Okay, initial release of Dredstuck! I'm not sure if I've OP'd Grimdarkmancy or not, so I'll leave it to you guys to try it out and tell me!

Suggestions, bug reports and comments are very, very helpful!

Changelog

• v.1.0.0
  • Initial release. No changes made yet.
  • Grimdarkmancy and associated items/spells/recipes released.

• v1.0.1
  • Fixed the /grimdarkmancy thing
  • Is it just me, or does the Level 4 sprite appear too big on the skillbar? Trying to fix, but not sure what's broken. :/

• v1.0.2 - Sept 22, 2012.
  • Fixed Blackout Bolt icon bug
  • Fixed sfx bug

• v1.0.3 - Sept 22, 2012
  • Fixed /sfx/ issues

 

I'm getting this error message when I try to load the game. I peaked into the xml a bit and I found this:
<spell icon="sprites/skills/horrorterror_2_64.png" type="self" name="Squidissension">
<buff icon="sprites/skills/horrorterror_2_64.png" bad="1" smallIcon="sprites/skills/horrorterror_2_32.png"

Is that the cause of the issue? It doesn't call for it in the sprites/skills/grimdarkmancy/ part..

Edit: Seems like it is. I edited the spellDB.xml to add the grimdarkmancy bit and it's loading fine now.

 

Ah, sorry about that. Must've missed it somehow. Is there anything else that seems off? I ran it well enough a few times, but maybe something's different. I'll reupload with a small fix.

EDIT: Uploaded. Something I didn't notice before showed up, though. It isn't game breaking, but it is annoying. :/a

 

Found another issue The sfx folder is missing. And thanks for fixing the icon for blackout bolt. Didn't think to mention that one when I did the bug report for the other one.

 

Okay. Fixed that one. Still don't know what I'm doing wrong with the blackout bolt one. It matches up okay and validator says everything's fine. :c

 

Okay, new version uploaded. Changelog updated.

 

It's still looking for /sfx/ in some places..
<anim frames="5" sprite="sprites/sfx/curse_hit/curse_hit"/>
<anim frames="5" sprite="sprites/sfx/impact_necromantic/impact_necromantic" centerEffect="0" sfx="explosion!"
<anim frames="5" sprite="sprites/sfx/impactA/impactA" centerEffect="0" sfx="emo_energy" frameRate="35" firstFrame="2"/>

I dunno if they're not supposed to be there, or if something's wrong with the upload cause there's still no sfx folder in the sprites bit. (see attachment)

Sorry if I'm being overzealous or something

 

you seem to have quite the mod here. I think i'll give it a looksee.



edit: hmmm... you might want to roll back the sell price on some of your new items, it does have the potential to unbalance the game when you can get near infinate zorkmids from selling to brax.

 

.... Odd. Let me try something. I think it'll be redundant, but maybe that should fix it... Come back here in about 30mins

Okay, is it loading for you okay now?

 

It's missing impact_necromantic0005.png still. The sfx folder has 0000 to 0004

Edit: I'm sorry I keep posting bugs.. But! I'm looking forward to the other skillsets, not being a big mage-type, Grimdarkmancy isn't my style of skill. Still enjoying the flavor of it tho. I just feel like the health reductions might be a bit limiting. Pretty much -have- to play it with vegan if I wanna survive (might be different for someone who's used to playing mages.

 

And, btw, can you put an artifact level on those needles? They seems useful and strong, so no level of artifact doen't give them justice.

I don't see the problem, bugs affect the value of a mod making it useless or less effective than it should be.

Flavour is everything!

 

I agree with the artifact level.. As for my bugs comment, it's most cause it's the only thing I've had mentioned in the thread. I'm used to beta testing, since that was actually what I used to work in so I tend to report bugs as soon as I see one. Some people might take it wrong, which was why I apologized

 

@Ruigi: I'll try to rebalance them. The needles are one-of-a-kind, though. If you sell them, you can't get more.

@Rakanrad: It's okay! It's good that you keep posting bug reports! The mod validator doesn't catch everything, so your input is very helpful! And yes, cutting off massive amounts of HP was the point. Since Grimdarkmancy is kinda OP in the sense of magic, I decided to balance it a little by reducing HP. Mages traditionally have very little HP, anyway. n.n

@Vit: Hm, I thought I already put artifact levels.... Lemme fix that.

EDIT: Actually, since what I put in didn't do a thing, I'm not sure if I /can/ put some artifact level on the item. If anyone knows how, please do tell me.​

 

Code:

<item name="Fireman's Axe" iconFile="items/axe_firemans.png" level="6" type="1" >
    <price amount="1260"/>
    <weapon slashing="6" conflagratory="2"/>
    <secondarybuff id="18" amount="1"/> <!-- sight range to see through smoke-->
    <resistbuff conflagratory="2" />  <!-- Turns out resistbuffs don't work on weapons. This is worse than intended till they fix that bug. -->
    <description text="The perfect tool for rescuing kittens from trees."/>
    </item>

This is from Interior Dredmorating, and I've encountered it in some of my runs. And, judging from the price, it should be really a level 6 item, since it sells to you for 1260 (and ID hasn't balance problems).

Code:

<item name="Axcalibur" iconFile="items/axe_axcalibur.png" level="17" type="1" artifact="1">
  <price amount="14563"/>
  <weapon slashing="35" righteous="5"/>
 
  <secondarybuff id="7" amount="10"/>
 
  <description text="You're not entirely sure how this works, but you may or may not have just become the rightwise king of Axland." />
 
  </item> 

And this is from More Dred - item pack. I cannot see the <artifact quality="1"/> line you put into your itemDB.
What does that means?

 

That means these items' artefact quality is equal to 0, but their names won't change when you krong them or get them as buffed-up version from either Inconsequentia or the post-zoo reward (it's the same with "Poncho Without a Name").

 

So item level = artifact level - 1 ?

 

No. Artefact quality does not affect item level.

 

steam workshop release?

 

Ok, fixed it right now.
You just need to put the level="x" into the <item name="[...] line. I've tried giving them level 1 / 5 / 8 / 12 and it worked. Anyway, strange, because I saw that level tag before, in your mod.
Btw, those are pretty powerful weapons, but I can figure that not everyone can craft those, since those blueprints.

 

I can just imagine finding them in brax's store and just blasting your way to the exit. Not that it'll happen all too often.
