Title: Blacksmith
Post by: Millenium on May 05, 2009, 05:46:01 AM
I'm currently trying to design a skill for the mod, called the "Blacksmith" skill. It allows you to craft weapons and armor in the camp menu.

My question is, does anyone (pointing towards Darwin...) have any experience in coding the effect of the skill?

well, i don't know much about skills, where can i find them in the module_system?
but adding this smith function is a nice idea. maybe it could add attributs like well made but i think you shouldnt craete new weapons/armors or at least you need materials

So, I'm going to do it through module_game_menus. There isn't any info available for making skills, and that's the problem.

we maybe could make it depend on another skill(don't ask me which one)

We could have it affected by weapons master? Since a weapons master would be able to craft weapons  :p

How about a quest where a lord needs you get him a weapon, but it isn't sold so you have to make it yourself, so you go to Rhun

nice idea

Could have a place in towns called "The Forge" where you can go to learn to make weapons or to make them yourself, instead of in a camp menu, because whose gonna carry a full forge around with them.

mmh, a village, but i'm not experienced in dialogs :( you millenium?
Title: Blacksmith
Post by: The Red Baron on May 17, 2009, 03:46:53 PM
Not village, like you walk into Sargoth and you can
Go to the castle
take a walk around the streets
go to the areana
go to the marketplace
go to the forge

and you learn to make new weapons like in Magic World learning new spells.  You find someone to teach you, you do a quest for them, and then they teach you.  To make a weapon, you have to stay in the forge for a day or two and pay for supplies, which would be cheaper than buying the weapon, but you have to waste a couple days.  Perhaps Rhunon teaches you to make a riders sword that will never break or drop.

Is one of the reasons for the blacksmith option so you can make your own rider sword like Eragon made Brisingr?
Title: Blacksmith
Post by: Darwin on May 26, 2009, 01:58:02 PM
yup
Title: Blacksmith
Post by: Tintin on May 27, 2009, 05:39:57 PM
Cool. Do you get to design it like by picking different parts or do you get a set one?
Title: Blacksmith
Post by: Jubal on May 27, 2009, 05:56:10 PM
YOu would have to have an item entry for each different look fo sword, but you could do it as a select the parts thing from the user's POV.
