as I said, I don't get a beam, or any lightning bolts, and I get that name from WAILA, a plugin for NEI.
while I am at it, what's the difference between green, red, and blue points? is there any way to reset your skill points?
the thaumic lens thingie you're talking about is the thaumometer. I have one of those too. I also think it would be great if you could add thaumcraft compatibility (apart from just making the lecterns capable of holding and using thaumonomicons.) I also would like to know if the lecterns will work for the Ender Compendium from Hardcore Ender Expansion. thanks.
back to the issue at hand, I even tried it with particles enabled, and it didn't work. (I always keep particles off because I don't have that good a computer.)
thanks.
oh and one more thing... to those of you who are trying to name the thaumcraft book, it's called The Thaumonomicon. period, end of story.
Loving Ars 2! I had never used any mods and a friend and I started a server using a FTB pack. I must say the Ars 2 stuff is my favorite. The machines and everything he's into confuse the heck out of me, and most of the time feel almost like cheating.
Anyway....I have an issue and I'm hoping someone here can help. I'm not sure if it's a bug, or if I did something wrong. But I had researched a bunch of shapes, modifiers and whatnot, 24 levels worth. Spent all my 'blue points', have a spell book, everything was working awesome. Then, after gaining a few levels I went back to my Occulus to spend some points and found everything locked again. I was extremely confused. Went to my writing desk to check and sure enough, I had zero components to make a spell. But I had a spell book in my hand with some 4 or 6 spells that I had created already....so where did my research go??
Now, if I had gotten all my points back and could research down the trees again I wouldn't be here writing (because in reality I'd love that - I really think I'd make some better decisions now that I've had some experience with the mod). But all I had was 3 BLUE points. I should have had 3 green, I'm level 27.
So now I'm confused if I did something wrong, picked up something I shouldn't have, pressed a button I shouldn't have...or if it's a bug. The program never crashed, so I don't have a crash report. The only thing I could think of was I looted a 'Thaumicon' or w/e that thaumcraft book is called out of some chest and read it in that time. Could this possibly reset your magic??
Any help or insight would be awesome!!
hm your theory with the thaminamicon(or whatever it's called) could be an true because no body yet has reported such a thing I suggest trying that in creative put down a chest with a thauminomicon in it then switch to survival with an oculus and learn the secrets of the arcane learn a few shapes and modifiers then open the chest and read the thauminomicon.
If you were a wizard who spent years becoming accustomed to the fire element, learning to manipulate it and become at one with it, would you WANT to go into water?
it just so happens that I made my house underwater and I'm just still learning ars magica I only just killed the earth gaurdian!
Rules say no smiley spammings!11!1!! Stahp! And if you need the speed buffs and block stepping of the lightning affinity so badly, download Thaumcraft and make yourself some Boots of the Traveler.
You can also learn self-banish rain, which works on thunderstorms; contingency fire OR Damage: Self/projectile-Banish rain, which'll automatically cast it when lightning strikes you; and contingency fire OR damage: self-recall, which'll bring you back to your last marked spot when zapped.
hey I want fire but I still need to go into the water a lot!
Honestly, I'm not a fan of the affinity system at all, and wish that the ability to even get affinity gains was purchased similar to the ability to buff affinity gains, mostly because of those side effects. And how the affinity gains don't seem to track right to begin with. I have a spell that goes Projectile-Entangle-Zone-Touch-Lightining Damage-Damagex3, with nature and lightning affinity gains standing equal at 50% gains for each. They are not opposite elements of each other. I never gain lightning affinity with this spell, only nature.
me either you work so hard to get to that point and then your rewarded with more likely death!
While the lightning rod affect IS really bad, it won't happen while you are indoors. Stay inside or learn Banish rain until Mithion decides to change it.
Edit: I just realized a huge flaw in elemental consequences: Fire and water, when exposed to the opposite element, lose 25% of their health, and usually (And easily) they go out of their way to avoid these circumstances. But, with lightning, if you're out in a storm, You can die. Easily. Lightning is mean. : C
If I remember right affinities are still there, earth fire water all that stuff.
Just the casting modes are changing to swap shapes instead. This means he is adding modifiers to do the same thing as casting modes, so each modifier will amp up the spell by one mode I believe, maybe that would probably mean there would be something higher than augmented power though if the limit is 3 and your diminished by default.
oh thanks mixed the two upIn my opinion the downside to an affinity over rules the good side I mean the lightning affinity gives you lighting rod and that kills really quickly in a storm and what if your roof is wood?!
The 1.2 update will be for Minecraft 1.6.4. Another update will follow shortly after with the sole intention of updating to Minecraft version 1.7.
Note that 1.2 will be the final update for 1.6.4, and once the mod is upgraded to a newer MC version, legacy versions will no longer be supported.
AWSOME updating the armies might when that finally comes out I also have a question on how to make our spells stronger since affinity is being taken out of am2 al together?
I found a bug: When using AM2 and Better Dungeons (Chocolate Quest) together AM2 mobs spawn in dungeons. I know that this is a feature but Hecates don't move/attack at all in there. I've heard that Hecates don't spawn naturally until the player reaches level 20 but in the dungeons they still spawn but don't do anything.
I thought that to but it turns out better dungeons has support for ars magica it is stated in the compendium that that happens in the old ruins topic specifically name choclate quest
Of course not. 1.6 worlds need to be loaded in 1.6.4 before moving to 1.7, since there was a change to the world file structure.
By the way, thanks for all the extra dev days! You're awesome!
EDIT: Hint hint - stop asking about mod updates.
oh sorry I'll stop thanks for answering all my questions!
Oh I get what you mean by having to load worlds in 1.6.4
