Icewind Dale: ToEE - Total Conversion

Yeah if you could, use TFE-X to change your resolution to the highest supported, 1600 x whatever it is ( can't remember) and just check if the maps flicker when mousing around the edges. I may have to add a few hundred to each set of maplimits coordinates to fix the issue. Temple+ fixes that issue automatically, but then it also breaks Aspel's wolf problem quest so... *shrug*

There are only supposed to be 2 Orc Shamen, I will look into that issue, and get around to fixing the ai a little more. Also I think the quests are giving out too much XP now, so I will lower all the quest CR's by 1 each and see if that improves the ballance wben compared to the original IWD.

 

Hmm, ok. I'll have to check the GF's big monitor and commandeer her PC for a few hours to make some final adjustments, I think it supports higher res than mine does (will have to check).

While it irk's me that she has a bigger screen than I do, she only has 2 screens, while I have 3...

 

I just noticed, this thread is just over a year old now... Happy first Birthday ToEE:IWD.

 

I've been trying to get the localised sounds for Easthaven working, but only some seem to be working.

I have copied @Gaear and created 'sound cabbages' borrowed the script used for Verbobonc's cabbage population, added the sound files and entries in sound scheme.mes and added the .mobs to the map folder.

Does each cabbage need to have it's own unique "name" number to make them all independantly operational?

Currently only one of the cabbages seems to be making noises while the others are eerily silent.

Any insight or advice to get this working would be awesome.

 

I'll have to see if I can remember anything about those, haha ...

 

Heh, got it working, it would seem I hadn't set up the heartbeat scripts to read the script file.

When I tested though with this script:

Code:

def san_heartbeat( attachee, triggerer ):
   if (attachee.name == 8823):       ##fish line
      if (not game.combat_is_active() and game.global_flags[21]==0):
         for obj in game.obj_list_vicinity(attachee.location,OLC_PC):
            if (in_proximity(attachee, obj)):
               game.global_flags[21]=1
               game.sound(4157, 1)
            game.global_flags[21]=0
            return RUN_DEFAULT

The sounds seemed to start playing repeatedly for every party member, which overlaps and makes a wall of noise, how would I alter the script to limit it to just 1 instance? Adding a time event between to prevent the sound playing repeatedly?

EDIT: Adding global flags for each noise emitting cabbage and timeevents to reset that cabbage's flag worked.

I also wanted to add something near the posts in the water to create the water ripples, tried Black Pearls but it didn't have the desired effect. Perhaps tiny (Giant Gars)?

 

Ah, I figured it was something like that, but haven't delved deep enough into Temple plus' workings to attempt a fix. Thanks for looking into it for me @Sitra Achara.

 

Be careful with ripples so as to avoid a debacle like with Welkwood Bog ... they're actually particle effects like chimney smoke etc. but they don't behave quite the same way, possibly due to elevation concerns. Makes them seem to not work but then show up at odd times and so on. And if you have actual critters making the ripples that are never intended to be seen in-game, one way or another someone will activate them anyway with an AoE or something. If your water actually has depth though, you could try just adding ripple particle effects in WorldEd via the lighting system. Might work.

 

Awesome, I'll try that. I added water even though the area isn't accessable to players to walk on.

Cheers @Gaear

 

Wish granted.

I've made 2 copies, one lowers quest CR by 1 for every quest, the second lowers CR by 2 for every quest. Could you test both @FDR4PREZ and report your findings?

Extract these to the ToEE root folder.
