Bugfixes

Not working...It just show the increase in damage but no damage is done. If before change (original code), no increase in damage if click on ally troop

Cheers for all the info, I was just wondering if someone could upload the zip from page 1 again, as I really do not want to start a new game (which the patch would require me to) since I am on impossible and level 67

Edit: Never mind, i edited things myself, thanks again for all the info.

There is one. The problem appeared after the second patch.

You should:
1. Destroy Odin's Flag that you have - break it, sacrifice it to valkyrie or sell it.
2. Step outside the castle.
3. Press Shift and ~ to input cheat code.
4. Type "item addon2_quest_odin_banner".
5. Then enter the castle.

You may have the similar problem with the quest for designer clothes. Then you can do the same but use "item cloth_pack" instead.

Song of Svartalfaheim fix - Was giving too much initiative

Spell/Rage crits fix - Criticals were not being applied to either spells or rage attacks

Soothsayer Ice Storm fix - The freeze effect of Ice Storm would only (and excessively) target the center unit

Ice Dragon death fix - Ice Dragons were causing crashes when they died

All of these were fixed in the latest patch. Criticals even apply to damage over time effects like poison, not sure if that was intended.

This fix leads to unexpected heavy damage: i could do 10k+ damage with Ice Storm at lvl 10. This is more a cheat than a fix.
I'm now asking me wether it's good to use any of these user fixes because i hate to cheat!

any fix/workaround for the quest "Ay Vaz's Masterpiece"?

I think he misquoted the line, though it's hard to say because all of the lines have moved since new code was introduced in the patches. Anyway, it's actually a change made to line 1203, which refers to the targeting and not to the damage. As far as I can tell, it's also something they put in Patch 2 so you don't need to make the change anymore.

Hope that helps. And even though you hate to cheat, you really ought to say "are you sure this is right?" instead of making suspicious accusations. We don't like to cheat, either.

As I stated above, it has been fixed.

Thank you fro letting us know how to fix bugs.

But why did you not specify that this files are inside another file and can be only access with programs like ZIP,...

That is such a vital piece of information and leaving it out just makes your post useless to most people.

Edit:

I tried to fix dragon problem and few other things using this bug fixes and none worked. I dont know why, I found files, corrected lines specified and then restarted game and still I got the same problems.

Hi!

What a program do I need to change .lua? I need a program which will show me the line number to change.

EDIT:

Sorry, I know how to do it.
