Question involving raw file editing and abilitys on a race
« on: August 26, 2013, 06:41:53 pm »

hello i am wonder how you would get the abilitys of a dwarven lifemancer, onto that of lets say, the elf ashlander, incarnate's. i am playing as one in adventure mode and would like to add some cool abilitys with resurection and healing but i cant seem to find where their abilitys are. i was able to add the ash cloud from the wizard onto them and aswell as the flee ability from the dwarves.

i am not sure if the abilitys are located somewere or they are just somehow linked with the dwarf lifemancer caste.

help would be appreceated.

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't they just normal interractions under the caste in creature_standard that link to interractions in some of the interraction files?

Edit: (These are from 3f)
Like this under caste

and this in interraction_masterwork

You can also just make your own syndromes, interractions and whatnot pretty easily. If in doubt just find a similar syndrome or interraction and change the effects to suit your need.

well underneath the lifemancer caste for the dwarves it has no ability's under it and says nothing about witch ability's it exactly has, but the masterwork_ability's file is basically what i was looking for so thanks

antoher quick question, how would you make it so you can play as an outsider elf or something like that in adventure mode.

You have to look again. CASTE:WHITE only has description and name, SELECT_CASTE:WHITE has the abilitity. its simply further down in the file.
