DR belts appear to be bugged #15

Closed Question2 closed 5 years ago

Question2 commented 6 years ago

Not sure whats up with these, the DR belts that give DR to a certain damage type like the archer's belt are only worth 1 gold and the description seems bugged...see screenshot.

the problem stems from the fact that the way DR works was changed between Nwn1 and Nwn2. We inherited the belts from 1 but since DR effectively works in reverse now it creates that problem with the description when fixing them for Nwn2.

And for whatever reason, somebody knocked down the sale price in the 'fixed' blueprints ... but I'm not sure why.

Uh, so do they actually provide any DR?

And would it be possible to edit the description to say what DR it protects against and what bypasses it, so players can actually know what it does? Like : DR 5 vs slashing, etc.

they should (i tested it once upon a time)

DR 5 vs slashing, etc.

that's the problem/the difference between Nwn1 and 2: it's no longer DR vs weapon-type. It's now DR penetrated by weapon-type.

And would it be possible to edit the description

nope. That part of the description is delivered by hardcode.

I mean, the actual text of the description, with the fluff bits? The part where it says stuff like "The contests to decide who...."

So for example, the archer's belt, does it provide DR 5 to piercing only?

unfortunately SetDescription() doesn't work properly ...

with the weird-looking stat description it should ... set something up in the toolset and test it – I did but that was a long time ago, i tried various things but eventually had to accept the borky description iirc
