Diablo2:Lord of Maidens - Touhou mod [Completed]

[Kasumi Tani]

I see.

Well, looking forward to the next version (and hope it will still be compatiable with the current saves).

[Kasumi Tani]

Oh, by the way, may I ask a question, Mr. Pesco?

Since your mod has increases difficulty, experience gain and item drops, I am wondering how does it work with simulating additional players, i.e. "/players X" console command, which does the same thing?

In my experience, it seems to be working, at least monsters' difficulty is clearly increasing (and it is a bit harder to be sure whether item drops and experience is improved as well ^_^; ), but I am still curious whether using "/players X" overwrites your difficulty setting, or whether it creates additional difficulty atop of the difficulty you have set?

[Pesco]

I've only reduced the levelling requirements. No other changes for difficulty. /players x is a multiplier applied to monster stats, drop rates and experience.

[Kasumi Tani]

Thank you for replying once again!

Well, looking forward to the next update as before; hopefully it will include Touhou-based story for Act 2 as well.  I liked your dialogues and overall story very much, by the way, and Rinnosuke's comments about Remilia and Marisa were particularly touching.

[Pesco]

Amra writes those. I just make sure the game is still playable.

[Kasumi Tani]

I see. My thanks to her as well, then ^_^

Though one small complain I have is what the Garden of the Sun is doing right outside of the Palace of Earth Spirits      Wouldn't it make more sense to name that location the "Streets of Former Hell", especially since it includes "Oni Bar" as a dungeon? The same complaint goes to Suzuran Field being right next to SDM, when it would make more sense to place it next to the Nameless Hill.

Well, sorry if I sounded too critical here; I know that this is only an initial version, after all, and making locations georgaphically-correct is probably not a priority. Just a couple of inconsistances I thought I'd point out.

[Pesco]

It's all covered in the plot. And there's no canon map of Gensokyo anyway.

[Kasumi Tani]

Well, that is trhe case...  Though the Palace of Earth Spirits kind of underound, while the Garden of the Sun most definitely isn't (or at least wasn't until this incident).

On unrelated note, I am wondering, could you tell me, what a "Bomb Piece" that I have just found is for?  ^_^  (the in game text only says "Required Level: 50", which I don't have yet)

[Pesco]

For crafting. It's in the Documentation.

[Kasumi Tani]

Um, I've read the documentation, and there isn't anything about Bomb Pieces in there... Unless "Bomb Piece" is the same thing as a "Bonus Item" that is a part of two Kappa Cube recipes? (But in that case, what kind of bonus does it add to a weapon/armor? Something random?)

[Pesco]

I haven't decided on what properties the Pieces can craft onto items yet.

[Pesco]

Messing around to make new skills



Making new skilltabs backgrounds :V

[Pesco]

A major overhaul of pretty much everything is being planned. Saves won't carry over and I might need to use a new set of version numbers

What will be changed:
Skills
Items
Base Classes (tentative)

[Amraphenson]

For the sake of not wanting to repeat ourselves:

SAVES WON'T CARRY OVER. DON'T EVER THINK THEY WILL. EVER.

That is all.

[Pesco]

Progress reports







Now for the serious work that I was doing

[Helepolis]

HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF YUKKURIS.

need to dl this after guitar ressons.

[Pesco]

Easy Danmaku



Looping the missile to spawn itself on death.



Lunatic level danmaku that will lag your PC to death :V



The implications of this is that I will be able to replicate spellcards such as Border of Wave and Particle or Maze of Love.

[Pesco]

I'll just need to make these for the other classes and then I can put out another update.





Save files won't carry over. I might put some changes in the map layout to make beta testing easier. Do not expect to play the whole game yet.

[Amraphenson]

4 of the 7 post-revamp class write-ups are done. All that's left is Voile Fairy, Hellcaster, and Oni Fighter. Going to update this post as I finish them.

9/12/2011- Oni Fighter done.

Orz editting the Mountain Dweller is a pain.

[Pesco]

Delay on the update due to wanting to do the skills system completely. As in all the skills work, synergies in place, descriptions and that sort of tweaking.

[Pesco]

Ver 0.43 - 3994kb 13-09-2011

Complete remake of class and skills system.
Modified skilltab backgrounds.
Runes reorganized.
Documentation revised.
MPQ file compressed to save space.

===================

Link for ver 0.43

Skilltabs and skill icons are placeholder only for now. Weapon masteries do nothing yet as I haven't made the weapons. Main feedback I'm after in this update are description errors or skills/synergies other than weapon based ones not working.

[Ace-Royale]

lol Pesco, these modifiers are really troll
*-1489 life for Amulet of the Jackal
*-1746 Mana on some rare necromancer's head thing.

Flandre's Taboo Sign - Forbidden Fruit doesn't display effects on the tooltip.
Mokou's Ikahasa doesn't describe the effects of the skill.

