Remove Curses and Horror Marks?

And removing items from the construction list doesn't seem to work either. :/

..and I can't get your mod to work. I tried it in the Aran map, but I didn't start in Province 1 (Which was land!) nor did I get unit 123.
*edit*
Oh, that's -map- modding. No wonder that last one didn't work.

Yah, the commander thing is for map modding. It's just so you can see your change easily.

Quick question - are you closing the game (the entire program, not an individual game session) in between modifications to your .DM file? Note that the program only reads the mods when it's starting, so if you change the mod after the program is started, it won't "notice".

Also - are you sure you've enabled your mod in the preferences menu?

If you try this:

#selectmonster 307 -- lesser horror
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon "nothing"
#end

#selectmonster 307 -- lesser horror
#weapon "claw"
#end

...does that change anything?

Yes and yes.

If you try this:

#selectmonster 307 -- lesser horror
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon "nothing"
#end

#selectmonster 307 -- lesser horror
#weapon "claw"
#end

I'll have to test it. I have discovered that I haven't managed to get rid of the Horror Mark effect from Astral Claw with

#selectweapon 70
#secondaryeffect 0
#end

Maybe I'll try "nothing" instead of "0" when I try the other thing.

Tested, didn't work (Although I used numbers instead of names for the latter.)

Example:

#selectunit 651
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon "nothing"
#end

#selectunit 651
#weapon 269
#weapon 63
#weapon 270
#weapon 70
#end

At first I thought the weapon changes worked, but I guess the Horrors were just unlucky/one-shotting their opponents. The Eater of Gods vs. some undead seems to be Horror Marking them just fine.
*edit*
Unless it has a special property where things that hit it get Horror Marked. I saw a command for that in the modding manual, but the database didn't mention any units that actually had such a property.
*edit2*
I think that's exactly what's happening. How do I get rid of THAT?

Have you clicked on the actual weapons to make sure what they do? Because there's a tag to cause a unit to horror mark things that attempt to attack it, which could be the culprit.

[Zogundar]

Well I don't think that's the case with the Eater of Gods.

[Zogundar]

Oops, I'm retarded, I've been using #selectunit instead of #selectmonster. Still don't quite have that sorted out (Will need to do more testing now that the starting tag actually works.)

And of course I need to know about any hidden Horror Marking units or items that inflict the status upon attackers..

[Zogundar]

Haven't quite gotten the unit weapons sorted out yet. Somehow experimenting with what weapons to give certain units, such as a Fist to a Lesser Horror,

#selectmonster 307
#weapon 92
#weapon 0
#end

works as intended. I can't tell you why

#selectmonster 651
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon "nothing"
#weapon 269
#weapon 63
#weapon 270
#weapon 70
#end

ALSO results in the unit having a single fist. I thought maybe this somehow happened due to me missing an #end tag somewhere but everything seems in order.

As for events, I've tried setting them to #eventisrare 0 (Does 0 work for #eventisrare?) as well as toggling events to be rare in the game settings (Is there a way to change the defaults for that?) and I still have units getting cursed along with other nasty events in the home province which I assume has something to do with the units that are there. Like the Abomination of Desolation. How exactly do units like this trigger events? Can I change the unit so it doesn't trigger them? (Although I'm not sure if there's a need to, can you actually summon these things so that they live in your provinces under normal circumstances?)
