feature requests

[SilentThief]

So once again I got to thinking about stuff I'd like to have the ability to do in DC (collective groan from the rest of the community ). This time its a short list.

The ability to use a filename lookup feature for artwork files. Specifically, Lets say I set up a combat that is a mirror match, as in you fight copies of your own character(s). I would like to take it to to the level of having the SAME icons as the player chooses at the beginning of the game. Currently, the only way to do this is to use premade characters thus forcing the icons.

I want the ability to change icons to different icons that are not of the same size. Say my mod has a wizard who would polymorph into a dragon in combat. Either thats a small dragon, or thats a big mage...

Well, currently thats all I can think of at the moment. I'd post these at sourceforge, but I've been unable to access Sourceforge for a while now... I dunno why.

How funny, I was just now posting a slough of feature requests at SF.

It's too bad you have such issues with SF, I mean it'll be a real pain when you're part of the development team.

I'll go ahead and add these for you.

Thanx

No problemo, dude.

I got to thinking about another feature request. How about a "Cast Spell Event". This would be set up the same as a Who Tries event, but would have a box where the mod designer could select a spell (or even better a list of spells) to cast. Then there could be a dice roll to simulate any difficulties like saving throws or magic resistance, and is resolved with a sucess or failure chain like the who tries event. The event should have an option to remove the spell at end of the event.

ps, we should have a separate request for a script for removing spell(s) from the spell book as well.

There are already requests for the spell removal script, two of them in fact. (Sometimes people don't check before submitting their requests.)

When I get home from school, I will try and put the request up for you.

[SilentThief]

oops, those are both prolly from me

ST

[manikus]

I don't think they're both from you, but I know one is.

Okay, I added the cast spell event request for you.

Thanx again
