What are you looking forward to most in 1.69?

[LinuxPup]

anyone can fight on a horse.

anyone can fight on a horse.

Maybe so, but can we fight just the horse?

[LinuxPup]

Only if the player is dismounted.

[Lorkar]

Cool, I cant wait to PK a players horse.

[Amoenotep]

pk a players horse while your using your monk...just so they can't catch you

[Korr]

I dont remember reading it off the top of my head, and yes I am too lazy to go running through to figure it out. Does anyone know how they are going to handle mounted AC? Will it be the ride skill check for AC? And will you get +1 AB for being mounted does anyone know (holding higher ground bonus)?

Excuse me for acting as a Necro here, but i had a question on the subject of 1.69
In 1.69 they have the on player chat command or whatever it's called, does that look for a certain word in the string?
If so can this reflect back to the chosen Diety the player has?
i'm more of a VBA programmer than the programming thats in the NWN modules so i'm not quite sure how it would work here.

like:
dim Diety
dim random_event
Diety = Player's Diety. (whatever the path is for the player's Diety)
random_event = whatever is supposed to happen, maybe a bit of a buff. . or a mob comes at you.. something like that
if on playerchat (instring) = Diety then
random_event
end if

I know that's not even the correct way to do it in VBA, but you can get the jist of it if you know any VBA, and i believe it's kinda close to the programming language that you use.


Edit: this is for the "Praise Lathander!" purposes.

[Apokriphos]

Yes, something like that would be very possible. We are all eagerly awaiting 1.69, because of this and much much more

The HIPS discussion made me wonder (always a bad thing, I know).....

If a SD is riding a horse, and he hides, does he pull the horse into the shadows with him? Or does the horse now look like it has no rider? If so, can it then be killed out from under the SD? Or does there exist a blob of shadow on the back of the horse? If so, can it be targeted? If the horse hides with him, does the horse use it's own "Move Silently", or the players? Will there be Enhanced Steel Horseshoes of Move Silently? Will there be any gear for horses? Will that plate barding item finally be useful?

Or, does the SD unride the horse then hide? What about knockdown? Is the horse and person knocked down? Or is the person knocked off the horse? Or the horse knocked down and a reflex save saves the person?

Etc...

[Amoenotep]

a horse is a horse of course of course

[PeregrineV]

What about unicorns?

[LinuxPup]

When a player mounts a horse, the horse is actually destroyed and the appearance of the player is changed to look like that player on a horse. When the player dismounts, the horse is re-created, and the player's appearance is restored to its former state. Also, when a player is mounted certain effects like a bonus to movement speed is given, as well as a massive penalty to skills like hide/ms/pick lock/tumble/etc.

So while mounted, there technically is no horse...

[mgrjebbo]

There is no spoon.

Lol! You do get a boost to resist vs. knockback, I don't think horses can move silently OR hide... I know I can't hide while i'm on mine...



Oh wait, that's in Age of Conan my bad.... but seriously, shadowdancing horses?? that's just plain silly.

What's taking 1.69 so long?! I really want to see some new content in ns4 so i can build new toons, tho I am liking some of the new features that has been added, this is going to be the most polished 'MOG' in the world soon, if not already...

[LinuxPup]

Yeah I'm really tired of waiting too, but not much I can do but dev some more I guess...
