Toolkit and Action Editor

origen · Post by **origen** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 2:14 pm

I am doing some work with the action editor, and it brought up some questions.

1. Will there be a fixed version of the action editor? I know the devs have a lot of delays, but for modding purposes, not being able to make a Thaumaturgist spell is a little annoying, and I am sure a simple fix.

2. What is the difference between being Aged and Withered? Is there a difference?

3. Will there be a toolkit update as well? Any of the mods that are created will not work with the actual game if they create monsters and/or items, because everything that was added at a later time will not be there.

I can only answer one of your questions (the other two need to be answered by the powers that be at SSS)...

Aged is much more debilitating than withered. Basically, it's like this:

Aged) You're instantly 90 years old. Your effective stats all drop to very low values, and as a result you have poor defense, poor damage base, and are very slow. You're old!

Withered) One of your arms has withered into a stump. Your strength drops, but most of your other stats don't change all that much. It also cheaper to heal.

Makes sense. Thanks.

Another question about the action editor, which I can't remember if I asked already. Is it possible to add a monster attack that will only affect the first 4 characters? If you set it as a skill for Melee range, it can attack any of your 8 characters, regardless of where they are.

... I can't say for sure, 'cause I don't remember, but I don't think it's possible. As far as I can remember, the 'only hits the first four' code is in the attack skill itself, it's not supported in the generic skill/spell interface.

Origen -
I'm not sure what can be done, but we can start with a list of issues with the current toolkit

Thanks!

I've got a copy of a modified action editor. Let me know your email, and I'll send it to you. I'm not sure what you mean about the thaumaturge spell, but it does fox some problems with resistance.

Ralph, Origen noticed that if you try to create a Thaumaturgist spell, it won't keep the Thaumaturge flag.

I'll see what I can do. I may some changes to fix some other things with the editor, so it may have been fixed already.

Not that I would think any devs are still around, but I can't get my action editor to work at all now on my reformatted computer. So, if there is a modified version somewhere, I want it.

Where is this action editor? I see where the actions.dat file is but no action editor. Was this on a separate download than the DW tools? Cause If so I never got one.

It was a completely separate download, which I do not believe is no longer available, ever since the site first crashed. I do have a copy, somewhere. I will see if I can dig it up.

That'd be great if you have it. Thanks.

I did find it. I have nowhere to post it now, so if you want me to email you, just pm me your address.

Awesome!!

I just sent you my email in a PM. Thanks for sending this!
