I haven't looked at the Bestiary Skills, but I'm guessing that's not right.

When you import a character into a mod, the mastery combos aren't the old ones, but are called like the new ones, even though it's an old character.

So it's not Slayer, Haruspex etc. anymore, but the names of the appropriate combos of Masteries. :/

And have you tried this with or without exiting the TQ with Masteries mod on?

For once you load the Masteries mod, it is always on until you restart TQ...I think...

Btw, does PinkFrog and you also read the mastery specific forums for feedback or just this thread?

Otherwise I'd post my feedback in the appropriate forum instead of here.

Yeah, either i.n.s.a.n.e or me are browsing the different threads. We are sharing the "read"-load

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this..........

every time I exit from my masteries character my other non-masteries characters loose their equipped gear. My old characters are slowly becoming naked. Is this happening to any one else?

You aren't losing anything - the character choice screen only displays items recognised from the game version last loaded, whether the original game or a mod; the items are still there on the character.

Hey PinkFrog, got a Q fer'ya...

Is it possible to add a new mastery without replacing any of the old?

Hello all...
Is it normal that with electrical shot, sometimes a mob doesn't take the damage ? I mean the mob i aim take the damage, but a mob near the first one isn't injured systematicaly. Sometimes, yes, sometimes, no, whereas the animation show he should always take the damage.
I don't now if i'm clear, excuse my bad english...
But the "lightning sorcerer" is very fun and powerfull in my mind. Good job !

I think i wrote it somewhere in the readme that this is happening but no danger to the integrity of the chars.

Here's a little explanation: to show the chars in the menu the character values (str., int... armour etc.) are read (but not changed, of course). Now, as you know, all masteries increase stuff like str., dex and int. Those attributes are needed to wear armour. So, if the mod is loaded the game can not find the "normal" masteries because they are replaced. Therefore the increased str. int. and dex cannot be found either. Like this the armour-requirements are not met and the character cannot wear the armor for the menu.
But because the values are only read and not overwritten, next time you are playing normal TQ again the game can find the proper masteries together with the attributes and can put the armor back to the character

It's not necessary to know that but reassuring maybe, because it's neither a mystery nor buggy...

Have fun!

To be honest the electrical shot is one of the skills that is pretty much the same as in TQ. The electrical shot is an area-damage-spell with a tiny radius (approx 1 m.). So, if the mobs are close together they will be affected and a few centimeters more distance can make the difference. But there's also the jumping from target to target. This also needs a certain closeness to work. And it only works up to 6 targets i think. Must check the exact number again. So if you have many monsters the first 6 will be hit and the 7th will be spared.

I hope i was able to help

Hey PinkFrog, got a Q fer'ya...

Can you elaborate a bit? Adding it to normal TQ or to the mod like a tenth mastery? I am still not sure about it. There's a fixed amount of skill-trees implemented in the chars. And their total is 10! But IronLore uses the tenth for the skills that you get as bonus for quests (e.g. the resistance-buff for bringing the twig to Delphi) But maybe its possible to move the quest-skills onto the artifact-trees. There are some empty slots there. That would free the tenth tree. What happens then i don't know. Maybe the number is hardwired after all. I cannot tell.

Edit:

A question to german-speaking people: is anyone interested in translating the modstrings.txt into german? The french version is in preperation so it would be great to have the german one too, i think, but I don't want to do it myself atm. I will eventually but right now i'm concentrating on fixing stuff...
Feel free to contact me via PM or whereever...
