Had an idea rattling around in my head. Instead of Ordnance which I never used except for the torso for the skill and +skills...what if instead you could craft a relic that had +skills and an item skill. Probably for torso armor only.What do you think? A little crafting but it doesn't lock in your choice for armor except it has to accept relics, so uniques are out.Maybe it could go on amulets instead. Or craft an amulet instead of a relic that had a tinkerer suffix. Is there a must have amulet in TQ? Usually the ammy slot is to fill in resistances in my experience.
A few weeks ago, I was thinking about how to improve performance in Atlantis and from what people said, figured that I should add proper ragdolls for Atlantis monsters (starting with those infamous serpentoids) even if it meant reusing existing animations that don't perfectly suit those.I experimented a bit, but as it appears you changed like the whole roster and it worked, I'd be interested to see which anm you picked or changed for that matter.Is there any link for the mod ? (or could you share only the records/xpack3/creatures .dbr + modified .anm ?)
I always feel self conscious when someone asks to use my work in their mod like "Hey, wait a minute...I was just fooling around with this stuff"Anyway, I zipped the anm tables that I am actually using and attached to this post.I used dissolve on all of them I think, as it hides how the death animations aren't actually perfect. The Merfolk use the medusaminion death anims which leaves their mesh floating a meter in the air, but if you dissolve them fast enough it still looks ok. The serpentoids are harder, I'm thinking of adding a blood mist or splatter as it's just not very good. I definitely used dissolve on them.
Things are going great otherwise. I am playtesting a Druid again and just got to Atlantis in epic. I have the game in "windowed" fullscreen mode and the ArtManager open on my other monitor so I can edit as I find things in-game. I could never go back to the single monitor days to do any kind of computer work, browsing the web or watching videos yeah, but work? More monitors is better.I am keeping the custom skill file that's in every bosses file (except Typhon, that crashes my game every time) because the new file doesn't have racial defense and I need that to make pets less effective against bosses. But I am stripping out all the HP and damage and everything else from my boss file and just leaving the race defense. Haven't tested it yet, but I think the new boss global file will need some buffing for bosses heh heh.
