this is great, Ive been wanting to make a quest mod myself, I have the Script (story, not code) just needa know how to add new races, new enemies, scripted boss fights, and new locations. seems were getting closer!
Adding equipment means the items an Enemy can be wearing when encountered. In other words, is a list of stuff that a certain enemy has access to and the game picks one from each category at random. Right now Item addition is something I have not checked, BUT will be checking soon. I just finished going through the whole Pony Race Mod and figured out how the heck you add new races, which let's be 100% transparent, should be fairly straight forward but I have yet to code it, so I won't be jumping the gun for now and saying it's "Easy".
In terms of New Items, AFAIK, normal items are stored in a database, that includes armor, accessories and weapons too, so I SHOULD be able to do it pretty much the same way I'm doing it now with other stuff... BUT, and it is an even bigger but that caps give it credit: Armor, accessories, weapons and potions have special effects, that are linked to other scripts outside of the item database, so implementing them PROPERLY is going to require some digging around in the code.
Aric Triton probably knows more about the item and gear system of the game right now.
[...] hopefully someone will at some stage figure out a template for users to add their own quest-lines, items and unique recruit-able character.
You can already add items and equipment sets, for Custom characters I'm pretty sure I can figure that one out fairly quickly, I've seen the codes many times while going through other stuff. For quests I need to look into the quests/side-quests/repeatable to figure how it ACTUALLY works, but that is one of my end-term goals too. Afterall, figuring out implementation is the hardest part, otherwise is just adding a new entry to the "Quest" "Sidequest" "Repeatable Quest" Databases respectively. The advantage of Strive being a test driven game.
Sorry I didn't make myself clear with my post. What I meant was for someone to either create a template file, or an utility tool for code idiot like me to add things I want to add into the game (unique recruit-able characters, quest attached to recruit them, and unique equipment for some cosplay purpose).
I'm already kind of making cosplay character with Strive's starting servant. Would love the ability to make multiple unique characters from other franchises and even make a short story about how they ended up in Strive's world. Or failing that, an import/export character utility similar to Lilith's Throne so I can buy some specifically created cosplay characters from slave market. I know there's technically save edit, but it's a bit of a hassle without a specifically designed utility tool.
All files need to be unzipped for the game to use them. Zip archives are just used for ease of transfer.
Beware, unless you have an older version of Strive, it probably won't work with a mod like this that doesn't appear to have been updated recently.
Edit: You place the mod's folder in the game's mod folder, which you can access through the in-game mod window.
Yes, it will conflict due to the mod system not supporting multiple mods editing the same files. Though you may be able to get around that by replacing ".../scripts/mods/modpanel.gd" with a copy from the most recent version. Assuming that works, so long as AricsExpansion was applied second it may work. There are some seemingly minor conflicts, but you would need to try to find out. And I'm not certain which version of the game MAD was last updated for.
Your question is unclear and you are asking it in the thread for an outdated mod, which will crash your game if applied to any recent versions of the game. If you are trying to use this mod for the current version of the game, then stop and find some other mod.
If your question is not related to this mod, then please start a new thread or use a relevant one. The game should open with 2 windows when playing on Windows: the first is the game and the second will list error messages. Use the forum's search function to look for parts of the error text, and be sure to search the "Topics and Replies" not just the "Topics".
