Nullpack 2019-02-21: Gravitic Infantry

[Doctornull]

I found the place where you were seeing that Lua error, and removed an unnecessary check.

Now v5 is uploaded -- everyone, if you picked up v4, please throw it away and get v5!

[Avernite]

Nullpack v4 released. I put the notes on the major changes in the first post.

All classes are now playable!

@Avernite - I haven't changed Reckless Invocation yet, it's up next now that all the classes have their first vital custom trees written and working.

It says the Creep is still incomplete. Is that true? Of all the classes I wanted to try just him

UPD
Tried heavy instead.
Omg!
its a mix of 2 my fav chars: melee TW and heavy armored PM.
Epic!

The Creep's low-level play ought to work, but his high-level options currently suck. I wouldn't be satisfied playing this class through the whole game, so to me it's incomplete.

I'm working on a new high-level tree or two for him.

Awesome, glad you like!

The goal behind the Heavy was to make a TW-like class which was used for melee, in spite of its fantastic mobility.

[Doctornull]

Bugfix: v6 released, please update when you have a chance.

Also in v6 I've adjusted the costs for some Advanced Staff Combat talents.

[Doctornull]

About the new Heavy:

After gathering feedback (and playing it extensively myself), it seemed that there was too much starting overlap with the Bulwark, so the Heavy gained a new tree -- and lost 3 starting trees, no more Combat Techniques or Combat Veteran, and Shield Defense is now locked.

The new tree ought to complement the class's mobility, and it's intended to work well with the Gravity tree (locked).

If you do buy Shield Defense, note that the new tree's shield attacks WILL scale up with Shield Expertise, in a similar way to how the damage in Shield Offense scales up.

[Doctornull]

V8 is better than v7, because v7 has a bug that can cause your character to lose a turn when he uses one of the talents.

Oops!

Otherwise they're the same.

[MisiuPysiu]

Hey Doctornull,

Great work with this addon!
I love the new Heavy class. Many ways to spend your class and generic points, diversity, all I like.
I hope you will keep updating the addon with new tools and talents and for the classes.

Cheers:)

[Doctornull]

Cheers, MisiuPysiu! Please let me know if you find any problems with the Heavy.


The next classes I'm working on is a high-mobility magical Brawler type, limited to only humans, which calls out to their creation myth lore as the fire-born children of Gerlyk.

[Doctornull]

v9 is uploaded and ready for play.

To see the new class, pick a Human race (Higher or Cornac) and then open the Warrior group.

Enjoy!

[Sradac]

You just love to give us too many awesome classes to actually play, dont you?

Thanks Avernite!

Unfortunately it looks like this is a bug in HousePet's Midnight addon:

Code: Select all

/data-midnight/talents/celestial/moon-magic.lua:149: in function </data-midnight/talents/celestial/moon-magic.lua:143>

... is the addon error location.

Post that exact same log in his Midnight thread, it'll be very helpful to him I hope.

Cheers!

Ye i though the same after I posted this and looked thro the lines.

Nullpack v10:

Edit: This release may require infinite500 addon, please skip this version if you don't use i500, sorry for the inconvenience.

- Fine-tuning the Ember of Gerlyk custom tree. Now it uses Dexterity for its prerequisite (so you have an unambiguous stat path in the very early game) and it helps with your Spellpower, to compensate for the lack of a staff. Also fixed a bug which didn't give the Ember the +1 lifemod in its description.

- The Creep ought to be playable! I've given up on Gesture of Pain working with Predator for now, so it starts out as a Dagger-based class with the option of going for Mindstar training if you want later, since it's a Dex / Will / Cun class. I have plans for a high-level talent tree to fill out the "horror" theme that the Creep has going, so expect that to happen eventually in a future Nullpack.

[Doctornull]

So it turns out I snipped some code from pre-1.0.5 and it worked because I was using the Infinite500 addon. (Which is a great addon and everyone should use it.)

BUT, this meant that some of my code didn't work with the base 1.0.4 game, and that's a problem.

v11 fixes this problem.
