Re: Making mods for Dominions II. [Basic editing/modding discussion.]
Well I am still working on a Web-based senerio editor..... Umm, that is about it for now. The patch is a higher priority I would assume.

From what I understand upgrading the AI has NOT moved higher than MOD tools. I think the flavor of the discussions had something to do with it.

All we know is that at this point the first patch has priority. I think we can all agree with that and if not it is the Publishers/Developers decision to make not ours.

Yup, patch - improve AI - mod tools are the most important things for me.  |

Re: Making mods for Dominions II. [Basic editing/modding discussion.]
We should use this as the main modding thread [check the title!].
It is pointless to make more and tiny threads.
I guess the most important is the LotR mod atm.
Discuss about it here.
Keir plans to make it, so I might cancel my project than, but I can help him. Keir, if you require help [unit gfx etc.] let me know.
Cheers.

Re: Making mods for Dominions II. [Basic editing/modding discussion.]
Not to try and micromanage but maybe the LoTR MODders could mention if they have only a particular interest. It could be a really big project. The TGA map image? The images of the characters? the stats for the characters (the #commands in the monster edit pdf)? Certain races?
WHo is going to make the flaming eye on the tower immobile god of the enemy? The mounted "heroes" of the enemy?

Re: Making mods for Dominions II. [Basic editing/modding discussion.]
I can give my help to modders preparing per scritp or something similar ... but as long as I know the only files that are readable are the maps one ... and I think it's quite easy from anyone with a little programming background to prepare something that work with that ...
anyway, someoene know where (which files) all the other informations (stas for the units/magic/pretender) coded in the original games are stored ? and in which format ? ... or is a sort of 'state secret' that developers don't want common folks knows ? it would be nice to just runn some script to get all this stats out and put in a nice table!
good luck

Re: Making mods for Dominions II. [Basic editing/modding discussion.]
I'm making a modding tool too!
It does not actually help you make mods, just balance them. I think I mentioned it before... a battle sim. 1-on-1 melee only, but it will be very useful, and give units melee power rankings.
If it makes it simpler for me, I may add a GUI the spits out a text file of the unit. In Java, of course.
