CamDawg Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 This is a trio of threads in which I'm breaking down devSin's fixpack into three areas--stuff not included, stuff included, and stuff I can't figure out how/why it's doing. I'll admit, some of this I'm just being lazy since it means I'd need to open a bunch of files and see exactly what's being changed. devSin, feel free to hop in and comment on any/all of this thread. Please. // adds new messages to game window for eff files APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~129 AID 17408~ UNLESS ~^129\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~130 BLESS 17408~ UNLESS ~^130\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~74 BLINDNESS 1474~ UNLESS ~^74\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~65 BLUR 14062~ UNLESS ~^65\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~60 CASTING_FAILURE 12930~ UNLESS ~^60\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~57 CHANGE_ALIGNMENT 14055~ UNLESS ~^57\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~131 CHANT 17408~ UNLESS ~^131\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~6 CHARISMA_MODIFICATION 14034~ UNLESS ~^6\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~5 CHARM_CREATURE 1476~ UNLESS ~^5\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~128 CONFUSION 14782~ UNLESS ~^128\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~10 CONSTITUTION_MODIFICATION 14029~ UNLESS ~^10\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~75 CURE_BLINDNESS 2380~ UNLESS ~^75\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~81 CURE_DEAFNESS 2380~ UNLESS ~^81\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~79 CURE_DISEASE 2449~ UNLESS ~^79\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~80 DEAFNESS 46432~ UNLESS ~^80\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~166 DETECT_INVISIBLE 14109~ UNLESS ~^166\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~15 DEXTERITY_MODIFICATION 14024~ UNLESS ~^15\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~78 DISEASE 54337~ UNLESS ~^78\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~58 DISPEL_EFFECTS 14056~ UNLESS ~^58\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~154 ENTANGLE_OVERLAY 334~ UNLESS ~^154\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~76 FEEBLEMINDEDNESS 23744~ UNLESS ~^76\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~16 HASTE 14023~ UNLESS ~^16\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~109 HOLD_CREATURE 340~ UNLESS ~^109\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~175 HOLD_CREATURE_TYPE 340~ UNLESS ~^175\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~211 IMPRISONMENT 34636~ UNLESS ~^211\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~63 INFRAVISION 14060~ UNLESS ~^63\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~19 INTELLIGENCE_MODIFICATION 14021~ UNLESS ~^19\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~20 INVISIBILITY 396~ UNLESS ~^20\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~18 MAXIMUM_HP_BONUS 13999~ UNLESS ~^18\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~213 MAZE 8298~ UNLESS ~^213\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~119 MIRROR_IMAGE 14774~ UNLESS ~^119\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~69 NON-DETECTION 14777~ UNLESS ~^69\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~24 PANIC 38866~ UNLESS ~^24\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~236 PROJECT_IMAGE 60481~ UNLESS ~^236\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~98 REGENERATION 8313~ UNLESS ~^98\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~221 REMOVE_SPELL_PROTECTIONS 40690~ UNLESS ~^221\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~230 REMOVE_MAGIC_PROTECTIONS 40690~ UNLESS ~^230\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~71 SEX_CHANGE 14068~ UNLESS ~^71\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~38 SILENCE 14676~ UNLESS ~^38\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~40 SLOW 335~ UNLESS ~^40\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~218 STONESKIN 13005~ UNLESS ~^218\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~97 STRENGTH_EXTRA_MODIFICATION 14090~ UNLESS ~^97\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~44 STRENGTH_MODIFICATION 14042~ UNLESS ~^44\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~45 STUN 1280~ UNLESS ~^45\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~278 THAC0_BONUS1 14052~ UNLESS ~^278\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~54 THAC0_BONUS2 14052~ UNLESS ~^54\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~178 THAC0_VS_TYPE_BONUS 14052~ UNLESS ~^178\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~284 THACO_BONUS 14052~ UNLESS ~^284\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~48 VOCALIZE 14776~ UNLESS ~^48\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~157 WEB_OVERLAY 54331~ UNLESS ~^157\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~235 WING_BUFFET 72205~ UNLESS ~^235\b~ APPEND ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~49 WISDOM_MODIFICATION 14047~ UNLESS ~^49\b~ COPY_EXISTING ~EFFTEXT.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 2 3 ~14662~ BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES This appears to be adding text to EFFs.

