Re: The Modder\'s Wishlist
 

You mean a "#goneberserk" comand for new creatures? Sounds nice.

I was just looking, if you could do that via magic items (armors). Since magic items can have spells on them and you can give an armor to a creature so that it does not drop, that sounds like a plan to give it a Rage spell for itself.

But then I had to see, that the only things you can set for magic items at the moment are the research and cost of the currently available magic items. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif



Well, looks like I'm in the right thread here:

I'd like to see modding comands for new magic items:
#newmagicweapon <weapon id>
#newmagicarmor <armor id>
#newmagicitem
#castspell <spell id> (This spell can be used at a fatique cost of 5)
#autospell <spell id> (This spell is cast at the beginning of each battle)
#...
Every unit command (except for name description and maybe a few else) should be aplyable to items, too. And obviously give that property to the wearer of the item.

Re: The Modder\'s Wishlist
 

Is there a way to add items other than weapons/armor to a unit? Say amulet of vengeance, for example
?
Also, is there a way to add a castable spell to a unit, so the unit will be able to cast that spell without the required paths?

Re: The Modder\'s Wishlist
 

When setting independants on a map, you can equip them with any kind of magic items.

But in the creature entry - I don't think so.

However I don't think it should be to hard to make this modable. It seams, there is no inherent diffrence between armor and other non-weapon items, except for the fact, that armors and helms tend to have protection more often (but there are both kinds of exceptions: Robes and bracers), and protection from items is diffrently applied to torso and head, depending on the slot of the item.

One phrase I was told in the forum of another game: Don't say what <the gamedesigner> can or can't do, unless you are <the gamedesigner>.
However, I hope they look at this at some time and check if they can make such a thing available. I have something in mind that dire needs something like that.


About the second question: No, not possible.






And since this is the modder's wishlist, let me add a think I'd like to see:

-Currently when going above the maximum number of special abilities (14 or something), the latest just get skipped silently. I'd like to see an error message like "Unit name: To many special abilities" or something, instead.

Minor Wishs:

-#AirShield <percent> for units (self-explaining)
-#Affliction <"name"> for units (to start with afflictions like the Forge Lord or the Allfather)

Actually I've just run head into this bug and it's stymied somewhat my work on the Chaos Undivided race mod.

Re: The Modder\'s Wishlist
 

I'd like firepower. Might as well have stormpower, darkpower and coldpower as well.

The underwater leadership power would also be nice, if it has a variable value - I can copystats off of the azure dudes but it's the wrong amount (this is for Haida Gwaii).

And actually, underwater recruitment modding would be nice.

Re: The Modder\'s Wishlist
 

Protection from Evil (unit ability).

Works like awe, but against the MR of demons and/or undead (could be distinct Prot from Undead and Prot from Demons powers.)

If it also provided an MR bonus against death and/or blood spells, that would be nice.

Site Modding.

To add your own image to a specific site.

Like that as well

Re: The Modder\'s Wishlist
 

Got another one:

For unit/commander/hero

#noresearch - No matter how much/many magicskills + number the unit will have zero in research.

Re: The Modder\'s Wishlist
 

If you give a unit a research malus of 50 or so you should achieve more or less the same effect.

Re: The Modder\'s Wishlist
 

I'll try that, thanks.


Edit: Sorry, it doesn't work. If I set it #researchbonus to 50 or more the unit(s) gets maxed out research.
