Demigod Modding

from Demigod Forums

For starters, there are two types of mods we have in mind initially.

The first type of mod can be classified as mods that you would like to see implemented into the base game. I.e. feature changes and such that you would like us to propose to GPG for inclusion into a future update.

Mods of that type should be classified with as much detail as possible (specific code changes, which file, etc.). 

The second type of mod can be classified as an alternative mod, that is a mod a user would load from the v1.2+ mod manager UI that changes the game from the default.

For those of you new to modding, welcome.  Demigod offers an unprecedented opportunity thanks to much of it being developed using LUA for maximum flexibility.  Through this means, Demigod can continue to evolve and grow through the future in ways most games can only dream.

Have fun!

Hey frogboy what about custom skins, and a tool ingame to import them?

 

You could even release skin packs as purchasable DLC, similar to what LoL is doing.

You can do this now with your own tools, just need to replace the current files with yours.

Any news on the granny issue for those hoping to import demigods and other such things?  Is granny needed for new maps?

from what i've found out this is a definate.  some sort of granny conversion will be needed.  like they said before it was a matter of offering a free developer tool of a $12500 prgrams o i think we're looking at a very basic exporter... probably for 3Ds or blender.

I am aware of what was said previosly, I want to know if there is any definitive plan on this.  Do they plan to convert them for us (mentioned before) or do they have a baked 3Dmax exporter for our use (haven't heard them talk about this before) or maybe some other plan?  The more we know the more people can do to prepare.

Hmmm, perhaps they will even make a Demigod mod where you can have a real base with resources like gold and wood and you'd have heros and could build an army and you could play with 4 different races like zombie creatures, wood fairies, green brutes and humans.

Heh.

I'm a modding n00b. What is an LUA, and how does it make modding easier?

Reply #13 from Demigod Forums Top

LUA is a programing language.
