Magus Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 @Bill Bisco don't those mods have active authors? Have you tried contacting them about that? Link to comment
Thimblerig Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Also, where's my monk, sorceror, snd barbarian stronghold?Temple district, Planar Sphere and de'Arnise Keep, I believe. A real stronghold sir! I want a monastery, Sorceror tower in fey lands, and a cold snowy barbarian camp! Yeah, those would be awesome, though a lot of work to implement. Link to comment
Bill Bisco Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 @Bill Bisco don't those mods have active authors? Have you tried contacting them about that? Saerileth's authors have retired. Zyraen hasn't posted in a year. Gen1e might be open (or not). He hasn't posted in some months. These changes might be considered as against designer intent. Regardless though, they would definitely make me happy! Link to comment
Bill Bisco Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Another change I would like: Immunity to wing buffeting! I absolutely hate this non-PNP garbage that does nothing but irritate me in dragon battles. I don't care whether this is just a bonus flat-out immunity or its granted by spells or items. Dragons have no basis knocking me across kingdom come like that! Link to comment

Dragons have no basis knocking me across kingdom come like that! There already is the opcode 101, set the parameter 2 to be 235.. but how would you like it to be applied ? Have you seen how large the dragon is ? It's not in PnP cause of movement system. Link to comment
Kulyok Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 A real stronghold sir! I want a monastery, Sorceror tower in fey lands, and a cold snowy barbarian camp! Oh, I could do those. Too bad I'm not an area artist - we'd need actual monastery/tower/snowy camp for these. Link to comment
Jarno Mikkola Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Oh, I could do those. Too bad I'm not an area artist ...Nope. You just need to reuse the assets already in the games. BG1 has the Durlag's tower, and the Ramazith tower if you wish to have a smaller space. The Icewind Dale has a Tower(Severed Hand), a Monastery (Dragon's Eye level 4...for snake worshipers) and a proper Barbarian Camp or two(IWD:HOW). Link to comment
Kulyok Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Those require full transfer with light maps and all, right? Then again, light maps and walking maps are _already in the game_. Worldmap might be a concern, but... hmm. Sounds like an idea indeed. Link to comment
Cahir Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Kulyok if you in need of area artist maybe it's worth reaching Selendis at Beamdog forums. You may see his work here: http://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/17646/projekt-x#latest I don't know if he and viader are still working on this Project X, but his work looks gorgeous (I saw few more maps not published in this thread and they look beautiful).

Kulyok Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think it's very beautiful, yes! He seems to be working in Polish language, though, which probably makes communication difficult. Link to comment
Cahir Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm not sure but I think he speaks English, so you could try to reach him if you want. I could help if there would be any problems with communication. Link to comment

Yes, the Dragon is big, but that doesn't mean my character is a shufflboard who can just slide 100 feet away. The easiest quick and dirty way to do it would be to patch character and summons to make them immune. in my ideal, the dragons would cease to use it altogether, but that's a scripting issue which could be harder. Implementing a new item such as potion of bull's resistance could grant the immunity as well. It would need to be patched to be sold in appropriate item shops. Link to comment
subtledoctor Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Doesn't IR (or some other mod) already have an item or spell that makes you immune to wing buffets? Some creatures should clearly have immunity - like, if you shapechange into an iron golem you should be immune. Link to comment
kreso Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Doesn't IR (or some other mod) already have an item or spell that makes you immune to wing buffets? Yes, IR's Dragonscale Shield grants this immunity. There are probably some item/kit mods which implement this immunity (mayb Six's Kitpack). Link to comment

I don't know about this shield you speak of, but I'd like something readily available before Dragon fights usable for all party members. I do not want to ever deal with wing buffets again.
