Phenomenum

Tested it just now - works fine. Now i need a numbers. For now, test verion contains these changes: OverPEN: x1.3 = +10% damage x1.6 = +20% damage x2 = +30% damage UnderPEN: -1 = -15% damage -2 = -30% damage -3 = -45% damage -4 = -60% damage -5 or more = -75% damage Any suggestions? And i can write correct damage multipliers according "double inversion" - just give me formula or exact numbers.

I probably found some useful data in "global.gamedata": "PenetrationRatioMultipliers":[{"Threshold":0,"Value":1},{"Threshold":1,"Value":1},{"Threshold":2,"Value":1.3}], - "Threshold" here is the PEN/AR ratio, "Value" - damage multiplier "FlatPenetrationMultipliers":[{"Threshold":-99,"Value":0.25},{"Threshold":-2,"Value":0.5},{"Threshold":-1,"Value":0.75} - "Threshold" here is the PEN minus AR, "Value" - damage multiplier I can add some new data in this strings (not sure if it wiil work), eg: "FlatPenetrationMultipliers":[{"Threshold":-99,"Value":0.25},{"Threshold":-4,"Value":0.40},{"Threshold":-3,"Value":0.55},{"Threshold":-2,"Value":0.7},{"Threshold":-1,"Value":0.85} - every point of underpenetration reduce damage by 15%, -5 or more underPEN reduce damage by 75% I will test this today - maybe can create a mod if this changes will works. One thing - is the "double inversion" - i need formula to take it into account, so -75% damage will be -75% and not -300%.

In russian translation mods names don't displaying in manager (english end other languages are ok) Russian: English: Manifest.json sems ok (all mods names was displaying properly until 3.0 update): Changing "ru" to "en" in Manifest does not provide any effect. It's a bug or my mistake?

Thank you! That's all, i swear)

@Justin Bell Sunset starts at 10-00 PM, ends at 11-00 PM, but night music starts at 8-00 PM Sunrise starts at 6-00 AM, ends at 7-00 AM, night music plays until 7-00 AM. So day music plays from 7-00 AM to 8-00 PM Night music plays from 8-00 PM (which is too early, becose sun still shining bright until 10-00 PM) to 7-00 AM (sunrise ends, it's ok). Can you shift night music start time from 8-00 PM to 10-00 PM, or better to 11-00 PM, when the night actually falls?

And, i running some tests... @Justin Bell, as for now night music starts playing at 8-00 PM, when the sun is still shining bright. I think is too early. Sunset starts at 10-00 PM, night falls at 11-00 PM (in POE a 26-hours day). Juuustin. It's definately too early.

doesn't work so well if you're doing the eothas challenge I've already written a proposal to make enable/disable option for night music. This would be good for all, i think. As for me, i will wait until next patch with music changes and bugfixes and then deside whether i like it or not.I don't like it in current state, that's for sure.

I mean, if someone don't want listen the night music, he can wait until specific time and then continue his journey.

I wonder what is the Night time (in therms of music) exactly? From 12-00 to 8-00 AM?

I talking about it everytime with 0 effect...

@BMac, thanks for the cyrillic font fix in 3.0.0.0021! Now everything is fine and i've made a proper Capitals for the whole game. Really sweet!

Thank you very much for all your efforts!

If we talk about PoE 1, i've consider to choose from this tracks (i'll specify districts association, but this is just my opinion): Encampment (Sacred Stair/Serpent's Crown) Elmshore (Periki's Overlook/Serpent's Crown) Engwith (Delwer's Row/Gullet) Oldsong (Queen's Berth/Brass Citadel)

Ouch. I need to listen PoE 1 OST again. And quickly))

A perfect solution will be: adding different Night themes for every district, but i understand - it might take too much time. I like Encampment, but as i said, adding more tracks adds some diversity. Becose, if you'll play Deafire for 50+ hours and listen one and the same track every night - your ears will quickly tired. If you have technical issues witth adding several Night themes, you can combine Encampment, Elmshore + maybe something else in one long track. This will be simple and elegant solution

I for one think that night tracks add a lot to the atmosphere of the game. They were a good idea in BG and are a good idea in Deadfire. You may disagree with the particular choice that was made for a track in this case, but the proposition was sound. Also, while Deadfire is a different game from BG, it is quite explicitly marketed as its spiritual successor. It is not unreasonable for people to desire things that evoke memories of their playing the BG games while they play Deadfire. That doesn't make them lunatics at all. Well... I admire, my sentence was too... emotional. Maybe you're right and without music bugs everything will be fine and tasty. Sorry if i offended you. Seems this night track playing over and over again makes me lunatic too)) Seems not Another bug, i forgot to mention (easy to reproduce): go to the tavern during the day (tavern music starts playing), then wait or rest in room until the night is come and then go to the streets - tavern track will still keep playing until the end, no matter where you go (even to another district), then next tavern track will start and SLOOOWLY crossfade with Night theme. I believe this is not was intended.

Maybe you can add some 1-2 additional tracks from PoE 1 as night themes. Oldsong theme, Elmshore theme or something else Elmshore sounds perfect in the night IMO

At least, not in taverns, please. It looks...strange (i presume each tavern has own music band to entertain clients). And please, think about Luminous bath: https://youtu.be/BYGrxSHbEnw?t=25m51s

There is a 3 main problems: 1. One track plays everywhere. If you want to implement Night Music and don't break atmosphere and preserve the flavor of different districts and places, make different themes which will fit right. 2. Night Music overlapps with Deadfire tracks. This is a clearly technical bug. 3. Night Music keeps playing indoors - shops, taverns etc. Technical bug too, i believe. And, maybe, make sense to make it optional, in case some people don't like it. P.S. Thank you Justin, for full compositions - it makes very big difference.

This music appears becose of one stupid guy in this thread cryin' for "Make night music themes like it was in BG": https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/105474-atmosphere-i-hope-justin-bell-reads-this/ As for me, this music theme don't fit Deadfire at all, in one place. On second, this composition plays at night everywhere - in every district, in taverns - breaking flavor of different places. At least, it should be optional. Personally, i don't like this idea at all. I'm in rage of all those lunatics, crying: "Make *somewhat random thing* like it was in BG" - **** you, go and play BG, if you want BG. This is different game.

Thanks for clearing things up. Quest start/Journal message appears even before Ashen Maw - it's very misleading. Maybe you can fix it - Quest should start only after Ashen Maw then

This is not a strategy, but simple game mechanics exploit. Nothing interesting. EVERY game in the world have exploits.

Thank you very much!

Yes. Full music tracks and night music feels great, but lack some testing. Sometimes tracks don't change properly, sometimes tracks overlap each other, sometimes crossfades beetween tracks is too long (up to 20-30 sec.)

Yes, several bugs with new music system is present
