Tenderfoot Thahd Samcast Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Been playing a bit of Geneforge 4 because i tend to enjoy it a little more the Geneforge 5. I made two mods which replace the pryo roamer with a guardian roamer while the other one gives you access to all creations. Geneforge 4 Mods any feedback would be nice, unless you all don't play it anymore xD Edited May 28, 2017 by Samcast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk TheKian Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Sorry, nobody plays Geneforge 4 anymore. I kid. I'd like to know whether you changed the... shall we say... explosive temper of the tier 2 roamer. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but is it not impossible to alter the amount of essence a creation costs? It's possible that it will end up being a somewhat overpowered creation for its essence cost. On a side note, you may want to make sure that you didn't mess up NPC pyroamers with this. I'm just saying, trying to protect the caravan at the end of chapter 1 from a horde of guardian roamers will be slightly difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Samcast Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Rip G4 no the essence should still be the same sadly, can't fix it I believe. The explosive nature of them still remains but only when they die and they have a good 150+HP iirc the caravan mission was unaffected by them, apparently they were "unstable roamers" not pyro so it was pretty easy to dispose of their low HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 So, in short, your mods work like a charm. Congratulations friend, and welcome to modding. Samcast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One file the G4itemschars contains a rework (not balanced after realizing to late) for the Pyro-Roamer into a guardian roamer The other file is z2upStronghold or something (sorry i forgot), this grants the user all creations at their basic level just for opening a door and entering. 3 points into all creations. I wanted this to be balanced but having end game creations doesn't really allow it. But still hopefully it makes a fun run through for people who want to try all creations at a balanced level (I believe) alhoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Sarath Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Does it work for geneforg 5 too. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Ess-Eschas Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hello Sarath, Mods like these work by changing data files for the game. These are unique to each game, so these mods will only work for Geneforge 4, I'm afraid. However, the games all use the same language in their data files, so it's possible to 'port' general mods like this from one game to other relatively easily by changing the code in the scripts. That might sound a little scary if you're not used to it, so I whipped up a quick port for you. These files should do the same things as Samcast's original mods, but for Geneforge 5. I hope you don't mind me making the ports, Samcast! You can download the ports here (and they'll be alive for a few months at this link): http://wikisend.com/download/935502/Samcast_Mods_Geneforge_5.zip If you want something more powerful than this, though, there is also a full-on editor mod for Geneforge 5.

Well-Actually War Trall alhoon Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Could the GF4 strategy central thread please be updated to include these mods? Or at least the "Trainer" one that gives all creations? And a suggestion for the trainer mod for GF4: Perhaps change the "here you get all creations" point from "opening a door" to ... using the Geneforge for the first time?

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 1. I have no clue what "trainer mod" you're talking about. 2. What exactly does the mod in this thread DO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
