...a greatsword with reach for anyone ?

Post by silverdragon72 »

.


...as the reach weapons are to powerfull in TOEE - especially compared to other 2-handed weapons there is a way to give your greatswords a reach effect:


1. open the protos.tab with an editor

2. go to: 4012 obj_t_weapon

3. in this line you have to change greatsword to guisarme - for the best possible attack animation (cleaving) - everything else looks like using a greatsword - besides the ten feet reach !


...and from now on the hommlet blacksmith will sell you masterwork greatswords with reach !


...if you want to change other greatswords search for line 4011 or 4019 !


...btw. there you can change all weapon / item stats (damage, critical range, CR dam. modifier, and so on) but this might be a little bit to cheesy !

see this is a lil mest up

for katanas it is the same as a bastard sword but it does not let you use it as a one handed weapon with exotic weapon bastard sword

i think they shud at least make the critical from x2 to x3 and the threat range from 19-20 to 17-20

how can i do this on my game?

you can make these changes with the BS - search for BS in the protos.tab there should be 3 - 5

look for the text in the line - there is fragarach and a masterwork one...


in the middle of the line you will find something like this:


3 D20DT_SLASHING 1d10 guisarme 20


in this case the 3 is the critical hit multiplier, 1d10 is the damage and the 20 is the crit range...


what I didn't find out is how to change the katana - cause I haven't found one in the protus.tab...

...maybe if you find more then one masterwork BS - one of them could be the katana... but I haven't checked this...


...just wanted a Greatsword with reach for my whirlwinding "Kensai" - and this works fine (minor problem is only that the greatsword gets the attack animation from the guisarme) !


...hope that helps

Where can I find the edtior?

Where can I get the extractor or Editor to pull out the protos.tab? Or is there a place I can just manually download the protos.tab?

if you have the Co8 patch installed you find it under

- data
- rules

you could open it with any editor or wordpad:


I posted in your original thread what to do then...

Hrmm. When I try and give scather reach I go to line 4016 for scather in the protos.tab and change where it says bastard_sword to guisarme and save it, i have a backup, but whenever i start the game with the change, it executes then imediately quits to desktop. If i dont make any changes its fine. I was careful not to make any other changes. Left the same number of spaces in there so as not to change the file size.. I have no idea why it doesnt like it. tried it 2-3 times same problem each time. Is there another number or something I have to change when changing bastard_sword to guisarme?

sorry guys, i figured it out and it wont let me delete my post, wordpad kept adding 2kb to the file size even if i opened it, made no change, and saved it.. prolly a formatting thing.. when i made the change through notepad everything worked great.