devSin Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 The EFFTEXT update is my "solution" to "effects provide no visual feedback." Don't include it, as it is not a perfect solution (actually, too perfect, as the game will display a message for the effect, no matter where/when it's included). People will definitely be confused if they load a saved game and see "Cernd - Regenerating" when Cernd isn't even in the party. MXSPLPRS and MSXPLDRU have a duplicate row for level 30. Not really something that needs to be altered (the DRU duplicates are identical, but the priest is different). SNDRESREF is the issue where there's an environment sound effect applied to AR0700. You can either replace AR0700 with one that's already in the file (duplicate entries should be OK?), or use READ_2DA_ENTRY to make sure you're patching AR0700 and set it to GENERIC. XPLIST is the problem with the awarded experience for Gromnir when the PC is above level 37/38. The output isn't "pretty," but it should work for everyone (I don't think anybody is modifying XPLIST.2DA). As you noticed, AR0016 simply disables the traps in the tutorial area (they can't be disarmed and do nothing). Not really worth fixing. AR0202 is simply a flag change so that the door uses Gaal's key. Not worth fixing. AR0300 simply matches up the transition flags (so that NPCs can't enter a building they can't get out of). The first patch offset is wrong (oops!). Not a bug fix. AR0308 is more transistion flag stuff. Not a bug fix. AR0327 changes a chest in the "hostile" Shadow Thief guild (it couldn't be unlocked but didn't have a key). AR0329 changes a couple of door flags so they use their respective keys. Not a bug fix. AR0332 is not a bug fix. AR0335 is not a bug fix (it's a special trap script so the sleeping duds don't call the guards). The first change in AR0406 assigns a script to the sleeping dwarf in the lotus room so he's destroyed when Lehtinan is killed. Not really a bug fix. The second changes Yarin's table so the trap isn't already detected (this screws auto-pause settings, but is probably not really a "bug"). AR0407 is not a bug fix. AR0412 is not a bug fix. AR0414 changes the coordinates of the "demon eyes" animation so that it actually matches the tiles. It's not really a fix and, no, I never did manage to get the animation to work reliably (the eyes actually do open). AR0415 is an update to the paladin "safehouse" to remove the trap and fix the exit transition flags (it wasn't marked as party-required). Locally, I've changed it to the following to simply fix the trap: COPY_EXISTING ~AR0415.ARE~ ~OVERRIDE~ WRITE_ASCII 0x04cc ~CTALARM~ #8 WRITE_BYTE 0x028c 0x04 BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES AR0500 was a change so that two copies of Stanet (who's listed in the area definition twice) wouldn't be in the area at the same time. Probably not a bug fix. AR0510 changes the planar portal animation to match the tiles (a Baldurdash "bug" report). AR0516 (the astral prison) had incorrect data for it's rest spawns (it has the number of creatures listed as 2, but didn't have any creatures actually listed). The title of the spawn was ELAIR, so I added some elementals. This probably isn't a bug fix. AR0529 is a fix to the stupid slime trap in Neb's shanty (I set the detection difficulty to 50, from 0, and the disarm difficulty to 90, from 100). AR0602 changes the flags of the Long Sword +1 so that it's found unidentified. Not a bug fix. AR0603 I've since changed locally; it's not a bug fix. AR0700 is probably not a bug fix (it changes the guard for the north exit so he isn't a "I saw you enter with those people..." guard). AR0701 makes it so the mind flayer door uses Tazok's sewer key. AR0801, AR0803, and AR0808 change some containers so that their traps aren't already detected (this screws up some auto-pause settings). Probably not worth fixing. AR0900 changes the times when the Shadow Thief is on the map (so that it's only there at night). AR0901 says goodbye to Festule's dumb potion. Not really a bug fix. AR0902 is not a bug fix (part of change so you can't get the statuette unless you're actually supposed to be stealing it for Mae'Var). AR1000 changes all the guards in the area to