Null Tweaks 2014-12-04: Rocks and Stones

I know ive done it before, but how do i pull the log file?

[Doctornull]

The log file's name is te4_log.txt

It's usually located near the game executable.

I've been trying to find the log myself. As far as I can tell, on Linux it doesn't exist, you just redirect the console output into a file (or use 'tee' to both log it and display it) if you want a logfile.

That's interesting, post a bug about it? I know DarkGod likes Linux.

That used to be the case for OS/X but now there is a logfile created, so I'd be a bit surprised if Linux is different.

Disabled latest version of Weird Wyrmic, that was causing one crash for sure.

[Doctornull]

Thanks, yeah, grayswandir and I know about that incompatibility -- we're not sure exactly what's causing it, but hopefully we'll figure it out.

[grayswandir]

Alright, think I found the error.

It happens when there's a badly coded talent (usually one that deals with summons), and an NPC tries to learn one of the inscriptions not in the basic game.

I don't think it has anything to do with weird wyrmic, since I don't deal with summoning at all. However, you can easily get a false positive - the game just has to randomly pick all original inscriptions for the npcs in question, and no error will happen.

Have you added any new addons that deal with summoning? For me, it was the new reaver one.

[Doctornull]

Alright, so from what grayswandir said on IRC, basically if you have a line like:

local NPC = require "mod.class.NPC"

... and it's NOT INSIDE a function, then you're doing something horribly wrong.

Nulltweaks has none of those, and Nullpack puts all 3 NPC invocations inside talent functions, so at least my stuff is behaving correctly. Whew.

[spiralrazor]

Ahhh...the worms...got it. Odd how that caused a conflict.

I've noticed that since the release of this addon the Healing Infusion has received a reasonably significant buff -- most notably, it is now instant-cast. Consider updating the Reconstruction Rune to mirror it?

The healing infusion buff was modeled after my rune improvements, so that's just parity if it were well designed, but I don't like several things about the healing infusion design.

1/ Non-interaction with Fungus. My runes are intended interact with Fungus as expected, so the energy cost is worth it. Giving Wyrmics a reason to go Arcane is one of my goals, plus I have plans for another Fungus-using addon class.

2/ The energy costs for wounds (crippling especially) means that paying a turn now is often worth it to heal, but I don't want it to be a no-brainer.

3/ I want these runes to be useful with Aegis, as a tactical substitute for Arcane Restoration & Healing Light. That means they should scale similar to those, and cost the same energy.

4/ Runes are spells, and there are several ways to get spellcasting speed boosts, and some classes (e.g. Reavers) have fun things which happen when you cast a spell that takes a turn.

[Doctornull]

Earth / Stone Skin
Now grants +10% armor hardiness, and also a flat damage reduction which scales from 1 to 20 (at 5/5 and 100 Spellpower), with a maximum of 35. This talent should now be worthwhile to a variety of builds, including Archmagi and Stone Wardens and Arcane Blades alike.

Monster Improvement
Throw Boulder now has a cooldown of 5 (was 3), and using Throw Boulder puts Throw Boulder on cooldown 1 for all visible allies. So, if you see three Snow Giant Boulder Throwers, expect three turns of boulders rather than eating three boulders at once.

This is clever as hell. Could you do the same thing for Wretchlings? (and switch Acid Skin to something that doesn't mess up resting for melee characters)
