The Trench Strider: Celestial Melee/Caster of Moon and Sea

[Scol]

Beat the Shore tooltip says it should make shields require MAG to equip while in fact it makes them require CUN.

[astralInferno]

Tooltip is wrong. Will clarify!

Happened during zone transition (with infinite loading time, error found in te4_log file) from world map to lumberjack camp

[astralInferno]

that's... odd. I know that that talent works fine when the player uses it.

...best guess is that the game explodes when it tries to apply 'show special talents' to an npc, as. they don't have a talent choosing dialogue. If this is /correct/, I have a fix incoming...

[astralInferno]

Fixed in 1.4
Hopefully fixed the lua error caused by the show-exotic-mastery line, which I /think/ showed up when an NPC tried to do it. NPCs no longer try to do that.
Beat the Shore now specifies Shields are cun based.

If you get that error again, please tell me, and I'll consult competent people.

(FTR: If I get reports of gamebreaking bugs, I'll put out a patch ASAP, but balance things and updates have to wait for me to have time/motivation/energy. Tooltip stuff isn't worth a new patch, but is low energy so gets added in to bugfixes.)

I've barely started playing, but it seems that respec doesn't play nice with Ocean Step. I tried putting five points in it because I was curious as to how the Exotic proficiency unlock would work, then I kicked it back down to two points afterward.

With those two points, I now have 700% movement speed, have 1800 Air, and still have Exotic proficiency unlocked. I'm guessing that isn't what's supposed to happen!

Looks like somebody forgot to add an unlearn function.

[Celestialer]

Celestial/Heavens first talent Sun and Moon says that "learning this talent enhances some of your darkness/cold talents to also benefit light/fire". Can you clarify what this means? I can't see any changes after taking it.

[astralInferno]

Looks like somebody forgot to add an unlearn function.

It doesn't HAVE an unlearn function. It's passives. X_x It was done wrong, though, I largely fixed it.

I then spent 30 minutes trying to jury rig a solution for exotic weapon hiding before realising that every other talent that changes what stats you equip with is just no_unlearn_last from the beginning. So. It's becoming that.

Celestial/Heavens first talent Sun and Moon says that "learning this talent enhances some of your darkness/cold talents to also benefit light/fire". Can you clarify what this means? I can't see any changes after taking it.

It benefits the support talents, like Darkest Depths and Replenishing Tides.

1.5
Ocean Step can't be unlearnt, in line with similar talents. If you COULD unlearn it, the movement speed/air would go away.

I tried to fix Deepwater. I failed utterly. I have a Cold Fusion replacement lined up, though.

What went wrong with Deepwater?

[astralInferno]

I can't get it to not damage the user.
...also it lags the game massively, since I tried, which doesn't help.

[Razakai]

Easy. For an example, see my Corpse Explosion talent for Deathknight - similar thing as it creates a field effect that doesn't damage friendlies (in fact, heals them).

What you need in your INFERNO_DARK_DEPTHS damage type is this:

Code: Select all

src:reactionToward(target) < 0

That, when given a target, checks that it's an enemy. So I think your new damage type would be something like this:

Code: Select all

newDamageType{
	name = "blinding darkness", type = "INFERNO_DARK_DEPTHS",
	projector = function(src, x, y, type, dam, state)
		state = initState(state)
		useImplicitCrit(src, state)
		local target = game.level.map(x, y, Map.ACTOR)
		if target and src:reactionToward(target) < 0 then
			local realdam = DamageType:get(DamageType.DARKNESS).projector(src, x, y, DamageType.DARKNESS, dam / 2, state),
			DamageType:get(DamageType.COLD).projector(src, x, y, DamageType.COLD, dam / 2, state)

			if target and rng.percent(25) then
				if target:canBe("blind") then
					target:setEffect(target.EFF_BLINDED, 3, {src=src, apply_power=src:combatSpellpower()})
				else
					game.logSeen(target, "%s resists!", target.name:capitalize())
				end
			end
		end
		return realdam
	end,
}

Can't test as I'm at work, but give it a shot.

[astralInferno]

...I forgot I hadn't uploaded that.

Well, Deepwater had code to interact with a Midnight talent, but sadly that made it run /really slowly/ when combined with the 'don't hurt friendlies', so...

1.6
Deepwater no longer hurts you or allies, but will no longer summon horrors with Pitch Black.
Cold Fusion has been replaced with Lunar Prowess. This should NOT break saves - Cold Fusion still exists in the code.
