I was wondering if it would be possible to make an editor (preferably at the normal rebel docks location) that could increase your skills in individual creatures or spells, like kyshakk or aura of flames. Then you could make drakons and such without canisters Posts: 19 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2007 07:00 |

From my experience with editing I believe it is possilbe to do either of those requests (though I personally cannot pull it off). Suggestions on how to get an editor to act like a canister, try finding and studying the canister scripts and determining what increases the stats. Then try to integrate it into an editor. A possible problem would be that you would increase the number of canisters you have used when using the editor to change your creation/spell stats. Also the easy way to get the high spells and creations would be to edit items. Much easier. Refer to the helpful links under scripting for lists of scripting stats.

Who cares if it increases canister usage? Just press shift-D, and type in "sdf 100 4 0" (minus the quotes). That will get rid of any canister usage affects.

quote:I recently updated my editor and it has an entry point in Crenshaws Dell (sign at far south s/w) that enables you to get all the creatures. I'll look at the spells later and maybe add them to another sign or NPC farther in the game. There is an upper limit on how high your line numbers can go so I doubt that even with renumbering all of them would allow for all these features at the Rebel Docks Sign. Besides, the best use to me for an editor is to move things along a bit on multiple replays of the game. Pro Shaper, Pro Rebel, or Pro Trakovite is one example. Plus there's lots of other fun things to do with different quests and perspectives that make this game very replayable anyhow. I'll look closer at the spells and such after the Holidays. Hope the new update answers at least part of your question. Micro Phage After thinking further about your question I believe that the 1st entry point of the Editor will let you boost your magic skills high enough to use the spells, but may need to look harder at specific ones. Will update soon. [ Saturday, January 05, 2008 10:18: Message edited by: Micro Phage ] -------------------- Aide: (tugging at General's pant leg from ground..) "Sir! Please get down!"

New link added to editor page: http://www.freewebs.com/microphage/gf4spoilerqa.htm This page link has a few "spoiler" answers to some things that were a bit tough to me. You can view the page without seeing the answers until you highlight them. Always looking for more ideas so PM me with Q&A's or post questions and anyone responding with a PM answer please CC to me and I'll add it to the page. Thanks! P.P.S. I ran across some special items called "Puresteel Rings" in some surprising locations. I didn't make notes of where so it would be great if someone could PM me with locations. As you probably noticed, a regular Puresteel Ring item doesn't work for the Quest "special items" puresteel rings. -------------------- Aide: (tugging at General's pant leg from ground..) "Sir!

One thing about those custom items is that if you make stuff too high it will go into the negatives. I know from experience that you can give +200 to any stat without anything wierd happening, but going much higher than that is probably not advised. Also, the damage weapons do is based on some level, which is not understandable at a glance, which makes making your weapon seem quite impossible to get. From my experiments it seems a weapon can only do about 30-250? without it going negative.

quote:OK, back from the Holidays. I'm thinking that 255 (or 256) may be the magic number. Also, am working on a God Mode type of character. It looks like it'll require a save game included to get past the tutorials. May just put it farther in the south map. I've done quite a bit of refining to the editor and it's better now. However, I've noticed a strange problem with trying to use the links in the 1st post of this thread. My browser (XP IE7) appears to go to the site, even has a tab, but comes right back to the link page. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated! My best work around is to go directley to the page and download from there. I've dedicated that page to Avernum and Geneforge 4 with Spiderweb the only links out. Copying and pasting don't help. I'm going to try to post the direct link in 2 ways and test that. Here goes: www.freewebs.com/microphage or www-freewebs-com/microphage and you'll have to change the 2 "-" to "." and until I get this figured out. It didn't do this before I went out of town. Maybe my computers still on Holiday! (grin) -------------------- Aide: (tugging at General's pant leg from ground..) "Sir! Please get down!" General: "What!?!

Well, I've been promising. Now it's GODMODE time! Check out new addition to GF4 Editor: GF4 GODMODE items. Entry point: Sign on right of Rebel docks. Once items equipped you are totally invulnerable. Have very high health, Spell and Essence energy. A "Rain of Fire Sword" that kills every enemy instantly with devastating fire. Just choose the enemy closest to you and all enemies in a large area around you die. No harm to you or any "friendlies" in range. Action Armor gives you 32 Action Points instead of 8! 50 plus to hit chance, 15 to stun resistance. Radically adds to various skills and effects. Custom charms include "Brain Boulder", "Mechanical Marvel" and "God Bod" which increase several stats. Brain Boulder combined with Mental Focus can total over 400 Intelligence points! It increases intelligence by 50 luck 50 and 30 to intelligence of creations. Mechanical Marvel increases 50 to Mechanical Skills, 20 Dexterity and 30 to intelligence of creations. God Bod increases Strength 50, Endurance 50 and 30 to intelligence of creations. This gives creations 90 plus! Also has some custom pods and gourds called Essence Energy Gourd and Essence Energy Pod (effect: 2600-7800) and Health Pod (effect: heal group 2600-15600) that when used sparingly will max out your new Health, Energy, and Essence levels. (Don't panic when Health, Energy and Essence seem to bottom out. You've lost NOTHING but GAINED an amazing higher limit to those stats. Use Pods/Gourds to balance out and fill.) They need to be experimented with for optimum results to accommodate different character levels you may add these abilities to. Just save your game first and have fun. Once maxed out the only stat that might change is Essence depending on how many creations you may or may not have or add. Overall Protection: 250% plus. Overall resistances: 125-400 plus. You have to try this to believe it! Tested with all levels, creatures, charms, etc. CLEAN! EDIT: Typo.

quote:Cool! Thanks for the inspiration! How does 400 plus Intelligence (saw around 800 with 2 Mental Focus charms which was experienced during testing. I think there is only 1 available normally in game). And 2,500-25,000 on an instant death large area effect weapon sound? The "Rain of Fire Sword" for my GODMODE weapon has killed about 20 enemies at once over a fairly large area and only needs to target any enemy in sight range to kill all enemies in a circle around you that extends beyond sight. Watch your world map (shift-d showmeall) to see the little red lights go out! (Enemies around corners, not line of sight and friendlies not affected.) Then go pick up the loot. I kept armor in the 250 plus range. Anything with over 100% protection is no more or less effective than 1000%. Still invulnerable. Some stats if changed too much will go negative on you. I kept adjusting various stats till New Game stats or Final Scene stats stayed balanced. Check it out... And thanks again for your input and ideas! -------------------- Aide: (tugging at General's pant leg from ground..) "Sir! Please get down!" General: "What!?!
