Question about modding
« on: August 03, 2007, 07:56:00 pm »

Can I make creatures normally playable in adventure mode?
And by normally I don't think with play now, I already know how to do that.

No, unfortunately. I tried that with kobolds once. Figured I could have the little guy start out in a kobold cave and have him sneak into human towns and steal stuff. Alas, it was not meant to be.  :(

Is it possible to add material tags to weapons?
Like making all bows wooden for example.

Is it possible to have CRIT_BOOST:3?
Does anyone know what UPSTEP is in the item_shield?

Actually, Gaulgath, you can make [FIELD_SETTLEMENTS] civilizations that have their own towns and etc. I recently created an Ogre civilization (and a separate Half-Ogre one) that is not only playable (with starting towns) in Adventure Mode, but they also trade with my Dwarf Fortress. The only major problems I have is that the merchants in Adventure Mode have no items and that the mayor will usually give me a quest to kill an Ogre....from the same town!
I also added giant clubs which use the mace skill and renamed ogre macemen to Smashers.    :)

The easiest way to do so would be by copying/pasting the Human civilization in the entity_default file and changing the creatures accordingly. You have to make a new world for it as well.

Also, they take up space that would normally be taken by Human civs, so more modded civilizations = less human civilizations.

I made a world where instead of elves you have werewolves and instead of humans (homemade) nagas.
It was just a silly experiment my lil bro made me do.
It also showed me I can remove limits of only wooden weapons with elves, and that weapons can't have CRIT_BOOST=5.
