Re: Common skills/skill trees

I wasn't thinking of generic skills like "attack" and "unsummon", but skills that require the spending of skill points to use, for example giving all 7 classes the Barbarian's "Iron Skin" or the Amazon's "Penetrate". In particular, I had the idea to either give all classes the same skill set but all...

Common skills/skill trees

Is the only way to give all 7 classes a common skill or common skill tree to clone all the necessary skills 6 times over? If so, doesn't this basically mean there are 7 different skills with the same name and effect (as seen by the user), and thus any bonus to the specific skill on an item would onl...

Yes, I had it set to 25 + 5 frames per level. 1 second should be noticeable, remembering I was testing in the normal Cold Plains, so no Cold Immunes. Meh, I decided to go back to pure physical Ravens in the end. Had some fun synergising Ravens, the Spirits, and the Creepers too. As always, trying to...

Passive stat columns work - the Ravens are now doing cold damage (as evidenced by the little blue flash every time they hit), but no chill is happening (and yes, I am using coldlength as the third stat).

[quote=Rattlecage";p="384941"]Did you adjust the Elen field in skills.txt? Changing that will affect how long monsters are chilled. Also, the game is hard coded at 25 frames per second (no matter the frame rate), so having an Elen of 25 will chill monsters for 1 second, 50 for 2 seconds, etc. I beli...

Altering Druid Raven skill

I recently attempted to buff the Druid skill "Raven" by significantly increasing the damage, then by adding supplemental elemental damage. Originally I went for magic damage, but later changed my mind and went for cold damage instead. The problem is, when I tested it on some low-level normal monster...

Re: New Set Item Text Colour Problem

I figured out what was happening with my original problem - after I noted a number of my set items had changed their name to the set item listed on the row above them in SetItems.txt - including the amulet below my new boots being named "M'avina's Faith" (and thus the green text even though I hadn't...

Re: New Set Item Text Colour Problem

That's interesting - does that mean you can't simply clear Sets.txt and SetItems.txt to create a completely new set of Sets?

Re: New Set Item Text Colour Problem

Well it's a new item, a pair of Wyrmhide Boots called M'avina's Faith, giving the M'avina's set six instead of five items. So no, I didn't change the name in the table as I added it myself, and I didn't add any colour tag. I later added both red and green colour tags to see what would happen, but th...

New Set Item Text Colour Problem

I know generally how to alter the text colour (I use AFJ Table Editor), however one small colour glitch has got me stumped. I added a pair of boots to the M'avina's set, and the name in the in-game list of set items always shows green, whether or not I actually have the item (instead of red for a mi...

Re: Removing Excpetional and Elite items

As always, thanks for the prompt response. I figured it was something like that. By "remove" I did actually mean "disable", as I had read elsewhere about the hardcoded references to some of the exceptional and elite gear.

Disabling Excpetional and Elite items

How should I go about removing exceptional and elite items from the game (i.e. only one tier of items, alal D1). I'm assuming altering or clearing the ubercode and ultracode columns will be required so they don't turn up when gambling, rarity changed to prevent racks spawning them, spawnable set to ...

Re: Rune gambling jitters

I thought as much. Seems more trouble than it's worth to solve a very minor headache.

Again on the prices, is it possibly rounding errors at some point in the gamble price calculations producing the differences between the "runes" even though they are all set at a base of 25000?

Rune gambling jitters

I've followed Nef's tutorial and added random rune gambling (using the El rune graphic for all of them prior to identification). All is working fine, save a couple of minor things: 1. The prices are dependent on clvl , which is a good thing, as better runes are possible at higher levels, but despite...

Re: New Treasure Classes Not Working

Got it working fine now, thanks all, changed picks to -4 and Cpot to 1. Though naturally the best class-specific item I've found has not been from a Super Unique, but a 109% ED reflex bow from Anya.

Re: New Treasure Classes Not Working

It's always something simple. Cheers guys. I doubt I ever would have noticed the fact that the potion classes were dropping twice. As a follow-up question, does the game work left to right when doing forced drops? So if I swapped the class specific and cpot columns in the Super TC's, the seventh ite...

New Treasure Classes Not Working

The idea: to force all Super-Uniques to drop a random class-specific item of at least magic quality. The reasoning: mainly as an exercise in playing with TreasureClassEx.txt, but also to increase the chances of finding class specific items which are less common than other base items (except for Assa...

Removing/Minimising Dodge/Avoid/Evade Stun Lock

I read somewhere that it is possible to "fix" the D/A/E stun lock problem by reducing the number of frames the animation plays for, the default I believe being 8 frames. First Question: is it possible to change the number of frames for the D/A/E animations without code editing (as the post I read in...

Sorry to bring up such an old thread, but I found it a little hard to follow exactly what is required for the second part of this fix.
