CD Module 4.00b


Scripts:

-Fully disabled the Sorc PrC code that was freezing some sorcs even without PrCs. (The system didn't really work anyway.)

-Fixed the wrapper that advanced head appearances so some of the new ones can show up.

-Fixed a catch in the Spellhook that prevented Channel Spell from working for Arcane Warrior

-Fixed the damage type of Swordmage's Flame Gauntlet, and lowered the damage die to d6s

[Vincent07]

CD Module 4.00c


Swordmage:

-Added a 1 second delay to Weaponized Arcana to fix the AB bug.

-Lightning Fury should hurt the initial target now.

-Flame Gauntlet now does 50% reduced damage to Golems.

-Discern Arcana now properly adds to Spellcraft.


Items:

-Corrected a number of shield and weapon appearances that the Hak update broke.


Areas:

-Added a placeholder for the Undercity so it can be traversed. The path down from the King's wood works, the teleport key works, as does the portal outside Arabel.  Currently the Toy Box, Waukeen Temple, Thayvian Tower, and Outskirts are linked up. Shaun the Mind Flayer merchant is also available.  The area is otherwise very bare bones.

NPCs:

-The 2 nobles in Arabel Palace District have proper appearances now.

-The 2 Knights in the Kelemvorite Temple are no longer creepy twins.

[Vincent07]

CD Module v4.00d


Swordmage:

-Lightning Fury will now actually damage the initial target. Really. I promise.

-Weaponized Arcana no longer fires OnEquip. Now you must type /arcana to get the buff. This should also let you not use it if another caster has a more powerful GMW available.



Spells:

-Mass Death Ward will now work on the Event server.

[Vincent07]

CD Module 4.00e

Scripts:

-Fixed an issue with the Caster Level calculations for Swordmages when they are dispelled.


Areas:

-New Sunite temple put in - Made by CDLurker.

-Edits to the NE district of Arabel for the new temple. - By CDLurker

-Revision and edits to the Sunite temple store to put it in line with others.

-Changed a ballista placeable in Mountain Home from useable to static so the boss won't get caught on it. Also moved said creature's spawn point farther from it.

-Regular Ogre Mage  creatures no longer cast Dispel Magic. The High Ogre Mage still does.

-Fixed Swordhaven's teleport point. There was a key mismatch between the area tag and teleport variable for the old Stonehaven area name.

-Repaired the old Ironguard teleport point that was outside Stonehaven. It is now Desolate Valley.

-Plot flagged treasure containers in the Curst dungeon that were not.

-Plot flagged treasure containers in the Caverns of Death area that were not.

-Adjusted a number of spawns in Caverns of Death.  Touching the tomb is now a really bad idea. But the loot in it is better.  There will be a more extensive encounter overhaul of this dungeon in the near future.

-Icegloom: Increased the chance the Boss chests actually spawn items. Slight improvement to the Dragon's chest.

-Lava River Cavern: Implemented proper Boss loot. Drops after killing Hob should be somewhat improved over what is found in Icegloom.  Adjusted spawn positioning in the final room so that Hob's Guardian should pull with him.  Slightly reduced the self-healing amount for Hob's Guardian, and slightly tweaked Hob's abilities. Removed Fire Auras from the Fire Elementals.

-Moved the rope placeable in Sunset Mountain Crater that allows transitioning to the Bottom of the Crater. It should activate more reliably now.

-Addition to the OnSpawn scripts to allow for monsters to be scaled on spawn in. Requires a set FLOAT named "Scale".  1.0 is considered 'normal' 100%. 0.01 to 0.99 would be 1% to 99% 2.0 would be 200% etc

Areas:

Misc:

[Fire Wraith]

CD Module EE 4.01k


Scripts:

-Bards with the appropriate magical crafting feats should now be able to enchant items. Bards use the same Arcane Forges as Wizards and Sorcerers.

-Spellcasters with the appropriate magical crafting feats should now be able to disenchant items at an appropriate enchanting forge. This destroys the item (presently limited to weapons, armor, and rings) for a chance of producing one or more enchanting shards based on the disenchanted item's properties. Note that Skill bonuses and Spell Slots are not presently supported by this (but will be added in the future). The chance of generating shards increases with the power of the item being disenchanted.

-Added a chat command of /setvoiceset to change your voiceset (you'll need to reference the 2da line number - so /setvoiceset 123 for example).

-Tweaked the DM /resetarea command to address some bugs with it.

Areas:

-Wandering ghosts in the Haunted Farmhouse should no longer despawn when the area is empty of players.

-Added CEP weapons and some others to the starting area merchant, so new players won't be stuck unable to buy their preferred weapon


Misc:

-Crafting shards found in treasure (or from disenchanting) will now have a gold piece value. This does not affect shards from before this update.
