Adding new skills?
« on: June 19, 2012, 04:57:24 pm »
Is it possible to add new skills and professions to the vanilla game by editing the raw files? I've been rooting around in them for a while, trying to add muskets and their pertinent skills, but I haven't been able to find how to do this yet.

Answers and help are greatly appreciated.

If the weapons are only used by a specific race then you could take a skill that isn't normally used (like blow gunner), have the weapons use that skill, and then rename it on the creature (not the entity) with something like:
[PROFESSION_NAME:BLOWGUNMAN:musketeer:musketeers]
[PROFESSION_NAME:MASTER_BLOWGUNMAN:sniper:snipers]

The only drawback is that if any other species gets its hands on the weapon they will become blow gunners.
