Is there a line in balance.txt I can modify to weaken Facetteleon

[Genion 0]

If they have no armor and they are doing no damage, what is causing the issue?

 

Are you attempting to fight them inside the machine while the egg (big round thing in the middle of the room) is refilling their shields? If so, try leading them out into the hallways.

 

 

My character is just not strong enough for those nameless guardians

 

Even after destroying all the energy sources (round in a circle) it is just not enough

I am thinking that those entries only apply to normal monsters and not bosses. We will have to find another

What is the weather like there in Indianapolis?

 

Is there anything going on in Indianapolis that is interesting?

It's been hot and humid these last few days. (heat index of 116F) And about the biggest thing going on here is the upcoming Brickyard400 then the start of Football season. But I have been working 12 hour days this week, so a discovery that the world is flat could have happened and I wouldn't know. I'm looking forward to a off weekend to relax.

Hi thank you again

 

I am now fighting Nimonuil

 

Is there anything I could type to alter or weaken him?

 

Also,Is it possible to weaken him but still be able to get the treasure when you defeat him?

 

What would I do to make that happen?

Frost's idea in post 12 may be the best idea.

 

Well at the present I changed those lines a long while back

 

They read

Enemy_armor = {0,0,0,0,0},

Enemy_weapondamage = {0,0,0,0,0},

Enemy_spelldamage = {0,0,0,0,0}

 

So one would think the monster would be a cinch

 

Yet it continues to be impossible for me

 

Flipping all the numbers to 0 might cause divide by 0 math errors. When these errors occur you might end up doing 0 damage to them yourself.

Set them to 1 and see what happens.

Please help me- The Four Nameless Guardians

 

Hi I need your help

 

I defeated the first three nameless guardians

 

The fourth would not die

 

I battered and battered the mouse over and over and over

 

The red line never went below the one third point

 

 

I saved the game and exited

 

Coming back I find I have to start all over with the four nameless guardians

 

I just cant start all over over again

 

It's too hard on my hands already riddled with arthritis

 

Please help

 

I need to type something in here that will kill the nameless guardians

 

 

 

Enemy_armor = {1,1,1,1,1},

Enemy_weapondamage = {1,1,1,1,1},

Enemy_spelldamage = {1,1,1,1,1}

 

This is what the line looks like now

 

I don't die but I cant kill the last nameless guardian

We will do our best, it's just a different problem than we are used to solving. Those Guardians have a ton of defense and armor, including mitigation. I don't know how to help you do more damage without also giving them more damage at the same time.

[Malachor 11]

One(or all) of the combat arts used by the character could be modified to inflict ridiculous amounts of damage.

Just a suggestion.

How do I do that

 

Could you write it here?

 

Do you alter Balance.txt?

You'll be modifying scripts\shared\spells.txt.

 

search for:

1) sk_hc_harterschlag

2) sk_hc_befreiungsschlag

3) xxxsk_tc_schildstoss

4) sk_tc_kampfrausch

5) sk_tc_attacke

6) xxxsk_ap_todeskaelte

7) xxxsk_ap_todeskaelte_buff

8) sk_ap_geisterhand

9) sk_ap_unterstuetzung

and look for any entry with the word damage in it, like "et_spelldamage_physical", then change the first number out of the four that are after the name.

Using this as an example:

entry3 = {"et_spelldamage_physical", 700, 350, 0, 133 },

You would change the 700 to whatever number you wanted. There's probably a maximum, but I haven't changed them to find one.

