So, if I weren't using Phoebus and using Ironhand like I currently am, how would I go about using v.6, or would I have to use .4 anyway?

[Tarran]

Do this:

Well, if you don't want to play with graphics, you can always gut the graphics version of it's new files until Deon starts paying actual attention to what we're saying. There are seven files I have identified, but I cannot guarantee that these are all of them or that this will work, since I've been playing .4 due to a very long lasting adventurer.

entity_witcher.txt
interaction_witcher.txt
language_LATIN.txt
plant_potions.txt
reaction_witcher.txt
creature_witcher.txt
interaction_wizardry.txt

If Ironhand has graphics for humans, then presumably you could go to your graphics files and give the Witchers the same graphics if you wanted to.

Issues after playing .6 with a Witcher:

HOW do I harvest plants? The good genesis 'old random plant from nothing' reaction isn't there, and just can't find a way to pick up the plants showing up on a map. It's quite embarassing to starve in the middle of endless Plump Helmet fields (yeah, plump helmets above ground, WTF) and impossibru to get thread so I can't make a backpack... and sadly, bandits or dwarves (even soldiers) don't seem to wear or store those either.

[Deon]

Plump helmet fields come from dwarven hamlets.

And you can get TONS of food in any city.

I have a slight suggestion for the potion-making:
Why not make something like a potion base, to which you add ingredients for different effects?  That way you have more complicated potions and they're slightly more balanced.  You could start with an empty flask, then add some basic ingredient to it to get a potion base, then just add whatever ingredients you want to that for the better potions.

Would all these fancy potions work in fortress mode as well ? Just making them an alcoholic drink with the syndrome/interaction would make dwarves drink it... difficult to control though. Again, the old trick with boiling stones would still work i guess.

The 0.2 is up. I've added the madness spell, the polymorph is now called "eagleform" and it's now a potion effect. Also there's now a speed potion.

I'm still playing around enjoying the new elements of the game. I also need some time to tweak and build a new crafting system for scratch. So expect a lot of small updates with tweaking and changes frequently.

I also consider potions with effects mostly for flavor, like immortality potions (you don't have to worry about aging in adventure mode which require rare reagents like dragon skulls, and also I will add vampirism and werewolf cure (both for adventure and fortress modes).

How about a potion that you brew from dragon brains, that gives you scales and wings and makes you immune to fire and makes you bigger (maybe not dragon-sized) and so forth to make you draconikier? And stuff like that. Or roc feathers being made into an amulet that can summon a cloud that lets whoever is engulfed in it fly for a while...or a hydra blood potion to make you heal faster...or a minotaur horn potion which makes you stronger and makes you grow horns...or a cyclops eyejuice (preserve reagent?) potion that makes you only have one eye for a while...or, or, or.

[Meph]

Just tested some, they do work in fortress mode quite well. I incorporated one into my mod, for testing. Full report here, first page: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=101264.0

Turns dwarves into golems, if you built a custom toy first, called golem. Then you can imbue the lifeless golem statue with the lifeforce/soul of a willing dwarf, who sacrificies himself to serve the mountainhomes. (PS: I like dragonage)

Or a bronze colossus statue that turns you into a bronze colossus.

Wait...

This bugs me as well.

Also, tested 0.6 some more with my spine-injured Witcher from yesterday. Luckily, Eagleform potion can be made from ingredients freely available in great quantity in human towns (seriously, what's with the quantum food supplies in random houses?), people still talk to me once it wears out, and it heals all injuries.

Issues:
-carving knives are nigh unobtainable, I haven't found a shop which sells them and they aren't typical bandit loot or civilian equipment either... I suggest adding the knap stone carving knife reaction from genesis (did it myself, took me ages to find small rocks) or better yet mod the reaction to require the large dagger everyone starts with.
-zombies are fast and freakishly strong. Shouldn't it be one or the other instead of both?

[Deon]

Wait, I meant to replace them with large daggers, didn't I fix it? Damn, I will release a fix soon.

[FritzPL]

-zombies are fast and freakishly strong. Shouldn't it be one or the other instead of both?

I don't think that is associated with the Witcher mod, no. Blame The Great One.


Also Deon, why don't you add harvesting plants like in Genesis mod, as it was said earlier in this thread? It is a pain in the ass to find a valley herb and other things, and I couldn't find any plants in the market.

[Tirion]

AAaand, here's the bugfixed vanilla version Sadly, not safe-compatible

For balance? But really, finding Rope Reed for backpack making is a pain in the rear.
