Default Re: Modding -- Simplest Questions

Howdy, howdy!

There are some threads on the matter, but not a newbie guide IIRC.

There are modding documents available when you patch the game IIRC.

Download one of the mods from our website. Hoburg alliance or HE - special edition (player made). Just open the 'mod.dm' file in a text editor and take a look.

You will need a .dm file and some sprites in tga format (unless you use existing monsters and give them new stats).


Shapechanging capabilities are moddable as of 2.13 (documentation is coming). This includes upon-death-transformation. There is a thread on this matter somewhere.


I do not remember the modding comands, but I believe they are:

#secondshape nbr - commander able to switch shape (like dragons) into this form
#firstshape nbr - commander able to switch back into this form
#secondshape nbr - unit takes this shape upon death
#secondtempshape nbr - turns into something upon death that do not stay after battle


Twin spawning blue horrors are not possible.

Scale effects and national preferences can be altered, dominion effects not, IIRC.


Good luck and ask again.

Edit: hmm. Something is wrong with the #secondshape. There should be two different commands. Can't remember what the other one is called.
