Fixed an error with ammo template. New version of mod has been uploaded (test bows 0929b).
Please keep in mind that the mod is not complete.

A few weeks ago I posted a blog entry about modding some custom bows. I've been working on this mod and currently have a version that has five bows with various types of custom damage. I've also included a nature spell I've been working on that's the ranged equivalent of "charged fist". The spell can be cast on any member of the party and scales with the caster's nature magic skill.

Changes

Before act 2, one thing was clear: LadyFemme's shop mod had to go. Mind me, it was good at helping me learn how the shops work, but it was very unsatisfying on the reagent front, too powerful on the weapons front, and unnecessary when it came to spells.

Background

A while ago I played through Broken World again, taking the same Fist of Stone route with Osric that I took at my uncle when I first played the game. I was playing at my uncle too. This time it was in a full party, and everyone was re-specialized for shields. I wanted tankiness, and by Xeria I'd have it.

As usual, I have a distaste for missing out skill points from quests. EXP differences I can smooth out with time and a little effort, but permanently missing skill points? That's where I draw the line.

Listening to the radio brings back memories. Music released prior to 2010 is pretty much under the umbrella "classic rock" and those are the type of radio stations I listen to. I was doing some errands the other day and when I drive around I listen to very loud music (usually with the windows closed, because I'm considerate that way) and I'm not ashamed to admit that I sing and/or screech along. Okay, it's a little embarrassing but flarp it!

The power supply on my computer passed away this morning. So instead of taking a bike ride, I became a computer repair person. Took a while but found a replacement supply at Best Buy of all places. Fixed the computer and then took a walk.

I like DarkElf's fairy textures and started making a few more myself.

So I was thinking maybe this code could be adapted to summon a random fairy. Same abilities with just a different appearance. It would be easy to make some additional actor templates to add to the summon fairy spell.

I just noticed that the icon for the recycle bin is missing. I have tried everything I can think of to get it back. Does anyone know how to get the icon back?
