ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Installed but wasn't currently playing the class -- it got put on an NPC, apparently.

This was an EoR campaign with a bunch of other addons.



I was entering a level (the treetop in the Primal Forest). After the error, the level was blank -- generated as "empty" space, no features, no way out.

Check out my addons: Nullpack (classes), Null Tweaks (items & talents), and New Gems fork.

Thanks for the report. Added a sanity check to make sure x and y are found before applying the visual.

v1.1.7
---
ToME 1.6 compatibility (updated weapon mastery numbers for Bark Fist and Mudslinger)

v1.1.8

ToME 1.6.3 Archery compatibility.

So glad to see this one come along for 1.6+++.

I love this little guy.

Thanks

Also, this:

v1.1.9
---
[Seed Pod]
Fixed a bug with the Seed Sown effect that could occur if an actor other than the source of the effect killed it.

[Ancestral Life, Bark Guard]
Updated all area effect healing (such as from Shineleaf or Green Thumb) to count as a direct heal, allowing them to interact with Ancestral Life and Bark Guard. (Note that Ancestral Life does not count over-healing for calculating energy gain.)

I'm currently working on a v.1.2.0 which is a fairly chunky update. The primary goal is to allow any build to be available from level 1 while encouraging/requiring more investment in tertiary stats for melee and ranged builds. Minor additional goals include simplifying some code (Bark Guard is a mess), some number tweaks, updating particle effects, and fiddling with some fixed arts to add Grove Keeper-specific talent mastery bonuses and the like.

To the ends of the first goal, all weapon trees (melee, ranged, mindstar) will be unlocked at birth, but melee and ranged trees will require str or dex respectively. Force of Nature requirements will be based on the higher of your str or dex. Many talents in the weapon trees will be reworked to have str and/or dex scaling. The work for this, as well as most of the minor goals, has been completed and I am in the processes of testing all of the changes and how it plays.

While I continue to test these changes, I'm also going to be considering exactly which artifacts I want to fiddle with and what bonuses I want to give them. In the meantime, I would be grateful for any suggestions and recommendations for this part of the update.

Also, the talent re-shuffling, stat requirement changes, and code simplification will all contribute to this update being a save-breaking one. Consider this a heads-up: the next update for this addon will be incompatible with your games in progress.

I can't be sure how much longer this will take, but given the large number of changes I need to test and the as-yet unimplemented fixed art changes, I'd expect at least another week or two. I will post again after everything is finished and give a warning of a few days before I upload the update. Reminder that old versions can always be downloaded from te4.org if you need to finish a run after the update does go live.

All changes have been implemented, including the addition of relevant talent masteries to a number of thematically appropriate fixed arts. Still in the process of testing how things play. Early game feels pretty smooth for all builds. Mid and late are going to have to be tested in a more theoretical manner via dev mode; full runs take too long. Another week or so, probably, but I'll make sure to post with a few days warning before uploading, as I said.

Made a few more changes than I had planned, and I had a bit less time to work on them than I had anticipated, but I think I have everything where I want it now and I haven't encountered any bugs. Unless something unexpected happens in the mean time, I will probably upload the new version this weekend.

Got some neat bugs in a recent attempt to play, as the class looked neat.

Foremost, I could both hit my summoned shineleaf plant and gain XP from it; granted, I haven't checked while playing other summon-having classes to see if they get this, too, but it seemed notable as it was enough to level my character at one point, lol

And then there's the LUA errors.

These two errors happened when I attempted to use the spore ability you get at level 1; the first when targeting with the mouse, and the second when targeting with the keyboard. They completely prevented me from being able to even use the ability if I had anything targeted other than the ground.



The Shineleaf plant would also throw errors if any creatures were in its radius; unlike the spore power, it actually did stuff while throwing its errors. It mentioned zomnibus - I haven't tried running this mod without that one yet, but it might be worth trying... But even then, if it requires that I don't use zomnibus, I'll probably just not use this one instead.


That's it. Sorry for the gargantuan post, I was really excited to try the class out from reading its abilities - hopefully any of this feedback is actionable. :3

v1.2.2
---

[General]
Some vfx fixes. Bark Guard will now update your moddable tile only when Guard power drops to 0 or rises above 0, instead of everytime you act, constantly flipping your tile (dunno how I missed that this was happening before).
Muslinger vfx should now position properly on the hand regardless of racial tile height.
Bark Fist has a new vfx, distinct from mudslinger.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the reports whorlbinder

The second one you reported on te4.org is due to a recent change and should be an easy fix once I can get to it. I thought I had thoroughly tested the changes, but I clearly missed something. Sorry you've had such a rough start with the class

Plants should definitely not give you experience, I'll have to look into that. I must have missed a flag somewhere in their creation method. Should be easy enough to fix when I'm taking care of the other bug. Thanks again, I probably never would have caught that one myself

v1.2.3
---

Fixed a typo in Bark Guard moddable tile attachment handling that could cause an error when dealing Nature damage while Guard power was depleted if you knew Lichen. Thanks again for that report

Updated the description of Nature's Protector to reflect updated crit shrug behavior.

v1.2.9 aka I may have mistaken a 3 for an 8 when I was updating the init file
---

Damage modifier conversion for gloves and gauntlets now has a cleaner implementation and properly applies to Stone Gauntlets of Harkor'Zun.
