Ok so I'm about to do a final run through BG2 and I've made a long sword, the Green Destiny, coincidentally for a female Kensai named Jen Yu.

Anyway, whenever I equip it, the game crashes. I have sucessfully made items before, and cannot see anything wrong with this one.

Here's the link.

And yes, I know it is sickeningly powerful. This weapon will eventually grow in power as my character levels. You're looking at the final weapon, when my Kensai hits (if at all) Lvl 30.

So why doesn't it work?

Mmmmh...Doesn't work indeed.

Could be several things:

• Incorrect internet adres.
• Problems at Spiffyinc
• Lauzy Internet Explorer
• Something else

Talking about the link, am I.

Not work does the link.

How are you getting the item into the game?
- Via CLUAconsole?
- Via Shadowkeeper?
- Via something else?

Or run through the item file trying to spot
some of the mistakes you could have made...

 

First, fix the link, then I'll take a look at it. But I bet the problem was some little thing you missed while creating it, try to re-make it.

 

Try to remake it?!? This took forever to make!! I already had to remake it once too!!! (It has 12 item effects and 26 equipping effects.)

Okay it's on my GeoShitties account now.
I just got beverage.spiffyinc.com and am still learning Apache.

Here's the link.

And of course I used CLUAConsole to create it in game.

[Edit]
Once again Geocites amazes me with its total lameness. You'll have to right click and copy the link, then paste it into your URL box since apparantly geocities no longer allows outside linking to its pages.

F*** that.

[Edit again]
Here's its stats:

Equipped Effects:
+4 Dexterity
+4 Wisdom
+4 AC
+4 AC vs Missle Weapons
+50% Magic Resistance

Protection from Charm
Protection from Time Stop while equipped
Improved Haste while equipped
Negative Plane Protection while equipped
Immune to Maze/Imprisonment while equipped

Combat Abilities:

Each sucessful hit drains 5 hit points from the target and transfers them to the wielder. This will not bring the wielder's hit points over the maximum
Dispel Magic upon sucessful hit

THAC0: +6
Damage: 1D10 +6 +5 Life Drain +2 Fire +2 Cold +2 Electricity +2 Acid +2 Poison
Damage type: Slashing

Usable Only By:
Good Aligned Kensai

Once again let me remind you; that's the weapon when its wielder is LVL 30... yes I know its obsenely powerful. Originally it was going to have a 5% chance to cast Time Stop too.

[Yet another edit]
I have found the Bonus AC vs weapon type that had nothing set in the extension header and removed it. The game still crashes when it's equipped.

[Yet ANOTHER edit]
Protection from Time Stop constant now set to 1 as per instructions.

Game still crashes.

[Final edit]
w00t
Dexterity modifier type/bonus values were reversed.
Weapon now works.

Don't know what to tell you. But, try taking off the Immune to Maze/Imprisionment, and (Combat Abilities:
Each sucessful hit drains 5 hit points from the target and transfers them to the wielder. This will not bring the wielder's hit points over the maximum)
You wont need that anyways, if you have the ring of Gaxx. If it still doesn't work keep taking off features untill it works, then put everything back on...except for whats causing the problem...then post what it was.

 

Kitrax, read this that was on his post above yours:

He fixed it, he doesnt need to take anything off.

though personally I would take most of that stuff off, or atleast tack on a couple of hefty disadvantages.

 

Are you gonna summon 2 of these and dual-wield them?

 

Yea it's been toned down heavily now (Wisdom/Dex bonus gone and the elemental damage was removed, dont know why they were there to begin with) and I'm working on scaling its abilites every 5 levels of the weilder.

I hope not. One would be bad enough. (for game balance and the enemies) Like the sword though and wouldent mind having it in my game if i was just playing for story

 

Dude - Thats not a sword. It's a Main Battle Tank in a blade form.

Why not re-design Kill Sword?

 

It's not that much more powerful than half the crap towards the end of ToB.
