Utility: The Mod Compatibility Index

[Gregstrom]

Okay, I've done CBM 1.5 in gawk.
Monster IDs: 2800,2802-2806,2808-2816,2818-2821,2823-2824,2826-2840,2842-2845,2846,2850-2851,2877-2883,2888,2891-2892
Weapon IDs: 659,708-711,751-757,768-771
Armor IDs: 252-265,380-382
Spell Slots: 2

There are a lot of gaps, which is interesting. I'd sort of assumed people would work in solid blocks of unit IDs... on the other hand, CBM has been very heavily revised over the years so I can see how it happens.

That's a quick trawl through the first page or so of the mods forum.

It looks like very few to no nations use more than 50 monsterIDs - even CBM uses under 100. Armour and weapon IDs see less use, natch.

It's also apparent that ID slots aren't currently used in contiguous blocks.

[Gregstrom]

Limits:
Weapon ID# = 600-999
Armour ID# = 200-399
Monster ID# = 2200-2999 according to the manual. This would seem not to be the case. Maybe the limit is 3999?

[Gregstrom]

Site ID# = 750-999
Nation ID# = 72-94 (unless 72 is too low now).
Oops, missed these.

[Gregstrom]

I have put 60-odd mod's worth of data in an excel file and attached it to the top post. Any thoughts?

The main theoretical limiting factors for combining mods seem to be nation numbers and spell slots. So far the monster, weapon, armour and site ID ranges probably stretch far enough - just.

[rdonj]

Spell slots are currently probably the biggest limitation. If you use burnsaber's CPCS mod it's really hard to combine with much else.

[Sombre]

You can get around some spell slot limitations by overwriting national spells from other eras or nations that won't be in the game though. Plus there are some vanilla spells that could be replaced entirely without people getting too upset. Seven year fever anyone?

Hey, could you put in Skavenblight 1.00? LlamaServer gives this link for it: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=34920
