[1.4.4] Eternal Darkness - A Full Necromancer Rework v2.21

[Einzbern]

Started putting points into Minion Mastery and it seems all the new undead also have an absurd amount of negative life.

Found another bug, although I'm not sure if it has to do with Eternal Darkness or something else. An LUA error pops up when I try to look at a lich's talents:|

I stopped reading after the point where it says Animus Hoarder gives souls on minion death.
That means Insta download for me.

The vanilla Necro is awful against bosses and tough singular fights. Necromancy+ had that effect as well but I didnt like how it switched some of the talents into different trees.

Will give this a shot once I have time.

This addon hasn't been completely abandoned. Work and other Tome stuff means I haven't had time, but I'll continue to support this with bugfixes and the like, and should get time to look at the outstanding issues this weekend.

WARNING - WILL BREAK CURRENT SAVES

v2.17

- Should now be compatible with Deathknight
- Improved code compatibility in general via less superloads
- Fixed a display bug with Lich talents
- Surge of Undeath no longer grants extreme amounts of die_at


Let me know if it's still not playing well with Deathknight or other mods. Need to fix Deathknight next, hopefully will have time to do that tomorrow.

So, since you updated everything, I started working on a patch addon that combines the changes from Eternal Darkness and Necromancy+ (and Deathknight.)
I have most of it working, but how/where did you define the default dark empathy thing? (Also, a lot of the minions don't seem to have Blighted Summoning talents defined, unless I'm missing something. Which is possible.)

[Razakai]

Been a while since I looked at the code, but I think it's this bit in the hooks:

Code: Select all

	if data.src and data.src:getEntityKind() == "actor" and data.src.summoner and data.src.necrotic_minion and target.summoner and type ~= DamageType.RETCH then
		if target.summoner == data.src.summoner then
			data.dam = 0
		end
	end

Looking at it now there's prob a better way of doing that but oh well, it works.

And yes, you might be correct, it looks like only skeletons have their talent set. Will look into that, might have just incorrectly copied the code.

[astralInferno]

Hmm. I can't see a reason why necromancy would be overwriting that.
...aha, inter-minion damage is based on the necrotic_minion_be_nice value, which is being overwritten with dark empathy*0.2, so that part's solved...

Edit: The River of Souls sound effect gets reeeeaaaally annoying after a while. Also I think I found a bug that isn't my fault; a rare with Black Tentacles bought up an error on line 2435 when it tried to call global checkMaxSummon.

Here's the lua with Black Tentacles.

Fixed in latest version, just uploaded.

With Eternal Darkness I get a Lua error in 1.4.0 upon starting a new game, before I make a character.

I'll look at that soon then. Probably something in the Darkstaff code.

[Razakai]

New version, v2.19! Should work with v1.4.1, let me know if you see anything odd.

[Thexare]

It's disabling my online profile, specifically citing this mod. To be exact, "due to invalid addon hash (tome-eternaldarkness-1.4.1)." So that seems odd.

Definitely counts as odd. Will check and see if I get the same error.

Happened to me to when i exited the game and reloaded character (happened before at character gen).
