I have Salandra hard at work on something that will change the face of at the very least bowyering. She has changed Staves in our test version, to a component resource the same as gems,dyes & ingots. The reason for this will not be apparent very quickly to those not familiar technically with the old ATS.
The advantage is twofold, 1. instead of using adding a optional recipe it will be possible to just say ATS_Resource_Staves (1,100); etc. 2. Make wood properly mineable in next phase, requiring a wood axe, no martial required, and check skill for wood, and lastly of course, easy to add more wood types, gems, scrolls, etc to bowyering.

I am happy to hear, that. I have been playing around with the crafting system(it has in fact stop me from making that code for you...  ) I would also like to see better arrows and maybe bolts added in there... |

I love people who say these things and really have no idea how different ATS is on my server already Anyway, Salandra and I spent about 14 hrs today making staves a resource, which involved stuff way beyond what we hoped to get away with. The result is long and short staves of elm oak and ash can be used as a global resource now. You will find after the next load, if you are into bowyering, that the menu will display quite differently for each type of bow, you will get a heading for eg: Short Rough Hemp Bow, then types listed below that similar to ingot use now. Next will be easy to add other types to special etc now. Enjoy, Now to relax for the evening before bed. Makz. |

Good Show.
I was a little shocked to see that certan bows I use to make with ease are now either not available on the menu or Red. Not really all that upset as I think for a realists perspective the Smoothed Oak Hemp short bows skill to make is entirely too low. Several of the bows are skewed a little. I can make a bow that appears to kill everything in sight with unlmited ammo for a 21st level character, but I cant make a long bow with a +3 attack bonus that I can use.
Might want to take a look at what can make what at what level. Given the meager skills I have, I was able to make 1,000,000 gold in 45 minutes just on bow making. ((Found out the hardway if you are carrying more then 1 mil in gold and change areas, the server takes the gold)) No harm no foul, will take me 10 minutes make up the 100000 I lost.

Yes up until now, adding bows was a nasty method of scripting, it is VERY possible to make any sort of bows I want now, and scale them properly, just a matter of time, and today certainly will not be it I am feeling burnt after yesterdays marathon efforts. At sometime in the next 2 weeks I want to release ATS to the community at whatever stage it is at, so I am going to put a halt to development beyond it's current place, and prep it for release, documentation, cleanup etc. Makz. |
