Should we code it that way, then?

No idea.  The thing that gets me is the text on it 'I accept, despite the risks' implies that CHARNAME knows (s)he's losing control.  Whereas 'I choose to turn into the slayer' sounds like quite a niave CHARNAME...

I'd get more people's opinions.

Giant Heads area?
« Reply #27 on: June 04, 2004, 05:31:03 AM »
From Dan Simpson's Faq:

Xander77 found something interesting:

    If you use CLUAConsole to teleport to AR2700 (Only works in SoA) you will
    find the remains of an unfinished test - an area with giant heads (not
    the one you find Illasera in) which force you to do battle with a slayer to
    get a terrifying sword.

    You can get the sword with CLUAConsole:CreateItem("Killsw01")  -
    It's sort of like PST's Eviscerator.

Hmm?

This area is already being worked on.

However, I can guarantee you that you will NOT aquire Killsw01 in that component.

It would be slightly... unbalancing. Only plot devices use weapons like that...

This area is where the Weimeric Ritual is performed.
In making my "mazzy the Paladin" MOD (available at FWM/Modder's Room, or probably also at Icelus.net) I too used this area as a setting (apart from re-naming it bi0000.are to avoid multi-mod incompatibility with the Ritual).

Err...

Seeing how I posted this in the UB section, rather then a generic mod forum, I'm not asking about the area - I'm referring to re-instating the test/slayer battle.

killsw01 is not a sword the PC was ever meant to be able to get; it's wielded by Arkanis Gath in the event that the PC alienates first Bodhi and then the Shadow Thieves, and its purpose is to insta-kill the PC.

AR2700 is where the final Slayer dream takes place; it is listed as "planned" since UB version 1, iirc. ;)

And IIRC, the area Weimer used is AR0069 (used in the dream part of the Slayer component). Did Dan Simpson have any proof about the killsw01, or did he simply assume? Because my game just crashed as soon as I entered that area, before I started tweaking it.

Actually, Dan doesn't mess with the contributions to his Faq - he posts them as they are, bad grammar/spelling and all.

Asking Xander77...

Found out about this from the old Black Isle forums... I obviously presumed that "killsw01" as it is was not the version the player was meant to get, and it would be change to something less messed up if the area/test was ever completed, but I'm afraid that what I actually wrote doesn't reflect that...

Kish, Arkansis Gath's short sword of certain doom is actually STDEATH .

I have posted somewhere before that Weimer's Ritual does *not* use the same area as this... it is just an area that looks exactly the same. There is another one of these at the start of TOB, too.

Yes, I mentionned that. But the area that Weimer used is still used in the Slayer quest.

You're right.  My.  All this time, I thought killsw01 was what he used to instant-kill people.

The ToB starting area looks different.

That new area/slayer stuff...
« Reply #43 on: September 30, 2004, 11:39:50 AM »
Now that WeiDU includes something that can, theoretically at least, add new icons to mapicons.bam, is there any future for the new area which ties in with the slayer change, etc.?

Editing the world map and mapicon.bam files were all that was left to do, IIRC...

Whoa... I think I missed something.  I know Wes added a new command to map notes, but I think I missed something with the mapicons.bam thingamabob.  :(

INSERT_FILE and WRITE_FILE have been added, which means in theory that you can stick new bits of BAM in there.
