Callirgos Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Could someone explain fire resistance and magic fire resistance ? It's not like BGII, these seem like actual numbers instead of a percentage. Also I noticed two odd numbers in various resistance fields; 108, -128 Do these have a special function? Link to comment
lynx Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 AFAIK all resistances in iwd2 are like damage soaking/reduction, just without the enchantment level (as there is none). Magic fire and magic cold are separate damage types, but in some cases caused crashes in bg2, so I don't think they are used much if at all. Maybe that was fixed in iwd2 though. Link to comment
Callirgos Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 It would be really great if there was a database or spreadsheet that cataloged damage types used by specific cre and itm Link to comment
Callirgos Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I did a cursory check on spells and weapons. I didn't see magic fire or magic cold damage type used. Maybe it's completely an artifact. Though looking at the damage resistances it looks like there was a guideline for somekind of relationship between fire damage and magic fire damage. I guess it wasn't cut in preproduction.

IIRC the BG2 issue with magic cold and magic fire was that the damage works fine, but the game crashes if a creature dies from magic fire/cold. You'll find a few items that provide resistance to magic fire/cold damage, but nothing should actually be causing it. I've no idea what the situation for IWD2 is. Link to comment
Avenger Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Magic fire/cold is safe to use in iwd2, though it is unused. For catalogue or spreadsheet, use dltcep's search item function, with opcode 12, feed it into an excel sheet and massage it with macros. Sample output: SGRASP3 Found opcode HP: Damage [12] (4 262144) in feature block #1 of extended header #1 SGRASP4 Found opcode HP: Damage [12] (4 262144) in feature block #1 of extended header #1 SGRASP5 Found opcode HP: Damage [12] (4 262144) in feature block #1 of extended header #1 Link to comment
