Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 What do you mean by modding? This is MUCH more easier than Minecraft modding. So frikin' easy, I can modify Geneforge Scripts with my eyes closed. For short, it is possible. -------- -Scripts, Nightwatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 First? Bah. I am in my 1900's. Anywho, there are plenty of skilled modders out there. Apperently nightwatcher is one of them. There are a few more on our site though. Are you wishing how to know how to mod a Geneforge game? EDIT: WHAMO! 1900 POSTS! YEAH! EPIC WIN! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Alright, thats enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Doubleclick Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 In this case, all my searches have been useless. TIME TO FALSE ATTEMPT! EDIT: May i just add, why does everyone have super long signatures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Welcome, Doubleclick. The Geneforge games can be modded to a certain extent. Graphics can be switched around and scripts can be edited to do a variety of things: create items, give your character new stats, and so on. Anything within the game itself (terrain, creations you can make, etc.) cannot be edited. Any sort of modding is unsupported by Spiderweb Software and often buggy, so be sure to back up your files before you try anything. If you have any sort of experience with programming or modding of other games, you'll probably be able to understand Geneforge's scripts easily enough. If you don't have any experience, it's probably going to be hard to understand. The search feature is a bit hard to use. Make sure you are using the advanced search so you just adjust the dates you are searching for; the default time is just a few months and so hardly ever turns up anything of use, especially in an older game. Make sure you are searching in the other Geneforge forum as well; some of the information about modding other Geneforge games is also relevant to modding Geneforge 5. Dikiyoba suspects that certain members have long signatures because most people who are annoyed by long signatures decided to block their ability to see signatures altogether in their preferences.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I don't block signatures. I don't actually really like having one (so I'll go ahead and change it in a moment (goodbye, Dr. Horrible quote!)), but reading the posts of those people who have signatures longer than their actual post is doing wonders for filling out The List. Anyway, to be slightly useful, I'll add that the BoA docs are a good place to start funnily enough. A lot of the calls are the same and others (like the SDF ones) are easier to work out once you are familiar with Jeff's way of naming things. Worth a glance through, at least, especially if you've no scripting experience at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I've never tried script-modding. But you can memory-mod all of the Geneforge games (in real time, while they are running) and be able to shape up any creation you want (guards, rats, shapers, golems etc) which the game doesn't normally permit you to create. You can even transform yourself into a creation. --- I started off on this forum four years ago with G3 modding. And got dissapointed with the Geneforge modding community (because it doesn't exist). Note that I can only speak for Windows, but it is possible on a Mac also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Not just my gun. It's also my robe, but something horrible has been done to it! —Alorael, who can't even remember why he's wearing a robe or giving a subtle slasher smile. But since he now no longer has either Adobe Illustrator or the Illustrator file he couldn't fix it even if he wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote: or giving a subtle slasher smile. Why would you ever want any other expression? If Dikiyoba could pull off a good slasher smile, Dikiyoba would wear it all the time.

Kyshakk Koan Lauren CW Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 In other news, Trent's avatar is actually what I had been using for my Facebook Default up until just recently, when I swapped it for a photo of me in my zombie-walk makeup.

I see no hat in your Avatar Just as we don't suspect you're actually a floating, sentient handshake in real life, Dikiyoba's avatar is not a true reflection of Dikiyoba in real life.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Right, but the previous discussion had been about what Alorael's avatar was wearing. Speaking of which, I think the hat thing came up because the weird-colored version of Alorael's avatar had the hood colored differently, and because of where it was cut off, it looked like a hat.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Huh. I guess I read it the same way as Dikiyoba; everybody *was* talking about about Alorael's avatar, and what *that* was wearing, but it switched to Dikiyoba not being able to pull off a slasher smile (like Alo's avatar) because it clashed with Dikiyoba's hat. Then there was some confusion when James said that he wasn't aware Diki wore a hat (because Alo said "that's not a hat, it's a hood" thinking James was talking to HIM), and that there wasn't one in Diki's avatar anyway, and *THAT* was what I was responding too. James talking about the hat that Diki said Diki wore, but that wasn't in Diki's avatar. Sheesh. Lets all just stop talking about avatars.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yeah, I am doing a series of avatars based on puns of Pokemon and member's names. So, I'm getting a Pokemon, sticking a users name into it, and making an avatar based off that. I'm trying to do it daily, but I've had problems with that over this weekend, since my avatar images are on my computer and I've had limited access to that. I am a fairly normal lookin person in real life, I'm sorry to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
