Shadow Mage Not Working

Post by High Primate » Mon Jul 24, 2017 4:46 am

One can select the path yet still cast evocations and not have to select Shar. Haven't tested the spell DCs yet.
Some builds I've worked on (not recommended):
Charisma Battlecleric
"E-Dodge Brycer"

Probably because one server has reset but not the other. Did you change servers?

Ah, it's not that - there's an old copy of one of the scripts in the resource manager meaning some of the changes aren't applied. I'll check with Scholar why it's there.

Shadow Mages don't appear to be applying the bonus DC to enchantment spells. Illusion is working as intended -- Haven't tested necromancy yet.

You're right. Participating in the forums was a mistake. Won't do this again.

Is the bonus being applied to a different school by accident? I might have picked the wrong spell school abbreviation when adding that code.

I'll do some testing in a minute. Necromancy, at least, appears to be working fine.

Hm, all those are listed with school "E", which is what I coded (at the same time as "N" for necromancy, so you really shouldn't get one and not the other). Are you 100% certain that you've counted all spell focuses etc? Apologies for the dumb question, but it's worth being totally sure...

Yep. Character in question has 22 int, and spell focus enchantment. Gets a DC 19 sleep, 18 daze, and 21 hold person. Should be 21, 20, and 23, respectively.

Strangely, the blindness/deafness I get from GSF is applying the shadow weave DC. Other spells still don't appear to be.

The illusion spell I've been testing with was also a GSF infinite spell.

OK, so:
GSF infinite spells: enchantment and illusion work correctly. Necromancy you've not tested.
Normal spells: enchantment does not work. Illusion and necromancy work.

Correct?

Well, I've found the problem. It turns out a good 50 or so of our spell scripts haven't been overridden to use the Arelith specific method for calculating spell DCs. Bad me for assuming that they would have been :)

Excuse me while I update 50 or so spell scripts.

78, it turns out.

Fixed for next reset.
