Death & Respawning

The death, respawning, revive, raising, and other various scripts related to death & dying have been rewritten from the ground up. Many bugs have been fixed, but most importantly the death panel GUI has been replaced by a new NUI popup that can be moved, minimized, and clicked behind.

• The death panel GUI has been replaced by a NUI menu that allows you to drag it around and click behind it.
  
  
• In-game text references to death and respawning have been rewritten to match the server's policy on mechanical OOC deaths.

• Petrified players immediately die when dropping below 1 HP to fix an engine exploit that allowed players to unpetrify themselves.

• Regeneration from items is now correctly disabled.
  
  
• /touchon should now correctly persist through being revived.
  
  
• Fixed reviving being canceled with the reason "you became too wounded to continue" if temporary hitpoints or constitution buffs wore out whilst reviving (in most instances).

• OOC Arena received a minor facelift with a redone meeting point for PCs to gather at for quests.
  
  
• Placeable Combat Dummies in the OOC Arena have been replaced by a spawnable NPC combat dummy system with configurable options. This allows sneak attacks, spells, etc to be now tested out in the OOC Arena on the dummies. You can spawn a combat dummy hostile to only you by talking to the Combat Dummy Control Panels. Thanks to Nok and Misty for feedback on what configuration options to add.
• The Great Cormyrean Road Infrastructure Project: Connected many disconnected road footbridges across the module in various rural tileset areas. If you find any footbridges with roads that aren't connected up to them, please bug report!

DM Changelog

• Fixed a very rare corner case bug in the "DM Skill Point - 8 Points" wand which could add 8 skill points to a level 1 PC on the server whenever a DM logged in or out with the wand, or added or removed it from their inventory.

• Fixed /resetarea reverting an area's custom name to the resref's original name.
  
  
• DMs can now use /editdescription and /dmrename on DM items. You cannot use quake style color tags in item names -- item names will always remain DM red.

• Placeables and doors can once again be used with the DMFI Voice Widget with Quest Chat. Doors and placeables cannot have control characters .set at this time.
  
  
• /setupbasicnpc and /setupbossnpc now adds all wizard spells to wizard NPC's spellbooks.
  
  
• Added /rotatearea
  
  Rotates an area 90 degrees clockwise. You must reload the area to see it change.

Scripts

• Special AC Armors now use NWNX for item validation and equipping. In short, players won't be at risk of accidentally losing items at login from special AC armors being unequipped, as these armors will now remain correctly equipped when logging out/in.

• Heroic Empowerment and Heroic Alliance's temporary hitpoints no longer stack with each other.

• Fixed DMs being incorrectly considered as still possessing an NPC after unpossessing the NPC in some scripts.
  
  
• Disabled Scrying, again.
  
  
• Fixed private conversations using aet_npc_privconv not working.
  
  
• Fixed caster spellbooks not being correctly restored when unpolymorphing if additional spells were granted from ability increasing item properties.
  
  
• Fixed Summon Shadows droping their cloak and helmets upon death.
  
  
• Fixed an exploit in the new death system that allowed for avoiding respawn penalties.
  
  
• Fixed DM's examining a character's description panel receiving garbled descriptions if the DM had a character's character sheet open.
  
  
• Fixed some server logging concerning DM tool use.

CD Module 4.09a4

This is a minor update to import the previously applied hotfixes into the module proper, plus apply additional critical bug fixes and exploit fixes.

Scripts

• Fixed some critical edge case issues where the PCID cache was not being updated when the upstream PCID changed.

• Fixed some SDM/Admin tools.
  
  
• Discord webhooks will attempt to be resent after a supplied delay when rate limited.
  
  
• All effects on PCs are now removed when respawning, fixing any lingering effects on a PC when respawning from a "soft" death such as petrification.

• Fixed Mass Charm's DC being stuck at 1.
  
  
• Fixed Mists of Eldath removing barbarian rage effects.
  
  
• Fixed Mists of Eldath unshifting druids and shifters.

• Keen now correctly targets offhand weapons if there's no main hand weapon equipped, and will target gloves if no main hand or off-hand is equipped.

CD Module 4.09a5


Scripts:

-Imported prior fixes and adjustments from 9a4.

-Circle of Death: Total Hit-Dice able to be affected by the spell changed from d4(CL) to d8(CL). As the individual HD cap was already increased from 10 to 20, this meant on higher level creatures, that the then lower total HD cap was being eaten up too quickly for the spell to be very effective.

-Empower Arts: The Damage bonus applied to Swordmage's various elemental Arts has been reduced down 5% to 20%. (From 25%)

Creatures:

-Edited many, many creatures to revert instances of Uncanny Dodge II back to Uncanny Dodge I.

-Edited even more creatures to adjust Taunt values.

-Corrected appearance of Arabel Sewer Wererats.

-Corrected missing tail on the Bandit Werewolf.

-Replaced Prismatic Dragon Breath with Sonic on Summoned Adult Crystal Dragon.


