I completed the dreaded battle with Melanthium! Though Ao trembled, my party prevailed against Melanthium--on Insane! ohmy.gif

I noticed that Melanthium did not use the interesting spells that the mod introduces, so I modified his scripts to use many (but not all) of them.

Each script is also a bit re-organized but I tried to maintain as much as possible from the original. As such, these are not 'Smarter' scripts but a bit tougher; the versions for psEasy, psNormal and psCore are probably easier than the original--but this can be remedied very easily! :devil:
 
Spoiler
  • All scripts uses at least some of the PSM spells.
  • psInsane maintains all the original scripting. Totally insane!
  • psHard, psEasy, psNormal and psCore reduces casting of most spells to just (1).
  • psEasy, psNormal and psCore have further reductions and have slightly different spell usage than higher scripts but nothing far-off.
Frequently-Asked-Questions

Any requirements?
Planar Sphere (Quest) Mod, version 2.5 or 2.6 (perhaps earlier)

How to use?
The scripts can be installed with the rest of the mod: just dump them into the \BAF\ folder of PSM before installing the mod.

The scripts can also be used in an existing game: use a game editor to replace the contents of psEasy.BCS, etc.

Next, you need to adjust the Difficulty setting of the game. You could use BGConfig.exe, but I recommend the bigg Tweak Pack, component Improved Difficulty System, as this allows changing the Difficulty within the game--as often as you like.

Are your scripts better than the original?
No.

Thanks. :cheers:

Just to make sure, in order to fully experience insane mode, one should uncomment the 'SORCERY' and the level 6 & 7 'SUMMONINGS' blocks ??

Or did you comment them out because they were bugged?

No changes needed: 'SORCERY' is a reward you get for defeating Melly!!, and the summonings already happen elsewhere within the script.
