Default Re: Anyone want to help with the combat simulator?

Ok, I added all that stuff! I'm going to write a module that spits out all that data in text format, and inputs the data in text format, so that weapons would be defined like this:

"Spear" dam=3 att=2 def=1 length=5 hits=1 hands=1
"Poison_Dagger" dam=2 att=2 def=1 length=5 hits=1 hands=1 poisondam=15
"Sleep_Vines" dam=0 att=1 def=1 length=3 hits=3 hands=1 fatiguedam=33

(all these are imaginary examples with wrong stats)

And so forth. So, don't worry, all the stuff you wrote will be used (and thanks again!), but if anyone wants to add more items and weapons, you can put it in that simpler format. I have not decided on a text format for creatures and units yet.

P.S. Please note that names with spaces (like "Poison Dagger") get underscores instead ("Poison_Dagger").

And as I recall, Weak Poison is 5, Strong is 15, and Death is 35. If you want to add different things with the same Dominions name, just make up new names, like "Horse Hoof" vs "Bull Hoof" or "Hoof 1" and "Hoof 2".
