i think it will only randomly select a target if you did not click a creature when you click on one, this is an area of effect spell being reduced to a single target spell (which i personaly think is apropriate in this instance) and it's likely the only way they were able to do it

There is an entry in the spells.2da that can be changed to make it hostile target only, rather than ground targeted. It's fairly straightforward to change that. Altering the script itself to make it only affect the targetted creature would take a bit more effort.

It is scripted to be targetable on the ground to make it more dangerous to the caster. I'm well aware of how to change spell targetting, though I'm not sure if that information was directed at the developers here or a general note.

Hehe I know you know. Hell, you have to in order to make some of the other changes. That was directed just towards the person who replied that they weren't sure there was a way to change an AoE to a Single Target spell.

Keep up the good work btw. These changes sound fabulous, I can't wait to get home and hop back online in game.

CRAFTING

The recipes are now dynamically loaded from the DB, so they can be editted/added/deleted while the server is running.
All players must possess a Crafting Badge of Certification or an Advanced Badge to use appropriate devices. These are for sale on the Crafting Vendor for around 500-750gp and 21500-32250gp depending on which town you buy it.
Players can now only craft a max of 1 item at a time. This has been set system wide, if there are arguments for certain items being able to be made in multiples. start an individual thread in Bug Reports (DON'T POST IN SOMEONE ELSE'S THREAD). Currently there are exceptions for missile weapons, melting nuggets, potions, essences, food and drink, oils, some gemcrafting, infused gems, scribing inks, molds, some tailoring, some alchemical and we're examining others.
Exceptionals now work like a Critical does. If you roll a 20, you then roll again and must beat the DC of the craft to get the exceptional, otherwise it's just the normal one.

- The colours are so:

  - Baraeon Ca'Duz - Green
  - Beryl - Orange
  - Branderback - Green
  - Corath - Red
  - Deliar - Yellow

    - Implosion
    - Protection from Evil
    - Protection from Good
    - Death Ward
    - Spell Resistance
    - Ability Score Buffs (Bulls Strength etc)
    - Shield of Faith, Mage Armor, Shield
    - Haste
    - A couple others that are used in a lot of places
    - Mages can use an item called Censer of Arcane Devotion. This new item is available at temple vendors for around 1500g and is a one time only use which sets the devotion of your arcane magics to your deity. This in turn will give you the FX coloured to your deity. Plus, your Summons become the ones based on the Deity, the Clerical ones. If the spell is cast from a mage/sorc/bard who have not used this Censer, the colours default to the original Bioware colours.
    - Druids and Rangers spells are Deity based as well, if they have no Deity then it defaults to Green.
    - Paladins and Clerics spells follow their Deity's colour.

well done, thanks for your time.

osxmallard · « **Reply #177 on:** January 18, 2006, 01:43:49 AM »

Thanks! Great updates.

Can anyone just go into the arena and spar or does it require DM moderation to avoid penalties? Can you add a NPC to explain the
rules of the arena?

orth · « **Reply #178 on:** January 18, 2006, 01:46:58 AM »

Yes anyone can just go in and spar, no need for DM requirements. There aren't much to rules. If you die, in 20 seconds you return to life. Keep score with your friends and such.
