bows... another silly suggestion.

[bipolar bear]

I have spoken with a some folks in game and most say there is a need for a wider assortment of bows. right now the only real one that's worth much of anything is the ice storm at sure shots...

my suggestion.. there was a hugh selection of bows in the old natures vanguard store.. would it be possible to bring them out to the public for varity?


thoughts?

wouldn't mind seeing more blue long ranged items in shops in general. i'd love to see exigo have some crazy gnome like crossbows that can accidentally explode on the user.

More bows would not be bad. Currently the crafting system only supports putting Fire and frost on ranged weapons; the other elements bedamned, apparently.

More items with interestingly scripted detriments would be cool. Gives your bog-standard item a bit more character.

I would like to add Slings to this ranged weapon request. There aren't any real nice ones available on the server.

And since so many enemies are immune to fire and cold...

Weapons will be added to faction stores relatively soon.

I know I'm going to incur the wrath of Devs everywhere for this but would it really be that hard to cross out whatever code it is in the Shock/Corrosive/Thundering weapon crafting script that doesn't allow it to be applied?

I seriously have no idea about coding....I'm just picturing something that says "Check if ranged weapon: YES=crafting fails, NO=crafting possible"

Cheers.

We don't have a coder with the experience required to undertake an overhaul of the crafting system.

The last attempt to do small changes didnt go so well.

I think that may have precipitated from my inexperience and using a spreadsheet program instead of TLKedit to poke at values.

To get elemental enchantments available for all weapons, a change to three cells (lines 4, 6, and 10; column 'item-types') to match the value of lines 5 and 7 for the same column of Sundren2da.hak/nx2_enchanting.2da
The value would be changed from (0, 3) to (0, 1, 3, 21), which correlates to (melee weapon, staves) to (melee weapon, ranged, staves, gloves) (refference used: Sundren2da.hak/itemtypes.2da).
Thrown weapons could be included as well,by adding a (2), but that doesn't seem like a brilliant idea considering the cost and disposable nature of thrown weapons. Same with Ammo (item type 5).
(version with that exact change applied attached. Using TLKedit this time.)
