Arcanum Modding Tutorial (AMTUT)

AMTUT Questions:

1. How much AM would an AMTUT TUT if an AMTUT could TUT AM?

2. I've gotten through the lake, 3 buildings, and the lamp posts with light part of the tutorial (great job by the way). I have figured out "de-weeding" and getting rid of objects like beds and chests (the button with the "do not" symbol on it [circle with a line through it]). I am having trouble getting rid of a wall i placed out in space. I've tried the "do not" button, I've tried the "firecracker blast" button (from the Build tab, while CNTRL-clicking). According to the tutorial, I believe one of this should get rid of the wall. I also noticed neither was working on any of my roofs. I have 1.0.7.0 WorldEd. Help?

3. I compressed the file, and then deleted the folders with the same name. Worked fine in Arcanum. But when I went back to WorldEd, I couldn't load my "Village" map (it had no map choices under the "Open" command). When I tried it again without deleting the folders, everything seemed to work in Arcanum and WorldEd. Can I simply leave these folders intact, or am I setting myself up for catastrophic failure down the road?

 

1. Quite alot (i think ).

2. I'm not sure what you're doing wrong, but try ctrl - (/) ing. It can sometimes be hard to click the right spot.

3. I find that you don't need to compress each time. Just don't have a DAT and a folder!!!!!! (that's bad!). As for not seeing your map, go to File -> Save As (and unlock). That should do the trick!

where can i download all the arcanum dialogs and scripts that appear on the resources page in amtut.terra...?????

 

Use this:

http://www.terra-arcanum.com/downloads/ ... nun_v1.zip

to unpack arcanum dat files. You will can not only see all dig files but much much more.

 

Hooray! Thank you for your efforts. I'm thinking I need to dig-out Arcanum again and play it another time or two.

 

You were bored.
You woke up hours before work. Went to work and it took 1/4 the time expected. You went to the pub and 12 beers took only 4 hours rather than 7 hours to drink. You managed to get home while sober and actually are doing the few things around the house you've promised to the wife for 4 years....
DarkUnderlord, you scare me....

 

Just wanted to post here that the AMTUT is still revelant today as I went through most of it and was able to get quite a bit of stuff done, so many thanks for this guide!!!

Anyway just wondering if there is still a possibility to get the documentation and complete list of the actions made possible in the dialogues (Like G: is for Greetings, T: for trading, and so on).

Also I'm missing the documentation for actions that can be made in scripts, like for example spells: - spells: cast spell 181 on triggerer - would there be somewhere the list of all the spells descriptions like 181 is to make a character drunk, but what are the effects of the 180 spells prior to that ?



Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the forum, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
