In my particular case its more " hard " than " wet " ... if you catch my meaning .

Tyd : Going into details about my " warm and fuzzy " feelings with another dude is not my idea of fun .

Of course NPC (especially Cain adn Tyrael) will change

If I keep my standard speed for map converting, i'll show you some more this week

Wootness, where does that tileset come from?!?

Post by **Joel** » Mon Oct 20, 2003 7:33 pm

It's some drow outpost from IWD or BG2 that I converted yesterday, playing with my new toy : map_converter.

Another new map with new tileset : The Shalafi Senechal's Crypt :

This is the new "forgotten tower entrance", now leading to a sub-quest area for lvl 75+ characters.

The host is currently down, we have just to wait for it to come back to see the screenies.

Post by **Joel** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 12:12 pm

Well, i'm on the verge to upload a massive upate for classes and items.
Maybe 20-30 new screenshots and so on.

What is planned to show :

-> new class layout and skills.
-> new subcabal spells,skills.
-> new machanism :

* Elementalist can use Elemental Essence (sort of shard of crystal) to
summon various elemental. Each essence come sinto 3 level (lesser,normal,greater) and carry out the actual stats of the summoned elemental. Elemental featured are :

fire,ice,lightning,earth,lava,air,blood,void.

* Same kind, the Hunter/Beastmaster can use beast Token (hiho brother Laz) to summon her minion. She also got minion summoning skills but an summon some other, more powerful, more versatile minion out of beast Token. prepare to tame : Sunbeam Lion, Frostreaver panther, Shamgath Viper, Blood raven, ...
Also, prepare to seek out for minion oriented items that gives +% to minion dmg, increase minon hp...

* each other cabal or sub cabal have new mechanism either tied to their relation to items (watch for the Artificer's skills using the Athanor to produce nw crafted items) or to skill relation. Chaos/Deathspeaker use negative energy radiating from undead (either enemies or minions) to increase its power, The Knight/Templar gets stronger when wearing Holy item and naturrally detect evil.

i'm off for the week end but next Wednesday should be day for surprise

Post by **Xcolibri** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 2:32 pm

I hope the mod comes with an explanation to give to my girlfriend why we won't spend the x-mas holidays together

Those new features really sound like they will boost the mod's playing experience and replay value, too!

Don't forget about the minion pets, I'd like to see some screenshot skill action/equipment from them sooner or later

Some cheesy stuff I've forgotten :

A Shaalfi, trapped by Gangrel Priest in Act 1 - Orcish Hideout.
She's affected by "faerie Fire", a -ac skill launched by the priest.
She's using Chain Lightning to destroy them.

A Chaos using various Act IV items. Some of these grants soem kind
of translucent state or cover youinto a nightly fog

Some stylish issues have been solved for the site.
here is the final layoutfor the class pages.

Main cabal page :
http://dynamic6.gamespy.com/~cabalwars/ ... ar/shalafi

Starting a character page :
http://dynamic6.gamespy.com/~cabalwars/ ... lafi/start

Innates Abilities page :
http://dynamic6.gamespy.com/~cabalwars/ ... fi/innates

Sub Cabal page :
http://dynamic6.gamespy.com/~cabalwars/ ... ementalist

Before I upload the remaining ones, are they looking good for everyone (especially under non IE browser) ?

Post by **franksjc00** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 12:31 am

Those look fantastic Joel!! you have me waiting eagerly just to see what each character is going to have the ability to do. I believe the graphics and all look great.

Post by **Tyd** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 1:44 pm

they look they way are are supposed to look i think. i have IE and its finde, no grafik bugs or something like that.

Post by **Xcolibri** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 3:58 pm

Well done, Joel!

I especially like the way how skills deal with the elemental damage / elemental resistance bonus. That is fresh, new and creative. Now you aren't disappointed any more, when this nice staff for your sorc (er, shalafi) spawns with elemental damage.

Also, the skill icons are extremely good looking and very intuitive for a quick identifying of the skill.

One question, though, regarding the passive mana leech: Does the shalafi need to fight in melee for that (aka Is this the original mana leech from D2X) or does she leech with spells, too? If it's normal damage leech only, she won't have much need for it, since she only cast spells, huh?
