(Mod) Character Skill Points Reallocation Tome

[Jgwman]

So, I made a simple script mod in LoG 1 which added a tome which, when used, allowed you to respec your character (reallocate all skill points); but I made it really late. So I thought I'd go ahead and port it for LoG 2 so some modders can actually use it this time if they want

As far as we know, we still don't have a plugin system for LoG 2, where scripts can be added to affect all dungeons globally; so I have provided a small room with 4 tomes for non-modders to use for respeccing by importing the party into the dungeon (but clearly this has to be done between dungeons). I am hoping some of you guys might want to include it in your dungeons.

- None, at the moment (Thanks to Skuggasvein)

Hope this is useful to somebody. I'd like to hear feedback from anyone who messes with it

[Skuggasveinn]

just a thought, since Alchemy trait is called improved_alchemy have you tried to call improved_dual_wield to remove that trait ?

Skuggasveinn.

That was it, I can't believe I never thought of that Thanks a bunch! Updating now

Is it possible at all to mod in new items and items such as this into already existing games.
Or does everything have to be in a new dungeon/map or campaign?

I am trying to figure out if it is possible just to edit some attributes on items or the amount of exp bonus to a certain medallion etc. etc.
thanks for making this available.

Glad to do it. As I said in my original post, I think it must still be new maps only as in Grimrock 1; since the dungeons (campaign & mods) are .dat files and not raw files, the scripts cannot be edited, and there is no plugins system I am aware of. Not sure about this, and I hope the devs prove me wrong when they release the scripting reference, but for now, I would say it isn't possible.

[sapientCrow]

I would really love to just take a gander at the exp tables and other formula and make some minor tweaks.
That is more of my modding style.
thanks again

There is something kinda like a plugin system but its not for all dungeons if you make a .lua script you can import it through script_entities. You can change embedded to external and put the name of your script in but I mean the path like mod_assets/scripts/party_hooks.lua

[Jgwman]

Yes. I meant a system which would import the script globally.

[Drakkan]

I like this, thanks for tome script !

[Jgwman]

Glad it can be useful Drakkan!