Edit 1 - Master Spark is hilarious - it kills Blood Raven in about 2 seconds, with 5 points into innate, 2 into the spell. Bonebreaker lasted less than a second. This was on /players 8. Does stats (such as Energy) affect spell damage?

[Pesco]

The numbers on effects can be sorted out later. Otherwise, it sounds like the spells work as intended.

Only the tree's unique stat has an effect on spell damage, unless otherwise stated.

[Rotund_Danmaku]

Er... Well
when I play it and have to fight Marisa
I see something not right
Marisa's(Baal's)Clones are *still* titled as name Baal :wat:
I know that maybe HELPFUL to counter ones of Marisa(Baal) annoying skill
But it's a bug...

*Sorry for some hard reading , My level at English Grammar aren't well.
and for don't have the picture :ohdear:

[Pesco]

No problem. That one has been reported to me before and I kinda forgot. Thanks for reminding me.

[Pesco]

Holy crap danmaku :V
[attach=1]
[attach=2]
[attach=3]
[attach=4]
[attach=5]
[attach=6]

[Rotund_Danmaku]

And I don't want to think when I have encounter the "Multiple Shots" rare monster :V

Anyway, look like some items that have ability to increase skill level(in tab) aren't correct yet
they say "An Evil Force" followed by the class name.
When I wear it, nothing happened. :wat:

And...
I don't known that Amra already done with this quest or not but if I can helped I'll do it.

Spoiler:

Act II - Q1 Corpse Collector(From Radament's Lair)

Rumi - Give the Quest and in the Quest's Speech
I don't expect this for you, But if you help us,
The peoples in Earth Spirit Palace and my Twillight Bar Room will be grateful.
Orin , One of Satori's pets , Begin acting strange after the Dark Wanderers have passed the Twillight Bar Room,
They're talking about seaching for Mima's Tomb and simple left with the money and the dishes on table.
After the week, Orin seem to be strange, She look at the guests outside my bar and begin to speak with herself
"This'll be the fine corpse, They're look very well when they become the corpse."
And then the worst have begin....
She killed the travellers whom come here for the drink and then take they corpses to the Earth Spirit Palace's Sewer
After known this, Satori decide to seal the way to the Palace's Sewer to prevent Orin from "Collecting Corpse" again
Anyway, It seem like that ill news are spread so fast. No one want to drink at my Twillight Bar Room anymore.
Please, Go down to the Sewer to defeat her then release her and the unfortunate corpses from the darkness...

Rumi - After the Quest Begin
Be Careful, I have heard that she can control the malice spirit
Maybe she should use them agains you.

Isami - After the Quest Begin
That cat? hmm? She make me scare enough to never get out from the bar forever...

Utsuho - After the Quest Begin 1
I'm wonder why Orin become like this?

Utsuho - After the Quest Begin 2
The only reason that Satori decide to seal the Sewer is Orin have break the Kasha's rule
that say "Never uses the normal and living human as a corpse"

Reisen - After the Quest Begin 1
Orin? She's seem like the normal cat, She don't like the water so she never go to drink water
and other "Liquid" stuffs at the Twillight Bar Room.

Reisen - After the Quest Begin 2
Look like this trouble have made the bar become quite,
It's good for me because I don't like to talk with people and the bar's noise so much.     

Koishi - After the Quest Begin
Please, Help her. I want to play with normal Orin again.

Murasa Minamitsu - After the Quest Begin 1
There're also have the other way to the Sewer, just close to the dock.
Anyway, I'm wonder what the Kasha'll do when they find the lava river in front of them?
Did they use the boat instead of they's cart to across it?

Murasa Minamitsu - After the Quest Begin 2
You're wonder why I am still live at here? At the Kasha's Lair entrance.
Maybe because I'm already dead and my corpse is lost in the sea, So I never care about that Kasha'll kill me and steal my corpse.

Rinnosuke - After the Quest Begin 1
That Kasha, She is one of the mastery in the corpse and spirit control.
I think that she's ability to control the spirit are second to Netherworld's princess only.

Rinnosuke - After the Quest Begin 2
I hope that you can handle this one, Or you'll become Orin's corpse servants.
I think that'll be our's nightmare.

Tenji - After the Quest Begin 1
Ah! I'm wonder that the Youkai's attack at the outside is not enough?
Anyway, The Sewer's entrance will seal itself after you're enter it.
I hope that I'll hear the victory from you living lip instead of hear you screaming before you have been tear apart by that cat.

Tenji - After the Quest Begin 2
After the trouble have begin, The bar is quite so much.
Except for Isami, She is still drink like she's decide that she'll drunk forever.

Tatsumi - After the Quest Begin 1
I'm sorry, I can't help you so much. Rumi have order me to still at the bar.
If I'm not the Twillight Bar Room's Chief, Maybe I'll help you to kill those Undeads.

