Guest kokocu Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 hi, first of all, i wanted to say thanks for the mod. i enjoy it very much, except some mage battles. i have some issues: * is there a way to prevent mages use too much contigency? mages do, first sight: contigency, stoneskin finished: contigency, pfmw ended: contigency, have-nothing-to-do-because-party-wiped: contigency...... i listed them just after tolgerias showed me how many contigency he can cast (and he casts them even he had full hp). i ask something about preventing them using contigency that much (during installation modification/option maybe or by setting a global variable). i also remember them casting spell trigger/sequencer a few times (are not they one-until-cast spells, more than one impossible?) * in some mage battles breach/pierce magic do nothing. i suspect they have casted immunity-abjuration but i dont see them casting it in the log. can they cast it before battle and not show it on log? i can understand breach didnot work because fireshield is still there and there is no spell turning left (will there still a spell turning left after 4 breach?). * is there a way to lower mage levels (during installation maybe)? i checked a few mages using shadowkeeper and saw many mages which you encounter in chapter2 are lvl 20+. and their dispel magic way too powerful just because of lvl difference, this makes my party pretty naked:) * what is the tactic vs immunity: abjuration dispel doesnot work because my mage would be too low lvl if they look like compaints, sorry. didnot mean to complain about mod, mod is probably for pro-gamers, not for me. i just want to modify it a bit according to my playstyle. sorry if someone else mentioned about them in another thread. got to go, need to slay tolgerias...... thanks Link to comment
DavidW Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 * is there a way to prevent mages use too much contigency? mages do, first sight: contigency, stoneskin finished: contigency, pfmw ended: contigency, have-nothing-to-do-because-party-wiped: contigency...... i listed them just after tolgerias showed me how many contigency he can cast (and he casts them even he had full hp). i ask something about preventing them using contigency that much (during installation modification/option maybe or by setting a global variable). I'm reasonably sure I use only one Contingency, and one Chain Contingency, per mage. If you think that's not the case, details would be very useful. (Screen shots, ideally.) i also remember them casting spell trigger/sequencer a few times (are not they one-until-cast spells, more than one impossible?) Likewise, I'm reasonably sure each mage uses only one trigger of each kind. Let me know, with details, if you think that's not happening. * in some mage battles breach/pierce magic do nothing. i suspect they have casted immunity-abjuration but i dont see them casting it in the log. can they cast it before battle and not show it on log? i can understand breach didnot work because fireshield is still there and there is no spell turning left (will there still a spell turning left after 4 breach?). No, castings all show up in the log. I suspect there's a level of magic protection you're not noticing. (Tip: using multiple Breaches is not a good way to clear magical defences. Use Ruby Ray etc instead.) * is there a way to lower mage levels (during installation maybe)? i checked a few mages using shadowkeeper and saw many mages which you encounter in chapter2 are lvl 20+. and their dispel magic way too powerful just because of lvl difference, this makes my party pretty naked:) There's no direct way. It's canonical that many SoA mages are much higher level than the party. If you want to Shadowkeeper them down a few levels, be my guest. Or if you know the filename for the mage(s) in question, edit scsii/mage/level_override.2da (the format should be self-explanatory) * what is the tactic vs immunity: abjuration dispel doesnot work because my mage would be too low lvl Ruby Ray/Warding Whip/Secret Word is probably the way to go. if they look like compaints, sorry. didnot mean to complain about mod, mod is probably for pro-gamers, not for me. i just want to modify it a bit according to my playstyle. That's fine, I wasn't taking them as complaints. Modify as much as you like. got to go, need to slay tolgerias...... Good luck! Link to comment
Guest kokocu Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 thanks for answers, #1 contigency question is ok, i confused trigger/sequencer/contigencies and thought they were all contigencies. one thing i want to ask about contigencies is: mages cast contigency when i breach/pierce their protections. is there a contigency condition like that? what is it that i can use? some screenshots to explain it more clear: <- this one might be enemy-sighted contigency maybe, not sure though because it gave me time to cast breach on the yuantimage, btw yuantimage is uninjured <- no idea about condition #2 i really saw some cases where breach does nothing and i do not see any spell protection (no spell turning/deflection and no immunity spell) in log. is there a way that i can export game log to a file? screenshots will probably give no hint because it requires too many screenshots. i will try to get some ss. #3 about mage levels that is ok #4 about immune:abjuration it works, but now they cast immune:divination:D thanks Link to comment
