Default Grr... Mod question

Modding a new R'lyeh weapon, but having problems. Basically it's an AoE Mind BLast. I know the basics, but I can't find how to add in the Paralyze effect. Any way to do so? Or is it possible to just "clone" the Mind BLast as a new weapon and add in the AoE?

Also, what exactly does that Last line in the Mind BLast description mean? Something like, "additional damage (1 an+mr)" or something.

I believe its 1 armor negating dmg if the unit fails a magic resistance roll

Currently it is impossible to add secondary effects to weapons via modding. That option may or may not become available in later patches. Hence, you cannot add paralyzation or other effects. What you can do is take either Mind BLast (86, 12 and dmg) or Mind BLast (311, 10 an), use the #selectweapon command and assign aoe 1. If you do this, you should mod those R'lyeh units that use the now modified mind bLast to use the other one, and use the modified one for the new units you have in mind.

We could only hope Dom3 will include improved modding abilities which will allow such things... *cough* *cough*

Cutting off one head only causes two to grow. -_- Thanks for the advice. I fixed the Mind BLast problem, I think. 311 was edited and the 3 R'lyeh troops who used it now use the other. I don't think there are any other units that use weapon #311, but I may be wrong.

The unit being worked on is a Pretender. I am now having problems with the description showing up. I used #desc "Text description here." but no matter what I substitute in, it still says "no description available" ingame. Also, the unit image. I thought black was used as transparent, but the unit is encased in a big black rectangle now. ^^;

Edit: Never mind about the description. I used #desc instead of #descr, the actual command. My mistake.

Looking like black isn't enough... it should be as black as possbile! I don't remember which end it was (0,0,0) or (255,255,255), but other is white and other black. You should use *that* black.
