Mod: Mists of Deception fix mod - New version

[lch]

A very fine idea. This makes the spell still usable for those who have voiced concerns over it and doesn't hurt its usefulness too much.

Would be nice if it would give more than one type of unit. The original spell generates Phantom Beasts and other wonderful creatures, too. Maybe you can vary the unit output and throw in a little randomization, too?

[Twan]

It should be possible as there are already multiples unit summon spells but I don't know how to make one (except with nextspell but it's already used for the mist).

[Kristoffer O]

Nextspell in mist as well.

[Sombre]

That would mess up the vanilla spell mist though.

Mist of Deception #nextspell mists of phantasms #nextspell mists of false horrors #nextspell phantasmal wolves #nextspell Mist.

To use custom spells, easiest way is to #copystats existing spell and alter the original. That might or might not ruin the indep grimorie, but it does produce the wanted effect and works with all mods.

double post, please ignore

[Sombre]

But if you #nextspell user made spells it causes a whole bunch of other problems, non?

Yes, because you have to refer to the #nextspell via number, and the numbers of new spells change. However...

Mists of Deception has id X.
#copyspell X to get Mists of Deception, add #nextspell X.
Selectspell X, clearspell, replace with a spell for summoning phantasmal beasts or whatnot. Add #nextspell Mist


Result: All nextspells refer existing spells, thus it all works just fine.

I haven't tested it myself, and unfortunately I don't remember the thread this was mentioned in, but it was tested by the OP IIRC. Much better than my solution.