Areas:

-Flipped The High Road – East of Eveningstar back to its proper orientation. Redid the eastern and western transitions to properly link up with the right areas.

-Sakkors: (Initial re-balance pass. Further tweaks to encounter design coming.)
  -Removed Breach ability from Helmed Horrors
  -Tweaked Memory of Netheril's spell list to add missing lower level spells they should have had.
  -Restored Spellwarped Scrag's missing SLAs. Enjoy wild magic wackyness.
  -Improved loot drops after Sariath and the Golem Workshop.

-Wyrmwood: (Initial adjustment to encounters. Further adjustment and loot pass coming.)
  -Adjusted all Wyverns so they (hopefully) won't get stuck on each other or the area geometry.
  -Slightly nerfed some AB and AC values, increased HP values, and removed instances of Uncanny Dodge II.
  -Removed the Bounty target from the Wyvern Matriarch.

-New Area – The North Ride - Spiderhaunt Crypt:
  -Added this new dungeon. It is equivalent to Khazar Ruins.
  -Added the old Wyvern Bounty target to this dungeon's boss.

-Full replacement update to Sschindylryn by Rykka.

-Update to Maerimdyra to reflect plot things, by Rykka

-Update to the Voonlar trader, by Edge

-Update to the Thayvian tower, by Nok

-Update to Cradle of Mielikki to reflect plot things, by Edge.

-Adjusted the Dungeon Name variables on Arabel Underground to make it more evident that B1 and B2 can support separate groups.

-Added missing Dungeon Name variables to multiple areas that were missing them, and removed them from one area that should not have had it.

-Arabel – Underground B1: Corrected some loot container scripts that was causing them to spawn vanilla loot. Removed "usable" and "has inventory" flags from some placeables that did not generate loot. Standardized loot level limit variables across the area.

-Seasonal update to the OOC Room.

-Seasonal update to Arabel Central

-Added various player requested areas.

-Added rebuild of Arabel's Selunite temple by Terallis


Misc:

-Updated the Journal Entry and NPC dialogue for the Yulash version of the Khazar Bounty to account for the new area/dungeon.

-Corrected a typo in the Fire Breathing Rat quest journal.

CD Module 4.09a5 (Part 2)

Player Commands

• Added /lfrp for players looking for roleplay. /lfg will be used for those looking for dungeons.
  
  
• Added "boots", "left boot", "right boot" to /outfit <hide|show>'s preset options.
  
  
• Potentially fixed an edge case issue where attempting to save a new outfit in the /outfit conversation would instead overwrite a previously saved outfit.

Items

• Special AC armors now use NWNX to validate equip rules, no longer requiring the granting of the heavy armor proficiency feat. This will fix special AC armors being unequipped when logging in if your character does not natively have heavy armor proficiency. Note: For the time being characters will keep the heavy armor proficiency feat until a future update.
  
  
• Items equipped via use magic device increases met via item or spell bonuses won't be unequipped when logging in.
  
  
• Disarmed weapons will attempt to be placed in your inventory first before being dropped on the ground if your inventory is full. Disarmed weapons cannot be immediately re-equipped.
  
  
• Items can no longer be unequipped if your inventory is full where it would force the item to be dropped on the ground.
  
  
• Migrated some core parts of the Item Level Restriction code to NWNX, fixing some minor bugs and lingering exploits.

Creatures

• Updated all trolls to use our new NWNX troll damage system.
  
  
• Trolls are no longer flagged immortal, which will now allow status effects to apply to trolls.

Classes

• Fixed Shadowdancer's Summon Shadow dropping equipped bolts when killed.
  
  
• Druids now automatically gain the Alter Self widget at class level 13. This widget represents the druid's "A Thousand Faces" class ability.
  
  
• Shifters now automatically gain the Alter Self widget at class level 7. This widget represents the shifter's wider ability to shift into different humanoid shapes.

Spells

• Fixed Shadow Double dropping equipped bolts when killed.
  
  
• Fixed various spells accidentally having a DC of 2.

RPXP Faery Tweaks

• Over the past few months the RPXP Faery has received various tweaks. Overall, the RPXP Faery will now reward RPXP ticks more reliably in situations where it previously didn't when playing with other players, when in DM quests, or when actively playing on the server solo — whether just exploring, scribing/crafting, dungeoning, or shopping. A few commonly seen exploits that saw frequent abuse have also been closed. As a brief reminder, RPXP is for those who are roleplaying or actively playing the game -- attempting to cheat the system by using macros and other minimal-involvement idling methods is considered abusing the RPXP Faery.

AI

• Bioware AI will attempt to use knockdown more reliably.
  
  
• Bioware AI will now attempt to cast resurrection and raise dead on fallen allies.
  
  
• Bioware AI will now correctly attempt to use non-fire dragon disciple breath attacks.
  
  
• Bioware AI will now instantly activate their permanent auras when spawned, similar to Jasper's AI.
  
  
• Bioware AI now obeys the SELFISH_HEALS creature int var.
  
