Custom icons would be excellent.

Wow, I hardly believed, it is not possible yet, and I'm even more supprised nobody wrote it here, yet but:

It would be great, if you could create ranged weapons with a range depending on strength.
range -1 to range -3 for strength to strength/3 sound like the most intuitive option.

If you check out Fire Bola stats from the manual, you'll notice that it's range is listed as -1. So range: -1 IS range: strength; the only problem is that -1 isn't eligible target value for modding...

Are there any str/2 or str/3 range weapons? Boulder uses one of the two, but I think that's about the only thing.

Breath weapons (fire, cold, bile) have strength /2.
Boulders have strength /3

The dom3 database uses -1 as strength, -2 as str/2 and -3 as str/3, too.

I tried it manually, the range field seams to be 31 bits + 1 bit for the signum (like most in dominions.
If you choose any number smaler 2^31 ( =2147483648 ) for the range, it get's cut down to range 100.
Sadly 2147283648 to 4294967295 (the 32nd digit being a 1 in binary) result in the weapon apearing as a melee weapon.
Can't trick the limits of modding.

The DB is NOT a guide to using modding commands. I just needed something to display things as they appear.
