Blank File

[89157Z]

Is it possible to create a mod from a blank file? What minimum of items are necessary for the game to load a file correctly?

It is possible to create a Mod from a completely blank AMO, but in this case...you may as well just make a new AMO.

 

The game requires several things- a University, Colleges, at least 6 Classes, I believe. Beyond that, the game will start and run.

I might still create a 'testmod' which is designed to be nearly empty, just to see how the game behaves under certain conditions. Though right now, I think my first effort is going to be turned towards changing how familiars are handled at character creation. Here's a feature request for the mod tools: 'copy entry'. Copying an entry would create another one just like it, but with a different name. This would save some of the tedium of duplicating prerequisites and other entries when you're doing a batch job like changing all the familiars.

We'd love that feature ourselves.

 

I doubt we'll make any changes to the Year 1 Tools, but...the Year 2 ones will definitely have a copy/paste feature.

In the meanwhile, I just get to drudge through my current project of expanding the Familiar Choices to include all the exotics.

 

They're going to have prerequisite lists a mile long! Just to keep it so you can only select one familiar at a time, I mean.
