Thanks for making me a golem, Peng! I've made several different types now, and all seem to work. " awesome!

I have one final question for anybody: How would you recommend making custom weapons? I want to make a special enchanted dagger which can be wielded by dwarves. How do I, persay, "Enchant" it with certain elements? Fire, ice, poison...?

Sorry

[penguify]

I can give advice on how to make one, though I don't feel like making one myself right now... Basically, you can clone the bronze colossus, reduce its size to about 70000, remove the [MEGABEAST] tag, add the [PET][COMMON_DOMESTIC] and [TRAINABLE_WAR] tags, change frequency to 0, change the material to, like, wood or something, and rename it. This will make a wood golem. Replace "wood" with foo, then create a material foo, and it's all done. I think.


edit: Okay, so I did it anyway. Add this to some creature file. Currently, it's a little too strong, as the clay material is as hard as rock. Naturally, you can replace clay with whatever you like, although all soils are equally strong. So you can make your iron, steel, bronze ones. The only difference between them will be the material type, though you could make the harder metals larger and stronger if you want to.

You also might want to change the soil material template: make every number relating to strength about half of what it is right now. That should nerf this down to the right level.

[thatkid]

Instead of altering the soil template, you could also make a new template for clay (GOLEM_CLAY or something) and use that instead.

[Dave1004]

SWEET! Thanks, Peng! I'll test it out when I get home, on my gaming computer. Much appreciation ! Seriously, thank you xD. I seriously appreciate it. I'll nerf it appropriately, but seriously. THANK YOU xD. You've saved from having "Urist McDrunk cancelled drink: Interrupted by Skeletal Badger Boar"

Fourth time I've reclaimed this damn place. Fourth time I died...Five dwarves full military, good weapons, etc etc. Still lost. THANK YOU XD. Perfect timing too, I gotta g o back home to the farm (Durr, praise the lord for highspeed internet in town. I hate our dial-up)



I'll try that too, Thatkid. Thanks :O!

P.S: Do I have to name the file something specific? Sorry xD. Totally new to the modding aspect. My first try I put cow's grazing speed to "5", thinking hey, at least they won't eat everything. LITTLE DID I KNOW, that lower # = higher eating. Seriously, they ate everything and were starving. Then the frogmen came...

[penguify]

You can put it in any of the existing creature raw files, or you can create a new one called foo.txt, with the first line saying foo, and the second line saying [OBJECT:CREATURE]. You need the first line to be the same as the file name minus the .txt, you see.

ps I haven't tested that clay golem at all, you'll have to try it in the arena to see what it's capable of.

[Dave1004]

Sweet, that was simple . Thanks xD. I just stuck it in the domestic folder...

[thatkid]

You used to be able to make 'magic' weapons that would burn their opponents and stuff, if I recall, but it isn't really possible anymore as far as I know.

[Dave1004]

*sob* oh well...Was worth a shot xD. Thanks mate!

You can do that now. [HOMEOHERM:15000].

The weapon isn't exactly the sort of thing anyone can hold though, I thought?

I dunno, I've used body parts as weapons before, why should golems be different?

[penguify]

You'd use fixed_temp, and you might have to apply it to the material, I'm not sure. But that wouldn't make your golems' attacks be fire, it'd just make anything that went near them be on fire. Also, I'm pretty sure the "clay" would melt, since it's based on the soil template, which is based on the stone template, which is not magma safe. You could make them super-cold too. You could, for poison, give them a poison-injecting attack like the giant cave spider. But I don't think that's what you meant with the question.

For hand held weapons, there is no current way to give them special attack types. No poison, no fire, no cold. You can give poison attack types (and fixed-temp pseudo-attacks) to creatures, but not to weapons.
