Cold-Acid Flail of Ages BAM correction

[Grim Squeaker]

The Cold-Acid flail incorrectly uses the Fire-Cold flail's graphics when correct ones do actually exist.

 

COPY_EXISTING ~blun14e.itm~ ~override/blun14e.itm~ //Cold-Acid Flail of Ages
       WRITE_ASCII 0x3a ~IBLUN14E~
       WRITE_ASCII 0x58 ~CBLUN14E~
       WRITE_ASCII 0x76 ~IBLUN14E~

 

This is a mistake I noticed while coding PoA material. In PoA I also adjust the lower Flail of Ages names to be 'Flail of Ages +1' and 'Flail of Ages +2' rather than just 'Flail of Ages', as the +3, +4 and +5 versions say the enchantment in the name. If this is considered a general fix then I can post my code for it as well.

 

Edit: Added the weapon icon.

 

Edit #2: Code for adding enchantment levels to FoA +1 and +2 is as follows, if you want it (assuming I've got string concat correct - #38609 is the stringref ~Flail of Ages~).

 

COPY_EXISTING ~blun14g.itm~ ~override/blun14g.itm~
              ~blun14h.itm~ ~override/blun14h.itm~
              ~blun14i.itm~ ~override/blun14i.itm~
       SAY NAME2 #38609 ^ ~+1~ 

COPY_EXISTING ~blun14d.itm~ ~override/blun14d.itm~
              ~blun14e.itm~ ~override/blun14e.itm~
              ~blun14f.itm~ ~override/blun14f.itm~
       SAY NAME2 #38609 ^ ~+2~

 

Though you'd want to move the blun14e.itm one into the above code so its more efficient.

i.e.

 

COPY_EXISTING ~blun14g.itm~ ~override/blun14g.itm~
              ~blun14h.itm~ ~override/blun14h.itm~
              ~blun14i.itm~ ~override/blun14i.itm~
       SAY NAME2 #38609 ^ ~+1~ 

COPY_EXISTING ~blun14d.itm~ ~override/blun14d.itm~
              ~blun14f.itm~ ~override/blun14f.itm~
       SAY NAME2 #38609 ^ ~+2~        

COPY_EXISTING ~blun14e.itm~ ~override/blun14e.itm~ //Cold-Acid Flail of Ages
       SAY NAME2 #38609 ^ ~+2~       
       WRITE_ASCII 0x3a ~IBLUN14E~
       WRITE_ASCII 0x58 ~CBLUN14E~
       WRITE_ASCII 0x76 ~IBLUN14E~

I'd consider the text changes a fix, yes. Does the Baldurdash text update note the enchanment of every item in its description?

[CamDawg]

It tries to for the ambiguous ones, such as Daystar and Equalizer. Otherwise I believe it does not.

[SimDing0]

Hmm. I reckon it should, but eh.

Wouldn't these need to be patched in the part of the file dealing with the attack, too? Else you'd get the right IXXX.BAM in the inventory but the old, wrong one in the quickslot in the main game screen.

Cxxx is the pretty picture one. Ixxx is the 'drag around your inventory' and the 'in your weapon slot' picture. So its already sorted.

I think Andry was inquiring in if attack icon, in the extension header, matches the inventory icon.

Whoops. I missed that. I shall update the code this evening when I get back to Edinburgh.

[Andyr]

That's what I meant, yeh. Enjoy the train journey - how many hours?!?!?

[Grim Squeaker]

K, fixed the above code to include the weapon icon and optional enchantment level code.

 

Train journey wasn't too bad but 4 3/4 hours is a long time...

[CamDawg]

Coded. Took a slightly different approach in that I redefined #38609 to be Flail of Ages +1 and then added a new Flail of Ages +2.
