Ishad Nha Shock Trooper Member # 7662	written Thursday, September 6 2007 23:48 Profile #25 From what I can see, item ability 65: Affect Rune Reading skill, does nothing in actual practice. Ditto when it is rephrased as item ability 43: “Affects the statistic equal to this value, minus one”. (Rune Reading is statistic number 42.) You can increase Arcane Lore via an item ability, but this increase does not affect Rune Reading, unlike increases to Arcane Lore coming from skill points. I think Rune Reading is redundant, there is no need for both it and Arcane Lore.

It's not completely redundant, but the main practical effect of having two separate skills is that parties with a lot of priests don't need to buy much Arcane Lore, which may or may not be good for game balance. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

The first two modes work, while the third does not, it only produces a flash. Posts: 292 \| Registered: Monday, November 13 2006 08:00
Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Sunday, October 14 2007 04:41 Profile #28 You mean it produces the flash but doesn't teleport? If that's what you mean there'd be an easy workaround - just call the function again with mode 1.

Ishad Nha Shock Trooper Member # 7662	written Sunday, October 14 2007 16:35 Profile #30 Time: Manual correction I drew up this table of time versus day/night cycles in BoA by using the following two calls: s = get_current_tick() % 5000; print_big_str("The time is now ",s," minutes."); 3,750 = start of dusk 4,000 = it gets darker 4,250 = darker still 4,500 = (midnight) 4,750 = brighter 5,000 = brighter still (A new calendar day starts now.) 250 = daylight Teleportation Yes, I wanted the party to be teleported not surrounded by pretty lights, that is why I chose “teleport party” not an SFX call. Fortunately the modes 0 and 1 both work. While I am at it, we really need a bugs page that lists the bugs in some definite order. For instance, bugs affecting calls could be listed in the order in which the calls are described in the Wiki guide. Posts: 292 \| Registered: Monday, November 13 2006 08:00

I'll probably be around a little more in a month or two, but this semester has really killed me with work and stuff. But if anyone would like to organize the bugs list or create a new post that covers more, there's nothing stopping you. The only reason my post is the definitive one right now is that it's the only effort anyone has made to be comprehensive. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Thursday, October 25 2007 11:19 Profile #34 There's a bug with item graphics. If you give an item an inventory graphic that is not in the first row of the sheet, it will be displayed correctly in the Get window, but once it is in the inventory the graphic at the top of the same column will be shown instead (ie, if it was slot 11 or 21, then the graphic in slot 1 will be displayed). Floor graphics in the second row work perfectly fine. Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00
Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Saturday, October 27 2007 10:39 Profile #35 (Sorry about double post!) I found another odd bug. I altered the cave floors to add an icon adjust value, and for some reason the adjust value was carried over to the surface floors as well - even though I had not added it. I added to specifically cancel the adjust on the surface floors for it to work properly. Edit: Thought I should be more specific. I modified them by importing them into 254 then reimporting that (implicitly) back into the original slot, rather than completely redefining them.

Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Saturday, October 27 2007 22:15 Profile Homepage #36 I'm inclined to say that the problem is with your data script and is probably caused by not using the 'clear' function properly, or possibly because cave floors are imported for the grass floors (Are they? And as importantly, should this make a difference? Unless you redefine the grasses in your data script, they shouldn't be affected by your changing the floors that the corescendata imported when defining them.... I don't know what the hell I'm talking about so I doubt anybody else will.) -------------------- "NOW PASS ME MY BOOTS.

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Sunday, October 28 2007 03:53 Profile Homepage #37 The surface floors DO import the cavern floors (floor 0), so if you alter that, then all floors that import that will be changed. Don't forget that your custom data script takes precident over corescendata. So changing the first floor without altering the grass floor will make BoA edit the cave floor, see that you aren't changing the grass floor, and go ahead and import floor 0 - the one you changed. Hope that makes sense. If I were you, I'd reassign the altered floors a different, unused number, leaving the first cave floors well alone. That way is far easier than redefining all of the grass floors again. -------------------- Nikki's Nook - Come back to Camden, and I'll be good.

Niemand Infiltrator Member # 5576	written Sunday, October 28 2007 10:37 Profile Homepage #39 No, what he's saying is that the game loads the custom script after corescendata, this means that definitions in the custom script override (take precedent over) those in corescendata. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners!

Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Sunday, October 28 2007 12:56 Profile #40 But if it loads corescendata and then the custom script, why would the grass be affected when I didn't do anything to it? Unless... the game stores the fact that one was imported from another rather than actually importing the data? A sample of my code: Then I did the same for each cave floor as well as the cave water, and the hill terrains. To fix it, I also did the same to all the grass and dry ground but this time setting it to 0. I'm not sure if it was actually needed for the dry ground though - I just assumed.

Niemand Infiltrator Member # 5576	written Monday, December 31 2007 13:34 Profile Homepage #41 Despite the fact that sliths are consistantly described as resistant to fire, the slith, slith warrior, and slith chief have significant immunities to cold rather than fire as defined in corescendata. The 'cr_immunities 1' lines for those definitions should be 'cr_immunities 0'. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners! "On guard, you musty sofa!"

Celtic Minstrel Shock Trooper Member # 10488	written Monday, December 31 2007 14:20 Profile #42 In a similar vein, the high priest and the archmage had no resistance to acid/poison even though the mage and priest did, and the archmage had resistance to magic but nothing else, and the slith avatar had no resistance to poison. The way I'm seeing it is that if the basic slith is resistant to fire and poison, every type of slith should be resistant to fire and poison. This is not the case, apparently. :/ Posts: 334 \| Registered: Friday, September 14 2007 07:00
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, December 31 2007 15:18 Profile Homepage #43 Good job on the data fix over at the BF, but I just noticed that you import objects into the last slot, but don't actually import it back into the original. I think the proper way to do it would be If you leave out the second import you're not really writing over creature 34... At least that's how I understand it. Does it work to do it your way? -------------------- "NOW PASS ME MY BOOTS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A FACE." -Nikki Tales From the Tabard Inn: Now if only there was a 3600 Hour Contest.....

Niemand Infiltrator Member # 5576	written Monday, December 31 2007 17:37 Profile Homepage #44 The second import is not needed, it is a deliberate feature that if no clear or import statement is used, values from previous definitions are retained. Examining the section of corescendata which defines items you will see this technique used often for related sets of items, for instance, the longswords. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners!
