This is why my epic still isn't working, tyler.. Didn't do the mods I noted earlier... XD
I'm not sure how you modify files, but I found most spell editors to be annoying and limited, well frankly that's my outlook on most GUI editors. Haha.

Tada. That's it.

Edited this in, no error when i launched the Editor so technically it's working. Let me know if it is indeed working ingame.

I just realized this effect lasts 1 minute, so i cut the Hot in half (same for kinsong which i fixed the same way).

Wtih sept 16th edition of spell file:
Found spell 6271
Spell info for spell #6271:
name: Spirit of Vesagran

base[12]: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 500, 60, 35, 0, 140
base2[12]: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, -858993460
max[12]: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 60, 35, 0, 0

See the two sets of 60, and only one -1?

The tool I'm using by the way is inside the SVN of source, you can compile it in : <dir of SVN>\utils\spell_explorer.dsw
copy your spells_ud to the same dir as spell_explorer.exe , and run spell_explorer.exe <spellid> in a command line, and it spits out in DOS like this:


You can count the 0's to figure out what slot it represents, e.g. slot 8 (8th spot) is 500 in base[12] row, slot 9 is 60, slot 10 is 35, etc etc..

Referring to my original quote:

For the spell effect Spirit of Vesagran (6721) to work, change the max value in slot 9 from 60 to 0, then change base2 value in slot 10 from 0 to -1, and I think it'll be solved

Added numbers above to help show the counted "slots".

Code: Select all

        1   2  3  4  5  6 7  8  -9-  10 11 12
max[12]: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 60, 35, 0, 0


It's still 60.

and base2 value in slot 10 from 0 to -1

Code: Select all

           1   2  3  4  5  6 7  8  9 10  11   12
base2[12]: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, -858993460


It's still 0.


With the change I suggested a post ago about how to fix it (I also edited 1000 to 500 since you changed that after my last post):

Code: Select all

6271^Spirit of Vesagran^BLUE_TRAIL^^^^You are filled with the spirit of Vesagran.^ is filled with the spirit of Vesagran.^The draconic spirit fades.^^150^0^0^0^0^0^8^10^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^500^60^35^0^140^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^-1^-1^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^35^0^0^0^0^-1^-1^-1^-1^1^1^1^1^-1^-1^-1^-1^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^0^1^^0^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^100^124^185^138^254^41^0^52^-1^0^0^255^255^255^255^255^255^255^255^255^255^255^255^255^255^255^255^44^13^0^-1^^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^100^0^179^342^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^-1^6271^^^^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^0^1^0^0

if you add that to spells.us replacing the line of Spirit of Vesagran, spell_explorer spits out this:

See how the 60 is only on there once, and there's two -1's instead of 1? that file should fix it. Once that's in and it still doesn't work, I'll really sit down and test it on my box.

[Tyler]

Well no idea- i copy and pasted exactly what you set in code tags.

I'll check it again later today.

[Tyler]

Ok I checked and i think you're wrong

You wrote in field/slot 10 i needed to add an additional -1 but it seems you put it in slot 11.

To clarify:

Slot 8 : 500 Hot
Slot 9 : 60% increased spell damage
Slot10 : 35% Damage Mod
Slot11 : Limit Spell Type

Both have min and max values. Removing the 60 from the max field from slot9 - np
But add a -10 to slot 10 would add it to 35% damage mod. What you posted in codes puts this to slot11.

Let me know what you think.

[Shin Noir]

Ok, let me talk slower.
My code examples (where I am attempting to number each slot?) is your code. It's unmodified. I'm showing why it's wrong.

The screenshot on the bottom shows the modified spell file.

You want the line:

Code: Select all

           1   2  3  4  5  6 7  8  9 10  11   12
base2[12]: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, -858993460

To become this:

Code: Select all

           1   2  3  4  5  6 7  8  9  10   11    12
base2[12]: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -858993460


There's going to be two -1's side by side in the base2 portion after you modify. This means slot 10 will be -1, and slot 11 will be -1. Slot 11 has ALWAYS been -1, since you first edited it, and it's fine. I'm focused solely on slot 10. It hasn't changed in the last 3 or 4 spell file edit updates.

For the spell effect Spirit of Vesagran (6721) to work, change the max value in slot 9 from 60 to 0, then change base2 value in slot 10 from 0 to -1.

that's it. Every single post I've written since I said that has been reiterating it, trying to explain it, etc... since it wasn't in yet.
I can like, send you the spellfile if you want? with the changes? would that be easier? I kind of give up on explaining this, it's really really simple. But I guess I fail at explaining it. so, yeah.. I don't know.

[Tyler]

Done.

As i said, i copy and pasted your code in the spellfile yesterday. Maybe an error happened there, not sure.

[Jeido]

I think something did go wrong, Tyler, because I looked at the spell file also to see what shin was talking about and you were missing a -1. Hopefully it's fixed now.

[Tyler]

Fingers crossed

http://thehiddenforest.dyndns.org/pets.php?class=shd for pet table on SKs ( i know the lvl 68 spell son of decay is higher but i cannot for the life of me find data on it in alla clone), eitherway it still dies from a solo trash mob AoE in a single hit ( any way to boost its hp so it can eat maybe even a single group mob rampage? ( like above 4k?), its dps is just fine though.


P.S. a alternative to dmg shield for mages new spell in PoFire could be a new improved monster summoning ( they are always fun instead of the plain old turds)
