Pet resistance ended up completely  static.

As I added skills and equipment bonuses over time, I just kept lowering the epic and legendary bonuses (in petgamebalanceattributes especially) until they are gone now. No penalty increases either.

Whatever resistances a pet starts with is all they have unless they have a secondary skill you add points to. Every pet has it's own resistance file and it's in their skill tree at level 1 across all levels of the pet files. Most have a "weakness" penalty to one or two damage types.

Keep in mind that side quest resistance bonuses (well, almost all of them) grant a resistance bonus to pets as well.

EDIT: Yes, all spiders that cast webs. The ones that shoot a ball used to spawn an invisible pet with a buff radius toggle skill. I changed it to a pet that dies instantly and has the new web skill set in their ondeath ability.

Yeah, I just decided to make a new mesh using the blackwidow and add the Boss Aura effect. I found that there's a texture at the very bottom of the spider directory blackwidowqueen which I used for the main boss and the web slingers are plain black widow but all have the aura effect.

Anyone notice I changed the webs skill on the spiders? I made a skill_defensivewall like Rune Mines and an AoE projectile using the cobweb2 mesh so that there's no more of that summons living after their master died bug so you can complete the quest.

Oops! Yes, I forgot...and forgetting things is going to get worse before it gets better, I will be 58 this month lol

Okay, the Levels.arc went from 1.4GB to 0.47GB. lol, you'd think it would be optimized automatically, like "What if we had something that automate redundant tasks, like some seried of computer commands that would execute without having to manually run it every time?" Wow, what a crazy idea!

Should finish uploading the compacted version in another 15 minutes from now.

* facepalm *

As long as the skill has 1 point in it, it will be accessible to the player as all skill trees exist in the player files simultaneously. Duh.

Thanks for reminding me.

I will restore vanilla. I am tired.

Today I did something I've wanted to do for YEARS and just always forgot or something else took precedence.

You know those little dark brown beetles in Egypt? I gave them a subtle glow texture so you can see them in the dark. Even if the original design goal was something that could jump-scare you in the dark, I hate it and want to see monsters in the distance so I made them more visible.

I had to settle on a single target as the projectile templates for any kind of exploding type projectile will spin the projectile in the game engine, no setting can stop it.

In this case it was okay as it is a petskill and I didn't want a big AoE explosion to keep from being OP. They have their breath attack for that.

Just FYI about Rune Golem's speed and how I approached it, modders.

There is an attack speed cap inthe game engine, you can change it but that's not my point.

Rune Golem starts out with a powerful but slow attack. His modifiers can increse it with attack speed modifier, but that's capped at 80%. But I want maybe 100% or 120% because he is so slow to start.

I've used this before, but instead of adding +% attack speed in his Runeblade skill, I used "CharactrAttackSpeed" instead.

Veterans will remember the Homados bug, this is the same. When adding a value to the characterAttackSpeed in a skill, it is added (as a floating point value) to the character's existing attack speed.

So I the character's base is 1.000000, adding 0.100000 to the characterAttackSpeed is additive and the BASE attack speed becomes 1.100000.

So what? Well, this is the BASE, which means any +%Attack Speed Modifier acts on THE NEW BASE. That's how you get around the attack speed cap.

So you could add 0.100000 to character base to say, an epic weapon which is awesome as with it you can get other skills and equipment and end up faster than all the +%attack speed modifiers in the game put together.

SO here's the progression for Rune Golem's base attack speed in their Runeweapon skill:
0.100000;0.140000;0.170000;0.210000;0.240000;0.280000;0.320000;0.350000;0.390000;0.420000;0.460000;0.500000;0.530000;0.570000;0.600000;0.640000;0.680000;0.710000;0.750000;0.780000;0.820000;0.860000;0.890000;0.930000;0.960000;1.000000

So at max they have doubled their BASE attack speed (if they get their charge that high). Then OTHER Modifiers increase it with a cap of +80% to THAT speed.