normal guards (more "I saw you enter with those people..." crap; they have good eyes, I guess). The last enables an included, but unscheduled, soundset. AR1002 is part of the change to make sure Ketlaar and his bodyguards are destroyed if you kill the Ketlaar that's part of the mage quest. AR1006 changes the unlockable chest in the Jysstev manor (it would give the standard "key" message, but has no matching key). AR1202 changes some of the doors here so they use their respective keys (the Chapel Key and Samia's Key). AR1303 changes a bad item reference in one of the chests in Nalia's Keep (upstairs). AR1401 is part of a change to get rid of Tombie's journal. The last patch makes the dragon door use the key (the symbol). Probably not a bug fix. AR2800 is not a bug fix. AR3000 corrects the coordinates for all of the transistions in this area. In most cases, straight copies should be David Gaider's Tougher Bhaalspawn stuff (definitely leave those out). There may be one or two that are in the patch list, the rest are all the COPY actions at the end of each section. All of IDS changes are cosmetic and/or unnecessary. The scripts all use numerical IDs, so there should be any need to add anything to the IDS files. There are a couple of places where I used HasItemEquipped() or CalendarDay(), but these should be easy to spot. Link to comment
SimDing0 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 There's a lot of stuff here that it'd be nice to see included as part of a "not bugfixes but pretty cool anyway" component. Link to comment
CamDawg Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yeah, I feel the majority of the changes for the areas should be included. The EFF-text stuff is very nifty and a good start for an optional "tweaks" section of the fixpack. At any rate, thanks for helping us sort all this out. Link to comment
SimDing0 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I think it'd be rather better to fix the effect text properly once and for all using C_E_R than to do optional solutions that almost-but-not-quite-work. Link to comment
devSin Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 AR1603 corrects the overlay for the weapon rack in this area. Updating overlays is tedious. Very tedious. AR1608 makes the door use Galvena's key. Not really a fix. AR1611 makes the secret door use the Guildhouse key. Not really a fix. AR1904 changes the current and destination positions for one of the trolls so it isn't on an impassable area. AR2000 changes transition flags (more NPC in/out stuff), re-enables an unused soundset, and marks the tomb to use the Trademeet Tomb Key. I've also marked the transition to Mazzy's house party-required. AR2002 removes a trap from the container in Mazzy's house (it couldn't be detected/disarmed, and had no trap script). Not worth fixing. AR2100 simply corrects the area music for the Underdark at night. AR2200 is not a bug fix (more NPC in/out stuff). AR2207 fixes an trap in Deirex's tower (detection to 50, from 0, and disarm to some suitably high number, from 100). I also re-enabled a trap (at 0x0388) - it had all the correct settings, but wasn't marked as trapped. AR2300 I think just makes the door use Sekolah's tooth. Not really a fix. AR2400 had a bunch of non-NUL junk in it's rest spawn list, so I changed it to stuff that looked right. It's not a fix (not to mention that it looks like I forgot to update the number of creatures value). AR2603 changes the transition flag so that exiting Coran's house isn't party required. The 0x48 patch is just a place where I neglected to consolidate (with the rest of the flag sets). AR2902 makes the transition party-required (all the trans in Hell are auto-saving, except for this one). AR3001 corrects the number of sounds in the ambient list. Not really worth fixing (although, if somebody does, it looks like I didn't update the number of sounds used value). AR3004 was a change so that the rest spawn creature was a normal demon, instead of a summoned one that gave 0 XP. Not really a fix. AR3010 changes an invalid CRE reference in the rest spawn creatures list. It was DERINI01 (I don't know if changing it is wise, however, as I don't know if Erinyes is a name or a type of demon). AR5006 changes the name of the trigger here (there were two SpiritAppear1 triggers) so that the ghost will face the right direction. May or may not be considered a fix. For community buffs, note that changes to ANISND seem to have no effect at all in-game. Additionally, there are a number of animations that don't have default sounds, as they're lacking the proper 2DA (the default sounds are determined solely by the presence of a 2DA that has the same "prefix" as the animation). Locally, I'm doing something like: COPY_EXISTING ~MAIR.