Luchaire's Arcanum Magick System Revision

[copied from the other thread]

Cool. Thanks, DU.

I've played a LOT since doing the mod, and it seems to be virtually problem free. Which is to say, the spells themselves work perfectly as intended, but there is occasion weirdness in the module itself where certain spell "effects" are scripted in. For example, when doing the Crystal Ball quest for Madame Toussade... when you give the cursed ball to the fake gypsy (whose name eludes me), the game intends for her to be killed by a Quench Life. Regrettably, what now happens is that she does indeed die and the quest is complete-able, but the visual effect you get is the one for Familiar, since I replaced the former Quench Life with that spell. Thus, you have a familiar suddenly floating in the room that is not attached to anybody and will do nothing but float in the air - not critical and not quest-breaking, just annoying. And without modifying the module itself, unavoidable.

But if one can live with things of that nature, the end result is a (in my opinion) more fun spell system. And having your alignment slowly shift to evil for repeatedly casting spells like Soulwound and Soul Cage is priceless.

EDIT: Also note, between the time I posted that list of spell changes and the actual initial upload of the mod, I made a few final tweaks, so there may be slight discrepancies between that listing and actual damage/cost numbers.

 

Soooo....

Is anybody using this? Comments? Suggestions?

Hate mail even?

wow do you guys play arcanum? i mean i can't find anyone else who still plays it part from me and also i can't find anyone who'll join my multiplayer or anyone whose created their own multi player

 

No, not the multiplayer again...

 

lol well i think it would be good......



why's my name in red?

don't answer that question i figured it out oh yeah and if ya ever do go on multiplayer my games called "Krystian" also the avatar is only temporary while i figure out how to upload my own on

 

firstly i did use the edit button second damn! i want my own avatar third my name was in red and fourth your oppinion is that it isn't good and your oppinion doesn't affect my judgement i think it would be good and that's that, if you don't like it fine the fact that you don't like it doesn't make it bad or mean that other people have to think the same way as you

 

well i have tried but no ones ever joined my host game and i can't seem to connect to the internet multiplayer everytime i creat an account it says "cannot create account already exists" even when i have a name like this "kjfdhgdj" which no one else could have it says that so i haven't played multiplayer with anyother real players lol

 

Mr Krystian, you have provided us with extremely valuable information; thanks to you, we can confirm that Arcanum MP suc--- I mean, doesn't work properly and, what's more important, never will.
End of the story.
