An Idea or Two.....

[GeneralKong]

So guys, I was wondering about a couple of things and was wondering if these could be done:

1. replace the small skeleton that you get from the "Skeleton" Summon spell with the axe wielding normal sized one with the shield in the greyfell free game graveyard, and make it directly contollable

2. edit the summon blade spell to also be directly controlled

[rupuzioks]

I don't know yet if that's possible, but my guess is: it's impossible at least for me

[rupuzioks]

though to change summoned unit is very possible, I once created summon undead Rohen

[GeneralKong]

hmmmm i see, then maybe changing the raise dead spell instead would be better, since those can be controlled

[rupuzioks]

yes, that spell would be perfect for summoning controllable custom units

[GeneralKong]

in that case, how do you change what spells summon? I have some experiance with modding other games (including spellforce 2) so I can definantly learn how to do so for spellforce 1

[rupuzioks]

1. search for spell ID
2. search for effect ID
3. at effect ID identify that raise dead unit ID
4. change it to any other unit ID

[GeneralKong]

alright:

1. Where do I search for for the spell ID LUA?
4. where do I find the Unit ID's?

also, if it isnt a bother, can you give an example of what to line/section to edit in the Spell ID LUA?

[rupuzioks]

I just checked, there isin't any unit ID at effect ID, so I guess you need to change that unit directly

1276 Risen dead
1277 Risen dead
1278 Risen dead
1279 Risen dead
1280 Risen dead
1281 Risen dead

[GeneralKong]

is the Unit ID LUA in a packed file? which one?

also another question: since there are many levels of raise dead, do they all have to summon the same thing?

Like for instance: Raise Dead 6 will summon Skeleton Spearmen, 7 will summon Skeleton Bowman, 8 will summon Blade Minion etc

and finally, how do I replace units to look like other units, like changing human armsmen and marksman to look like wulfgar soldiers etc

sorry if I am getting annoying with the questions
