Do you think a Mod with a large magic system will be accepted?

[sjmind]

In fact, I'm making a mod which is made for testing all new functions.
However, I created something interesting and I am rewriting it into a magic system.

It'll have these functions:
1.Lots of kinds of magic -- Attack, defence, curse, and something else
2.The State of reading spells -- A circle of light will appear around you to show you are reading a spell
3.The magic track -- Maybe it's called like that. You can see how the magic follows and hits the object.
4.AI can use magic too
5.The equips will increase the power of your magic.
6.You will launch the magic by keyboard -- I mean you will input the spell by keyboard
(I hope I make myself understood)

If most people like this idea, I'll continue.
Or I'll abandon it.

If you have the skills needed for such mod, then go on with it. I would love to test it, at least when I get a new computer. My current pc would probably crash with it.

It will be great, but I somehow doubt it that M&B can be modified in that way. As for my MOD, I have the intention of adding one magic item (magic staff), by switchiing any of the crossbows, changing his moddel, making his acuracy and dmg very high, and his speed rate very low and then making special bolts for that crossbow, only 5 per quilver (The thing where the arrows/bolts stay, if I have written it wrong). But if you can create and import into the M&B system a real spells, the MOd, which includes them will become one of my favourite ones.

It is acepted has any other mods.
just need to be well made.
I think your mod will be good.

Dont like the idea.  Let it go.

Diagreed, I would say go for it!  And prehap, this would inspirit modders and give them some of idea about implementing an extra features to their mods, especially The Last Day mod (Lord of the Ring based mega mod done by Aincientwanker) based on your creative way of coding mount and blade mod.  So go for it!




Eagle out...

In my experience doing what you want to do is going to be incredibly hard and scripting-intensive, doing it for AI would be doubly so. Go for it, if you're interested in doing it, at least for yourself if not for others.

 

[Cymro]

An older version of a "magic" system was replacing firearms with "spells" that had different effects. Even the AI could do most magic then (ie, RPG mod, Hero&Blade).

This newer idea for a system could be done qutie easily, I suppose, now that death via triggers is implemented. You'd just need to add a few fancy effects here and there to make it look more acceptable. As for using the keyboard, that's now possible for the player, but more than likely impossible for the AI (unless you made them randomly cast spells, possibly with the effect of them healing you and cursing their friends ).

If you have the scripting skills, go for it. It would be interesting to see what modders can come up with

 

[Sunhawken]

Sounds like a lot of work.

But if a mod is well made.

It will be accepted.

 

[Hellequin]

Of course it'll be accepted, but I'll second the warning that it will be a very, very large amount of work.

See the opened source code linked from here which includes a comparatively low-end 'magic' system, without a lot of ambitious effects involved.  Use as you like, btw.  Probably took me over 100 hours to write that part alone, involved major underlying modifications to the system which may have added up to another 50 hours... and I'm (if I may) considered very good at this.

Note to an above comment - the trouble with the "magic staff" concept is that all itp_bolts will always work in all itp_crossbows.  You'll need some kind of special script to literally remove inappropriate combos of staff/bolts or crossbow/spellcharges so that they won't end up being used together - or have the staff be the only "firearm" in the mod, with all the limitations that involves, but at least a different ammo type.

 

[rdstn]

Yes. I also thought of that and got to that desigion. Afcourse I'm not going to make getting the staff easy - a price of arround 15k or a special quest for it should make the trick. But will the magic MOD use any other weapons, and the magic will be available at the beggining or else? Or it's still a question if you're even making something like that and havent thought exactly.

 

[sjmind]

Actucally, I've done most parts of sub-systems. I'm regrouping all the sub-systems now.

Once we get new animations and stuff, I will make a mod of pwnage. It will make them go up in the air and fall, when they die.

Can't you do that now?  I think I remember yoshi saying you could now.
