Testing Arena for Other Additions
« on: October 29, 2010, 04:29:43 pm »
As it stands, the object testing arena is a brilliant way to test out creatures, weapons and armours for modders who are unsure of their work. What would be exceptionally helpful, though, is if we could test more than that.
The ability to spawn plants, buildings, etc., would be a substantial help to inexperience modders. As well as that, perhaps a test subject that can be controlled Fortress-style to test out reactions and such.
I don't know how easy or difficult this would be to implement, or if it would be better implemented as a separate testing mode. Just throwing it out there. I'd be immensely thankful if Toady ever added something like this.

It would be good to test it Fort style, especially for testing group battles.