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE/MWWE.2DA~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 2 ~Mwwe/water~ COPY_EXISTING ~MDJI.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE/MDJL.2DA~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 1 ~Mdjl/Djinni w legs~ COPY_EXISTING ~MGO1.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE/MGO3.2DA~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 4 ~MGO3~ COPY_EXISTING ~MGO2.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE/MGO4.2DA~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 4 ~MGO4~ COPY_EXISTING ~MLI2.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE/MLI3.2DA~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 5 ~MLI3~ COPY_EXISTING ~MMYC.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE/MMY2.2DA~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 2 ~MMY2~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 1 2 ~/myconid,blue/~ COPY_EXISTING ~MMYC.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE/MSHR.2DA~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 2 ~MSHR~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 1 2 ~/spore colony/~ COPY_EXISTING ~MOR2.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE/MOR4.2DA~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 4 ~MOR4~ COPY_EXISTING ~MSAL.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE/MSA2.2DA~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 2 ~MSA2~ COPY_EXISTING ~MSKA.2DA~ ~OVERRIDE/MSKT.2DA~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 0 0 2 ~MSKT~ Of all these, djinni with legs (and he knows how to use them) animation doesn't have the default djinni sounds, so may be considered a fix worthy of inclusion. Why do I change all the IDS files? Because I'm super-anal and can't stand bad spelling. Plus, I naturally write the names correctly, so I decided to fix all the names locally to reduce compilation hassles. I probably should have included the IDS updates in the stuff I ripped out for the download package. Oh well. The updates to DAMAGES, HAPPY, etc., simply add a header to the IDS files that start at line 0 (since WeiDU gladly ignores line 0, things like SLOT_AMULET wouldn't work). Not really an end-user fix, however. Locally, I do this now: COPY_EXISTING ~DAMAGES.IDS~ ~OVERRIDE~ ~HAPPY.IDS~ ~OVERRIDE~ ~SLOTS.IDS~ ~OVERRIDE~ ~SOUNDOFF.IDS~ ~OVERRIDE~ ~STATE.IDS~ ~OVERRIDE~ INSERT_FILE 0x00 ~AE7B50A8475765901B560BE1723152F7~ BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES Where the file to insert is an inlined file consisting of "IDS V1.0" followed by a DOS line break. I wanted to get even more specific with GTIMES, but WeiDU sucks and won't let IDS entries start with numbers (so, I'd have to do something like TWELVE_SECONDS, TWENTY_FOUR_SECONDS, THIRTY_SIX_SECONDS, etc., instead of 12_SECONDS). I don't change GTIMES at all anymore, however, as WeiDU resolves trigger and action lists in dialogues it compiles (so, a SetGlobalTimer("","",1) would compile as SetGlobalTimer("","",TWELVE_SECONDS), which I don't like - the dialogue wouldn't work if you didn't have the updated IDS, and it doesn't look very kosher, besides). Locally, I have a lot of changes to the music stuff to get it all to work (who the hell was in charge of this crap?), most of which isn't included in the version online. The following may be a good fix: COPY_EXISTING ~MUSIC/HARP_V2.MUS~ ~MUSIC~ SET_2DA_ENTRY 6 0 1 ~1C~ // the current entry, C (HARP_V2C.ACM), doesn't exist BUT_ONLY_IF_IT_CHANGES The piece isn't that stirring, but it's likely nobody's ever heard it before and it is supposed to be played (like MXKALAH, MXKHALI, MXTHIEF, TAV1, and TAV2).

