Mod request

You do realise how difficult this is, right?

They actually aren't that bad, it would just take some time hacking things together. The lua isn't that bad, you just have to spend some time trying things until you get the hang of it.

Morpheas - I looked at your lua and made some changes, but it still hasn't worked. I put it on a backburner while I played with the colors and fixed the minion hp bug. I'll work with it some more when I get some more time.

Are you talking about the Vampiric Effect i tried to put into Entourage?

It was just my noob attempt. I am sure i have made a big mistake in this .lua file , but i cant spot it.

As i dont know the LUA language, i simply copy/paste text in all my mods, making the neccessary changes in it ofc, and trying to make it work. I cant write my own commands, so i try my best with copy/pasting and my simple understanding of obvious things like GetHealthBonus = ......... etc etc

Well you get my point

You two lost me with the modding talk

Yeah. The Vampiric effect. Things looked like they should work. You did screw up the effects and the calls, but I think I fixed all of that. Figuring out the rest of what went wrong I've put on my list of things to do.

As a side note, why not just give them health regen? Vampiric aura's are really overated anyway, they grant weak health regeneration, but only when you attack. It is a lot of overhead for little gain.

Can you tell me what exactly where my mistakes in the code? If you could simply copy paste the text and post it with highlighted the mistakes, that would be great. It would help me knowing "what went wrong", and improve my modding skills.

Thanks

As long as they restore health when enemies are slain than you can call it what you wish or mod it how you wish lol. Wait are you two actually working on the mod now?

I dont, but Ptarth is working on it.

I dont have the skill and knowledge to do it, and Ptarth is great in modding, so it is better that he does it.

I got it to work to the point of giving the QoT lifesteal. It doesn't give her minions lifesteal. It should give allies. I think. I comment out a lot of things which shouldn't really matter, however this should give you a push in the right direction. Once you see where you went wrong, you can start adding back in things like the animations and the descriptions.

uhh interesting....if I actually understood it

edit

Cant wait to see itin action yay!

Great! thank you!

I tried to make everything work at the same time and to have all the effects and give minions Vamp Aura, like erebus does, and i guess thats why i failed.

I will try it soon,

again thanks

heavenlysynn,

The Vampiric Aura works great! Both in QoT and her minions. and ofc the aura applies to allies too.

I got it to work into Entourage, basically Ptarth got it to work

I will now try to get it to work with Ground Spikes, like you asked, i dont know if can make it like Divine Justice but i will try.

Yay thanks let me know how it comes along.

I will upload a mod soon, although it not what you asked for, i am hoping you will like it.

Please do check it out.

ok
