Yeah I know, asking questions is becoming a habit, but hey ~_^ Before i was just dabbling, now i'm trying to make an actual mod.Okay, so, first up, the questions-
So, ressurecting fallen with each other didnt work, but is there any other way round this you think? Would using the baals stupid skeleton return to life thing work on them maybe?
I would really like to simulate the very hard to killness of a group of Nuppibos and Lemures by having them ressurect and/or get back up again. If its not possible though, i'll live =)
Secondly... Blaze. A skill like blaze that should always be on... is that any harder to make than a normal skill, and in theory it should work as its not got an animation to it? My Balors need to flame mercilessly =)
Thirdly... I assume that you cant replace andariel, duriel etc with a different superunique without eating the game? =) A shame, as they all suck, especially Baal =)
Fourthy... Can monsters drop traps that don't shoot each other? I'm willing to try these things if no one has an answer, but my PC is slow as hell and if someone knows you can save me time experiementing =)
Fifthly... changing the poison death of the stupid embalmed corpses... i assume thats not too hard? Manes need to explode in lots of acid =)
sixthly- Can you make onhit effects for a monster- like making in effect a normal monster lightning enhanced?
seventhly- can ball summons be used by other creatures and modified? it would be a shame to have no gating tanar'ri and baatezu
Lastly for the questions... I assume that the entry for the text Undead and Demon *as in does extra damage to demons* and *Demon* under a monsters names, can be changed in string.tbl or whatever?
anyway, now for peoples opinion on the mod ideas. I nhave lots of spare time to make this, and i'm starting to get the hang of things so maybe i'll manage =)
I have the list of monsters i'd include and their abilities, so which are feasible? =)
Blood Hawks- Replace with Eyewings
fallen and fallen shamans would be replaced with nuppirbos and lemures, who i want to get to return to life somehow but which doesnt look possible alas. But maybe i can work something out
little fetishy buggers will go completely.. i hate them so much =)
Giant spiders can stay, as they are Tanar'ri Yochol
Goatmen are Tanar'ri Bulezau of course
the hellhoundy things are Yougoloth- Canaloths, and have poison rather than ice attacks
Vampire Lords are vampires =) Very evil
Zombies are zombies, but the highest level ones would be Bodaks, with a telekinetic attack simulating the death gaze
Wendigos... well.... i have no idea.. maybe i'll junk them =)
Act 2 beasts
the bat demons will be Varragonin- Abysall Bats- Higher level versions would cast lightning and use meteors
Blunderbores- not sure about them yet... possibly Yugoloth Nycaloths
Claw vipers- well, these would be my wonderful Tanar'ri alkilliths, with some neat posion attacks
Gtreater Mummies- now they are a problem.. i may have to leave them out entirely, as i dont want them ressurecting random baatezu =)
those vultures- they should be tanar'ri Vrocks.. but man, they look too sucky for that =) maybe i'll rip the Nabassu from BG1 expansion and replace it with those =)
act three.... please tell me i can lose the dumb fetishes =)
The water snakes are Wastrillith of course
Replace the zakurumites with storm riders.
The council can stay, and they are tanar'ri of some description =)
Act 4-
Balrogs would get blaze skill and a paladin fire aura and be balors
eaters would go, along with egg layers.. they suck =)
Finger Mages would stay as some kind of demon =)
The Knights would also stay as evil tanar'ri =)
Act 5- The Maulers are Baatezu Hamatuala
maggot layers go =)
Imps are Quasits and Imps
Minions are some kind of thing or other =) they cant go =)
Overseers are Tanar'ri Babau
Siege beasts are Tanar'ri Goristroi
and that leaves a lot of space for other monsters =)
I'd have to add the Pit Fiend from BG, Glabrezu, Abishai and a few others from Planescape torment and maybe a drgaon, plus advocates and steel lords, and that would be the monsters =)
so, how feasible is that for someone with too much time on his hands? =)
