Boot Camp 2.02 05-Sep-2005
A variety of "realistic" areas to test your characters with a lobby to reequip and adjust them.
'Boot Camp' is a module I made to test character concepts and strategy. There is a lobby where you can adjust your characters level, gold, inventory, and alignment. You can also hire one many NPCs to travel with you to one of the encounter areas. These areas let you choose a forest, dungeon, battleground, or crypt to practice combat at a requested difficulty level.
The Battlefield and Dungeon will challenge any character up to level 40. The Crypt should be interesting up to level 20 or so. The forest is generally for lower level characters.
Changes for Version 2
--> The Hak Pack, included with the install, now contains a custom package 2da files. The only standard file that was changed is "packages.2da" which contains new packages numbered from 150 to 201. <--
- Works with SoU and HotU.
- A new SoU merchant has all of the items added with that expansion.
- A new HotU merchant has all of the items added with that expansion.
- Added many more henchmen with prestige classes and multi class
- Increased maximum level to 40
- Added random enemy NPC generation using several custom enemy levelup packages.
- Added autoequip functionality to fully equip henchmen and enemy npcs
with random items appropriate for classes,level,attributes, and skills.
- Updated AI to use the "Developer's HakPak for Inventory & Battle AI mod v1.04".
Version 1.05a is out but I'm not planning to implement that since I'm pretty much done with the module.
One of the things I did to increase the difficulty is to write the autoequip scripts and use them for enemy npcs along with custom level up packages. This way the enemy "heroes" provide more of a challenge than any standard monster. Enemies you can face include fighters, weapon masters, rogues, assassins, black guards, sorcerers, wizards, pale masters, rangers, bards, dragon disciples, and clerics.
I know the messages in here is a bit quite, but I have been using this one for about 6 months, its the best. I would like to know if the creater would kindly make this into a HoTu verson. Thanks.

I just made this version final if anyone wants to vote on it. Unless there are bugs to fix I'll make any future changes in a SoU version which will be posted separately.

Changes for 1.15 05-Jul-2003 - Tested for Multiplayer with changes to cleanup and spawn triggers to handle multiple players. - Players can't change encounter area or difficulty if it is occupied by another player. I finally tested for multiplayer! I'll make this final unless I hear of problems. I have noticed that if players separate, particularly in the "battlefield" area, that spawn can happen on top of one player when triggered by another player. I can probably check for distance on some triggers and not spawn if another player is too close but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

I forgot to mention in the update: - Added Gnolls (forest)

This version doesn't include anything from SOU since that would prevent people who don't have SOU from using it. Eventually, I'll be releasing a version with SOU areas and creatures but that will be a separate item.

Does the updated version include items from SOU?

Just a little tip....try not to use a .exe file if you can get around it. people have a tendancy not to like it. Big controversy about viruses and stuff.

Thanks Slygar! It's good to hear about people using it. Any suggestions for the future would be appreciated too.

Just wanted to say that I find this to be the best "trainer" module and I use it constantly. Thank you for creating it! :)
