CDDA Fantasy Mod[WIP]

Could be useful, yes. Though with the extensive amount of monster edits to make them drop essence, I was worried it might interact poorly with any other monster-editing mods.

The items hopefully shouldn’t interact oddly. One good result of my derping and using, for example, healing_potion as the ID for healing potion, when potion_healing would follow the norm for item IDs. XP

Do hate to double post, but finally got home (late dragon is late). Dropboxing the DF-style classes thing I mentioned, just in case it proves useful: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/89427928/fantasy.zip

very nice, i looked through it and even though im not currently at the stage where the mod actually becomes playable and i people can make use of those things, it might become useful in the near future once ive created all of the custom terrain and structures that i need. thanks!

Random_dragon · 2015-09-05T19:21:35.000Z

Ah, have fun with that. Terrain additions are always guaranteed to add a dose of annoyance to any modding. <3

pleased to announce the very first working alpha of the mod. do not get your hopes up. at all. the only thing that this does is adds two new monsters, the elves and the goblins, to the forest biomes. nothing else. it’s simply a proof of concept and a landmark for myself, but i feel like i should update the thread anyway. it’s in the downloads spoiler

Dima · 2015-09-09T05:38:43.000Z

version a1.1 is out! added:
-orcs
-items for said orcs
-an elf house which correctly spawns in-game. expect a lot more of these soon!

that’s it, really. still learning the ropes updatating the OP with a new download link.

Random_dragon · 2015-09-09T05:46:26.000Z

Ah, neat. Meanwhile I’ve got part 1 of the arcana mod PR’d. owo

Dima · 2015-09-09T05:48:13.000Z

nice! can’t wait

I checked this out, if you replace the “use_action” data on the boots in items.json with:

       "use_action" : {
            "type": "holster",
             "holster_prompt": "Sheath knife",
             "holster_msg": "You sheath your %s",
             "multi": 2,
             "max_volume": 1,
             "draw_cost": 80,
             "flags": ["SHEATH_KNIFE"]
        }

it works just fine with experimental 4060

Epic necropost.

Why do I still have thast dropvbox’d anyway? It seems like this project is dead by now. ;w;

Malkeus · 2015-12-19T01:20:59.000Z

I’m using the fantasy mod right now and have been for quite awhile, I didn;t notice your contribution there til today though. Goblins are good eating, and they are fast sneaky bastards who attack in groups too. I’ve died idk how many times to swarms of green "G"s. Orcs are like mini-hulks and elves are useless twats derping around in the woods. They are all delicious.

Random_dragon · 2015-12-19T01:34:12.000Z

Ah, interesting.

That reminds me, the documentation for the game has an “example mod” that spawns elves over time. I wish I knew how to un-defunct it…

[quote=“Random_dragon, post:17, topic:10466”]Ah, interesting.

Ah, that one was easy The data.json has an entry for the ‘elf’ monster in it, which is missing the default_faction data entry. Adding [ “default_faction”:“zombie”, ] below “species”:“ZOMBIE”, will let it load without error. I waited a day and the lua code seems to have executed properly as well. Haven’t found an elf yet though.

Random_dragon · 2015-12-19T02:10:04.000Z

Ah, how odd. PR the fix then? o3o

Malkeus · 2015-12-19T02:13:20.000Z

hmm, guess i can do that. I’ll see if I can’t find one of these elves first though

Random_dragon · 2015-12-19T02:14:16.000Z

Aye. Because I tried it some time ago and the LUA spat out an error at the point it was supposed to spawn an elf.

Malkeus · 2015-12-19T02:34:07.000Z

I’ve started a new thread for this here -> http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=11837.0

Malkeus · 2016-01-13T01:48:00.000Z

Are there any objections if I coopt this mod’s content for a forgotten realms style monster mod? I’m thinking elves and orcs for the forests, trolls and goblins in the swamps, drow, kobolds and ogres in the caves and mines. I’ll give them appropriate weapons and armor as well, maybe have a player scenario…this has gotten my interest, I’m way more interested in this than my fruitless pursuit of better npcs and grabbable items, for the moment. Chezzo has made noises about adding graphics for elves orcs and goblins from this mod, also.

Noctifer · 2016-01-13T02:09:35.000Z

Seems fair, just link this as the source of this mod I suppose and it should be all good.

Dima · 2016-04-03T05:15:38.000Z

version a1.2 is out!
added:
-demons and demon horns (later this will become a crafting component of a few items.)
changed:
-disabled elf houses for now. i’m a terrible architect. probably wont do many more of these, unless someone who knows what they’re doing wants to assist me.
-fixed elf aggression
-fixed orc speed
download here https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ypimyjd3cc2wea/Fantasy_Factions_a1.2.zip?dl=1
will update OP with this info.

sorry about the tiny update and for not modding for so long. kinda gave up on this but recently found some inspiration to keep going.
