Re: new modder

yeah that was my plan, and gonna have alignment modifiers...
was gonna have different augmentations just so there was a little bit more difference between them.

Re: new modder

i didnt think you could post mods unless you had that modder thing by your name...

Thats how you get that title, by helping out a lot in the modding section and making mods for others to download and use.

Spoiler

those good enough, ill be working on the evil/good versions later, and ill re-texture it

and eventually if i figure out how, im gonna make the wand a ranged weopon, so it can shoot "magic bolts" probably just reskinned arrows or something...

For making it a ranged weapon: check the CWeaponDef of the stick and change type and class. For reference you could check the CWeaponDef of a (cross)bow.

You'll also have to link it to a SHOT type, this is also done in the CWeaponDef.

Then I'd suggest making it dissapear when you sheathe it, like a crossbow (how to found here).

Good luck!

I believe you are referring to the 'fireball' the minions use?

It's called SHOT_MINION_FIREBALL

The different Jack of Blades fireballs/SHOT entry's are interesting too, a bit overpowered maybe...

Re: new modder

The quiver is nothing but an object on your back which is set to appear with bows. Just an Object, nothing else.

As for ammo, check the settings for that by looking at other ranged weapons.

Also check the Draw/Reload speed and Enable Auto-Reload settings (also in the CWeaponDef).

Re: new modder

now, im starting from a bow base, then adding the wand stuff to it...

What entry's did you put in the fmp?

CWeaponDef entry is my guess. FMP's need unique symbol names.

Let me explain:

You can drag an OBJECT entry in the 'create fmp' box, since it has a Symbol Name (or a CREATURE entry etc.)

A standard CDef entry (CWeaponDef, CHeroMorphDef etc etc) doesn't have a Symbol Name; so if you want to use one in a mod, you have to make a new entry WITH a Symbol Name. Or else the FMP doesn't work.

Folow?

Re: new modder

sort of. but i thought i did that...
do i need to make a new entry for all of those cdef things?

No, only the ones you want to change.

Say you want a new weapon, with custom damage, and custom augmentations.

This would mean (the names are just examples):

New CWeaponDef entry
-> Symbol name: CWeaponDef - NEW
-> Definition Type: CWeaponDef

New CObjectAugmentationsDef entry
-> Symbol Name: CObjectAugmentationsDef - NEW
-> Definition Type: CObjectAugmentationsDef

New OBJECT entry
-> Symbol Name: OBJECT_NEW
-> Definition Type: OBJECT

Also I'd recommend making the new CDef entry's first, before the OBJECT entry. Since you link from the OBJECT entry to the new CDefs, this avoids errors.

Then link it up correctly, 'apply changes', and drag the entry's in the 'create FMP' box - in the same order you've created them.

Don't give up on it. Trial and error is a good way to learn this stuff

Re: new modder

You should look at Ailia's GWP v5 at FABLETLCMOD: Making our own destiny.... She released the magic projectile part, you should be able to learn from that.

Re: new modder

thanks, ill look into that, but im not sure exactly how im gonna make it work...

oh, and i re-skinned an apprentice robe, i tried to make it look like this molten rock thing, but it looks a little more like dragon hide or something to me

and do you know what the frames do in textures?
if they do what i think they do, which is cycle between pictures, im gonna make like a glowing fiery armor thingy...
or something that like has a moving wave on it or something
