Modding Pretenders
 
0) Does anyone have an example modification of a pretender?

1) can you remove powers from units? If so, what is the syntax?
-so far I have only found the #clear command, which nukes the entire unit's data including which race it belongs to. (in this case it was a pretender)

0) My Warrior King of Ulm and Avatar of Ulm mods show examples of this, too.

1) From memory, I think it's #clearmagic.

Some notes:
The "#itemslots" is semi-buggy. The numbers don't always give you what you expect.

It appears that some abilities "override" or replace others if put on the same critter. If you mess around with it, you'll see what I mean.

I try to avoid using "#clear" as it wipes everything. Which means, not only do you sometime lose very cool abilities that you can not "readd" , but that you must be VERY CAREFUL to make sure that you rescript ALL the monster values or they will default to some wierd values in places. The best way to do this if you must, is to look at the unmodded critter and note all its base values, abilities, weapons, etc,( like, is it mounted).

The modding is actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it. If you really want kick butt in a single player game add "#regeneration" 10% to 25% to the Wrym or the Naj.

Not sure if these "slip-through" the cheatdetect net in a multiplayer game or not, but if they do you'd suck for using them for that.

Happy modding. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
