[Character] Wren The Stormcaller

[Audius]

I get a crash whenever I try to sleep inside caves when my sanity is low, that also happens whenever I try to eat to restore my sanity above 60, also inside caves, but the crash doesn't occur in the ruins. I'm not sure what might be causing this but maybe it tries to make it rain inside the cave due to low sanity, and since it can't rain inside caves the game crashes.

Could you post your log.txt, please? You can find it in your Documents\Klei\DoNotStarve\ folder.

How do I tag something as spoiler again? I don't want to fill the entire page with the log.

Ah, right. Thanks.

@Audius

That's the log you got right when you crashed? I don't see anything wrong in it, and I can't seem to reproduce the crash you got on my end.

[Cjors]

Hey, thanks for this mod i plan on playing with Wren tonight. I just wanted to confirm the damage model on the lightning and specifically the lightning staff. 10 damage (based on values from steam workshop page) is incredibly low if that is the correct information, to give reference on a 1x damage character the boomerang does 27.2 damage it can also hit 10 times just like the staff and is significantly easier to craft.

Considering the cost of the materials the closest comparable weapon is likely the dark sword which would be slightly easier to make being 1 living log and 5 nightmare fuel rather than the staff costing 2 living logs 4 nightmare fuel and 3 gold (gold being relatively easy to aquire).

Looking at other staffs in the game all but one have 20 uses in durability. And working off of the damage model of the dark sword and basing the staff on 66% or two thirds of the total potential damage of that weapon, i did this to account for the staff being ranged. It would look like this, 68 (darksword base dmg) X 100 (base uses) / 20 (staff uses) = 340 (damage darksword would have at 20 uses) X 0.666 (to make it 66%) result is 226.44 damage per lightning strike with the staff having 20 uses. With this damage model 2 hits on a beefalo or koalafant would still be insufficient to kill it resulting in 452.88 of the 500 damage required. It would take 9 hits to take down a midsized treeguard although using it in such rapid succesion would be dangerous with the -15 sanity resulting in only around 6 strikes making you all the way out of your mind crazy.

Anyway thanks again for the mod, i'll be playing it soon. And whether you follow the model above or you choose to go in an entirely different direction with it, i look forward to the result. Just please make it more than 10 damage (wilson punches that hard)

[Seyph]

@Cjors

The difference between the lightning staff and, for example, the fire staff, is that the lightning strike does a direct 10 damage for the initial hit and additional damage when the target is set on fire as a result, whereas the fire staff just relies on just the damage from the target being on fire. So, in the end, it really adds up to being more than just 10 damage per hit. I'm not quite sure just how much damage is taken per tick from being on fire, though. I haven't looked that far into it.

 

As for the recipe for the staff, it's based on the more costly staffs (orange, yellow, etc), since it has a double use as a slow-fading torch. Personally, I think that justifies the price, and now with the final update having an alternative method for obtaining living logs (through "Living Trees"), it should be easier to obtain.  Although, I admit, I initially played around with the idea of making the recipe use just regular logs, because of how hard it could be to obtain living logs.

 

Thank you for your interest in my mod. c:

Here. Coincidentally, this was my first interaction with the game scripts, back when I had just joined the forums.

I should've (as promised) added that to the wiki, sorry. It just so happened that right after that I was seriously considering leaving the forums, so my motivation for it dropped.

What wiki? Is there a coding wiki?

[simplex]

What wiki? Is there a coding wiki?

No, I meant adding an entry to the regular wiki explaining how burning damage is calculated.

[TheDanaAddams]

No, I meant adding an entry to the regular wiki explaining how burning damage is calculated.

Is it possible to create a custom propagator type for the fire?

Like, if I want to make a certain fire do more damage, how would I go about adding my own "Gigantic Propagator" and setting the damage rate higher? I have a custom fire prefab that I can deploy at will with my Din's Fire item... but it simply doesn't do enough damage. After reading how it works, I think adding a new propagator setting would be the way to go... but how do I go about that?

(Sorry to make this about my mod, but I'm sure this is knowledge that would help others, too! My mod is just an example. ^^; )

[realitymeltdown]

Looks like it's got a "heatoutput" variable in propagator that controls the FireDamage

v.components.health:DoFireDamage(self.heatoutput*dt).

Upping that will cause more damage, and make the fire more intense.

As @realitymeltdown said, the heatoutput field of the propagator component defines the damage per second (as well as how quickly it makes nearby burnables catch on fire).

[simplex]

@TheDanaAddams (and @Sukoushi)

One more thing I feel I should note is that MakeLargePropagator() and similar functions just add the propagator component and apply a common set of configurations to it (check scripts/standardcomponents.lua to see what they are). You can always do it by hand, setting every configuration value to what you'd like, or even call one of these functions and then tweak a few values afterwards.

[Itao]

 @Sukoushi You should update this mod as well as the game is updated, for truth, for me this is the best mod character and it's a shame that it is outdated.

[Seyph]

Besides missing a few of the strings for new items/objects, and a minimap icon, Wren should be completely compatible with updates Moderately Friendly, Six Feet Under, and All's Well That Maxwell.
