Lolth w/ mobils and items

[Staceman]

I'm an old school D&D player (as I'm sure a lot of you are). Here's a bit of nostalgia for you GDQ freaks like me. By the way, this is my first submission.

Add DrowLolth wherever you want. I made her a boss to the spider cavern on Illshenar.

On damage, she has a chance to spawn helpers (drow, terathan, spiders, etc). After she is "killed", she transforms into her true form, a huge spider.

New files:
Drow Lolth - Lolth in her drow form (spawn this one)
Spider Lolth - her "true" form
trapdoor spider - a repackaged orc scout with venom
Rod of the arachnid and spells - a modified glacial staff that has "web" and "dark strike" capabilities
Fangs of Venom - a warfork that has a chance to inject greater poison on each hit (never runs out)

Install:
Just drop into your customs folder and spawn DrowLolth.

Some of the helpers Lolth calls is from malgrimace's Drow Mobils v 2.

Drow Mobiles V2
Lots of Elves
If you don't want to use those, edit the DrowLolth.cs file and put in whatever mobils you want.

Thanks:
God, from whom all blessings flow.
Dev team - Great job!
malgrimace for the drow
jaynigs for the orc scout
Can't remember who did the glacial staff I modified, but thanks anyway.
All the other scriptors out there that I have learned from.

*edit*
My shard is a home-run shard with only 3 people on it (me, wife, daughter).
With that in mind, I have to tone down some monsters as often we have to solo tough monsters. You may need to beef up some of these for your own shard.

*edit part 2* Added a link to malgrimace's elf pack.

I'm reading a sub-series of the Forgotten Realms books right now; it's called War of the Spider Queen (by R.A. Salvatore). This book has drow elves/Lolth/etc. Very interesting... nice release

[Staceman]

Thanks.

I am a fan of Salvatore's early stuff (Crystall Shard, etc).

I'm a fan of ALL Salvatore's stuff including his starwars novels.

Hmmm. I didn't know he had written Star Wars novels. I'll have to check them out.

I usually stick to fantasy over Sci-fi but I love his writing style...

heh, now this threads going off target, but I wanted to respond anyway. I don't normally read sci-fi but my friend wanted me to start reading the StarWars books and I started with the New Jedi Order series (the first of which Salvatore wrote) he also wrote either the first or the second ofthe Prequals too, I read all the NJO books so, I really no longer remember who exactly wrote what, but Terry Brooks also wrote one of the Prequals as well (who if you're familiar with fantasy you would know what was written by that author). *Greystar reads a lot*

[joshw]

Hmmz star wars books hmmz lady vader hehhe and a clone luke hehehhe sounds interesting lol

[kaiovas]

[brainless]

I think it's Lloth, not Lolth, but anyway... this pack looks nice, good job and thanks for sharing.

ACK! You're right. I've been calling her Lolth all these years. I feel stupid. LOL!

And thanks.

Bloody hell. I'm suprised people still use my Drow scripts. Glad I could help though

Just thought I would let you know. Other than that looks great. I also found this link but its broken when I tried it http://www.runuo.com/forum/showthrea...hlight=highelf. So I guess I go searching.

Ok cant find elves which is no biggie I just edited the oppositiongroup.cs. Drows Hate Titans!!...hehehe...springwater on the otherhand where do you get that from??

[Staceman]

Here's where the elf scripts come from. Spring water is part of the druid spell regs I think.

Sorry about that, I forgot about the good elves.

Staceman one more thing I changed my oppositiongroup.cs as I said before. But as far as Malgrimace's drows go. His name file gives a warning in the console. I dont know how to fix it. It compiles and everything but it does give this warning:

Just letting you know again incase Malgrimace can fix it or possibly you can. But I have been tinkering with em. I am gonna make a newbie dungeon with them. Thank You Good Job.

Staceman!


Hey! Thanx for this package. I downloaded it not long after you put it out. I wanted to thank you for making it possible for me to do a little tweeking to your script in a way that I decided to put up what I did with her on my shard.


She comes with a few items naturaly as well as a chance of dropping other artifacts when she bites the dust. Hope you dont mind me posting my version of your script. She has a diffrent look and feel.


Thanx again!


Oh! BTW. I made it worth the items when you roast her. She's NOT an easy one at all. So those items are well worth it when you finaly take her down (evil grin)

Not at all. Sharing and modding is how I learned to script, what little I know. If it wasn't for that, I would still be running the vanilla version. 8)

Hmmm.... I'll have to check it when I get home from work.

[malgrimace]

In response to the errors people are getting with my Elven script, ensure you added the custom names, as stated on the original "lots of elves" post I made.

You have to open RunUO Software Team\RunUO 1.0 RC0\Data\names.xml and edit the file.

Look at this post to find out more about this.

[Gaea]

I have the custom names added but still get the same error....

Go to RunUO-1.0.0/RunUO 1.0/Data/names.xml, and press Ctrl+G, and type in 651, and it will skip you to the line with the error on.

You then want to look at the code above that, since it appears that one of the naming declarations is wrong.

What you're looking at, should look something like this:

<namelist type="DrowFemale">

L'm'lith, Vorficlya, Isebrilia, NÃndra, Anodia, Hodith, Galirith
</namelist>

Make sure it looks something similar to this. I also noticed that when I took the code from the site for the example, there were some Unicode symbols which shouldn't be in the names. You may have to remove these.

Try this and see if it works.

[xX_Devious_Xx]

If you happen to get that working how about posting the entire file because for some reason I can't seem to get it names.xml to open

I opened mine with visual studio 2003 (rt click, open with...)

Make sure it looks something similar to this. I also noticed that when I took the code from the site for the example, there were some Unicode symbols which shouldn't be in the names. You may have to remove these

Heh, I wondered if those should be there
Ok, I took out the unicode symbols, worked perfectly, THANKS!

[xX_Devious_Xx]

I got it to open. But I think mine is different than yours.

I dont have those names in mine. I have
<namelist type="DrowFemale">
Elaug, Char, Myr, Lua, Jhan, Lar, Lineeer, Triel, Olor, Erel, Rhyl
</namelist>
</names>

Maybe I got something wrong. But I opened it with Notepad. It worked so i am not complaining. If need be I can post the entire file here. Just let me know. Thank You

[Lord_Greywolf]

opening an xml file for editing is easy - just drag it onto notepad

soooooo much easier

Check line 482 ( i think its males...then scroll allll the way at the end of that there should be a </namelist> before the next <namelist> adn set of names ( i think Drow males was next on mine)

I was missing the endtag </namelist> from that also.
