Bugs in 3/9/2009 update

[dordon]

Here's a few things I've noticed so far:

1. 2 of 3 transitions out of the enchanted lands do not work. The only one that does work is to Cazic-Thule

2. The anti-magic ray of the beholders is dispelling my 'permanent' Forest Master buffs like immunity to critical hits. Some of them are not being dispelled however. Seems to always be the same set, I can make a list if it's important.

3. The gate to Fallen Gate can be opened, but you can't use it to transition anywhere.

#2 : I didn't alter the script that BRock did but now that you point it out I see a few problems with it. I'll fix it and roll it into 1.36.1.

Edit: Supernatural effects will no longer be removed. The routine will not short circuit on the first complex effect. All non-supernatural effects *will* be removed.

I second the transition issues

The auto dispelling hurts like no ones business... Its like ZOMG where was my power saves against that crap hahaha

[Kaedrin]

Right now there is no save, no remedy. I haven't gone back to the books to see what it *should* be but that's what's there now.

[mammothtruk]

well if your looking to overhaul that behold eye ray script....

two rays per round for gauth and three for full beholder

no antimagic cone on the gauth

antimagic cone on the beholder is 150' caster level 13 and runs like an antimagic field
HERE yeah I hate the SRD but its an easy quick reference for something simple like this.

Oh and you dont get a save verse the cone at all witch is fine if it was supressing the effects and not dispelling even whats not suppose to be effected.

And they are firing all its rays at once every round witch isnt suppose to be happening. However they can multitarget the rays witch is way way coool! I wish players could.

Kaedrin, I run an updated version of the beholder scripts so that they're eye power progresses in response to monster level Please let me know of any changes you make so I can roll them into my own version.

[Kaedrin]

void DoRemoveEffects(object oTarget)
{
   effect eEff = GetFirstEffect(oTarget);
   while (GetIsEffectValid(eEff))
   {
       if (GetEffectSubType(eEff) != SUBTYPE_SUPERNATURAL)
       {
           if (GetEffectType(eEff) != EFFECT_TYPE_DISAPPEARAPPEAR
              && GetEffectType(eEff) != EFFECT_TYPE_SPELL_FAILURE
              )
           {
if (!(GetEffectDurationType(eEff) == DURATION_TYPE_PERMANENT && GetEffectType(eEff) == EFFECT_TYPE_AREA_OF_EFFECT && GetEffectCreator(eEff) == oTarget ) )
{
               RemoveEffect (oTarget, eEff);
eEff = GetFirstEffect(oTarget);
}
           }
else
{
eEff = GetNextEffect(oTarget);
}
       }
       
   }
}

I only changed the DoRemoveEffects code.

I think the dispel magic traps may need this same treatment. I'm 90% sure I was losing my Forest Master bonuses to them as well.

[Loudent2]

They they must not be supernatural effects. I mostly call the standard dispel magic code that all dispells use.

[Kaedrin]

The core dispels and cutscene functionality doesn't care about supernatural and probably has the exact same looping bug. It's in a LOT of OEI/Biowares code.

All of the Forest Master abilities are Supernatural.

[Loudent2]

Interesting because I tested both the beholders and the traps with a swiftblade and it never stripped the haste ability from me.

[Kaedrin]

The remove code I posted is what I used to resolve the Overland Map issue in SoZ. I rechecked the scripts and they are all supernatural so I don't know why it would work for some and not others.

How many levels of swiftblade did you have? That will help me narrow down what I'm looking at but I'm seriously at a loss on how to proceed.

It's possible the internal engine code uses the same busted cycling that some of their scripts use. If so it might be getting locked up on one of the swiftblade effects and kicking out where it keeps going on the Forest master.
