Would this not require using the custom objects script to change every existing floor (all 130), so that a state is called, setting a SDF when the party walks over it? This would be impossible without tampering with the core data file as there are only 124 free floor slots. There are even less free terrain slots relative to the number of existing terrains. The other problem is that as every terrain would be calling a script to change the SDF, it wouldn't fulfil its normal parameters, like lava being hot. But I may be misunderstanding the use of SDFs, if so, sorry... Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |

Thankyou, I understand now. Unfortunately this method is too ugly for what I am trying to create. Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |

To clarify: it_damage_per_level gives the size of dice used for that weapon. it_bonus gives the number of extra die Damage = (1 + Strength + Relevant Skill + it_bonus)d(it_damage_per_level) [ Tuesday, October 12, 2004 08:59: Message edited by: demipomme ] Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |

Thanks for your reply, but I don't understand how this will help. In the script I am writing, which is called by using an item, the terrain/floor the party is on affects the outcome, wherever they are outside. Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |

... which according to my calculations should give an average damage of 51. Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |

Here is the relevant paragraph from the editor: "it_damage_per_level (Defaults to 0) - Only important for weapons. The size of the die of damage the weapon does. A blow with a weapon does a number of dice of damage equal to the attacker’s strength plus the skill in the weapon plus the bonus. it_bonus (Defaults to 0) - For weapons, the number of extra levels of skill the wielder is given. For armor, the number of extra points of damage it absorbs." So, for a sword that is 1-5 + 1-5, wielded by a character of strength 8 and melee weapons 6 the damage will be: (8 + 6 + 1d5)d5 Am I right? Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |

In the description of my sword, it says, "plus 1-5 points [damage] per level of strength and melee weapons". Does this mean plus 1-5 points per level of strength, plus 1-5 points per level of melee weapons or plus 1-5 per level of both strength AND melee weapons? For example, if I have strenght 8 and melee weapons 5 is my bonus (1 to 5)*8 + (1 to 5)*5 or (1 to 5)*5 I hope this is clear... Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |

I would like to be able to find out the terrain/floor under a party when they are outside. The solution I thought was a combination of: char_loc_x char_loc_y get_floor But, char_loc_x and char_loc_y don't work outside. -Is there a workaround to find out the floor/terrain under the party? -Is there another way of obtaining a party's coordinates outside? -Would it be possible to change char_loc_x and char_loc_x for the next release so they do work outside? Cheers Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |

I've also had this problem, so I'd be interested to know your ugly work around and whether this will be fixed in a later version. Thanks. Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |

You can find it on the visitor's quarters level of the school of magery. In the bottom right (I guess that means south east) corner there is a secret passage that goes north. At the top is where palhaltis and another mage were murdered and the silk-woven robe was left behind. I didn't find it as such, but remembered it from playing the BoE version, in which, i would point out, the robe was magic and more powerful. Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |

I've just got to the point in valley of the dying things where i've found the mages bodies and got the silk-woven robe. Unlike other forms of armour that are described as preventing 1-5 + 2 points of damage, the silk-woven robe is described as preventing 1-3 points of damage and then, under "abilities", it says "+3 less damage from attacks". Is this the same as 1-3 + 3 or something different? Should my character wear this or poor chain mail (prevents 1-20)? Posts: 30 | Registered: Sunday, October 3 2004 07:00 |
