Kyshakk Koan Kennedy Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Would it be possible to make retroactive benefits for creations? For example say you make a Fyora when you only have one in fire shaping, Later your fire shaping improves. It would be nice if the bonuses gained from the increase can be retroactively applied to your creations. Having to absorb your old creations after they have gained levels to make stronger low level creations is rather bothersome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Well, your creations gain levels with you so absorbing them and recreating them would probably make something worse overall. It could be interesting and useful from a playing perspective, although it does make little actual sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 You have to calculate whether the new creation is more powerful than the one that has levelled up with you. The easiest way is to save the file and then absorb the creation and recreate it. Then you can compare the stats from the two versions. If you've gained enough shaping levels/items/creation levels then it might payoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Kennedy Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well, what I was hoping was that any benefits from skill gains would be applied to the creature upon increase. So if you create a Fyora when you have 1 fire skill and 1 create Fyora, then later on your skill in fire is 5 and your skill in create Fyora is 4 after it gained 12 levels I would like it to be as if the Fyora had been originaly created with the skills at those values. It is probably to late to change the code to allow this, but can it possibly be done using a script? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I don't think it can, and I'm not sure that it's really necessary or even desirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk MagmaDragoon Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I have noticed that many time in GF3 is better to keep your initial Fyora... When I found the Dryak Shabing Skill, the old Fyora was still better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Igor Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 One mistake I made in GF 3 was absorbing both my old fyoras to free up essence for a cryoa. Both fyoras were of a higher lvl than the cyroa was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk MagmaDragoon Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I said before you have to compare the old and new creations to determine which is better. In the first few areas of GF2, I was increasing by fire creation skills faster than my creations were leveling up so it paid off to replace my cryoa with a more powerful version for the same amount of essence. It doesn't always work so you have to decide based upon your individual circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
