Arena fix

[chrispedersen]

Well, a Champions crown that granted quickness AND gave a fire shield, or AoE would have a Lot of people salivating, I think

If you kill the trident holder in battle, does it get picked up with the same frequency as other cursed items? never been in a battle where i've been able to test it.

more, newbishly...is the current arena prize just the trident or is there a gold reward for the victorious nation?


thanks.

The trident will never be picked up when dropped in a battle.

It will give Quickness, and we can't add new abilities into it.

No Fire Shield. No etherealness.

Here's an example of what can be done:

#selectitem "Champion's Trident"
#name "Mark of the Champion"
#copyspr 142
#type 6
#armor "Flame Helmet"
#end

This makes the trident a helmet item, with 0 enc, that gives prot 5 (all), prot 20 (head), Quickness, Champion's Trident as a slotless weapon.

More details and a poll here:

I think this is the third trident improvement mod I've made. The first one made the trident cause Curse Luck, the second made it one-handed. I didn't properly release them with graphics and such, but there didn't seem to be that much interest in them either.

Improving the arena death match has been desired since the days of Dominions_2, so I highly doubt anything will change at this late stage.

I'm thinking the arena death match is too difficult or too time consuming to be changed otherwise I believe the developers would have introduced a change every so often.

I have always loved your accomplishments. You are a hacker (in the old good sense of the word). You find some amazing things by just trying them out.

Thanks! Now if I only did as much with what I have found out...
