Class+Race Pack

Submitted by minmay on Sun, 2020-05-03 09:09

Adds several new classes and races:
- Bladebender class: Psionic melee fighter that triple-wields daggers and has "meta" talents that can modify other talents.
- Harbinger class: Wilder melee fighter that channels storms through their attacks. More powerful against groups of foes than against single targets. Their class talents do not use resources.
- The Cooler Anorithil class: Revamp of the Anorithil class that must directly alternate between Solar and Lunar talents instead of managing positive/negative energy.
- Zephyr class: Basically a ranged and exclusively lightning-based version of Arcane Blade. Overpowered, not a serious class, and mostly exists to demonstrate instant projectiles.

- Moon Fox race: Race that can radically transform class and generic talents by attaching tails to them.
- Dreamelf race: Overpowered race that can reposition enemies and shorten talent cooldowns.
- Lich race: Undead race that can convert a portion of all their damage into a damage type of their choice.

This addon also makes a couple other changes to make the Zephyr class work:
- Feather Wind is no longer snapshottable, provides less defense but provides both melee and ranged defense, and its maximum encumbrance is no longer spellpower-dependent.

Other than that, the addon tries not to affect existing classes/races/talents. The new classes won't appear on enemies or Adventurers.

You may freely modify and redistribute this addon and its contents, except where otherwise indicated in the Credits section below.

Troubleshooting Distracted Tail Lua

Submitted by Towerdepths on Wed, 2024-09-25 08:30.

Just as a heads-up, when looking into the tails.lua file to determine whether or not Distracted Tail just needs a bugfix, I noticed that it is defined, but it lacks any code that would actually give it an effect. While I'm new to the game and to lua modding in general, I'm also interested in how the Moonfox race would play (given how Distracted seems like it would be a staple if it works properly) and will see if I can figure something out. Hopefully there isn't any issue with that, especially since the addon hasn't had an update in two years.

EDIT: It appears that the same is true for Precise Tail, Inverting Tail, Twitching Tail, Splitting Tail and Singular Tail. They have conditions for attachment and subsequent black/whitelists, but no actual effect, at least from what I can see in the lua. The race is quite cool in concept, so it's a pity to see it in a half-finished state like this, but I'll see if I can bring it over the finish line.

EDIT 2: Yeah, I have no idea what I'm talking about lol. I can't even find the code making Focused work like it should (it still functions, even with the code removed from tails.lua). At least this is a learning experience tho. Still trying to figure this out.

EDIT 3: It looks like the issue is the 'isAttachedTailActive(tailid)' function. The only difference in the code that affects the effective talent level between Focused Tail and Distracted Tail is in the aforementioned function being an initial trigger. It's only after the function returns a non-false (non-0) value that it begins checking talents for the Distracted Tail. I literally commented out the 'isAttachedTailActive(tailid)' function and it's working.

That being said, it's now firing on all talents, regardless of category or whether or not I even use the Distracted Tail. it looks like it affects every talent, not just the ones in the Tail's current tree, and might be worth putting a talent point investment requirement into. For instance, a Distracted talent could require 3 talent points to function, since doubling the effective level of everything else, even if just in that specific talent category, is incredibly powerful.

EDIT 4: I figured it out. In the Actor.lua file, the 'isAttachedTailActive(tailid)' function just needed some pruning. All it needs to check is the following:
if self.moonfox_tails and self.moonfox_tails[tailid]
If the above is true, return true. Else, return false.
Once I made this change and placed the updated lua file into the addon, Distracted Tail started working exactly as intended.
Well, I have to say that was a rather enlightening trip into troubleshooting Lua. Apologies if my earlier statements came off as a little know-it-all, that was hardly my intent. In any case, for anyone that wants to get the Distracted Tail talent working on Moonfoxes again, the solution I listed above should do the trick. Probably not the smartest thing to spend my sleeping time working on, but I was on a roll lol. Anyway, leaving this here (edits included) for posterity.

Moon fox Distracted tail doesn't work

Submitted by Vash The Stampede on Wed, 2023-02-22 20:18.

The Moon fox race's minor tail "distracted tail" doesn't seem to work. When used, the effective talent level of the other talents in the category don't change, unlike "Focused Tail" which does show the effective talent level change correctly.

bladebender bug

Submitted by wrana5 on Sat, 2021-07-17 16:08.

At high levels (I got Adept prodigy so talent level was about 8) Meditative Focus talent started to call up each turn asking to determine the talent it should work with again and again. The class itself felt okay at lower levels until, after getting that Adept, I achived flat resistance of about 100. That was at about level 30, but probably could get it earlier if not spending so much time and points on experimenting. After that, it was mostly just hooking opponents to me, disarming then mostly bumping even bosses to death. Which reminds another thing: too few active talents to spice up a combat. Just hook-disarm-burst then bump to death. Use speed up for uniques+. Though at lvl 40 it was probably needed only for bosses. Specialties looked interesting, but again, due to low number of critical talents, it soon became appparent that they are only useful for 1-2 talents each... :((
