Progress report (2011+) Options

[aigleborgne]

After all this years, it's good to start a new thread

Side work:
- Monsters : preparation task (sort, group, and find stats) : 100%
- AI script (complete rework in progress) : 50%

Main component:
- BG1 Monsters : 10%
- BG2 Monsters : 0%
- BG1 Adventurers: 0%
- BG2 Adventurers: 0%

At this moment, it seems that I undo some of my previous work (compared to old progress report).
This is true, but it isn't the same quality, it is a lot higher now.

With my new own tools and material, I'll be able to work 5 times faster on main components later on and still get an overall better result.

I have finished all cleric and druid scripts.
For maintenance and improvement issues, I have made some changes in my generator. Now, each block can be associated with a level, so when I generate a script, I can restrict all blocks to a maximum level.
This way, I have one file containing all spells : cleric and druid. Then each script set their own level variable.
Drawbacks : I can't make specific spell order
Advantages : adding a new spell, modifiy spells conditions, change order... and it happens often currently!

I have started to work on mage scripts and with Spell Revision, I am very happy to make spellbooks!
I use PnP rules to make spellbooks : a kit must have at least one spell of its school memorized, and when it is not too much, I use PnP opposite schools. So conjurer can't access to invoker spells.
I think it is more balanced but can be seen as a nerf because players don't have these restrictions. But Spell Revision help a lot here, with many spells that was useless before and are now good !
Kits try to use many spells of their own schools, but I am often limitated with balance and spells availability.
