Newbie Mod Questions


Deciduous

Recommended Posts

I'm starting to muck around with the mod tools and have some questions.

  1. Is there a collection of player mods anywhere? If I ever get my efforts into a decent shape, will I be able to circulate them?
  2. I'm planning on expanding the Research (action). I've seen MaskedHuzzah's efforts -- are there any easy ways to Expand a random or informed Research Topic? How about a random, circumscribed research topic (ex. any Astrology, Geometry, or Arithmetic topic)? I think I could do the later with Reference tables, but there may be an easier way.

 

Wish me luck.

.amm is an unpublished mod file, you need to publish it first.

Monsters are indeed a mechanic that ended up on the cutting room floor, same as the Rimbal game. Though at least one monster ended up making a cameo appearance in a location adventure, so...close enough.

Now I'm getting the long publishing time other folks talked about. Progress.

Thanks for the Monster info. Has anyone tried staging a modded Duel with one? (Which adventure? Did it do anything or just be a bit of text?)

Now, a forum UI question -- how can I step in and out of a quote. I wanted my first line to go after Metis' first line, my second after his second, etc. That shouldn't be hard to do.

What would the function of a monster be? Would it be part of a battling system, akin to dueling? Because right now there are various creatures in the text adventures.

Basically a fight of some sort. The monsters, their attacks and the descriptions for both still exist in the mod tools, so you can get a decent idea of how things would have gone down.

Yeah, don't be surprised if it takes over 6 hours to publish. It takes forever.

Can't do so, 'far as I know. Duels only work with students.

You need multiple quotes to do that. 'Been that way since before the update 'far as I recall.

Thanks. I shall tinker.

Ugh. Just as well it's time for dinner.

For such a fancy bit of forum, very inelegant. Thanks for the info.
