[MOD] Journey To Justice v2.1

[Zo Kath Ra]

I have messed around several times trying to kill the boss without it crashing, and here is what I noticed when I do it. If I kill it with my weapons after a long fight, the boss dies, but I get no error message. If I spawn like 300 fire bombs, carry them in and throw it at it (killing it instantly) then I get the crash, but with the error message I posted earlier. From what I can tell the ice steak it is supposed to drop, but it does not, causing the game to crash.

No error message when you kill the boss after a long fight... that's strange, because in J2J, the ice_dragon definition contains this line:
lootDrop = { 100, "ice_lizard_steak", 70, "ice_lizard_steak", 50, "ice_lizard_steak", 30, "ice_lizard_steak" },

So it should always drop at least one ice_lizard_steak.
And I didn't find any code in the mod that uses MonsterComponent:setLootDrop(table).

Oh - wow.

Not only, that I implemented that bug - I also misunderstood you, Rinpoo, what boss you meant. I'm really brilliant...

Time for an update.

No it is quite alright, I could have been more specific than referencing the "ice palace," but I was attempting to not spoil it for anybody that is not there yet, because I think it is a rather cool boss. I am happy to help though. I was just concerned because I have spent over two weeks playing and I want to be able to finish it.

Ya it was strange, I had no idea what was wrong with the game, because it would crash without telling me what was wrong when I beat the fight normally. I got annoyed and tried to kill the boss as quickly as possible, so maybe I could avoid the crash. It still crashed doing that method, but at least this time it displayed the error in the grimrock log, so that I could post it here.

To fix the crash, enter this line in the console:
ice_dragon_1.monster:setLootDrop({})

Thank you I will try it out right now and let you know.

That line indeed worked, and I killed the boss and got the items in the room, thanks for the help. I will update the mod whenever you release it, but for now that fixed the issue.

Hi Thom and folks, I am having fun with this unusual mod but got stuck. What is the meaning of "slot in" in the Garden of Ox ? Put sometihing into the spot ? I've solved the other riddles but this one is melting my brain. If so, any hint of what to put in, on, over ? In the Garden of the Tiger the hint, it seems, tells of three secrets. I found one (the quartz). Are there others ? I've been digging and dying all the time. I focused at the spots with fruits (gentle stroke ?) and found nothing but venon clouds. Thanks in advance.

Fine

What is the meaning of "slot in" in the Garden of Ox ? Put sometihing into the spot ?

Yes. - You can find (maybe already found?) a note which says it is explicitly for that task...

In the Garden of the Tiger the hint, it seems, tells of three secrets. I found one (the quartz).

Not "one, the quartz" but "one of the quartzes".

I focused at the spots with fruits (gentle stroke ?)

A fruit falling from a tree is not gentle - it makes "ploff". Gentle would be different...
And: It happens not the whole day...
Keep in mind: This are the gardens of longanimity...

Keep on going. You seem to be on a good run.

Thanks Thom, but
- I had not found any note about the "slot in" riddle. Please where shall I look for it ?
- gentle stroke - shadows perhaps ? But shadows come from obstacles to the light not exactly caused by the sun (east to west). And I think you would not be so sadistic to the point of involving the breeze (LoL). And I don't want to lose the patience and spawn some healing shards to help me digging the whole garden (LoL again). Cruel ...
