bradinmemph

you gonna put MS spells here for open discussion??

i think humanoid monsters would be okay long as you didnt have em taking up more than 1 or 2 slots..

 

 

@brandinmemph, the 3rd lvl Animate Dead no longer summon the Skeletal Warrior but "only" Greater Skeletons. The SW summon was freaking OP for a 3rd lvl spell slot, and even for a 6th lvl spell slot it is still extremely competitive (just compare it side to side with an Air/Fire/Earth Elemental and you'll see what I'm talking about).

ohh no no no complaint... i totally agree skeletal warrior is beyond the scope of animate dead..

just wanted to make sure i hadnt actually lost my freaking mind..

btw for anyone how do i get around the 24 spells at sorcerer learn spells of X lvl screen at lvl up??

i know i could hidespl.2da or set the [pick for me scheama to customize via that 2da file but there has t o be some sort of tobex thingy for EE mods..

right?? or a more elegant solution...

i know how much you're loving EE these days demi

btw did create undead 6th lvl wiz/clr spel;l vanish??

i have animate skeletal warrior.. whic donest make sense since animate dead will give you skeletal warrior.. at higher lvl anyways

was just wondering if id missed a change log regarding create undead

 

This EE stuff is ridiculous. Screwing not just one random animation, but two in a row?

Right, or you could use creatures that were actually originally designed to be combat creatures and have none of the crashes. Think, it's not illegal.

Besides, you can always supply your own animation resources and in EE, you don't even need to modify the .exe to use them...

re bg2ee imp invs and -4 ..i believe that is a bug and i seem to recall reading about it . though that might have been an older error rpt..

so not sure will test it out

http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/1032/bg1-bg2-bug-improved-invisibility-spwi405-spl-doesnt-confer-save-bonuses-0629

and it refers back to a gibberlings discussion..

bad news Bats Ctd in bg2ee

ToB at least

others all work fine

admitedly losing bats for tob isnt huge ..

but still...

Im dl'ing fresh bg2ee will install newest sr build and nothing else and test Soa and Tob

but so far not looking good for bats rats..cats or hats... in As1

also animal growth I know ive mentioned this before...

but either the summoned critters need to be associated to fighter class..

or just give a 50% hp bonus ,dble norm damage.....+ top ac.. and ...specials for the top tier AS spells....,for the bearsvi-vii chance to "maul "under animal growth.. or increased chance ..

giant snake +animal growth chance to crush...(its not venomous or there'd be a posion save )so must be constrictor... ...

yup yup though i was picturing monty python and the holy grail.. (what can i say im old LOL) but yeah same thing.. LOL

on an aside note ive actually had the "let him do it himself he'll get more expereince that way"conversation with my counterpart.. when doing arcitc satt comm and training newbies...or as christopher titus says "wait wait.... this should be good"(stands back watches)

anyways the bats loook great

So, a bit of a feedback on those druid thingies:

 

- color of Obscuring Mist is fixed, looks really nice;

yup

 

- both bats (which is expected), PCs (which is debatable) and NPCs (which is good) seem to be unaffected by Obscuring Mist, hostile creatures are affected as usual;

- bats are like rats but cooler, Obscuring Mist combo will have more weight with OM affecting PCs though;

yuppers

 

 

- bats currently have unarmed "fist" weapon that can be switched to and, obviously, applies no disease on attack;

- regular disease-on-hit works fine (and wears off after some time as it should), but I still think that for bats it should be replaced with spook-like effect (or it should be added on top of that, maybe with some bonus to saving throw, and no, it won't be overpowered, since those bats have hard time hitting anything at all, and even low-level creatures are making their saves like there's no tomorrow);

id make disease on hit added too spook not instead.. of .. and sure give a save.. but no need to add a bonus.. heck the chance of bat hitting isnt great.. and anything they are likely to hit..is probably not terribly overpowered...

so disease and sppok effects yeah give em both give it a save vr poison/disease.. but no need to fudge the save with a bonus to roll

 

 

- I'm not sure if that Swarm ability works (that, or I can't grasp how it's supposed to): bat misses\hits charname on 10\11 roll both alone and with additional bats around, and still can roll 1 or 2 on attack even while in group. Is it supposed to positively affect the chance of higher attack rolls?

