I've managed to get the Oculus model in ( though it is clearly far from a finished model, including no textures ). Same with his eyeballs, which are just silver spheres. They made some significant changes to the scripting of things after his abilities were made, so almost none work so far either, though could possibly be fixed.

Aside from that, I've mostly just messed with armor and health. Example: I don't like that the giant walking fortress has less armor than the torchbearer.

I haven't looked too seriously into yet, as anything I do will change with 1.3 and real mod support. Then I plan to make a mod to tweak the DGs to fit their stereotypical roles better, and to see that a super powerful demigod isnt 1 shotted. ( IE: Increase health, decrease lifetaps/heals, etc...make it so your life goes down slower, but it also goes back up slower )

Ohh, I also have played with max levels. Apparently they originally planned to go to  25, but commented out 21-25. There also seems to be nothing stopping you from going higher very easily. ( While testing this I went to 30. All you do is set at what xp you are whatever level. It just keeps going until there is no longer another level listed to go to. )

I had that issue with oculus a number of times. Somewhere or other you are getting conflicting models. You need to go through all of the files for that character and check every model reference...somewhere it is still listing the original demigod that I'm guessing you overwrote.

well modding support was support to be up in V1.2 (as in September) however Frogboy annonced that they were going to push it down the list so Clan Support can take its place... so by 1.3 i think he means > 1.2.  for mor einfo check out the I'm Back post in Journals

well imo, robust clan support is more important than robust modding support so I like stardock/gpg's priorities right now.

About modding though, I'm still curious about how they are gonna support it. Frogboy mentioned something about "sanctioned" mods...What does that mean? 

Yea...I have Warhammers 1.3 patch on the mind still, grr.

So yea, hopefully 1.2 will still have modding support. If they need to delay something so they can focus more on clan support, they can hold back on modding tools and the official mods system for now. Just atleast find a way for mods to be playable online now.

Yuppers.

I added in Unclean Beast during the beta before he was officially a part of the game. It is not that difficult.

- Extract dgdata.zip to a folder called dgdata.

- Rename dgdata.zip to something else like dgdata2.zip.

- Rename the folder from dgdata to dgdata.zip

Now just edit the files in that folder. New files will not be seen until you close the game and reload it, but altered files will be updated if you just restart a match with ctrl-F10 in singleplayer.

I don't think that information is stored in the LUA scripts.  Maybe...  It would be nice if we could run in debug mode to know the coordinates of places among the map.

in the MAP_save.lua

There should be large blocks of ugbdefense01 and ugbefense02 tied to war rank 1, since most towers are created at the start. You can add new towers by just adding more entries

eg:

                                    ['UNIT_380'] = {
                                        type = 'ugbdefense01',
                                        orders = '',
                                        platoon = '',
                                        Position = { 236.500000, 100.000000, 302.500000 },
                                        Orientation = { 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000 },
                                    },

line 5500 in MAP05_save.lua.

I added more by counting the # of UNIT_ instances in the file and making my unit number the next one. I don't know if uniqueness is necessary, though.

Only rectangles are going to work for that since the functions that call upon the areas will be expecting a rectangle. If you end up needing a circle from the center of an area, you can put that into your script separately.

Now just for fun:

that was amazing... i would love ot know how u did all that (a lot of script writing i'm guessing)  if u have some time u should definately demo how u got all that to work. i can't even get models into the let alone change attack and spells.

Awesome job!

Thanks Once we get the official modding support, I am planning to release a series of videos on things such as:

- An overview of how modding works and what can/cannot be added and changed.

- Creating maps

- Creating character models

- Creating textures

- Creating projectiles

- Editing the UI

Things like that.
