New Content - Implemented Heavy Rains
- Thread starter Bale
- Start date
Some overrides are needed (Mist-Shrouded Peak = Icy Peak is one off the top of my head). Also, none should at least assume 1, as is the case for monster copies for instance.
Looking at this now
r14428
Just a note, we should cancel rain monster windows when we rescue the king.
Edit - And remove any lightning/rain/thunder skills known.
Edit 2 - And after any Type69 affected path, visit campground bookshelf to refresh bookshelf skills known.
Edit 3 - And set rain monster window of 9-11 on starting the path.

It seems to be an off-by-one bug. The first adventure after switching to a new zone shows the depth of the previous zone. I even saw this after breaking prism, sloppy seconds diner had a water depth of 5 for the first turn. For a moment there I thought we were keeping the heavy rains mechanics post-prism, which would have been cool.
I wonder if that's exploitable: get depth 6 underground, then head outside, and see if you can get the storm cow without the depth increasing effects active. Assuming the bug works that way, it would be 50-50 (alternating turns underground and outside while the wandering monster was due). Or other combinations of underground / indoors / outside. 50% chance of getting the higher level monster. Maybe.

Boy there is inconsistent stuff. I was told that tavern cellar was fixed, it's now depth 6 today. Rain man monsters are now depth 3 for me, they were depth 1 yesterday (Edit - this was because it was only taking into account +water level buffs, not -water level item. This is a bug according to my bug report). Supporting depth is like nailing smoke to the wall. I'm sure it will improve as they get the bugs squashed.

Everything in there is all the same now, at least, so it's an improvement.
I now see it as depth 6, with one +water level buff, and the heavy duty umbrella. However, I guess it could be depth 5 and that has the same bug as when using rain man and copies, that it doesn't count umbrella? Once I have the skills I really need I'll drop my water level buffs and run with none instead to spade it.
Did this in r14445 (as well as setting terminology back to Water Level), but untested as I've neither rescued king nor started the path since. (Cancelled Bee wanderers whilst I was at it)

The encounters occur on turns 9-11, so the corresponding timers should be set to 8 and 10, right?

I just thought I'd add a helpful tip for Heavy Rains. I've got the following function in my preAdventureScript and it has made my life much easier.
Code:
// Storm Cows are deadly if you have more than 50 MP at the start of the fight
void heavy_rains() {
if(my_path() == "Heavy Rains" && my_location().environment == "outdoor" && my_location().water_level + numeric_modifier("Water Level") >= 6
&& get_counters("Rain Monster window end",0 ,10) == "Rain Monster window end")
cli_execute("burn -50");
}
What remains for this?
Perhaps we should have "heavyRainPoints" to keep track of skills count you start with in this path, sort of like we have borisPoints, jarlsbergPoints, sneakyPetePoints, and zombiePoints.
Other than that, what remains to be done before we mark this Implemented?
