Addon: Wights(OP obsolete, always get last release!)

[Zonk]

No one else seems to be reporting this...are you sure you don't have other addons enabled that could be interfering?

[Kaja Rainbow]

I am experiencing increased overall slowness with pretty much all plugins, including this one. Makes me suspect it might be something in TOME's handling of plugins itself.

would like to see this be made compatible with infinite500 if possible

What makes it incompatible?

[HousePet]

Infinite500 doesn't seem to be compatible with much.

Hey Zonk, just made a package for Wight support for my Two-Handed Weapon Display for shockbolt tileset Addon. If you like them, you can add them to the wight .teaa (darkgod mentioned something for ingame inclusion for the next release-EDIT: It's alive in the SVN ). Download links are in the 2hweapons thread.

Made also an OldRPG wight tile for daftigod's superb Old RPG Tileset.


How do you find it? I am open to comments and suggestions

Cheers!

Oooh...nice! I should try and release a new version before March, as I've got SOME free time.
Will definetely consider adding two-handed support(and of course, fixing the mindstar display issue).
That tile is not bad, it does remind me a little of a gorilla(the head mostly) though, but again, not bad

Speaking of graphics, I should see if I can change the zone tileset to the 'burned ground'one(think Mark of the Spellblaze) AND get it to round properly with water pools. I always meant to use that tile instead of grass, but grass can currently handle rounding with pools while burned ground can't.

Well, as you mention it, it does look a bit stupid and not too dreadful

So here is v.1.1:





Definitely better, dare I say.
Cheers!

EDIT: Updated the main shockbolt package of the 2hwepons Addon to v.1.1.0, which should be final. Here is the link for the wight tiles: 2hweapons-for-wight-addon-v1-1.zip. Waiting eagerly for the next wight incarnation!

So...been a quite months since my last update.

In addition to Wight NPC which I haven't worked on at all(sorry), anything else that should be done?
I was thinking updating to fit with ToME development, although I haven't played the new releases too much so I'd need hints.

Things like changing the boss and zone NPC because of talent rebalancing or using any new vaults/events that have been added...Thoughts?

It's worth noting that the link to your addon in this thread, actually has an extra /wights on the end, making it an invalid link that takes you to a /access denied/ page.

Being the correct one.

After playing one for a while longer, on the balance side of things, I believe The Draining should be given a 5 or 10 second cooldown, so abilities that remove sustains help counter their ability to shut down talents in close range.

Ah, that is a great point!
The lack of a cooldown is a significant oversight on my part, yes. Considering the cooldown other sustains get, I should perhaps go with 15-20 (Although i think you meant turns and not seconds ) Maybe I should also look into the Draining Resistance effect, it was a bit rushed so I'm not sure if it actually works.


Also, I sometimes check the character vault for Wight characters and it looks like the zone is still too hard - lots of deaths, people not being able to get out of there...
A very easy(though cheap)fix would be, considering the open layout...ensure no skeleton mages(or other ranged attackers)spawn. That should make things better.

[StarKeep]

Ah, no.
Disregard 90% of my deaths, as they are done on 'Intense difficulty,' which makes enemies 2 levels higher, and I open every grave ever.
If anything, remove the more powerful Skeleton Warrior, as their stun is pretty much an instant-death for melee early on, more so than the Mage from my experience. Most mage deaths stem from my over-eagerness to rushing out into a wide open plain, over and over again. :p

[StarKeep]

Didn't actually try Wight with a Beserker until now, and two-handed weapon displays are broken.
Simply shows as an empty-handed model.

Doesn't apply to Staves.

Looks like Zonk has forgotten to add the gfx

You can add them manually if you like - grab them from my olden "2hweapons-for-Wights" package 2hweapons-for-wight-addon-v1-1.zip or copy the files from the ToME skeleton player folder (data\gfx\shockbolt\player\skeleton\) and paste in the Wight addon.

Cheers!
