[1.3.1] Magebow class

[grayswandir]

Couldn't you give the addon a late priority and then do:

Code: Select all

descriptor_choices = getBirthDescriptor("world", "Maj'Eyal").descriptor_choices,

That way it will automatically make all the normally available choices available.

Hello,

Although I don't have an error log. It seems that whenever I play this class and hit Lv. ~38 in the east, when I enter a dungeon (specifically the prides, not sure if it happens in other ones) the dungeon generation glitches and I receive a black screen and am unable to do anything. I can sort of fix this by going into developer mode and teleporting my character to a new location, but that specific dungeon/instance remains unplayable so it isn't really an option (plus dev mode invalidates my save. . .)

I do really enjoy this class and would like to finish a run on it if you ever fix this bug! If you're taking any suggestions on this class I'd be glad to pitch some ideas.

Oh yeah, I'm not sure if you meant for Magical Throw to stack with holding a Bow but it does. Just a heads up.

v18 is out after a >1 year break...

- Magical Feed buffed: Now it drains resources at raw talent level, and gives it at effective talent level.
- Code cleanup: Elemental/Disable gets its numbers from the right place and displays it in the info. Magical Throw's mana drain no longer uses hooks.
- Superloads updated for 1.3.1, it now works.
- The inventory quiver has been updated to match the general increase in power. It's still the best possible random elm arrows, but the best is better now.
- Elemental/Special shot updated. Greatly increased damage, and special bonuses based on Elemental Arrows' level (95% most damaging element instead of an equal split, range 7 instead of 0, 100% resistance penetration).

To Do:
- Add a bonus for Elemental/Special shot at level 5
- Add bonuses across the board for Ethereal/Special Shot.
- Somehow fix the talents' speed display while using Magical Throw
- Switch Magical Feed, Elemental Arrows, and Ethereal Arrows to callbacks instead of hooks.
- Fix AI tactical AI weights, targeting, and maybe add new talents so they can use the sustains effectively.

Hi there lukep,

So I've been trying out the updated magebow class. First I want to say that when I originally played it, even with several issues, it was my favorite archery class ever in a game. Now on to the updated version... I can't play it. Everything I do throws an error; right-clicking on skills, attacking a hostile, 'm' key, 'c' key(that has been happening for a little while, but the error is different now). All I'm saying is there is either a big addon conflict or some messed up code, and I hope you can get it cleared up because I would love to play your class again.

Magebow v19 out

- Fixed compatibility issues, hopefully. The two superloads now call back the base functions instead of replacing them.
- Fixed a bug with Magical Draw always giving 70% DEX/50% MAG scaling regardless of level. Now it properly gives 70% DEX/40% STR/10% MAG at level 1, 70/30/20 at lvl 2, and so on.

...I had plans for an entire class based around a mage who uses arrows without actually having a bow.

Well on the bright side I can look at your code and work out how! On the other hand there's not much point now.

Do it! There's always room for more classes, even more mana-using, non-bow-wielding, archer/mage hybrid classes. Everyone has their own ideas, and it would be a shame to lose out on yours just because I made a class with some superficial similarities.

Make a mage that uses a bow without actually having arrows?

[Micbran]

Make a Mage that shoots bows without arrows!

[lukep]

v20 out.

- minor bugfix. You can now look at bows without throwing an error.

[kmkenpo]

Designing a Mage class who carries a bow and magically creates arrows as needed is cool as crud!!!

BUT, what about...

Designing a Mage class who finds arrows and magically creates bows instead?

Yeah, on second thought, maybe stick with the original idea

Have a blessed day,

When trying to make a wraith magebow, I got an error on dying. Have tried it with all other addons turned off. It's a very short error:

I'm not sure why this piece of code is involved in the death sequence at all. It's quite irritating, given I usually run exploration. X_x

Edit: Got round to checking. Happens with Skeleton too, so it's not the wraith addon.
Edit: only happens when Magical Draw is leveled.