  
• Bioware AI now take into account our custom classes for determining their AI tactics. (Offensive vs Defensive vs Magic)
  
  
• Both Jasper's and Bioware's AI now has a cooldown timer on using HIPS.
  
  
• Jasper's AI no longer always uses Hide in Plain Sight at the start of every combat round routine. Now Jasper's AI only has a chance to use HIPS with a cooldown between uses.
  
  
• Jasper's AI will attempt to change to a new target after entering Hide in Plain Sight. The intention of this change is to hopefully make the AI utilize their stealth to move to and surprise attack someone else, rather than immediately unstealthing by attacking the same target. With the way AI works, this may not always pan out as the AI will do what the AI wants.
  
  
• Fixed Jasper's AI AOE spell targeting to now always cast AOE spells at enemies. Previously they'd cast AOEs where at a location that reached the most creatures, regardless if they were an enemy to the NPC or not, which often resulted in casting AOE spells at friends where there were no enemies of the NPC.
  
  
• AI will no longer try to immediately equip a weapon after being disarmed.
  
  
• AI should stop trying to enter HIPS when stunned/dazed/paralyzed/etc. This might not prevent AI from entering HIPS if knocked down because the combat engine is blackboxed around knockdowns and we're unable to determine if a creature is knocked down or not.
  
  
• Fixed some instances where Jasper's AI would always follow you during combat when you're unseen. Jasper's AI should now correctly begin searching for you if you go into stealth/invisibility. This won't fix all instances of AI following you when you're invisible/stealthed to the NPC, but should fix at least one errant behavior case.
  
  
• Minor optimizations to the generic "split on death" creature script.
  
  
• Fixed Jasper's AI not being correctly disabled inside DM NPCs areas.
  
  
• Jasper's AI now correctly recognize our custom weapons when determining various AI tactics.
  
  
• Potentially fixed Bioware AI's spellcasting being interrupted when a nearby creature died.
  
  
• Fixed 73 summons using the wrong OnDamaged script.
  
  
• Fixed some Bioware AI issues that could cause AI to become fixated on a dead target instead of choosing a new target to attack.
  
  
• Fixed some Bioware AI issues that could cause henchmen AI to exit their combat script routines prematurely in a round, which might have caused AI to stand and do nothing.
  
  
• The above 4 AI fixes (potentially) fix Throne Archons and Tulani Eladrin's (and other summons too) AI from breaking.
  
  

Crafting

• Fixed Favored Soul not being registered as a divine class for adding appropriate class use restrictions to wands/scrolls.
  
  
• Fixed scroll, potion, and wand crafting using the wrong item property caster level for some spells for crafting cost calculations.
  
  
• Disabled default bioware crafting item component drops when destroying doors.

Areas

• Set Claire's conversation to private.
  
  
• Fixed 45 area teleports that either had misspelled teleport variables, resrefs for area tags, typos in teleport key, or were mistakenly set as hidden when they should be public keys.
  
  
• Fixed various Sschindylryn and Maerimydra areas incorrectly flagged as above ground areas.

• Additional caravan routes and stops added.
  
  
• Caravan and ferry costs increase based on distance traveled, counted by other caravan stops passed through on the way to the destination.

Other

• Added a PC area crashloop rescue measure that will attempt to reset a character's location if a crash loop is detected.
  
  
• Half-Dragon and Dragon Disciple breath types are now based on the breath weapon feat, and not dragon color feat.
  
  
• Fixed an exploit that allowed characters to buy special armor AC from the tailoring models.
  
  
• Fixed the combat dummy sometimes reporting the session multiple times when killed.

• Fixed temporary item properties not being removed from equipped items on rest.
  
  
• The area cleaner script will no longer despawn dropped DM tier items.

• Added creature int var PLAY_LOOPING_ANIMATION to set a looping animation on a creature when spawned.
  
  
• Added creature int var VFX_PERSISTENT to add a harmless vfx_persistent visual effect on the creature. This int must be offset +1 higher than the 2da row number.
  
  
• Added creature int var SIT_ON_SPAWN, which will make the NPC sit on the nearest object tagged PLC_Chair.
  
  
• Added creature int var IMMUNE_ANIMAL_EMPATHY 1 to provide immunity to animal empathy.
  
  
• Added creature int var IMMUNE_TAUNT 1 to provide immunity to taunt.
  
  
• Added creature int vars ON_DEATH_VFX, ON_DEATH_VFX2, and ON_DEATH_VFX3 which will play the associated visual effect on death. The value set must be visualeffects.2da row number + 1.
  
  
• Added item int var NO_PICKUP 1 to prevent PCs from being able to pick up the item from the ground or from containers.
  
  
• Signed initialization scripts will now be autoloaded at module load time, decentralizing the module load script.

Dungeon Masters

• Fixed an overflow error in /delayrestart if setting too long a delay that could result in the server instead immediately restarting.
  
  
• Updated area Import/Export tools, changelog already announced in DM forums and staff discord.
  
  
• Fixed some malformed feedback messages when using ##Set/Mod ability commands.
