In unrelated news, there are already, like, 3 DF mods for TES
I would make one, but ^
So, I'm going to make some stuff. I'm going to start with some interactions that are related to some lore issues; first is CHIM.
Since I have no freaking idea how to do interactions, because there's no way to test them nor is there a way to do some sort of string dump, this is the best I could make on the spot:
[code]
[INTERACTION:CHIM]
[I_SOURCE:SECRET]
[IS_NAME:the secret of being in the imagination of a sleeping god-head]
[IS_SPHERE:FATE]
[IS_SECRET_GOAL:no freaking idea] I put this in because I don't know any secret goals. Perhaps it could be KNOWLEDGE, but I don't know if that's a thing.
[IS_SECRET:SUPERNATURAL_LEARNING_POSSIBLE] This means that it can be taught from deities, I believe. Probably not well enough good. I forgot how to say what I meant there. Huh.
[IS_SECRET:MUNDANE_RESEARCH_POSSIBLE]I think this means that it can be found through normal research, which may be how Vivec found it. Maybe it involved the heart of Lorkhan. Heck, Talos's power might have come from being an avatar of Lorkhan. So two sides to every story???
[IS_SECRET:MUNDANE_RECORDING_POSSIBLE:objects/text/book_instruction.txt:objects/text/sermons_chim.txt] I think that this means that it may be read to learn the secret. It doesn't really fit with the whole "only certain people who have a particular ego can work it" thing unless I had an extra "chance-to-die" thing to the syndrome, but oh well.
[I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
[IT_REQUIRES:MORTAL] I'm not sure if I should have this...
[IT_REQUIRES:CAN_LEARN]
[IT_REQUIRES:CAN_SPEAK]
[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[SYNDROME]
[70%_CHANCE_OF_DEATH] pseudocode for later, I want there to be a 70% chance of ceasing to exist (abstracted as what is probably suffocating, honestly) for one who discovers the secret, to represent zero-summing.
[CE_ADD_TAG:NOEXERT:NO_AGING:NO_EAT:NO_DRINK:NO_SLEEP:NO_PHYS_ATT_RUST:START:0]
Of course, that's just the base interaction. No, the important part is the interactions that one who has CHIM would be able to do.
To put it as simply as possible, CHIM is a state in which one is essentially omnipotent. Two people are known to have achieved CHIM: Vivec and Talos. I say Talos and not Tiber Septim because, well, it's interesting
.
Don't ask why I'm doing what's obviously hardest first. The main reason for that is because I always do that >_> I started modding with a mod that requires 24 castes, my first compatibility patch for that mod was for Genesis, which required a big rewrite for aforementioned creature...
I guess I like starting with hard shit
