dimitrius154 612 Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 My current priority is ensuring that as much content as possible is working the way it should hardcode mechanics-wise. Softcode changes can be made later(it's never a good thing to spread one's attention thin). Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Is it intended that Itemtype 11142, w_soulstaff.GR2 endlessly loops the FX for Dislodged Spirit? The persistent visuals and repetitive sound are extremely grating. Some other notes: Itemtype 11556, is expecting "k_tongue.GR2" but the model filename is "ker_tongue.GR2". Itemtype 8912, b_upyr.GR2, is not assigned to its intended blueprint (4104). Itemtype 8913, s_wendigo.GR2, is not assigned to its intended blueprint (4105). Itemtype 13454, w_abaris.GR2 doesn't have an icon for the new design. 1 Link to comment

Two giant white streaks nearly the size of the staff fly several meters into the air and come crashing down every two seconds. It's very distracting. Frankly the base staff is so remarkable that it stands on its own without the need of anything extra. The design is a cut above any other staff. If extra FX are really desired, IMO it should be something smaller, more subtle, and localized around the upper shaft or head of the staff. An alternative may be to have the FX display only when it's first equipped. I believe I saw some new Pole Arms that behaved that way. Link to comment

I'll check that once I manage to get rid of a newly discovered vanilla bug: character casting combos are prone to losing ability to move, attack and cast spells, if pushed away by Knockback, Gust of Wind, Raving Thrust, etc. Link to comment

That sounds like the same bug that plagued original CM Patch devs and caused me to decide to just remove all knockback and Push spell tokens from enemy CA's. I'd been meaning to mention it about your "enemy_dragon_fly_sturzflug" CA. Link to comment
dimitrius154 612 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) The somewhat limited utility, but working knockback solution is being tested. The w_soulstaff fx has been altered: These will be part of the next beta iteration. Edited November 7, 2020 by dimitrius154 1 Link to comment
Popular Post MeGoGo 4 Posted November 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hi, I have been playing this game since childhood, now I'm hooked on it. I decided to download and install patches for a more logical game. What can you recommend for me? Interested in bug fixes and minimum interference with gameplay 2 1 Link to comment
Popular Post Lindor 429 Posted November 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2020 3 hours ago, MeGoGo said: Interested in bug fixes and minimum interference with gameplay Then I'd personally recommend the latest Community Patch, Vanilla Drops for Community Patch and Sacred 2 Enhanced Edition with the "CORE" module and the "Classic Icons" module. Other people might suggest differently, e.g. S2EE offers quite a lot of bugfixes and improvements but even the CORE module has some impactful Gameplay interference. When it comes to mods I'd take e.g. Flix' or dimitrius' opinion over mine anytime, so if they suggest differently, I'd rather listen to them. 2 Link to comment

MeGoGo 4 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 So, where I can download dimitrius's CM patch? Can u give me a link? Link to comment

The first post of this thread contains the link, as well as the up-to-date list of fixes and changes. Be aware, that the Addendum is in Beta stage. Glitches are to be expected. I should also mention, that the Addendum does not meet the "strictly bugfixes" criteria. Then again, technically, neither had the Community Patch since it's inception. Link to comment

Not mods as well, I like it, but im not sure if im ready)) Link to comment
MeGoGo 4 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 And ... it was always interesting, what determines the chance of a drop of this or that item, and how does it affect the barrel, chest, etc.? That is, what are the chances of finding something useful in this or that chest? Link to comment

The more you mods you add, the more strange the game becomes compared to what the developers released. I dream of a fixes-only release someday, but I have to get some more things in order before that's possible. Link to comment

I want a fix bug and a minimum of modifications, like community patch 1.17.0 Link to comment

You will have to read the change logs for Enhanced Edition or the Addendum and decide whether the amount of fixes outweigh the number of fan-created content and changes. Link to comment

Hello, I installed Enhanced Edition and everything seemed to be fine ... But I have a problem, my character sometimes stumbles out of the blue and refuses to go. Well, there is an animation of walking, but it does not go. This is especially the case with nearby NPCs. This is how to fix it? Link to comment

It's pretty much bam bam bam with blowpipes. Hmm, I think, I'll add projectiles to blowpipe attacks. Seems sensible. Link to comment
dimitrius154 612 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Done, not too bad. Just need to edit all the blowpipes, add an extra bone. Link to comment

Blowpipes are one of those "regional taste" thingies in Sacred 2, considering that they're a class-specific weapon and only Dryads can wield them, as much as only Shadow Warriors can wield many 2 handed hammers and swords. It's a differentiating factor in the game, class-wise, so I don't see why it needs revision in its behaviour. 1 Link to comment

Due to a misprint by whoever was programming the ranged weapons, blowpipes are the only ranged weapons class, that does not have a special spell attached. Which means: Blowpipes have an extreme unmoddable range Blowpipe attacks are instantaneous Blowpipe attacks bypass normal rules for projectiles vs. various obstacles and terrain. All in all, it's an "advantage" of the same type, that the Inquisitor and the Dryad enjoyed with Magic Staves before CMP 1.60. Link to comment
