[Released!] Half-Orc Race Version 0.0.6 "Home Sweet Home"

[Henbrio]

Hi.

I enjoy playing the halforc It is a good feeling and i feel the connection to garkul.

There is a problem I have experienced with the levelup of "Tough Upbringing"

Lua Error: /engine/interface/ActorTalents.lua:836: attempt to index local 'p' (a nil value)
At [C]:-1 __index

this error happens in the levelup screen when you select to allocate a generic talent point to the tough upbringing skill.

The talent point appears to be spent and you get an error message, tough upbringing does not show an increase in talent points until you close and reopen the levelup screen. Whereafter there appears to have been a point allocated into tough upbringing, while your pool of spendable generic talent points will not be depleted. This seems to effectively give you 5 free generic talent points.

This bug might be connected with another bug experienced while walking on lava. My possibly unfounded suspicion comes from a previous experience with spamming lua errors on lava and trap damage experienced only on games where i had experienced an lua error in the levelup screen. Sadly this occured more than a year ago and i forget which addons were involved that time. I have posted the error about the lava error in the turtle addon thread because the turtle addon superload was conveniently named in the lua error message.

Here is the list of addons i have currently active when experiencing this bug:

Anyway, Looking forward to more on this mod.
I was thinking , since garkul had so many wives and children, it could be the case that you are a descendant of garkul. it would be a fun idea to play with, I prefer to change the name of tough upbringing to something evocative of this connection to garkul. since it has a high level requirement it seems to fit, unlike the tough upbringing. and if you die before you rech the level requirement it seems you were no descendant of garkul afterall.

Fixed. I swear this addon is trying to make me look bad with simple errors like this.

Hrm, interesting thought, will have to delibrate on this.

Easy name change-"Tough Ancestry". Easy but boring.

"Garkul's Successor"
"Champion of the Orcs"
"Devourer's Strength"

And perhaps add in a little hidden code to Half-Orcs so the chance of spawning the Garkul artifacts goes up by a rather large amount.

First bit's easy. Second bit I'd have no clue how to even start.

EDIT:
Asked around: Got told; Don't. It's not worth the hassle.

Clearly, Half-Orcs should spawn with them, then.

That's a shame. Ah well, not like it's a big deal.

I am playing another halforc with the new version.

It seems I am experiencing a bug with the interaction between tough upbringing skill and heroism infusion.

Ever since i put a skill point into that skill, when i use the +16 to stats heroism infusion i get 25 con from it and then after the heroism expires my con goes down by only 8. the other affected stats behave as they should.


There is no lua error associated with the curse of garkul.

Also something else is increasing my constitution now. It could be caused by diseases that affect con.

Figured this one out, had the wrong code put in and it wasn't treating it as a temporary increase.

The above affected the below. (in other words, it was just giving you more con every time you leveled, which I wasn't even aware was possible. Haha.)

Fixed these, will release a bugfix after I add a few more things in.

Welp. I've decided to completely revamp the first talent. This is what I get for thinking too hard. Might be a bit longer to next release.

[Trea]

So uh.. Update.. I kinda went crazy and decided to create a new starter zone for orcs. So this will take a lot longer than I thought.

Also new world map NPCs

...also half-orcs are now hated by everybody until you do a small quest given by each player faction's map NPC... this could take a while. Raincheck.

Might introduce a new artifact or two. Figured out how to make the human robes work on the half-orc treating them as human too.

[Trea]

Killed bugs.
Created half-orc's home. Can only be accessed once for now, will fix this later.
Renamed Tough Upbringing to Garkul's Successor
Added misc things that I forgot to note down.
Removed Survival instinct, shifted talents down and added Devourer's Strength as the new third tier talent:

After a while of contemplation, I'm not going to come back to this addon, so I give whomever wants to work on this addon, permission. Feel free to use my code for whatever. My only stipulation is that I am given some credit for the addon. Have fun
