[RELz], [WIP] Fearsome Magicka : IV - Oblivion

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 7:25 am

Really? It actually can be absorbed or reduced? Hm, maybe I'll get out that outfit again, I always thought that 100% magic resist was overpowered, but now I need to test this...

Would you kindly report here results of your test?

cheers,

I've uploaded another patch, changelog:

0.15c, 2010/05/13 - added new customization options in the FM.ini file which control spell casts limits;

... which means that now you can increase number of spell casts on every level up to five times higher than the default limit.
Just thought some of you might like that...

cheers,
brucevayne

I just started a new game with V0.15b
so far my game is stable.
I will update now to v0.15c
Thanks for your work.

Thanks for the update!

Had an epic battle with my mage against a horde of conjurers in fort Blackboot yesterday.
Spells were flying everywhere and there was no relent. Lovely.

But the spells were literally everywhere.
I had noticed that magick missiles are able to pass through anything, which is(though difficult) okay with me.
But I encountered the telekinetic objects flung at me were also passing through the door I shut close.
Is this intended? It does seem strange, in any case.

Loving the mod!

Ahh, I love to hear such things(concerning the epic fights with magic involved)!

Concerning Magic Missiles: the same as for Baldurs Gate, here also those projectiles cas pass physical obstacles.

As for Combat Telekinesis: any solution that appears in my mind(and I have thought about it for a long time now) would be very FPS consuming. So for now, until one day an idea on how to change that pops in my head, it remains like that.

Are any of the ye olde power word spells in there? Be cool, I think, to put the cross hair on an NPC and do power word kill and see them just drop dead. Like using the kill command in the console. Stun could I guess instantly drain all their stamina to a sizable negative amount so they stay down for a bit. Not particularly complicated but still kinda cool, am sure you've got lots of ideas already though.

Am yet to play with it but am still watching development.

Thanks for sharing.

:)

Thankyou very much for making this very awesome mod. This now has a permanent spot in my load order.

Having a companion is very, very helpful as well.

I just killed the Gatekeeper with my character and it took me like seventy tries. The Gatekeeper loves those Magic Missiles.

I think the ability for npcs makes it so much better.

Again thanks a lot. And your consistent updates make an awesome mod better.

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 5:42 am

I just figured I'd bump this up for others who may not have noticed the new update.

I have upped the limit that I can cast spells from the circles by double. Seems MUCH better this way. I always thought it was too restrictive before.

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 10:28 am

Whenever I reach my limit on casting a certain spell I CTD, for example when I cast teleport, on the 4th cast I'll CTD, or when I cast magic missiles ill crash on the 8th time, anyone know why it might be doing this?

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 2:04 pm

You propably use a mod that changes messages from second person to first(from "you" to "I"). This mod has been reported to cause CTD when used along with Fearsome Magicka. I don't remember the name of it though... Maybe someone could shed some light on it?

Ah, okay, well here's my LO, maybe someone can point it out for me? I have no idea what mod might even be doing that...

Doesn't OOO have that as part of it? I kinda remember it having that.
Other then that, no clue.

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 4:42 pm

Hmm, I don't think that OOO is causing that CTD for two reasons: 1) FCOM users have reported that Fearsome Magicka works without any problems with their builds, 2) person that reported the same CTD as described by Vaso mentioned that switching the mod off solved the problem, and we all know that OOO cannot be simply 'switched off' upon installing it. Unfortunately the guy didn't remember the name of the culprit mod. I'll scan now through Vaso's load order and try to determine the conflicting mod.

Btw: YX33A, have you tested the magicka resistance/absorption relation to FM spells' output damage?

EDIT: First deduction: Vaso, could you try moving FearsomeMagicka.esp to the bottom of your load order?

cheers,

I got distracted and died in a fire. I'll get some results as soon as I get my eyes back.

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 8:16 pm

I've been enjoying this mod since it came out! Thanks for all the hard work you put into it!
Really my only issue with it is I hate sharing my cool spells with lowly NPCs, but this is no big deal at all, I'm just a cheap bastard that likes being OP

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 8:26 pm

Trying to use this mod but when I loaded up a save game the screen was completely grey, I think because of the screen effects shader.

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 8:56 pm

OMFG.................again..........OMFG. between this and and the alternate magic mod being worked on my dream of completely replacing the stupid TES magic system is becoming a reality..............im gonna pee my pants now.

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 7:12 pm

I have a question on why the spells I purchased in Si don't work I thin k I have all the componetiks installed for the mod the speels show and I have memeoried them . I am level 4 mage so I know some the the spells won't work yet. I thought some might. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 8:52 pm

Well, you first have to be able to use them skill level wise, and second, you can only use so many of each circle of spell per day, so even if you somehow have 100 mysticism at level four, you still can't cast time stop until somewhere around level thirty.
Not that I'd want to stop anyone from being overpowered. <_<

I will look at that I just don't understand the circle thing it says I have 1 circle so I must need to continue to level up I hope I'm right. I did checheck in my ini file and and unbder obse i had must of the pluggins and under another plugiin fold I had ref file which I moved into the plugin folder where all the other obse pluginns are I don't know if this is right or if it will make any difference.

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 3:53 pm

at level 4 you dont get squat. use willieseas leverlers shack mod. lot easier than the console. i always premake my characters.

in particular which enemies use timestop. i was looking to see what happens to my pc but i havent seen it yet. im currently trying to find a necromancers lair to see if they use it.

excellent mod im having fun with it.

So being a mage level 4 means I'm not at a high enough level to use the spell s correct?

» Sun Jan 02, 2011 6:36 pm

You can use some circle one spells. Such as Magic Missile and Force Burst. Other then that, not much. Kinda pitiful, really, half of my characters will never use half of these spells because they aren't high enough level in both the skill and character level.
But it doesn't bother me because I have a working teleport spell! Up to the top of the building! Down at the guards! Into a small box! Out of my jail cell! Into the clouds! *runs out of casts left* Fall like a whale!
Hello Ground!
*whump!*
