Re: [crossfire] Summon pet monster
I think you really need to set up 2 slots for a proper solution (body_item_skill and body_natural_skill or the like) and not make body_skill be two slots. Doing the later is completely the wrong approach, and was one of the things that the body_... stuff was meant to prevent. Sorry to have been misunderstood, but yes, that was exactly what I was suggesting... But there are also some other possible considerations - I think you'd want to make sure that a character doesn't have the same skill equipped through both methods (holy symbol and actual praying skill) - I think that may cause some issues - probably more see with the arcane skills. Do you have more idea on what problem that may cause ? It is not very useful to have the same skill equipped twice, but I don't see how it could cause problems. Also, every place that checks to see if the skill is already ready would need to be updated, but that would have to be done regardless (I'm pretty sure that that code checkes the pl-ranges[range_skill] - so you'd probably need to add a new range slot (just like the body stuff above) and update all the code to look for it. Ok. All this said, one could make the case that having only 1 skill equipped at a time, regardless of natural or item, is a play balance limitation. Well, it does not really change the balance of play having 1 or 10 skill items equipped because the change of skill item is automatic, but when some items give bonuses and you cannot use natural skill without unequipping it, it made those items nearly useless... I'll modify the code to gace x_item_skill and x_natural_skill and put the patch to sourceforge... -- Benjamin ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire

[crossfire] swarm spells
sorry if this was brought up before, I seem to remember discussing it, but a quick search didn't turn up anything. So, swarm spells (eg bullet swarm, bullet storm) used to shoot a fair ammount of (whatever it is you're shooting), in three rows (the one you're in, and one to each side). Now they seem to shot more, in only one row, which makes them much less useful. (It's possible that they're just shooting the same ammount as before, but in a single row, so it seems to be three times as much). Was this intentional or a regression? If intentional, why? best, Lalo Martins -- So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. -- http://www.exoweb.net/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GNU: never give up freedom http://www.gnu.org/ ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
Re: [crossfire] swarm spells
It works like that for me, on Metalforge. What server are you playing on? Ryo ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire

Try bullet swarm and meteor swarm you'll see the single row that was mentioned by Lalo. IIRC both bullet swarm and meteor swarm USED to work just like missile swarm does now. At this point they look more like the bolt spells than swarm spells. Plus meteor swarm can now be shot through a narrow door without worry. I can recall killing my character with it in the past by trying to shoot it through a narrow door. :-) Gene Alexander -- Linux era4.eracc.UUCP 2.6.8.1-12mdk i686 13:26:21 up 139 days, 14:07, 8 users, load average: 0.12, 0.06, 0.05 ERA Computer Consulting - http://www.eracc.com/ eCS, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenServer UnixWare resellers ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
