Bugs and fixes for unofficial patch

[Vince the Conqueror]

im sure with all the the expertise ive seen here on the forums, it cant imagine that it wont go through!

Best of luck, not that it has anything to do with it.

Bug: The diseased plumage and venom sac charms sometimes don't yield a completion bonus. This is because their suffix table contains a reference to a bonus that doesn't exist. I think that the French got this one.

I finally stopped being lazy and made fixes for these.

I'm going to edit my first post in this thread and attach the files.

Other points of interest: I have read that merchants don't sell bows in Epic Egypt. I don't have any Epic level characters right now due to a tragic disk failure, so I can't verify this. Anyone want to check for me?

ShadowLich has done a terrific job fixing Ravages of Time. I think that his solution is going to be the one to use. The side effects of his work around are entirely incidental and don't impact game balance in the slightest.

ShadowLich, Guardian Warrior, and myself have all made substantial progress on Triumph. The current solution is much, much better than my crude initial attempts. There is still a minor side effect, which way or may not be fixable.

At least in Thebes and Memphis, there are no elite bows for sales...

I didn't check out the small shops though, just those big weapon shops.

what about loot tables?

i remember that some items cannot be dropped (some MI? hermes' sandals relic)

also some bosses do not drop armbands (hydra)

[Arminia]

I have done loottables already (see post #17), MI is not a problem of loottables but usually an error in the creatures dbr-file (so lots of work here), Hermes Sandal is not a bug but was intended.

Bosses again is no loottable problem but a problem of the chest dbr (as is that no spears drop from chests).

But there are some more regarding pre- and suffixes, e.g. shields can't get +2 to defense and staffs can't get +1/2 to nature, spirit, storm or earth due to typos in the affix-loottables (so this prefixes have been intended obviously).

[nemhauser]

ah, ok

i'm not so savvy with database yet, so by loot tables i also meant the chests as it turned out. but thanks for clarification

about the sandal - was is intended because it was too weak or too strong? 15% movement can be handy sometimes

I wouldn't call you lazy for fixing a game in your free time.

I checked all the merchants near portals in epic Egypt, none of them sold bows. That's kind of a weird bug...

I'll put up a link about RoT in the OP to his fix thread than.

Yes, I've been following the thread, but couldn't get my hands on it. Good job

Did your loottables fix this problem or are those errors still present?
And what's up with Hermes Sandal?
Edit: nevermind about those sandals, I found the answer here.

The tables I have done so far do not fix them ('ve only done the unique loottables so far), but I intend to do the affix-tables as well, will take some time. With this, the errors mentioned will be fixed (and some other concerning messed up affix-tables as well, unfortunately some strong relics as well, as far as they are obvious errors ...)

[yerkyerk]

Very good

Update: added a topic about contacting people in the OP.

Thx yerkyerk for linking this thread to german forum tq.gamona.de (I guess it was you), but GuardianWarrior (mostly) and me are already keeping the german community up to date.

So far: keep going with your german
