Re: Making mods for Dominions II. [Basic editing/modding discussion.]
 

Well I am still working on a Web-based senerio editor..... Umm, that is about it for now. The patch is a higher priority I would assume.

We should use this as the main modding thread [check the title!].
It is pointless to make more and tiny threads. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
I guess the most important is the LotR mod atm.
Discuss about it here.
Keir plans to make it, so I might cancel my project than, but I can help him. Keir, if you require help [unit gfx etc.] let me know.

Cheers.

Yup, and Cherry made like 2 tiny threads about modding! We had this huge thread already! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif

Oh btw, I wanna make a LotR mod too! Should I..or Kier will make it than? Kier if you read this, reply plz. ty.

Re: Making mods for Dominions II. [Basic editing/modding discussion.]
 

Not to try and micromanage but maybe the LoTR MODders could mention if they have only a particular interest. It could be a really big project. The TGA map image? The images of the characters? the stats for the characters (the #commands in the monster edit pdf)? Certain races?

WHo is going to make the flaming eye on the tower immobile god of the enemy? The mounted "heroes" of the enemy?

I can give my help to modders preparing per scritp or something similar ... but as long as I know the only files that are readable are the maps one ... and I think it's quite easy from anyone with a little programming background to prepare something that work with that ...

anyway, someoene know where (which files) all the other informations (stas for the units/magic/pretender) coded in the original games are stored ? and in which format ? ... or is a sort of 'state secret' that developers don't want common folks knows ? it would be nice to just runn some script to get all this stats out and put in a nice table!

good luck

I'm making a modding tool too!

It does not actually help you make mods, just balance them. I think I mentioned it before... a battle sim. 1-on-1 melee only, but it will be very useful, and give units melee power rankings.

If it makes it simpler for me, I may add a GUI the spits out a text file of the unit. In Java, of course.
