Modding and thoughts!
 

This may perhaps be a bug.

I was trying to make a dragon with 125 hit points with shape shifting ability. Though at the current state it isnt possible. When I want the dragon to shapechange into eg. human form with 10 hit points a box appear and says 'It's fatal at current state to shapeshift'. [u]BUT[/b] if I change the dragons hit points to 10 hit points there's no problem at all.


Another thing is, is it possible to give a unit the same ability as the dragons in Dom2 when it comes to magic? Like the 2 magic points withdrawn from it after making it? So when you shapechange the 2 magic points that was withdrawn is added to its shapeshifting alter form?


Third thing, it will be great if it was possible to combine the two commands #selectmonster and #newmonster so you could actually take the stats from the selected monster and create your own plus you can add your own adjustment into it.
Like:

#newmonster 2543
#selectmonster 564
#ap 14 <== Making the adjustment which will be replaced with the current #ap stat
#fireres 50 <== The selected monster didn't have fire resistance so I'll add it to my new monster
#end

Now you actually have a complete unit. It uses the stats and abilities from the selected monster 564, modified ap plus fire res. and gets unit ID 2543. A whole new monster

With this combined commands alot of people can use monster/units with special abilities which can't be accessed via modding command and perhaps solve some of the problem with making eg. Dragons like them in dom2

I already requested that, as a command #copymonster. I also requested #copy for new spells, items and the like. However, being able to do something totally new (like renaming spells, making spells that summon X creature Y) is, IMO, more important than being able to mod the stats of old creatures more easily.

Verjigorm made a mod to add DND type dragons. They can shapechange, but its apparently not possible to implement the -2 paths penalty.

I'll attach the mod just in case it helps. If you don't have the ADND2 monstrous compedium, you can't use the text legally. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
