Spolier Questions: Livonya's Mod

artifact quests? there's artifact quests? what artifact quests?

 

I'm having a lot of fun with your mod, Liv. However, I think I have a few issues for yah...

I've heard talk about kids on the maps... but i've yet to see any. Reading through this thread (jeezus it's long...) I'm assuming it's because i've installed the maps folders incorrectly, yet i've double checked the instructions and I can't seem to figure out what I did wrong. Can someone give me a detailed step by step on installing the maps folders so i can make sure?

With the mod i've noticed my monk characters are having a hell of a hard time. Majority of the time they have 10%, 20%, or 25% chance to hit (Usually with Flurry of Blows on) just regular opponents like skeletons or bugbears. Stats are decent, it just seems a little skewed to me. No biggie though. Another thing that is bugging me though, i've noticed that skeletons and zombies are having damage resistance against my monk attacks. I looked at the combat log and it appears it's counting the monk's bare fisted attacks as slashing. The zombies i were fighting in the moathouse say they're resistant (5/slashing) ... bare fisted should be bludgeoning. I've kept my monk around but so far she's developed as nothing more than a decoy and is pretty much useless in most combat. (Which baffles me, her stats are all well above average).

I'm not sure if this is anything you can fix, but the AI will sometimes be real single-minded. During the fight in the swamps with the Frog King (Near the hag and giant gar), the Frog King decided to attack my level 2 wiz/2 ranger. A decent choice for a target, considering she's all about range and literally wears no armor. Well, he ran up to her, so i quickly moved her away, to the far side of the battle behind a line of my meleers. The Frog King continued to chase after her, running around my melee fighters and taking AoO. He refused to stop pursuing her, yet never got within range to attack her (I just kept moving her around the battlefield to get away from him) and practically killed the frog with AoO's. There should be some way of having the AI retarget if they're not able to attack their primary target within so many rounds. Not sure if this is possible, but just thought i'd mention it.

Lastly, i never noticed this before now so i have no idea what version, mod, or patch this is from, but i've noticed that on the bar in the Welcome Wench Inn in Hommlet, in front of the innkeeper, is an open book that you can highlight. Every time i try to click on the book, the game crashes out.

 

open liv's mod
open maps folder
highlight all maps
copy all maps
press extract all files
browse to Temple of Elemental Evil/modules/maps (should be in program files)
open above folder
delete wierd files already there
paste maps into folder
close

i think that's it.
i don't think i missed anything, i hope you understand it.
good luck with that.

 

When i met herdrak(?) my level 8 druid had summoned 4 brown bears + his anmial companion was a brown bear. i then enter from the north (i came from the throne room) and all hedraks henchmens attack. while they fought herdrak startede to cast boost spells on himself. That was ok but after he had cast the boost spells hid didn´t attack. he just cast som weak spells (don´t know what he cast but it was around 15 damage) . Even when i closede in on him after having killed all the giants he still cast those spells. I think herdrak should instead have attack after spell res and rightous might

Also if my druid is in anmial shape his speed changes to 5!! and if he has longstider he has 10! It only happens if i wildshape before combat. if i wild shape in combat my speed will be normal in that combat bu in the next the speed will be slow.

Also i noticede when i cast anmial growth on my 4 summon brown bears and my animal companion that they gainede damage reduction (10 i think bu bam not sure) I tought that i by mistake workede like rightous might.

I like that spell casters cast the spells more inteligently now. but i think hedrak should fight more then he did

My friend told me that hedrak was supposede to invoke his god. Is that true?? cos he never did when i met him

 

AHAHAHAHA!! I'm such a retard...

Ohhh man, by actually seeing the steps written explicitly like that it finally dawned on me what I had so moronically overlooked. I was obliviously deleting the wierd files AFTER i copied the maps folder over, I was just bieng lame and not realizing what I was doing. Thanks for that.

 

This means that a slashing weapon is needed to penetrate the DR, not that it's resistant against slashing. The game should tell you in the roll screen what type of damage various attacks count as.

 

Ahhh ok that explains it. I could have sworn zombies were in the same boat as skeletons in that they were resistant to all but bludgeoning, my mistake for assuming. Thanks.

As for the maps, i've reinstalled them the proper way but still see no change to the game. Will i only see the changes if i start a new game once their installed, and not an existing save?

 

I think you misunderstand, Liv's 1.5 mod was already installed, i just had put the map folders in wrong. I started up a game, and it wasn't until halfway through it that i've noticed from posts here on the forum that my map files weren't working as they should.

I beleive i've fixed it, but see no change to my current game. I'm assuming I'll only see the new maps if I start a new game, just askin for comfirmation from someone on this, or if i should see the changes on my current game and i've just screwed up on the map files AGAIN.

 

It has been at least 125 days since I completed the Cure Ami quest and the Woodcutter still hasn't heard from his relative. I completed the Cure Ami quest before completely cleaning the Moathouse, and now I have cleared all 4 levels of the temple and am now clearing my 3rd node, plus I have rested for 125 days just trying to get this to work. And still no merchant. Any ideas anyone?

 

I ran into this. Uninstalled and re-installed all of the patches and mods, made sure that the maps from Liv's mod were in the right place, started a new game, and it worked. Had to wait 28 days.

 

I just seem to be having all kinds of problems this week...

Ok, I started a completely new game and decided to try something new. I've *always* used rogues and *never* used bards before, so i decided to go rogueless, and replace him with a bard and try new things, eh?

It's been fun so far, bit of a hassle getting around some trapped and locked stuff but i tossed my wizard a knock spell and things have been doing better. However, now i've run into a possible roadblock with Liv's mod. Usually I always discover Nulb's location on the map from Lareth or his journal. This time around I let Lareth live and get away (I wanted to see the new Lareth quest i've read about) and picked up the book... and forgot about it bieng locked shut. I can't cast a Knock spell on it. Is there another way to discover Nulb? If not, I think there should be an alternative way of discovering Nulb implimented in Liv's mod, or to just remove the lock.

Please tell me i'm just overlooking another way to discover Nulb?

 

Many townsfolk can suggest going to Nulb, including the jewler. Ask around.

 

Much thanks!

For some reason i could not for the life of me find any other way to Nulb, or anyone who knew of it in Hommlet. Glad there's other ways than that book. I guess i've depended on it too much for Nulb.

 

Found a big bug.

First time running through the new quest for Lareth. I let him go (After extorting his gold chain from him). I visited the Guard tower and told the soldiers there that i would find Lareth for them, and now i've been asking around Hommlet for him.

I've come to Rommus and Gremag. Rommus says nothing about Lareth, but when i speak to Gremag it opens up the dialog box with two options that are identical of me asking for Lareth. Clicking on either one crashes to desktop. It happens every time.
