Itty Bitty Troll question
« on: March 29, 2008, 02:39:00 am »

The question is small, not the troll.

How would I go about making a troll adventurer?

Apparently simply pasting "[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]" into creature_standard.txt doesn't do it.

keep in mind that I have no previous modding experience.

INDIV_CONTROLLABLE is an entity token. The thing to understand is that those tokens/tags are specific to each type of file. Entities are entities, creatures are creatures, metals are metals, et cetera. There's very little overlap, even if the format stays the same.

What you'll need to do is create a new entity; your troll civilisation, basically. This.. may or may not mess up goblin sieges, I don't know, it might require some other tweaks. Check out the modding sections of the wiki, play around with editing the file, pay attention to your errorlog.txt file in the main directory, see what kinda trouble you can get into. ;)

Due to complaints from various affirmative action groups, the next version will see all races being given the exact same stats.  The ability to change this through mods will have to be disabled.
