@SpiffyMeister The script says "polymorph me into this from the polymorph 2da"
And then magic happens - pretty much.
So, the 2da has all the info on the creature (ALL the info, skins, claws, stats, appearance, everything) and the polymorph script just says "Polymorph into this number - " it then grabs the data from the 2da, and does the thing
@Puffy said in Add a wider variety of scrolls to the shop:
Suggestions and feedback reviewed, with changes implemented.
To add to this - the changes implemented is, all scrolls in the entire game are now findable on quests.
@Puffy You can't modify this, it's hard coded to use harper levels.
This would need to be added in some other way.
(One suggestion is an item with use/day, that is none drop)
Maybe it's the spells description text that is wrong?
By the way, you risk at the least a vault wipe for this.
@sharkinajar I did that, twice.
Some of the stuff I put in there isn't... the same now as when I put it in there. Not sure how.
I also re-scripted the entire treasure system to enable loot to be better distributed instead of having one loot chest everything spawns from so you need to put 5000 wands into it to make certain items "rare"
It just doesn't get done instantly.
Again though, for the sake of transparency, I'll be 100% honest.
This system is fucking boring to make and while it really should have been the first thing I did after release (and was meant to be done before) -it's boring as fuck to make-
I don't enjoy making boring things.
I have interesting things in my life.
That's why it's not done yet, because it was way more interesting to the make the Precept Mental suppressants, or the Greywatch bone breakers.
Also...
So, with the above in our minds, we're currently working on a way to resolve the design issue.
We have a couple of ideas and we're still deciding on the final implementation.
The two main ideas we are considering are:
1
Being able to get a "caravan" from the area just outside the outskirts, which takes you to the area in the middle between Tilverton and Arabel. You can then continue on foot, and get a separate caravan after traversing the rest of the area.
This would mean you have to travel 2 areas on foot (which bandits have access to), and utilises assets already in place - it does mean we'd have to consider various things in those areas however, and couldn't add anything "unique" as such, to the travel.
2
Being able to take the trade route (hitch on a caravan) - You would arrive in one of two new areas (which bandits could also enter) after having gotten off the caravan. You must then traverse those areas, and at the end come out close to your final destination. This allows unique things to be done in these trade route areas. Does not interfere with current areas, but does require creating new assets.
Both ideas should work, and would allow the choice of a player to either take the long road, and go adventuring in the areas between the two locations, or, take the fast route to simply travel between the two.
@sharkinajar said in Shark's suggestions of what should be changed:
@Zool Should be pretty quick to set up an ox-pulled cart that takes people back and forth for 50g or something, no?
Yes... but like I said, that's not what we want.
@Zool said in Upcoming features:
Travel between Arabel and Tilverton
We are painfully aware of the vast amount of travel between Arabel and Tilverton, and as those two areas are a lot more focused now due to the Tilverton Ravens and other things, we want to address this, as the team see's it as a design issue.
We do not want to remove any areas.
We do not want the distance to be unrepresented in game entirely.
We do not want to remove the chance for player/player banditry between these two places. (no portals or other instant travel methods then)
