Umm... no.

Re: Magic Mod
 

Looks good, IF. A couple of questions...

--Will spells be a 'one-spell-per-drone' type of thing, or will you be able to put, say, 6 level 1 spells on a level 5 drone? (And is the tonnage of the level 5 drone supposed to be 8kT?)
--How will spells deal their damage? Will they have to strike the opposing mage (a warhead), have a one-shot or repeating beam, or a mixture?
--Did you know you have Extend Spell listed twice, for both Meta-Magic 1 and 3?
--When can we start playing? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

You can place multiple lower level spells on larger drones. However, the higher level spells are better. I'm thinking that the meta-magics will be Mounts. So, a level 3 spell with some meta-magic will require a level 4 or 5 drone. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif The level 5 drone may or may not supposed to be 8 KT. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

--How will spells deal their damage? Will they have to strike the opposing mage (a warhead), have a one-shot or repeating beam, or a mixture?
Well... drones fire their weapons once at a target, and then ram it, so both. Some spells will be a better "weapon" and others will be a better "warhead".

--Did you know you have Extend Spell listed twice, for both Meta-Magic 1 and 3?
Ack! That is a typo. The level 3 one is supposed to be named something else.

--When can we start playing?
In the future. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

For Intelligence, I am thinking of removing sabotage projects. The Counter-Intel will be very weak, allowing for many espionage projects to succeed. These espionage projects will represent spells of Divination.

Well that's new... never seen anyone quote a bump before! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Magic Mod
 

Hm, how about giving the Staffs a limited attack ability? You can bash other wizards over the head with them after all! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Or maybe point-defense for warding off enemy spells & monsters... Or would these abilities cause wizards to rush in to hand-to-hand combat and getting themselves killed?

Re: Magic Mod
 

The staff is more of a "spell focus" than a weapon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Magic Mod
 

Although we can never deny a staffs good ol' head bopping abilities.

Re: Magic Mod
 

It is not going to have any weapon properties.

Re: Magic Mod
 

BUMP
Man Fyron you got us all excited and then left us.Dude you are becoming like me.QUICKLY QUARENTINE HIM MY UNPRODUCTIVENESS IS SPREADING!!!

Re: Magic Mod
 

Yeah! Your poll in the first post shows a 75% approval rating for this mod idea!

Whatever happened to throw this mod off the tracks?

Re: Magic Mod
 

Fyron, are you going to start the thing? I would be glad to help, as i said back then.

Re: Magic Mod
 

This is definatly a cool mod idea. I'm thinking the really tough part is that to make it look good you would have to redo ALL the graphics. Stellar backgrounds would become landscapes, planets would become cities etc etc. Now that is a lot of work that I'm guessing most don't have the talent or time to do.

Re: Magic Mod
 

I'll get back to it eventually. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Magic Mod
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm working on a fantasy-based mod right now, and that is the part that I'm not looking forward to so much... I'm thinking the art will be pretty minimalistic (like all scrolls get the same icon, but with different colors, stuff like that.) Fairly certain that looking at the final product may cause brain hemmorages to those caught unawares...

Playing with the data files sure is fun, though...

Re: Magic Mod
 

So instead of making this a separate mod, I think I will just build it into a different mod that I have started working on (entitled Adamant Mod). If you still want to help out with this, it would be appreciated. I think I'll set up a forum over at http://galileo.spaceports.com/~kazha..._redirect.html for this. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Magic Mod
 

Tech & Magic..... I like the idea.... kinda reminds me of the original "Heavy Metal" movie... A bLaster in one hand and a sword in another.... or even "Ice Pirates"....

Keep it up....

Re: Magic Mod
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Acutally, it is more like Tech _or_ Magic (or Organic http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).

I need ideas for the ships of the Magic races...

If anyone wants to help develop the mod, drop me an email, and I can show you what I have so far. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I especially need some artists to make all sorts of things, like components, facilities, etc.
