Can't find enough big nasties to beat up? Need to hold back the Tides of Darkness just to get a kick? Opening a demon pit as an adventurer might be for you!

While making adamatium weapon vaults I noticed an interesting quirk. Using reveal to uncover a Pit prevents you from 'discovering' it, meaning even if you open it, nothing will spawn. Obvious right? The same problem occurs with Magma buildings.

However, if you return to that same fortress as an adventurer, as soon as you reach the boundaries of the Pit, you unleash the foul denizens locked within as well as their captives, and they will not be happy to see you. They all spawn stealthed like normal, and quickly swarm out to infest the rest of the fortress. Because of this you can fight them two ways. Either stand at the entrance and heroically keep them from escaping the pit, or unleashing them, ducking into a side passage, and letting them stream into the fortress for you to fight your way out of.

Note: I don't know if this is already common knowledge, I found it out recently and thought it would make for a better demon slaying experience.

That last one doesn't work, last I heard SoF can fly. Still, defeating an entire wave of other demons by collapsing a gigantic bridge over a bottomless pit at the centre of an artificial chasm....

[Hishan]

hmmmmm it would be amusing to fight them off as they swarm around you though!

But this the definately the ultimate challenge for any cocky adventurer

[Byakugan01]

Let's call it the Gandalf challenge. This needs an achievement in the related thread...and Bonus points if you do it on a bridge supported only by wooden supports. (so SoF really CAN collapse the bridge)

Someone mod in some staffs and wizard hats.

[ein]

Here you go:

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_STAFF]
[NAME:staff:staffs]
[DAMAGE:60:BLUDGEON]
[WEIGHT:40]
[SKILL:SPEAR]
[CRIT_BOOST:2]
[TWO_HANDED:5]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:5]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:3]

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_HELM:ITEM_HELM_WIZ_HAT]
[NAME:wizard hat:wizard hats]
[WEIGHT:10]
[VALUE:10]
[BLOCKPOWER:20]
[LAYER:OVER]
[COVERAGE:100]
[LAYER_SIZE:10]
[LAYER_PERMIT:100]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:2]
[SOFT]
[LEATHER]

[Hishan]

Easily done, now equip both and do it! If you don't yell "you shall not pass" at your monitor you're doing it wrong

EDIT: it seems ein did the modding for you

[ein]

Modding new items is incredibly easy.
All I did was copy some stuff from the raws and change the name. And the damage on the staff.

Also, some magic for you:

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_FIREBALL]
[NAME:fireball:fireballs]
[CLASS:MAGIC]
[DAMAGE:100:HEAT]

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_MISSILE]
[NAME:magic missile:magic missiles]
[CLASS:MAGIC]
[DAMAGE:100:BLUDGEON]

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_NEEDLES]
[NAME:flying needles:flying needles]
[CLASS:MAGIC]
[DAMAGE:100:PIERCE]
Just add

Code: [Select]

[RANGED:SPEAR:MAGIC]to the staff.

[zchris13]

Where you going to pick up some fireballs, now?

SOMEONE MAKE A NEEDLER. NOW.

[ein]

Obviously the magic would be crafted out of stuff in the same way as ammo.
This leads to interesting things like "wooden fireballs."

Also:

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_NEEDLER]
[NAME:needler:needlers]
[DAMAGE:30:BLUDGEON]
[WEIGHT:20]
[SKILL:HAMMER]
[RANGED:CROSSBOW:NEEDLES]
[CRIT_BOOST:2]
[TWO_HANDED:2]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:5]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:3]
Just replace MAGIC in the needles with NEEDLES and PIERCE with GORE.
It might also be better to replace flying with exploding.

EDIT: Okay, here's some things you'll need to start your magic crafting.

Code: [Select]

[MATGLOSS_STONE:MAGE_STONE]
[NAME:magic stone][COLOR:3:7:1][TILE:13]
[ENVIRONMENT:SEDIMENTARY:CLUSTER:20]
[ENVIRONMENT:IGNEOUS_EXTRUSIVE:CLUSTER:20]
[ITEM_SYMBOL:'*']
[SOLID_DENSITY:5100]
[VALUE:8]
[MELTING_POINT:10000]

Code: [Select]

[MATGLOSS_STONE:RUNE]
[NAME:rune][COLOR:5:5:1][TILE:13]
[ITEM_SYMBOL:15]
[SOLID_DENSITY:5100]
[VALUE:8]
[MELTING_POINT:10000]

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAGIC]
[NAME:craft runes from magic stone]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:MAGE_STONE]

[REACTION:<magic ammo here>]
[NAME:craft <magic ammo> from runes]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:RUNE]
<product code goes here>
Yeah, I'm not really sure how to have stuff other than stone and gems and metal be in a reaction. I'm going to do some research on it now. Feel free to use these as you wish. I'll probably make a mod out of it sooner or later.

I love it when modders come out of modding discussion, then do a simple bit of modding for the masses, it makes everyones lives better. Like a saint from heaven, but dwarfy. (scuttles off to modding discussion)

All you have to do is ask.
Though it's more effective (and dwarfy) to say "Quick! Somebody make x!"

Anyway, this thread has inspired me to create a magic mod.

[zchris13]

What are you talking about. Needlers to 70 melee damage.

Oh im a modder myself, and yes custon weapons are fun, my favourite bit is messing with smelter reactions to create explosive properties, creating an effective minefield for my enemies.
