Default Re: need some help with my 1st mod

Adding the Lord of War as your graphic is a bit easier than you might expect. All you need to do is add a command to the Beowulf unit...

#copyspr 1340

In game this command will assign the Lord of War graphics to the new unit.

Concerning weapons. I got bad news for you. Alot of the weapons that are listed with the same names as magical artifacts do not work properly. In game, it will show him as having the weapons and armor on his person (not in the item slots), but they will not have the same properties as the real items. I am not sure this is the case with 100% of the items that share names with craftable magic items, but at the very least it was like that with the ones I tried.

That being said, you may be able to create new weapons and armor and assign some of the effects you want to those.

I use notepad to create mods. Normally I go through the routine of saving as a .dm file that you seem to have looked at already. Also, I would suggest picking up ParadoxHarbinger's unit creator. It can save a lot of time creating new units, and it cuts down on the initial typos that are normally game crashing.
