CamDawg Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Just a quick progress report to let everyone know what's happening with the next build of Cleric Remix. Thanks to a couple of previously unknown flags in the SPL files, the customization of clerical spellbooks got a lot easier and we've been able to replace some of our hacky workarounds with seamless, solid coding. The bug reports from v0.8.4 have been fixed: Watchers of Helm now have proper sphere restrictions, the Viconia and Branwen kits are now checking for correct components, Branwen no longer has her sling proficiency if kitted, and it looks like the spell memorization bug is fixed--BevH had this problem and has not experienced it with the build-in-progress. We've also added new content for the next release as well. The Painbearer of Ilmater kit has been added, and Andyr's wrapping up the Firewalker of Kossuth. We are also tryig to get the Lorekeeper of Oghma and Authlim of Xvim kits added as well. We've had requests for more new spells which we're working on as well. These may not be in the next released build, but they're being added. Ingame clerics (including ones added by mods) are also getting their spellbooks and memorized spells adjusted on the fly, so they have the same restrictions as player-controlled clerics. We've also implemented alignment restrictions on spell pairs (Holy Smite/Unholy Blight, Holy Word/Unholy Word) as appropriate. Link to comment
SimDing0 Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 As I mentionned in chat, a few dialogue alterations in the Temples so that a cleric of Shar isn't treated as if he/she worships Talos, and so on, might be in order. Link to comment
Galactygon Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 You should also remember correcting the spell, 'Curse', since it makes the game freeze (the reasons are given in the thread named 'Nice work'). I thought I might point it out, hence it's not on the list. -Galactygon Link to comment
Andyr Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Thanks for that. Sim's also requested Static Charge. Link to comment
SimDing0 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I request pretty much all the IWD cleric/druid spells, but that's probably not too helpful. Especially as they'd all need icons. But yeh, Static Charge would be very nice. Link to comment
Galactygon Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 But yeh, Static Charge would be very nice. It's quite hard to implement a new call lightning -type spell in BG2. -Galactygon Link to comment
Guest Chev Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Static Charge is in TDD, can you use that one? Link to comment

It reminds me that I failed to mention we're adding reversible spells from the existing ones where possible, such as Protection from Good. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Static Charge is in TDD, can you use that one? That is not advised. Ahem. -Galactygon Link to comment
SimDing0 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 You mean it's hard to make it target a random person in the area? Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I believe so. On the contrary I might have already made that spell months ago so it should be possible... -Galactygon (unloghed) Link to comment
Andyr Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 What does Static Charge actually do? My memory may be failing but I thought it was essentially a ightning - based Fireball or Sunfire. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Call Lighting indoors is the short answer. Link to comment
SnowKing Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Is it possible to post a preview for the Priests of Oghma and Ilmater for us. We'd be very grateful (and keep up the good work!) SK Link to comment
jester Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Executioners eyes anyone? One of my favourite Cleric Domain spells and Oghma's followers got them in IWD2. Link to comment