[Llama8 8]

The ones with xxx in front of the name are unused, you'll want to look for the following SW CAs:

 

sk_hc_rammstoss Ruinous Onslaught

sk_hc_harterschlag Demonic Blow

sk_hc_befreiungsschlag Scything Sweep

sk_hc_kampfruf Rousing Command

sk_hc_willensstaerke Grim Resilience

sk_tc_kampfrausch Killing Spree

sk_tc_standarte Augmenting Guidon

sk_tc_umlenkung Reflective Emanation

sk_tc_attacke Frenzied Rampage

sk_tc_sprung Belligerent Vault

sk_ap_geisterhand Spectral Hand

sk_ap_geistform_buff Shadow Veil buff

sk_ap_geistform Shadow Veil

sk_ap_unterstuetzung Skeletal Fortification

sk_ap_kampfbefehl Rallied Souls

sk_ap_kohorte Nether Allegiance

Hi Genion

 

As per our site rules, please avoid double posting to overly bump a topic. As well, requests to our community are that ^^

 

Please be patient with our community, and if folks want to post, they will.

 

Overly pushing a topic creates tension, and DarkMatters is all about life's sunny side up.

 

Cheers

There are several ways to make bosses easier to kill:

A: changing their or your combat arts

B: changing overall game balance

C: rethink your playstyle (using x% life leech weapons for example)

 

This topic was about B. Case A, modifying combat arts, is discussed here: understanding spells.txt to understand combat arts and to modify them

 

or here

 

How to turn propelled levitation in a buff

 

EXAMPLE

Shadow warrior: Demonic Blow

sk stands for Schattenkrieger (german for shadow warrior). So look in spells.txt for combat arts starting with sk.

Demonic blow is in death combat aspect, (german Schwerer Kampf, which is heavy combat in english) so look for lines with: focus_skill_name = "skill_SK_heavy_combat_focus"

Demonic blow is the first in the aspect so look for sorting_rank = 1.

 

mgr.defineSpell( "sk_hc_harterschlag", {
eiStateName = "cSMSKHardHit",
fxTypeCast = "",
fxTypeSpell = "",
duration = 0.000000,
animType = "ANIM_TYPE_SM01",
animTypeApproach = "ANIM_TYPE_INVALID",
animTypeRide = "ANIM_TYPE_INVALID",
animTypeSpecial = "ANIM_TYPE_RIDESM01-SPECIAL",
causesSpellDamage = 0,
tokens = {
	entry0 = {"et_mult_weapondamage", 1300, 2, 0, 9 },
	entry1 = {"et_baseAW", 200, 350, 0, 5 },
	entry2 = {"et_damage_any_rel", 400, 100, 0, 5 },
	entry3 = {"et_chance_bleeding", 197, 3, 1, 5 },
	entry4 = {"et_damage_areasplash", 745, 5, 2, 9 },
	entry5 = {"et_debuff_reduce_armor", 500, 10, 3, 9 },
	entry6 = {"et_weapondamage_poison", 40, 10, 4, 9 },
	entry7 = {"et_life_leech", 30, 15, 5, 9 },
	entry8 = {"et_chance_deepwound", 200, 2, 6, 5 },
},
fightDistance = 45.000000,
aspect = "EA_SK_HARDCOMBAT",
cooldown = 0.000000,
soundProfile = 0,
cost_level = 175,
cost_base = 350,
focus_skill_name = "skill_SK_heavy_combat_focus",
lore_skill_name = "skill_tactics_lore",
spellClass = "cSpellSMove",
spellcontroltype = "eCAtype_a_weapon_attack",
spelllogictype = "ca_ct_direct_attack",
magicType = "MAGIC_TYPE_ATTACK",
sorting_rank = 1,
})

 

entry0 = {"et_mult_weapondamage", 1300, 2, 0, 9 }

This line means that your base weapon damage is multiplied with (1.3+0.02*level)

 

entry2 = {"et_damage_any_rel", 400, 100, 0, 5 },

adds 40%+10%*level damage

 

entry6 = {"et_weapondamage_poison", 40, 10, 4, 9 },

adds base poison damage to the weapon for 4+1*level

 

You can carefully work with the numbers in red.

 

But I would really like it if you read the spells.txt thread first and put questions related to it there. With work and 5 kids it takes a lot of time to read all. Time I won't have once we run full production again after summerbreaks ending this weekend.