 

yeah im not getting swarm effect but that could just be me not seeing it..

 

so did timer on magic stone ever get changed to 240? i did it for own game based on the 255+= timing error.. for the opcode...

240 gives 4 turns instead of 5 but its better than magic stone dying in 2-4 rounds..

sppr106.spl

looks unchanged still at 300 duration which = 3 seconds rlt in bgee with the opcode time error..

240 durr gives me a nice min or 2 rlt..

testing newest build right now..on clean bgee bg2ee install(beamsoft) has got to be wondering why im re downloading the game 8 times a day LOL

wohooo MS on the way look forward to the new build and will .. crash test the mini update.. on ee and 2ee

horror and fire trap or snares .. works well as combo too... snares if you have the advantage of retreat and re engage... or on the fly.. fire trap behind em and then horror... ..as they run right into traps/snares

sorry to be the harbinger of doom demi but .. you wanted beta testing and Im really good at running into "features" glad the AS1 CtD on 2EE isnt me only LOL

"bats would work..." insects.. would be cool too vorpal bunnies!!?"its just a harmless bunny..." "look at the bones!!""killer squirrells??

+1^2 LOL i totally agree would like to keep the fiend summons

also re the spell shield fix

since its being worked out in thread for geg.. is it going to appear soon on a rebuild of SR?

djinni is majour air elem and efreet fire elem..

id like to keep both of those if poss

and demi still testing As1 and the others.. so far other than as1 failing critically CtD in SoA and ToB for bg2ee all looks good other wise

 

inBG2EE SOA with fresh and imported druids AS1 fails critcally fails as in CTD .. as2-6 work great..

 

I cannot find any error within ASI files...

 

hey if the words war dog is there instead of wolves *re AS 4 for druids desc* and SoA and ToB As1 doesnmt work.. that really isnt too bad gonna wipe and do fresh install bg2ee and sr only to re test the as1 ctd error

more errors

inBG2EE SOA with fresh and imported druids AS1 fails critcally fails as in CTD .. as2-6 work great..

ohh and in AS3 under special attack,.. pack: for each war dog within 10 ft ..etc..+1 thaco..blah blah"

umm those are wolves not war dogs:)

just a typo in the desc

but as 1-4 work fine in BGEE now so thats something positive:P

moved to its own topic as the problem is more convoluted than i first thought..

read as1-3 are scerwed..please!! its funny/sad /maddening.. or something..LOL

okay i thought so 60 sec turn yup yup 4 turns would be a good compromise.. .. much better than 5 rds.. i just edited sppr106 from 300 to 240 secs and it works

thank you subtle....

bugger that so any way to avoid the affected op code? or do the effct diferently

sounds cool hope what i said makes sense

AS could stand to be slightly buffed ..but as everyone is eager to point out not supposed to be as powerful as MS ..though personally id buff the AS slightly increasing the summons number or instilling a built in max HP buff when animal summoned hps=max ..something to make em slightly durable

also ad a HP buff to the animal growth not just a con /str bonus...

 

stones disappearing after few rounds, can anyone reproduce it and help me track the issue? I couldn't find any error within the spell files...

Works fine for me.

same as kreso they disapear after few rounds .. no where close to 5 turns

Ehm...Kreso actually said they work FINE for him. I'm starting to fear another EE-related issue...

 

lol lost in the cascade.. but yeah in ee they last about 5 rounds instead of 5 turns

 

stones disappearing after few rounds, can anyone reproduce it and help me track the issue? I couldn't find any error within the spell files...

Works fine for me.

 

same as demi they disapear after few rounds .. no where close to 5 turns

removed due to gross stupidity...

 

yeah i saw the dup numbering for first issue.. but havent played with the spell shield and thanks man sorry to play crash test dummy.. ill sit tight til you upload a fixd build btw any plans for mon sums 4-9 in next builds love to know what your thinking for that

You are really unlucky man. Every build had its problems but not so annoying and persistent. That damn Spell Shield fix is giving troubles since like the last 3 builds.

 

Anyway, you'll probably see a first draft of MSI-IX spells within the next build. I'll post more infos soon.

 

@geg_Ma3gau, I'll let you know, but it depends more on Crevs than me. Sorry.

and cool cool re MSX spells
