Making magic

Battle Brother Rob · 05-08-2002, 05:13 PM

Glancing through the forum today, I have found numerous threads about making new magic items for the game. How do you do this and does it require a high level of programming type skills? Any information would be greatly appreciated, although are there dangers of corrupting files and such invovled?

Oh no, it's quite easy, actually. Go to TeamBG, and search that place until you find a program called Infinity Engine Editor Pro. Download it, and it should be quite easy explained from there.

isn't that kinda cheating ? If it's a stupid question, please forgive me.

Sir Exxon · 05-08-2002, 05:48 PM

Well, yeah, you can call it cheating, if you make overpowered weapons. But if ya just make regular ones, I wouldnt call it cheating, rather editing or tweaking.

let have an example here. this game offers very little in the way of magical scimitars. say for instance i love scimitars and want to give one the special abilities of say celestial fury instead of using the katana, now is that really cheating, in my opinion NO, but i guess its a personal decision

i generally use IEEP for fun purposes and bugfixing. for instance, there is at least a +4 weapon for each proficiency type in ToB, except darts. so i made the Dart of Cyric, a cross between the Asp's Nest and Crimson Dart, and it's +5 and does fire damage.

Or, i fixed the Cloak of Non-Detection so it actually makes the user totally non-detectable by all means, with the exception of dragons, Kuo-Toa, demons, etc.

for cheating, just use the CLUAConsole. it's soooo much easier. It, too, should only be used for timesaving purposes. (i.e. i have rolled a 96 before, so i can justify using Ctrl-8 to give my people 96 stats, lowering the 18/00 to a much more reasonable level, however. If, at some point, i roll a 97, i will increase the par for characters to 97, and add an additional point to Charisma. that's not really cheating, just saving a few hours of time.)

Cheers for the advice, i will check it out. I don't consider this to be cheating, as if I make any new items, they will be friendly normal items(i am not a powergamer). Personally, I won't even consider cheating at a game unless I have played through about 5 or 6 times, but each to their own. Thanks everyone.

yeah i saw this post and tried to download this last night but there were too many hits on it so they limited the number of downlaods on it a day to save bandwidth, but i was able to download it this morning so im going to check it out tonight. i also downloaded a creature editor, let me know if you folks have used that before, and how it is if anyone who reads this gets a chance [img]smile.gif[/img]
