I'm going to make a mod! AND YOU GOTTA HELP US!
« on: November 07, 2012, 07:13:14 pm »
If you need instructions, check out the enclosed wiki manual I TRIED THAT MARIO IT HELPS SOMETIMES BUT NOT ALWAYS

Anyhow, guys and gals, I am attempting to make my second Dominions mod (based around the hit game series by Shrapnel.) I'm going to need A LOT of help for some of these things, since I am VERY STUPID.

My first question / request : Can anyone make / tell me how to make a cheap and dirty human body that emits heat? Basically all the same body parts as a human, but with heat radiation - enough to burn people who stand adjacent for more than a few rounds in combat. I imagine this will be mainly CREATURE_TISSUE editing or something.

Thank you very much! :D

Just use the basic human body and then give your creature [FIXED_TEMP:XXXX].

Is FIXED_TEMP still a valid creature token?

EDIT: Huh. That it is.

O_O

I never expected that!

Won't my creature set itself alight then, i.e. cause itself immeasurable suffering and pain at all times?

Likely. Use this to prevent that:

[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]
[IF_EXISTS_SET_IGNITE_POINT:50000]
[IF_EXISTS_SET_MELTING_POINT:50000]
[IF_EXISTS_SET_BOILING_POINT:50000]
[IF_EXISTS_SET_HEATDAM_POINT:50000]

Then make sure your FIXED_TEMP is below 50000.

Oh, cheers Putnam! :D I think 50,000 might be a bit high, but I get the principle! :)

Thank you! :)
 
EDIT: Thanks Roy too! :D

[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]
   [IF_EXISTS_SET_IGNITE_POINT:10457]
   [IF_EXISTS_SET_MELTING_POINT:10512]
   [IF_EXISTS_SET_BOILING_POINT:10570]
   [IF_EXISTS_SET_HEATDAM_POINT:10457]
   
   [FIXED_TEMP:10357]
        [HOMEOTHERM:10357]

This should be alright? :)

Since you have [FIXED_TEMP:XXXX] you don't need the [HOMEOTHERM:XXXX] token, but other then that that should work fine.

The funny thing here is that what reminded me of this option was a memory of you asking if FIXED_TEMP in this thread.

Hey, this is irony!  A friend and I just started work on a mod in which we were going to incorporate ideas from Dominions -- not necessarily the whole thing, but parts.  I was imagining sieges by Lankan palankashas, oni and bakemonos...  Pangaean-style satyrs and dryads demanding you limit tree consumption...  trading with Fir Bolg/Nemedian...  Fomorians...  Agarthan Fortress...  Ah, Dominions has a style.

We're sort of where you are in terms of modding skill, but we're learning.  Might want to share stuff!

Zucchini, that's great news! :) The more the merrier. I'm hoping to port over all the EA races and possibly some of the 'high end' summons. I'm working on abysians at the moment. :)

CODE ATTACK BELOW : Are there any glaring issues? I know I still have to adjust skin and eye colours, and I'm investigating how to give the warlocks interactions, but any problems yet (main issue : castes.)

Ah! If you change materials in any caste, they'll change in all castes. That's one problem I see there.

I guess you don't mind if I steal the spotlights, but, I do need some help too. I'd like to know how can I create a sawmill that will turn wood logs into planks[wood blocks] and its reaction... Can someone explain?
