Thothie's MS:C Map Updates

[Thothie]

Map Fixes:
New treasure chests for Skycastle
New treasures for Highlands_msc
- This is to allow some of our undeployed items into the game, as well as moving some items to more appropriate locations.

Spoiler

everything you found before is still in these chests... and more.

New treasure chests for Orcplace, Lostcastle, and WW3d are pending...

These changes require the "Nov 1st" Beta Pack to function.

These are at the usual place, re-linked for convenience.

Tweaks for skycastle today:

- switched 12 bats to 3 horrors for less lag (people always bypass the bats - then you got 12 active monsters lagging everything - this way you'll have at most 3 extras)
- Removed make_monsters_dumb flag from bear gods (they don't seem to need it since various old AI revisions)
- switched from fireallperish to trigger counters for better dependability

I left a "safety buffer" on all but the first two spawns, and the Calrian spawn (which I've ported over to Soul Eater... They dun seem to be dropping cash for some reason, gotta fix that...) So you might have a left over skeleton/bear or two when the next wave shows up. Plus, very likely, one extra bear god left over after the floor breaks. Shouldn't be much risk of getting ripped off by a spawn lockup though.

I'm getting some bugs with overly powerful greater holy arrows confusing skeleton death. Until I fix that (December 2006) you might want to avoid using them in situations where the spawn count is potentially buggy like Skycastle. (It *might* happen with Rebuke Undead as well)

These are at the usual place

I still get some error when trying to install the map updates :? Y'know the error saying "Le système ne peut exécuter le programme spécifié" Tried installing Service Pack2, didn't help. Searched for the tread where we talked about it and didn't find it so..sorry

 

[Thothie]

Yeah, I've still not tracked down an older ZHLT to experiment with. I'm assembling the 24MB bloat-map pack now...

 

[Thothie]

Alright, here it is:

24 MB's of maps *sigh*. Really gotta find a way to fix that installer - just this armor bug leading to corrupt characters really has me occupied atm.

Oh, there's also a patch for Unrest in that one - stops the spawn merge.

 

[HumanSteak]

woot! Thanks

 

[Netrogor]

HURRAH!!! Something I will alert you to Thothie... unless this map-pack-update fixes some of the votemap issues, I am unable to votemap to nightmare_thornlands. That is still considered a good map, isn't it??

 

[Thothie]

It's a custom map, so you'll need it in you custommaps cvar in your server/listenserver.cfg

 

[Thothie]

Added fixes:

Calruin2 - Lingering Inulnerable Horror
MS_Snow - Lingering Invulnerable Enraged Ice Bone (Queen's escort)
Unrest - Fixed spawn merge
(Clear your internet file cache if you downloaded this recently.)

These fixes are not critical enough for me to bother assembling another 24MB bloat pack. If anyone finds a link for ZHLT around version 2.7 - please tell me, maybe I can fix the installer for those peeps who can't run the current map compilers with it.

 

[Orochi]

I desperately need a new bloatpack! I can't get it to update, so whenever you could tell me where it is would be appreciated.

 

[Thothie]

If the bloatpack wont work for you, you are t3h screwed. Works on the same system as the betapack.

 

[Orochi]

Is there a new one with the most recent fixes? I need to know where to DL it.

 

[Thothie]

If I had to link it to you again, I'd have to kill you, so...

Back one page. (bottom)

 

[zEdge3]

looks good ill check it out

 

[Thothie]

Oh don't tell me you need it as well... The small patch on the first page not working for you?

 

[panth0ur]

Yeeeah, as you may have guessed by the post date, this patch is dated (removed link). The map patches are now included in the betapackage, and have been since about January.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

It's good to have you in my guild, because you post pretty amusing images
