Articulate Vlish posfan12 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 In AV5 lamps were really necessary for caverns and such since they were very dark. However, everything in AV6 seems to be lighter, making lamps seem useless. Are there any other uses for lamps? Do they increase your chance to hit in dark areas? Also, does Anatomy work just for melee and missile attacks, or for spells as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 No, the effect of lamps is purely cosmetic. If you find that you don't need them, you can happily throw them away. Anatomy works only for melee attacks, and only against humans, nephilim and slithzerikai. It's not really a great skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Archaeolagent Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Thurilith -- did you end up confirming that last part? No anatomy damage to goblins or ogres or vahnatai, for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I think someone else did. It definitely doesn't work on giants, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Archaeolagent Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I doubt anything else has been confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Archaeolagent Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Just for you: Code: 0 Human1 Goblin, Ogre, Gremlin, Gazer2 Nephil3 Slith4 Giant5 Lizard, Wyrmkin, Drake6 Worm, Cave Crawler, Scuttler, Rat, Bat, Wolf, Hellhound7 Black Shade, Demon8 Skeleton, Ghost, Hraithe, Vahnavoi9 Spider, Chitrach, Pit Crawler10 Slime, Fungus, Shambler11 Sentinel, Golem, Crystal Soul, Energy Sphere, Crystal Pylon13 Vahnatai Aside from Gazer showing up in the demihuman group, this is an unusually rational distribution of cr_creature_type variables. But it still doesn't answer the question of WHICH categories of creatures anatomy will work on. I don't think that's been tested -- the only thing I can find is you me and Alorael making wild guesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Txgangsta Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I say it should work on 0, 1 (why is gazer there?), 2, 3, 4, and 13. It would give use to the skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Archaeolagent Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Presumably, Gazer is in category 1 for the same reason that the scripts refer to drakes and drayks and hellhounds as roamers. (The clawbug references, thankfully, seem to have been expunged.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Txgangsta Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Is that because avernum now uses the geneforge engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Archaeolagent Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Yes, and the abruptness of the duplication was particularly evident in Avernum 4. *stay calm slarty... stay calm... stay...* 227CLAWBUGSCLAWBUGSCLAWBUGSCLAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Slarty - How many clawbugs, I mean chitrachs were there in Avernum 4? Jeff's recycling computer code leads to lots of interesting problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt Tirien Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Lets just refer to them as.....Chitbugs from now on? Also, what happened to the GIFTC from avernum 5? I was hoping it would make a reapperance on avernum 6.. Slarty certainly derailed this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I guess Sliths killed those or Mel got pissed on them and ate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
