work (but it makes more sence), but re-appearance of Smigmal now works perfectly.

 

Certainly (ted asked for a tutorial as well), when I eventually found Micky's .mob file (in the brewery) I tried opening it in WB, now it's not fully supported so it doesn't actually open, but the first tab does display. He was flagged (in the .mob file) as....

Object flags:
OF_SEE_THROUGH
OF_SHOOT_THROUGH
OF_PROVIDES_COVER
OF_SET HEIGHT
OF_RADIUS_SET

Now when I saw SEE_THROUGH I thought it was really odd, that would make him invisable. So I checked his script, sure enough at the bottom of his heartbeat script, there's a reference to is_daytime a map number and setting and unsetting something called OF_OFF - that is Object Flags_OFF (Thanks Cerulean for that info), his script turned on and off the object flags tab from the ToEEWB window!

Cujo asked if it would work with Smigmal, and I took a look at it...
Smigmal had the unset OF_OFF for her reappearance, but the disapearance must have been changed to a runoff command at a late stage in the development (Runoff looks nicer than sudden disappearance), so I changeed the runoff command to set OF_OFF and added spell particles for Invisibility to her diaogue (doesn't fit properly, but it works for me) to give a hint at a reason for her disappearance.

 

Damn good thinking Allyx, and handy to know too
