Is there a mod to auto use potions?

Submitted by WyrdForge on Tue, 2022-06-28 23:51

Is there a mod around to make party members drink life and mana potions automatically (once a certain threshold is reached)?

I'm trying a goofy idea: playing multiplayer on my two computers, with one low-level member (on one machine) following my high-level hero (on the other machine). The high-level hero is there just to heal the newbie and provide added attack if a mob develops (or resurrect if things get out of hand). Other than that, she stays out of the way while newbie gains levels rather quickly. Sort of like "bring your child to work day". Works well, except when newbie is using magic with no easy way for my hero to replenish him. I believe I could use Mana Channel, but seems a waste with all those mana potions being dropped.

I saw an old post that included something like that, a great big compilation of mods called "Dungeon Siege Tactics". Many ideas proposed, but it never saw the light of day (perhaps from lack of interest).

Or... maybe I should just roll up my sleeves and make that mod...

Thanks Ulyss, that will be a big help. Did you find that on this site (I couldn't) or elsewhere? I also started using Mana Channel, and that's working splendidly. So now I can boost my newbie with both health and mana via spells. I'm already leaving Meren on the way to Lang (in UP), with newbie at level 22-ish overall, gaining levels quite quickly.

No it's comes from my huge collection dating from 2003 until today. More than 150 dsres files without counting siegelets, maps, etc. The majority come from sites that are currently dead like PlanetSiege, SiegeNetwork, Fileplanet (this site become a virus site). plus a ton of pictures. The big picture on Steam (regicarr) is from me. Just a lot of picture from PlanetSiege, I just need to stick them together and make a really big picture of the journey from the Farm to the big bad Boss's Lair.

But I lost a lot of dsres like Diablo Font (snif) - I try to make a big map for LOA but it's a big job. I have more than 100 siegelets/maps. I have no choice to check one by one and delete some in foreign languages like chinese, japanese, russian, hebrew, etc, etc
