Reply to Oculus Ball Lightning in Demigod Modding Demigod Forums

I repeated UhelligGudn's search and confirm the lack of a attack speed buff for Ball Lightning. Likewise, there is no code that is suggestive of it being implemented even partially. At this time, given the lack of any other supporting evidence for the existence of a attack speed buff, I would suggest that the tooltip is incorrect. If the ability would be added it would make sense to have the buff be either 5%/5% or 5%/10% since that is the progression that is used for other attack spe

I'd say that we'd have a better chance to get SD support if this becomes a regular monthly/bimonthly event. Like everything else, we need to demonstrate that we are committed to something before we should expect support from anyone.

re:minions and MetaInfantry In-game testing reveals that monks, night walkers (vampires), and siege gunners are not affected by knock back. I'm going to assume that means spirits, shamblers, and the other various levels of idols are also not affect by it, since that also concurs with the code.

re:idol monks & metainfantry I see nothing in the lua to support this. I didn't do an ingame test. re:Warp Area I spent about 10 minutes testing this, but was unable to replicate the behavior. I maxed Warp Area (Warp Area 2 + Furious Blows). I did notice that get units to "fly" well the DA has to be in the middle of a large group of units, typically fighting other things. If i

[quote who="Exxcentric" reply="316" id="2600768"] This is correct... [/quote] Sounds good. I'll go ahead with this then. So, after looking at it, it is time to make some people mad. Should Knockback (overkill) effects instakill? Currently it does, however I'm not sure it was intended. Consider Heaven's Wrath.

I think having unique URLs would be the best approach. Not unique in the sense that every build generates a new link, but unique in the sense that all the builds information is stored in a unique URL. Example of a Character Builder like this. It would also be good to keep the various functions of the site separate. That way each part functio

I increased the effective area and knock back abilities of the metadamage part of post mortem. In essence, whenever something died while post mortem'ed it would cause everything to fly into orbit.

The modding is done with the .lua code that is contained within the dgdata.zip. It is a fairly straightforward language. The nice thing about the UberFix is that every patch is pretty much separate from every other patch. Even contributing one little fix is enough to help out. We'd really appreciate your help if you decide to help out. The current bugs, the todo list, and some basic introduction to modding are all available in the UberFix thread in the modding forum.

I'll add my note of appreciation to your work on creating the website. Before I started looking at the .lua it was my main source for information. I'd also like to make a counter offer. So, given that you've looked at the .lua and have written the javascript to create the site, you've demonstrated a decent amount of coding ability. Would you like to come help out making bugfixes for Demigod? So far the UberFix has found and repaired over 20 flaws in the current version

Rules should probably be established to decide what to do if two teams cannot play each other. I suggest that if teams cannot come to a consensus between themselves that pacov decides who defaults and who wins.

The news post announcing the winners. I'm kinda sad that we didn't get to bet on the winners, prize, and motivation.

I only have dgdata.zip for versions 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21. I cannot confirm or deny previous versions. Given that FollowThroughTime was added (at some point) to abilities, and allegedly increased at some point, I'd want to know why it was added before I feel comfortable about changing it. To my knowledge the only purposes would be for balance and for animations to finish. I don't believe that it was really used for balance and I'm not sure that that is has anything to do with the anima

re:SmokingBalrog's method If I'm not mistaken, the entire method hinges on pacov being honest. He would have to perform the operations without oversight. If pacov isn't trustworthy, then the method doesn't matter. On the other hand, if pacov is trustworthy (which I firmly believe, even if he does get cranky over towers), then your objection is with pacov's random ordering. As hedgie has noted, random is not necessarily fa

I think these qualify as balance changes. I think someone should collect all the balance changes that have been brought up in this thread and combine them into a new thread about proposed balance. I know, I know, I'm a stick in the mud. re: Artillery So, it might make more sense to consider that Artillery refers to Siege damage. The Moho engine didn't include melee weapons, so when they converted it over some liberties about functi

re: Demigods versus Demigod Bad habit really. I can never remember which one it is. Plus the game is about a group of Demigods who are trying to become a new god. It's just like Occulus or Oculus, which is it? (For amusement value, GPG used both.) Edit: The correct answer is Oculus . Which means Morpheas is wrong.

*sigh* The list Frogboy posted was actually formed predominately from the list I created. I've updated the OP so the cross references don't match up, but if you look at the list you can see references to #8 and so forth. These were the original bug numbers on my list. This isn't to say that there were some additional bugs added (there were, and I included after Frogboy posted them). re: Post Mortem So, I spent the afternoon

Well, since it seems to be my schtick, my response to critiques of GPG coding quality is the same as last time. The short version is that I don't feel confident in criticizing their production, especially given the situation. For further consideration I suggest the end of the Wikipedia article on bug fixing . Anyway, I'm more concerned with finding and fixing bugs than blaming others for things. So do you have any other commonly k

re: Regulus bug It is interesting. It uses OnPostDamage to trigger the buff. Only Plague, Maim, and Poisoned Arrows seem to use this function. Poisoned Arrows only works with Arrow attacks. Plague might have the same glitch, at least part way. In my brief testing I believe I heard the plague sound effect when healing an ally, but the buff didn't show up.
