Voidslime (Demented class Oozemancer)

[Preytor]

Hello hello, first time addon maker that's been plugging away in the discord. Please feel free to play this early (should be fully functional) version of the class and direct any feedback and bug reports here. As in the description the idea was to create a relatively strong/easy playstyle class to appeal to people who find oozemancer's survivability and beginner friendliness ideal. There are a few talents that are analogues to oozemancer talents with some altered function but also many completely original talents.

https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/voidslime_class

current to-do
-Create the locked generic category infest nature, about converting mindstar stats and letting you use a magic psiblades alternative
-add all the missing sounds
-fix egregiously out of line numbers
-watch for any remaining major errors
-create the voidslime starting zone

Most Recent Version Changelog

As an occasional addon lurker, it would be nice to see class/tree description. This will also help in a long run at the balancing stage

[0x324927891]

"Infest The Natural" talent tree is empty, just like the voidstars.lua file, but it's still listed on the levelup screen.

[0x324927891]

Hmm. Entire Liquid Body talent tree depends on voidlings, but they start spawning with "Infest reality" talent available on level 8. Plus, "Focus void" is level 4 talent improving those voidlings.
Wouldn't it make more sense for voidlings be unlocked before any talents depending on them?
Edit: nevermind, I noticed "Dissociate host" talent lmao.

Liking the class, looking forward to when it gets finished.


It should mention somewhere that you can't use infusions.
Cores try to trigger against enemies on the world map.
Assert Superposition and Reclaim Liquid should swap icons.

Hit an error:

It appears that somehow a voidling left the map.

Just ran into this one myself. The relevant line of the Spell Frenzy timed effect is:

Code: Select all

charges = function(self, t)	return eff.power*eff.charges end,

Ouch… In the meantime, I've patched UI Hardening and Bugnibus to catch the error and keep it from killing the UI.

[timechef]

I think something's still wonky with Spell Frenzy. Getting errors in the log: [UI_HARDEN] error in effect EFF_VO_SPELLFRENZY .charges(): /data-voidslime_class/timed_eff.lua:180: attempt to index global 'eff' (a nil value)

Also, getting 1300% spell speed.

[Preytor]

sorry for the absence, back to work. With the help of others I've gotten a lot of functional bugs cleared out and the class should feel much more polished and hopefully good for full playthroughs. Talent icons are also colored in now (infest the natural is intended to be empty, I need to finish that category and my desired implementation is too complex for me to nail down rn)

[Preytor]

Another new version is up, gonna start editing the original post with changelogs, shoulda been doing that. Big notable is that the frenzy errors and crashes mentioned above are completely fixed now. Khaodissociation was rewritten to solve some other major bugs. Disabled npc voidslimes since they seemed to be causing some unforseen issues, making the class stable and player fun is most important rn so I can work on getting them back up later
