The Heroes Round Table

So, I spent a good portion of today dicking around with potions. The good news is that the overwhelming majority of what I want to do looks easily editable in the .bin - tedious, but doable. The bad news (maybe) is that I haven't tested it out yet and I may very well be incorrect in that assumption,...

Yeah, this is one of those cases where the lore is at odds with game balance, and I'm going with balance >.> Anyhow, I'm still plodding along. As always, this has ended up being a shitton more work than I was expecting. The major thing today was the realization that I can make in-game stat boosts (w...

Another question, because I just haven't been bothering you enough :P What do I need to do in order to add a new transport location to a boatmaster? I want to change Tularea's boat route to Tatalia to Emerald Isle. However, when I edit the "transport locations" table generated by MMExtenti...

Yeah, I had thought about that, too. I sort of justified it by imagining that the mages serve the priests.

• Making chests simply locked instead of trapped. This one I imagine may not actually be doable, but I figured I'd ask anyway. BTW, this one is doable with scripts already. But to do it like that all "OpenChest" events must be replaced with a call to custom function that would check if it...

I'm not sure what the point of making stat increases past 100 so ineffective is, since the increase breakpoint could be 15 past 100 and it would still reach only +43 with a stat of 490. It's a tricky game of math, really. Diminishing returns are a concept that the game needs, the original just went...

Easily. Excellent! Cool. I'd be interested to see what you've done when you're ready to show. I just updated the initial post of my thread with some more information about what all I've been doing lately: https://www.celestialheavens.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14782 Ctrl+F "Grayface" for ...

Initial post has been updated with a lot more information

Upon further review of what I'm working with, it's looking like the single most important thing I would need help doing is altering the base recovery times for weapons, as doing so will be crucial to maintaining game balance. Second most important would be adding skill level perks (I took note of yo...

Is there anything for MMExtension planned/in the works? I recall you spoke of adding hooks before to edit the skill level perks in the .exe (in response to me asking about the possibility of editing them). Yes, MMExt version is coming soon, but it won't have that. Well, damn. I guess I'll have to w...

My apologies if I'm being a pest, since I rather feel like one at this point.

I was actually trying to kill this thread by rolling everything over to this more comprehensive one regarding what all I plan to do: https://www.celestialheavens.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14782 Bear in mind that a lot of it is still up in the air, and a final decision will end up being made WRT wha...

Yes, the Shield GM perk is bad, but I think even if it wasn't there's still the inherent problem that the classes who are good with shields don't need them.. For that reason, the only sort of perk that would make me want to learn Shield on my Knight is something that helps protect the rest of the p...

I'm actually not too concerned about thieves at this point since I've really nailed down how I want to balance out - and therefore make useful - the Disarm Trap skill. That said, I do like the idea about minimizing the number of enemies that target them... not sure how effective it would be in pract...

Ok, so rather than just pelting you with questions, I went ahead and updated my old thread about my mod with everything I'm thinking of doing: https://www.celestialheavens.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=355251 Of all the changes posted there, there's a good chunk that it's sounding like I'll be able to ...

Went ahead and rewrote the initial post to provide a lot more information with what all I have.

I've played quite a few games where shield-wearing characters can bash enemies with their shields; maybe GM Shield could be something similar: "Skill added to Attack Damage," or "Chance to stun equal to skill," or something like that. Funny you should mention that, since I thoug...

(EDIT: gave up on this idea)

Another question! Will this update allow for ways to edit spell level perks that are currently hardcoded? One of the things I want to do is bump Charm down to being an entry-level Mind spell, but I have no idea if that will work since I don't think Charm currently has a duration programmed for norma...

That's fine, for the most part. There's really no harm in leaving the existing Shield GM/Axe GM perks there so long as the new ones are added, I'd say, since they don't really do anything noticeable in the first place.
