Re: Forgotten Realms Mod
I have made stat potions before. I am just thinking about if i should still implement them because they could make the game imbalanced but it is a great way to improve your character after beating the game and it is something to do.

Re: Forgotten Realms Mod
Yeah I will add stat potions. But they will be quite rare and will only be droppable after the player has completed hell.

Well if you're staying in the Ten Towns region to start with then Kuldahar's always been one of my favorites so that'd maybe a nice act 2 unless you were wanting to leaving the desert setting in which can maybe something from Dark Sun would work better. Kuldahar is populated pretty much the same as Act 1 (Easthaven) but maybe with some undead around the vale of shadows region not to mention some tougher orc elites, orogs and maybe other monstrosities that run with them like bugbears, trolls, ogres etc
I guess it really depends a lot of your intended plot as to the progression of the locations. Not much point in me having act 5 end in Sithicus (well Soth was originally in FR) if your plot has you overthrowing a tyrant in Neverwinter ya know?

Re: Forgotten Realms Mod
Thx
Well I am piecing together the Easthavn Map to replace Act 1 Town. I will try to get that finished soon (it's quite a big map ).

Just an idea - for the classes, why not take a look at the Prestige classes? I think there's have been enough of fighters/wizards/clerics in rpgs.
Amazon -> Arcane Archer
Assassin -> Blade Dancer, Assassin (or multipe-class them!)
Sorceress, Nerco, Druid -> Archmage, Dragon Disciple, Pale Walker, Arcane Trickster
Barbarain -> Bard (a blast from the past from Hellfire), Duelist, Kensai, Monk
Paladin -> Eldtrich Knight,
Druid -> Horizon Walker
Just some random suggestions.

This mod sounds wonderful! I will do anything to help. I have a vast amount of information about the Forgotten Realms and the AD&D RP system. My brother and I still play AD&D, infact my brother is so into it he has created his own RP system and realm. He has created a Prestige class system and I am sure he will be glad to share his ideas. If you have any questions about skills and things, please don't hesitate to ask.
BTW, for suggestions about the acts...
Act2- Why not go to Amn itself and the quests would be something like doing the mines and ridding them of the infesting Kolbolds instead of doing the sewers...so on so forth...
act3- no idea...
act4- Venture into the abyss of course!!
act5- To the mirrored tower we head, but wait, the tower is a crystal *hint hint* of all knowing power, hmm i wonder what that sounds like?

Re: Forgotten Realms Mod
Hi
Thx for your ideas. I like the Act 2 ideas with the mines and kobolds. And the ACt 5 tower "Cryshal-Tirith" if I am correct

Re: Forgotten Realms Mod
Good eye my friend. Also I have been thinking, maybe you should add in a "random" stats roller for when you first create your character like real AD&D. I put quotations around random because for each class the ranges on each stat would be different. Example; The "Barbarian" class you have made will have a range between 30 and 50 for strength where as the "Necromancer" class would have a range between 15 and 25 for strength. If it were this way it would give a moreunique feeling to the character. If you give me time I could give you a list of all the classes and their ranges.

Re: Forgotten Realms Mod
Cool idea.
I really want the mod to feel like Forgotten Realms and AD&D and having ranges on stats will fit perfectly. Now I need to see how to implement this idea (hope it doesn' t require Code Editing )
Keep coming with the ideas!

Re: Forgotten Realms Mod
Beginning stats are assigned through charstats.txt, and those fields are not calc fields. So it looks like code editing to me.
Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

Re: Forgotten Realms Mod
That depends on how comfortable any mod maker is about code editing. A person familiar with txt files and lost at sea with assembly language would consider the problem to be much more difficult than somebody who knows the ins and outs of analyzing D2 executables. Even for an experienced code modder, there are several small hurdles:
• finding the place where charstats is called in forming a character
• making a function to generate a random number between X and Y (there is one in Book of Lore to copy)
• calling your rnd(X,Y) function for each such stat
None of these are major by themselves, but they will require knowing how to pull custom code modules into the game. There are several ways to do this, which a search of the Code Editing Forum would disclose.
But when a modder writes hope it doesn't require Code Editing I am inclined to think this is more work than he wants to undertake.

Re: Forgotten Realms Mod
Update
Hi ppl. Haven't posted a update in a while. Anyway, it's not really a happy update. To get to the point I have been trying to build the Easthaven map for the Act 1 town. I have been making it for a month now to realise that it's been for nothing. I have completely done it wrong and cannot do it because i am not good with graphics. I am in need of someone that is good with graphics too create floor and wall tiles. They would need too have a little bit of ds1 and dt1 knowledge too. Sorry for the delay and stupidity from me. Anyone who thinks that they would be good for this position please contact me or post here.

Hi, I'm a nooob but I can offer my 10+ years of gaming Knowledge in the Forgotten Realms to to you at anytime just ask... as to modding I was looking into the mapping side of Modding anyway so I will concentrate on that aspect in my reading and testing...
I love the Concept that U have down and would like you to read on an Idea I had to expand the Character Classes further in the Mod Concepts and Reasarch section Charater Expansion
I hope that the Ideas might inspire you
