Double hits & Combat Arts + question about Avoidance mod on Shadow Veil
dimitrius154 replied to idbeholdME's topic in Sacred 2 General Discussion
"Chance for a Double Hit", which should be named "Chance for a Double Melee Hit", is a modifier, that affects any successful melee weapon-based attack, left-click, or CA. -
Strange BFG behavior and buffs in general

I'll look into these issues, once I'm finished with the current endeavor. The RPfB modifier does not seem to be acting correctly, at least description-wise. -
Color depends on bonus rarity, not on bonus type. That is, boni of the same type can have different rarity, resulting in different text color. That would happen, if their corresponding droplists were empty. Single , or multiple instances of that bug? Doesn't seem to be an Addendum-specific issue to me. There's no item or monetary reward for this quest, thus the reward section is empty.

That's correct. The advice was given during the initial stage of my attempts to get rid of the frequent CTDs. Since then, the useful part of the command's functionality has been included into the game's loading, surface-dungeon transition and area teleportation routines(actually, it's strapped to the loading wallpaper routine). There's no practical sense in using it manually. The CTD event log suggests an incorrect memory block address appellation by the game's memory manager. Are you sure, that you've not installed some "free" utility, or an antivirus some time before? Otherwise, it could be one of the recent Windows updates. Dunno about Win7, but I've encountered a bad memory allocation during a prolonged(3-4 days) active session on Win10. Some executables wouldn't start till PC reboot.

The "sys flush" command invoked manually can still lead to crashes in some instances. I wouldn't recommend using it.

Search the Windows Applications Log for the latest error entry regarding Sacred 2, then copy-paste. Blueprint.txt. Some Magic items have rarity other than 5; some Rare items have rarity other than 9. Won't matter, since you are not planning to use rarity dependent names.

No, the end-of-line semicolon has no function.

Yes, I've updated the package. Now that was not supposed to happen anyway. May I see the log entry?

It's "Multiplayer Teamplay", if I'm not mistaken.

Thing is, there's a specific check for "speaker_id" value during the "cNPCChatAI" applicability determination. For Orcs, valid values seem to be 7(shamen) and 2(the rest). [EDIT] I now partially understand how the Eliza voiceover system works(ahem, should work). That might allow to restore various cheers, taunts and rumors.

It's been bugging me for some time - "why there's no NPC dialog interaction in Nor-Plat, Hissil'ta, or Dyr Lain?". Well, now I know: in a moment of ingenuity typical of Sacred 2 script writing many of the "statist" NPCs have not been assigned speakertype_id's.

It is, sorry. Late night. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OyHi4bbRRs2vhaWfMBymMxtmpfW7Kten Either the ratio in question might not work in the expected way(that is names, generated from lists with ratio set to 0, would still occur), or items with blank prefix and suffix would sometimes be generated(which is the primary vanilla random name generation bug). I'd say, the naming process looks optimal now. Although, I'd advice changing all "normal" item rarity to 1, "magic" item rarity to 5, and "rare" item rarity to 9.

Ben, the name generator fix package for d2f is available at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LqOuHBsv-8bMT60M6Z8-EliBA3kJ5WvH The fix involved tampering with rare,material,bonus ratio, thus the default values are used in the supplied NameGenConfig.txt.

Pretty much the same way, as Daggerfall and Morrowind did. An appealing setting and a good storyline. Sacred 2 would be, perhaps, as popular as Morrowind, if the devs had released a world and a script editor back in the day. It's not that the programmers were bad, it's that the project management went awry. Quite a few indications of a lack of communication among those assigned to various parts of the game mechanics code.

In fact, I'm almost done repairing that schnapps-borne contraption. Need to add some extra names for the class-specific modifiers and port the fixes to all four supported s2logic.dll versions.
