The BoM item pack (It's out!)

Remove all ads!

Thanks again for making a good mod. At least in my opinion it's pretty good.

 

Aaww !

That alone makes it worth my while (and, I'd guess, Mag's and Mal's while too ).

 

V. 1.3, and with that what's supposed to be the "last" version is now out!
From hereon any future version will probably not hold anything but bug fixes (though I may add some music and ambients to the area at some point).

Since first posted a lot of things has been changed, ditched, re-introduced, and changed once more. It's actually harder than one would think to "balance" things. However we have done that the best we could, and hope you, like we, thinks that this is a fairly balanced item pick, which still adds items worth your while.

I would definitely recommend that you download the lates version! And there's a number of reasons as to why, amongst which the most important is that I registerred my prefix at BWL' IE Community Filename Prefix Reservations. By doing this, amongst other things, some global conflicts was resolved (and any fuuture ones -hopefully- prevented)! Furthermore I've worked hard on resolving any bugs that has been reported while this mod was in development.

Here's a "full"(as full as it gets) list of all the changes since the first version:

V. 1.1 [Beta]
- Added the store to ToB.
- Structured my files, thus solving some in-game and translation problems.
- Added about 30 new items.
- Major changes to how Tal is trigered.
- German translation made by Schaf!

V. 1.2
- updated the readme.
- Arabwel's Cut-throat nerfed: Magic res. reduced to 10%, backstab modifier reduced to +1. This item was way too overpowered.
- Correct the desc of Laiwethel's Mageblade. It now correctly shows that: there's a 25% chance of dispel magic on hit. Furthermore it is now, as it's supposed to, usable by Sorcerers.
- Corrected the mage-kit specific staves, as they were flagged wrongly.
- Corrected Description on the Helm of Flaming. It can throw a Fireball onca a day, though this wasn't written in the desc.
- Added some custom spells to Tals casting cycle.

V. 1.3
- Overhauled Tals script; he is no longer such a cheese merchant (i.e. you can interrupt most of his spells, etc.), but still far from easy to defeat.
- changed all prefix' used (from variables to .cre 'names' ); some compatibility conflicts was solved by doing this.
- Minor changes to items.
- Removed the 25% chance of dispel magic on hit from Laiwethel's Mageblade. That was, imho, too much of the good.

When I say that Tal's combat script was overhauled, I mean that it was overhauled! It was a total re-do, and if you've ever fought him, you'll notice when fighting him next (note, however, that by this I don't necessarily mean that you'll have an easier time).

So, if you want an as bug-free experience as you can possibly get (with this particular mod, I mean ), you would want to DL and install the Boards O' Magick item pack v. 1.3.

Thank you for downloading! I hope you'll have as much fun playing as we had creating this module.

-Olimikrig.

P.S. If we ever open up for new item additions (which is possible), you'll be sure to see a thread here in the ToB Forum .
