Quote:the guy that tells you which city is is claimed to be zhangliao and wanted to join, i let him.
then recruited the real zhang liao (same dialog for both). both sprites disappeared from the town.
Thats wierd, yes it supposed to be Zhang Liao instead of Jiang Wei but… Hmm, gotta check into that, might have to do with the chest bug. LYS had issues like this and no one else did. Did you say the town guard? lol
Yes, I moved splint mail to an earlier point (the one before jian ye as well) to make it useful instead of just skipping it before Wei. I'll check that armor, AP values of armor haven't been changed though… guess Im checking that too :P
Or Guan yu is constipated X_x
Thanks for getting that, gonna see how they turned out in game :)
Edit:Hey these turned out great! Well, there are a few pictures that have a big black dot in a random spot… wonder how that happened hehe. I'll have to make a few adjustments on those apparently.
Cool, that answers an awful lot about tactics which seem to be one of the more elusive of things in DOAE. Thanks for the generous input Ludmeister! Its like our treat for Halloween hehe.
Now if only we can figure out how to do multi/double hits for weapons… maybe we'd have to wait until Christmas for that one
MiDKnighT, here are those portraits.
If you can
A. download the updated mod
B. Expand the ROM
C. Input the portraits in the expansion section, thatd be great :D
D. Does Niahaks Editor read portraits from the expansion section or am I going to have to hex each one in?
I would do more but gotta pick up my wife for a halloween church thing tonight, so I'll have to finish more pics later. Just repost whatever you manage to get
Ah Ludmeister, thanks so much for responding to my request and helping out, its greatly appreciated :)
Almost done with 1 strip, only taken about 2-3 hrs… Im hand drawing a lot of the details and making fixes to each picture. Just hope they turn out right in game :P
Might even bring a tear to your eye… okay maybe not
Like AREA 1 is Yellow Turban Area. AREA 0 is where super rebels are just want to be able to edit super rebels unless that can be in the 'normal' rebel code
by the way Im working on a portrait strip that I wanted you to import into my rom via fedian since my DOS errors the crap out of it. I'll let you know when Im done with it. It's turning out really nice so far as I am using HQ pictures :)
Quote:Ah, so you revived the super rebels.ehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!
I know it sounds like an odd request, but is there a way to change the random enemy encounters in area 0? Like Rebels and Brigands.
Updated link!
1. Lu Bu's Int. has been significantly lowered for latter parts of the game.
2. Additional-brand-spankin-new-bonus-ENDGAME-battle (sorry youll have to restart your game for it to take effect)
3. Some slight additonal officer rebalancing
4. No more Chang An gate battle. Oh come on, like it was useful anyways!
This is what is in the Yuan Shao un-accessable area atm. Gives like 175,000 exp after the battle though hehe
This battle would occur AFTER you defeat the end boss and is one of MULTIPLE BONUS endgame battles. I actually have another which I haven't tried beating atm, but info on that starts in Jin/New Luo Yang.
Here is a little spoiler of what the battle would have been, but I might edit soldier counts a bit. Again, you would need to restart a new game to access this.
Will update this shortly.
Quote:Just took Wu Castle (with Zhuge Jin in it). My Lvl38 party is Zhao Yun, Meng Huo, Ling Tong, Zhang Bao, Lu Bu, Zhuge as tactician, and li hui hanging along for the ride. Now that I've taken Wu, I'll prolly try to see if I can scrounge up some more Wu tacticians.What? No Shamoke? I resisted the urge to make Fa Zheng and Pang Tongs soldiers upgrade-able but their INT essentially protects them from tactics so formation is key to use them through Wu. I have actually used them through most of Wu before you start getting officers with low HP mangled.
Am going to upgrade shortly if I can get his next semi-major update to work. It involves a battle that those who have already started will NOT be able to access since I am using battles pointers from the Hua Xiong battle (ie: you have already beaten it, so the replacement battle wont appear).