devSin Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I think it'd be rather better to fix the effect text properly once and for all using C_E_R than to do optional solutions that almost-but-not-quite-work.Oh, it works, I promise. It just works too well. The message is handled by the engine, when the effect is applied, so it will display the right message as soon as the effect goes into action. If the effect never gets applied, then there aren't any messages (and no need to add a bunch of "Disable Display String" effects). The fat problem is that it will occur for all creatures that are loaded, as soon as there effects are applied. So there's no guessing about who's spawning in or what effects the CREs in the .GAM file have, as you'll get messages about each supported effect. Anyway, I agree that the appropriate thing to do is to add Display String effects (and corresponding Disable Display String, and Add Portrait Icon, and Remove Portrait Icon) to the items and spells as needed, but I already had too much stuff to tweak and I simply couldn't find the motivation to do it myself. It actually wouldn't be that hard (you just need code to iterate through the effects and add new effects where necessary), but it's a job for somebody else. Link to comment
Kish Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 AR0701 makes it so the mind flayer door uses Tazok's sewer key. AR0900 changes the times when the Shadow Thief is on the map (so that it's only there at night). AR1006 changes the unlockable chest in the Jysstev manor (it would give the standard "key" message, but has no matching key). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are these bugfixes? As far as I know, the mind flayer door already uses Tazok's sewer key--and there's a big difference between, "This chest will only open for a specific key," and, "This chest will only open for a specific key, which you are guaranteed a chance to get." Link to comment
devSin Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 When I say "uses" I mean the flag that destroys the key once the doors are unlocked. So it will only open for Tazok's key, but the key will be destroyed in the process. Kevin Dorner said he was going to do this for all the keys, if that makes you feel better (personally, I don't think it's the responsibility of a fix pack to cleanup quest items, but what do I know?). The Ar0900 change is part of an update that modifies several of the VV encounters (the Shadow Thief/Vampire war). In Ar0700, there is a priest that nobody will ever see (he exists on the map, but EscapeArea()s as soon as the initial cutscene is over). In Ar0300, there is a "helpful man" who also exits as soon as the map is loaded. And in Ar0700, there is the Shadow Thief that will EscapeArea() at certain times. All this happens because these actors are scheduled to appear during the day, and they have the standard VV script (basically, it says that if it's daytime, EscapeArea()). So there are at least two creatures no one will ever meet, and you may miss the third (depending on what time it is when you enter the Temple District). I changed this by correcting the times when they're active (the helpful man only appears during the day, since his dialogue makes more sense then, and the Shadow Thief only at night), and removing the script reference that makes them leave (IMO, it's only really necessary for the random spawns who shouldn't hang around during the day). I wouldn't classify it as a bug per se, but it's not up to me. The chest in the Jysstev's manor has no key (it doesn't even have a key item reference, and there's no existing resource they could have possibly intended to use here), it's just that the unlock difficulty is set to 100. It only contains 1 Potion of Extra Healing (and maybe a low-level random treasure or something). I think this skirts being a bug (it does detract from gameplay, but doesn't actually break anything).

SimDing0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 MXSPLPRS and MSXPLDRU have a duplicate row for level 30. Not really something that needs to be altered (the DRU duplicates are identical, but the priest is different). May as well fix. Different rows is probably potentially confusing. XPLIST is the problem with the awarded experience for Gromnir when the PC is above level 37/38. The output isn't "pretty," but it should work for everyone (I don't think anybody is modifying XPLIST.2DA). I do in XPMod, but so long as you're not messing around with the formatting majorly, it shouldn't be a problem. As you noticed, AR0016 simply disables the traps in the tutorial area (they can't be disarmed and do nothing). Not really worth fixing. If they show up with Detect Traps, I think it's worth a fix. AR0202 is simply a flag change so that the door uses Gaal's key. Not worth fixing. On the contrary, I think having doors use up their respective keys is something we should be doing throughout the game. AR0300 simply matches up the transition flags (so that NPCs can't enter a building they can't get out of). The first patch offset is wrong (oops!). Not a bug fix. Again, I think this IS a fix. The party-required transitions are meant to be matched up. The first change in AR0406 assigns a script to the sleeping dwarf in the lotus room so he's destroyed when Lehtinan is killed. Not really a bug fix. The second changes Yarin's table so the trap isn't already detected (this screws auto-pause settings, but is probably not really a "bug"). If there's not a reason that the trap's already detected, then I think it should be fixed. AR0414 changes the coordinates of the "demon eyes" animation so that it actually matches the tiles. It's not really a fix and, no, I never did manage to get the animation to work reliably (the eyes actually do open). Why isn't it a fix? AR0500 was a change so that two copies of Stanet (who's listed in the area definition twice) wouldn't be in the area at the same time. Probably not a bug fix. Two copies of the same person in an area together counts as a bug in my book. However, while bmtown4.cre is Stanet, pirpir06.cre has a different Name and Apparent Name, one of which is "Stanet". Suggest that pirpir06.cre should use "Sailor" for both names. AR0516 (the astral prison) had incorrect data for it's rest spawns (it has the number of creatures listed as 2, but didn't have any creatures actually listed). The title of the spawn was ELAIR, so I added some elementals. This probably isn't a bug fix. If it doesn't go here, I'd like to see it in UB. AR0602 changes the flags of the Long Sword +1 so that it's found unidentified. Not a bug fix. I'd say it's a bug. AR0700 is probably not a bug fix (it changes the guard for the north exit so he isn't a "I saw you enter with those people..." guard). If his line doesn't make sense, it's an error. AR0901 says goodbye to Festule's dumb potion. Not really a bug fix. What was the potion there for before? AR1401 is part of a change to get rid of Tombie's journal. The last patch makes the dragon door use the key (the symbol). Probably not a bug fix. Wait, wait... why does the journal have to go? Link to comment
SimDing0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 AR2002 removes a trap from the container in Mazzy's house (it couldn't be detected/disarmed, and had no trap script). Not worth fixing. As above. If it detects as a trap, it is. (I haven't been mentioning stuff I've already covered that applies elsewhere, incidentally.) AR2400 had a bunch of non-NUL junk in it's rest spawn list, so I changed it to stuff that looked right. It's not a fix (not to mention that it looks like I forgot to update the number of creatures value). It's meant to spawn Umber Hulks. I figure it's worth fixing. AR3001 corrects the number of sounds in the ambient list. Not really worth fixing (although, if somebody does, it looks like I didn't update the number of sounds used value). Does this make a difference to anything? AR3004 was a change so that the rest spawn creature was a normal demon, instead of a summoned one that gave 0 XP. Not really a fix. Only summoned creatures should be summoned. Keep this one in. AR3010 changes an invalid CRE reference in the rest spawn creatures list. It was DERINI01 (I don't know if changing it is wise, however, as I don't know if Erinyes is a name or a type of demon). I'm fairly sure Erinyes is a type of demon. AR5006 changes the name of the trigger here (there were two SpiritAppear1 triggers) so that the ghost will face the right direction. May or may not be considered a fix. Sounds like a cosmetic fix to me. Worth including. Of all these, djinni with legs (and he knows how to use them) animation doesn't have the default djinni sounds, so may be considered a fix worthy of inclusion. Yeh, fix that one. Link to comment

devSin Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I was dubious about your illusion fix (which is why I did it this way). I couldn't find that the MISLEAD, PROJIMAG, and SIMULACR (or whatever they're called) were ever used. Is this handled specially by the engine, somehow (like when enemies cast it, they automagically use the RES spells)? But yeah, if yours works it's better (there are some places where you can't do "M" scripts, since the original script is already 8 chars). The player scripts need to be omitted. The Mac OS X version of ToB doesn't support the CTRL+I cheat key (to force banters), so I had to append all the player scripts with some code to do this on HotKey(B). Link to comment
SimDing0 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Those SPLs are automatically applied to illusions. Now that I think of it, might be worth putting some IDS targetting in, since while I added checks in the script, it's probably better not to assign the scripts to friendly simulacrums. Oh, and also change it so that the script gets assigned in the general slot rather than override (whatever NI says, it's going in the override), since that way, other people's custom *****M scripts will work. In fact, there's not much I've done right really, is there? Link to comment
Kish Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 AR0700 is probably not a bug fix (it changes the guard for the north exit so he isn't a "I saw you enter with those people..." guard). If his line doesn't make sense, it's an error. I think it would be way too easy to start "fixing" design decisions we disagree with--in a bugfix pack--and we shouldn't. By the time the PC can talk to a guard, there has been, by definition, enough time since the blowup with Irenicus that someone could walk from the blowup to where the guard is...so how do we know the guard isn't meant to have seen it? Incidentally, an erinyes is a type of baatezu. Link to comment