Tatsumi - After the Quest Begin 2
Anyway, Even myself can't go to help you kill those Undeads
I have some suggestion, I hear that the Poison aren't the good idea to kill the Undeads

Pop-Up Pirate - After the Quest Begin 1
Odin? ah! Orin! She's the very hot, Really "hot" cat that I have even met.

Pop-Up Pirate - After the Quest Begin 2
It's like the joke, Undead are weak to the Flame but Orin, Herself are also the Flame manipulater   

Quest Window

And if you want, You can come here to have the "Free" drink anytime.

Isami - After Complete
Hmm? That cat is already done? Anyway, I'll still at this bar to drink till I'm drunk to my dead!

Tenji - After Complete
Well done. I think the bar'll full of the laughting sound like it should be again.

Tatsumi - After Complete
Nice one. I wish I would like to go adventure and kill any troublesome Youkai and Undead like you.

Pop-Up Pirate - After Complete

Reisen - After Complete

Rinnosuke - After Complete
You can defeat Orin, It mean you are ready for another enemy that Reimu and Marisa summon to stop us from follow them.

Utsuho - After Complete
Thank for save my friend from the darkness. She's my most loved friend. If she's become the evil Youkai.
I must be forced to kill her by Satori. Thank you. 

I don't remember that Satori'll talk about the First Quest or not but I'll write it here if she are talk about it

Satori
...You are one who make Orin to become the normal. Thank you so much.

 
Sorry for bad grammar, And if you want you can edit some of them freely
 

[Pesco]

Lots of items are behaving weirdly because messing with one thing will break a lot of other things. Anything that's 'An Evil Force' is something that's not properly named in the database.

You're welcome to help out with the writing. It's a lot of work to expect anyone to try and handle on their own. This is a very outdated prompt for the overall story. Drop by IRC (link) and give me a poke. If I'm around, we can discuss what you can do to help.

[Rotund_Danmaku]

Look like I find how to write story in Act V(Q4-5)Now :V

Spoiler:

Act V Q4 Betrayer of Mayohiga(Plus)
- If possible, Change the quest name into The Prismriver's Instruments.

- Quest Log Receive
Go to the Prismriver's Mansion throught the gap that Yukari opened and find Layla

- Quest Log Find Layla
Dispose an insane Layla

- After Layla's Dead Chen'll Talk about the Relic. So I made the new dialogue

Chen - After Quest Complete

What! The Prismriver's Instruments have been handed over to Marisa!
I don't believe that Layla trust Marisa enouge to allow Marisa "borrow" the most loved Instruments of her sisters!
And this will cause Marisa to go the Hakurei Border with same time make the Prismriver's sisters mad
and wait to Danmaku anyone that'll follow Marisa at the front of the Hakurei Border. What the worst situation than I thought.

- When she give the quest(I'm not sure this right) Anya(Chen)'ll Talk about that Nihlathak give the Reilic to Baal to make a deal.

Chen - ?

Layla talking like she is complete insane. She say that Marisa'll "borrow" the Instruments of her sisters.
I'm think that isn't good idea. Since that thievery witch can't be trusted.
I'm try to warn her. But the result become that she use some of Marisa's thieved spellcards from the Voile library to freeze me in that cave.
You must stop her before her handed over the Prismriver's sisters most loved Instruments to Marisa.
If she give it to Marisa, The Prismriver's sisters will be mad and the way to the Hakurei Border will become more difficult to reach.
With my superior master's power, You can reach the Prismriver's Mansion throught this gap.
Good luck, and stop Layla from making Prismriver's sisters mad.

Act V Q5 Phantom Dining

- To make it accord with the previous quest. the quest name will change into Phantom Emsemble

Yuugi(Letty?) - Quest Given

It's time to chase the thievery witch, Marisa.
But before that, Marisa's treachery plan make the Prismriver's Sisters become mad and will Danmaku to everyone who follow Marisa to Hakurei Border.
Because the power of the border is so strong, the ethereal spirit like Prismriver's sisters can't follow Marisa to take their instruments back.
So they decide to Danmaku anyone for test their ability that it worthy enough to follow Marisa and take their instruments back to them or not.
Becareful, The Prismriver's sisters are very powerful when ther're anger and resonance their song of wrath and sorrow.

The Prismriver's sisters(Altar of Phantom,Trigger)

We're the Prismriver's sisters. Behold, the traveller.
If you are read this altar. We'll presume that you want to go forward to the Hakurei Border.
So, We'll test you ability with Danmaku before you can enter the Hakurei Border.
Prepare youself!

The Prismriver's sisters(Defeated)

Well, you are strong enough to confront Marisa.
Please, defeat her and take our most loved instrument back to us.
Good luck!

[Pesco]

I just missed you on IRC a few minutes ago :/

I'm making completely new item sets. Set name ideas are still cool to have.