That is, unless someone knows some code I can use to respawn battles…
Edit: Poor guan ping and mi zhu… I thought giving ping upgrades would be an interesting change, but figured they would get dumped before too long anyways
Quote:Saw the castle north that couldn't be reached quite yet, was very curious hehehe.This is for a possible future update, it is blocked off atm since it has rebel forces with 50,000+ troops there O_o
Quote:it's a tad odd given the typical story / history, but in a 'rise of lu bu' mod, i have no real qualms with it. He does have higher INT than Zhao Yun, which is amusing :). It's kind of handy to have him with high INT, particularly since I'm looking for a casual yet interesting game… and many DOE mods up the difficulty resulting in a lot of save file restarts or save state battles. I have yet to get into late game, so dunno how it'll turn out.I have play tested the battles a lot myself so as to make them VERY difficult but not so much that a player will have to resort to uber-save state hacking.
Quote:re: yan yan / beat shortcut before or after luoi… honestly can't recall. trying to recall how the game flow went, i ran into the shortcut… not sure if i beat it or died. if i died, i didn't come back until after taking the camp just after ore mountain. i just can't recall
Found the reason for this bug. Yan yan was just involved in too many battles. His role has been reduced which should fix the bug of multi-yan yans. Also slightly tweaked his int, 215 just seemed a tad on the high side.
Quote:re: zhuge liang fightI believe I was using Guard at the time and just whittled him down (yay for a high INT enemy without wanfu!).
Knew Wan Fu would be overtly annoying and wouldnt make the fight even possible. Kind of like when I gave Zhang Jue Yan Re, I tried a dozen times to beat it before just changing it hehe.
Quote:i now gotta take back jingzhou. fights there are much harder than chengdu… which is a change from the game flow of the original heh. not sure which direction i'll go first, prolly take out the wu invaders first…. i'll have to look at my tacticians again and decide a proper route.This has been the hardest part about the mod and I would say in general. Making 'progressive' difficulty while still keeping it fresh has been very difficult to do without totally gimping the game and flow.
Quote:ps – do enjoy the alternate rebel forces during scripted fights :3. oh, and not sure if doe2.0 had it or if you added it, but thanks for keeping the idea of being able to billet guan/zhang sons.As do I, theyre all mostly a recent addition inspired by the White Riders of Gongsun Zan, there are over a half a dozen new "generic" type forces during special fights throughout the game which seemed to add more spice to an otherwise slaughterfest of those wimpy rebel forces who were essentially place holders.
Quote:the liu bei dialog just after lu bu chewed him out doesn't quite flow correctly. it still has lots of original text which… doesn't… quite chime with being berated by lu bu. ie: after the 'dont wanna be like you' spiel.hehe, this was done when I first started the mod just to see if the idea would work. I havent tinkered with it much since no one really seemed to care, thus far (thanks unfy!), but I can take a look into it now ;)
I left Xing and Bao billetable as they are there in the case someone decides not to get the other officers in the game (dont know how or why?) but anyways yeah, they are still decent for the time you get them, just thought most people would want the fresh new officers like the awesome Fa Zheng :D
It is built off 2.0 and should have been patched, however, I and also LYS has still had the disappearing item bug occur still, maybe modding it somehow affected it? Anyways, that sounds reasonable to do, BUT, that means I will need to remove the unansha-able check off of other officers… he may just have to be ansha-able. Will lower INT too and see what you think.
Quote:beat Zhuge Liang on the first try but I think I got really lucky. He zealed himself but didn't use the Inferno or Deluge which would have wiped me out.That was the idea for that battle for winning it earlier than youre supposed to. Either luck or wait til later. Although if you watch the video I made on the previous page, its doable even if he does use inferno with a buff :)
Quote:Whatever his IQ was, Lu Bu was amazingly gullible; you should give him 40 int but make him unanshaable.40 is like a vegetable lol. But I am considering this option but essentially that would also put him out of the game once you start recruiting officers like Lu Xun with 245 int. or even Taishi Ci who has 150ish intelligence and only a few less str. points than Lu Bu, hence, the INT buff makes him usable all game long and not just another 'unbilletable' officer you dont use sort of like what happens to Huang Zhong after Shu/Wu in the original DOAE, lowest STR/SOLDIERS of the 5 tigers, and not high INT. So I guess this would be comparable to the 230STR 210INT Yuan Shang.
This is why the story explains his big INT gain as you play the mod which obviously is why this MOD is not historically accurate, but then again, neither was the original DOAE. I think Chen Gong would make an excellent tutor, I mean, why else would anyone travel all the way to Luo Sang Village? TO read the destiny of an emperor rise of lu bu novel?
On a personal note, Im not just licensed in graphic design, but Im also a licensed teacher. Education is possible, even for Lu Bu :huohu:
