subtledoctor Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I think Jarno’s point is, all the AI improvements in the world are worthless if you have to deal with silly HoF mode to get the benefit. For all the work that went into improving the AI, why not make those improvements work on Core/Hard/Insane difficulty? Quote Link to comment
Luke Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 @subtledoctor, @Jarno Mikkola Unless I'm missing something, you don't need to play on HoF mode in order to benefit from the AI improvements! Moreover, there's an optional component that completely disables HoF bonuses (so you can play on HoF with just the extra XP...) Quote Link to comment

Rhastor Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 It's interesting. Unfortunately though, this looks like a pretty far-reaching overhaul of the game, and lacks the customizability of SCS. It also doesn't mention calls-for-help at all in the AI improvements section, and I wonder if for all its fanciness it still has that problem. I might try to reach out to DavidW to ask if calls-for-help could be copied over to IWD, which really ought to be done, but it looks like he hasn't been around for a few months. I would be willing to take a crack at it myself but I have just recently started fiddling with WeiDu, and with not so much success, so I would definitely need someone to set me on the right path.

I mean, judging from the screenshots posted on the first pages, the mod does sound quite challenging... But really, there's only one way to find out: install it, play it and see if it meets your expectations... Quote Link to comment
Rhastor Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 As it turns out, OlvynChuru was kind enough to provide me with a script that can be used to implement calls for help in IWD. I will now just have to go about writing a WeiDU script to apply it to all the creatures (which is not trivial for me, as a newbie to this) and if it works and he's okay with it, I will post a little mini-mod that takes care of this problem.
