Modding: like this?
 

Would this hypothetical weapon work?
<font color="blue">
#newweapon &lt;679&gt;

#name &lt;Auroralic Bolt&gt;

#nratt &lt;1&gt;

#aoe &lt;1&gt;

#dmg &lt;10&gt;

#att &lt;0&gt;

#range &lt;10&gt;

#ammo &lt;3&gt;

#nostr

#magic

#shock

#armornegating

#sound &lt;24&gt;

#explspr &lt;10001&gt;

#flyspr &lt;141&gt; &lt;8&gt;

#secondaryeffect &lt;114&gt;

#end
</font>

I'm asking because there aren't any examples in Dom II like they had in Dom I...

Re: Modding: like this?
 

This will not work.

There are countless examples .. just download any one of of all those mods around and check them out...

Re: Modding: like this?
 

I guess this will be more like it then?

#newweapon 924
#name "Auroralic Bolt"
#nratt 1
#aoe 1
#dmg 10
#range 10
#ammo 3
#nostr
#magic
#shock
#armornegating
#sound 24
#explspr 10001
#flyspr 141 8
#secondaryeffect 114
#end
-- This is the long range strike of Aurora Soldiers

This looks quite ok.
But you may want to add an attack value. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
"0" is ok for bows with ammo 20, but for a ranged attack with ammo 3 on a considerable expensive unit, this may be to few. I would suggest testing with "2".

Re: Modding: like this?
 

Well the unit itself is a summonable sacred ethereal fireshielded non-living thingy with nasty close attack...

Not much HP though.

But good to know that it would work. I'll proceed with my project. Coming next: the amazing transformation of Ulmish units. The Master Alchemists drank too much mercury and got replaced with the Sky Smith. Yay!

How do you define how much pretender costs in points? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Modding: like this?
 

Use #gcost , it's read as "design cost" when pretender tag on.

Re: Modding: like this?
 

Righty then.

Would this work?

Re: Modding: like this?
 

You don't need to have "" with numbers. Other than that, it looks like it should work. However, boost his hits a little. He is a pretender, and a Smith, after all.


Also, you don't need to define *everything*. Leave out the #spr and #spr2 if you don't want the picture to change, #noundeadleader is not needed unless you are modding something to lose that ability, etc.

Re: Modding: like this?
 

spr's are empty because I don't have any sprites. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

BTW, I forgot the #clear and #clearspec in that pretender. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
