Update globals? How do you do that?

[Ergonpandilus]

Sorry, I got mixed up with xp rate... No luck?

[Czartchonn]

Done exactly what you've described so far except updating globals, which I have no idea how to do. Don't know where to see if anything has changed except starting up the game. And when I do that and test by casting magic/getting hit I regenerate as normal. Doesn't matter if I start up a new game or load a saved game. Tried changing both Static and Game files as well as Save Game file. No luck.

I tried updating _Template_PC_CharWizard also, but it's not working for me either. Though it seems like Rhulana was regenerating slower then usual, but I'm 100% sure though.

Maybe it's hard-coded thing

[Czartchonn]

Is it possible to see how the script that follows Slower Astral Regeneration looks? Maybe with a rewrite of that it might be possible to figure out how to slow down regeration.

Reg_LE_freq = 8;

Could it be that 8 is 8X faster than normal?Change to 0 maybe?

Trying to test out the new Shields, but can't even get past executing them. When I try to execute

Code: Select all

- by LocalId: =lookat_holzschild_03 -> Large Wooden Shield

in SQlite, I get a syntax error. Seems it doesn't recognize the ":"

Am I doing something wrong? I open the Locale file in SQlite and paste it in. Then try to execute. I can't save as it doesn't recognize the script. Help?

This is not SQL. What was meant here: In "Browse data", click the button with the magnifying glass. In the following dialogue, select "LocaId" , "=" and enter "lookat_holzschild_03". Click "Search". Now you will find the line where you can change the text to "Large Wooden Shield".

In SQL, tis would be
UPDATE _Locale SET LocaText="Large Wooden Shield" WHERE LocaId="lookat_holzschild_03";

Amosh is right, sorry if it was confusing. Though those only change the texts, not the behaviour.

Code: Select all

UPDATE _Locale SET LocaText="Simple Wooden Shield" WHERE LocaId="lookat_holzschild_03";
UPDATE _Locale SET LocaText="Large Wooden Shield" WHERE LocaId="lookat_holzschild_01";
UPDATE _Locale SET LocaText="Reinforced Wooden Shield" WHERE LocaId="lookat_holzschild_02";
UPDATE _Locale SET LocaText="Great Leather Shield" WHERE LocaId="lookat_lederschild";
UPDATE _Locale SET LocaText="Kite Shield" WHERE LocaId="lookat_eisenschild_01";
UPDATE _Locale SET LocaText="An elongated iron shield that offers awesome protection, because it's exceptional big size. Thus wielding shield this big, gives big penalty for ability to hit. Carrying a shield gives you a second parry." WHERE LocaId="infoid_Eisenschild_01";


Still, do these manually by searching. These are just localization fixes.
- by LocalId: contains "InfoWindowTotalDamage" W -> D
- by LocalText: contains "shield" check spelling,ex. Wooden shield -> Wooden Shield with capital S
- by LocalText: contains "1W" or "W+" and Localid's with damage

@wolfy: I don't know about it, but try it and tell me if it works. Btw, noticed that when I raise astral energy high enough, it starts to regenerate 2 points at the time, so it seems it works with percentages of maximum value etc.

PS. Added new thread called "Ergo's Shields" and also found one shield that I missed earlier.

Weapon deterioration possible by making weapons have -1Hp for all weapons as their standard +attribute?Then make whetstones to replace with +2HP to stimulate sharpening.Give it a good amount of strikes....maybe 250.

I found some AR piercing arrows.They claim +2HP and war arrows say +1HP.Shouldnt they be +2-n-+1 Armor Reduction instead?
