hey a few questions before i start messing about with modding

from Demigod Forums

heyja all.

played the game for the last 5 days or so, came to the conclusion that its a very good game in means of idea (taken from DOTA no less :P ) and easy to approach too. but then came what ya'll have noticed, AI stopslaying at a certain level, AI not a real challenge, and well, to be honest theres some more things i'd like to fix, like wave size and stuff. yesterday playe around with it a little. fun results but need to start balancing it a little :)

 

 

so my questions are about what you guys have noticed about if these things can be modded or not and how (aka. which file, if you allready know theres no sence in me looking for it too long :P)

 

- skills (ok so ive read about people changing the skills for a character, in means make it do more damage or something on those lines. but is it possible to add a new level of skills ? what i mean by that is say TB has 3 levels of fire aura (?), have you noticed is it possible to add another level there ?)

-AI (so as we know it stops playing in the midst of 20-25 levels. depending on character and DA even goes on up till 50 (or i got it to do that anyway), so any idea which part of the code is doing this? possible to change it? or well obviously its possible to change it but knowing where the shrapnel of code doing this is would make it easier :P)

so primarily im looking into balancing generals in higher level games, as the assasins keep getting strenght boosts after they got all their skills making them better to play with. making the game a little more carnage-like :P

not really sure what your asking, could you be more definite?

note that all the changes you indicated are present in current mods around the forums. have a look around at what has been done :)

Ah the joys of a syntactic- and punctuation-light society.

As Exxcentric stated it is not very clear what you are trying to ask. However, assuming that my understanding of your questions are correct, then the answer is yes. All of the issues you inquired about are modifiable. Also, as suggested by Exxcentric, your best place to start would be to read everything in the modding forum. You should probably take notes about which posts were informative. Many of the more difficult ones will take time to understand, but modding Demigod is relatively easy; don't get up hope.

If you have further questions feel free to ask.

Coulda sworn I replied to this... for the AI, check out what's already been done in the modding section - look for the skirmish ai mod.  It does quite a bit to make the ai better.
