    Chad Nicholas, Scripter

    More On Scripts: It wasn't a question of money, but time. It costs just as much money for me to build a player script as it does the scripting for a quest or event. Since the vast majority of players don't use the player scripts, it makes sense for me to spend more time on quest/event stuff.

    BTW, there is no 3D support. It isn't included at all.

    Yes, the fighter scripts should attack on site. However there is a small... pause after they finish a task you give them and the script can kick in. This pause it's what's allowing enemies to get close. I'm looking to see if we can do something about it.

    Which scripts specifically are switching between ranged and melee without making sense? Most of the ranged/melee switching is done based on range to the target. They should switch to range so as to not incure the "firing into melee range" penalty.

    BTW, there are no Attacks of Opportunities in IwD2.
    AI Frame Rate: There are several things that are affected by the AI framerate (AIf from now on). One of which is "game time." Every creature will start to walk/run faster with a higher AIf. At a setting of 30 AIf, each creature will parse it's script(s) 15 times a second until they find an action to perform (scripts aren't evaluated while an action is in progress). With a higher AIf, spells will be cast more quickly and will wear off more quickly. Basically, everything quickens. The downside to a higher AIf is that the IE will start to "skip" scripting actions. So while it may look like everything is working fine, a global may not get set, or a single action might be skipped. These can cause "time bomb" bugs (bugs which aren't noticable immediately, but only after continued play).

    Domain Spells: On the spellbook screen, at the top you should see "Cleric" and to the right of that "Domain". Click the word "Domain" to select your domain spells.

    Have you memorized your domain spells?
