Class: Bombardier

[Werekracken]

A new Bombardier class which is a variant of the Alchemist. Bombardiers forgo using a golem in order to focus more on the effects of their bombs and their own combat viability.

- No golem.
- Bombs never hurt self or allies.
- Flame bombs can stun, Ice bombs can slow and freeze, Acid bombs can disarm, and Lightning bombs can daze.
- Alchemy infusion sustain cooldowns are reduced to 10 and the usage speed made instant to encourage switching.
- The second talent in each alchemy tree is now a passive bomb effect that buffs self and allies or, in the case of the Explosives tree, debuffs enemies. The Smoke Bomb talent from the flame-alchemy tree was removed for one of these passive bomb effects.

Initial release

Trying out your class with a Shalore.

Attacking Spellblaze Crystal with an escort hovering nearby. Attacking with "Throw Bomb", "Arcane Strike" and "Channel Staff". Died a couple of times. With the last attack, Channel Staff, against the boss, the LUA error popped on screen. When I cleared the pop up, my character was no longer visible, health at -0, the date kept incrementing a lot faster than expected in log and the Escort, out of view, died. I also can't properly exit to main menu or exit game; for both, it just returns me to the game screen (with the date rapid-fire increasing still)

Wow, that's wild. Not sure why Channel Staff would cause an error in the Shockwave Bomb talent description (bombardier-explosives.lua:270), but I'll dig into the log and try to figure it out. Thanks for reporting it.

[Werekracken]

This looks very similar to this bug that was reported a few years ago: viewtopic.php?p=234400#p234400

The engine calls saveUUID when a character is saved to upload data to te4.org.
saveUUID uses dumpToJSON which gets all info about a character including all talents, which is when it hit the error in the talent description.
The talent Shockwave Bomb is a direct copy of the same talent from base game alchemist with no changes.
Looking at the code I can see how the local 'dam' (a nil value) could happen if you are out of ammo, but I have been unable to reproduce this as alchemist or bombardier.

I think there might be an issue the local 't' value getting emptied in death before the dumpToJSON, but I don't know why it wouldn't barf consistently.
I'm sorry that's as much as I can tell about what's going on here.

If it happens again and has bombardier in the stacktrace please report it again and I will petition for some help with this.

Hello, I really like the mod you made, I translated it into Chinese, thanks

This translation only talents and birth data.

I also put them on google driver:

That's super cool gooder1029.
Keep up the good work!

There were no text changes, so no need to update the translated version.
