Race editing/adding

Is it possible to edit races and/or add more races? I don't find any of the races currently in the game suitable to fulfill my gaming needs..

 

You might be able to do it with some kinda Mod or with the Wolrd map edit, Im not sure.

I was always pleased with the variety in races that the game lets you have. I can't believe Elvs, Humans, Dwarvs, Half Elvs, Half Orcs, Half Ogres, Gnomes and Halflings isn't enough for you.

What race did you want exactly? Dragon people?

Welcome to the House of Lords by the way

 

thx for welcoming me :grin:

I don't really think there's too few races, it's just the advantages/disadvantages don't fit the kind of char I'd like to make.

 

And what type of character do you want to make? The more specific you are, the more people can give you :razz:

 

a fighter/tech that's not as dumb as an average bear, as ugly as a female version of Hulk Hogan or as charming as a rusty nail..

 

The species-specific effects are in effect.mes, same file as the background effects. Knock yerself out.

 

How does one find these files anyway....... just curious..... I'm just itching to F*&% up my game.

 

You need to extract the files from the *.dat files in your Arcanum directory. There are a couple of programs that let you do this. I use "Arcanun, the graphical undat utility". Be sure you have the latest Visual Basic library installed.

Thx, I'll get right on it

 

If female characters weren't limited to only half of those, it would be.

 

Yes.......Im not sure I'd like to see Dwarf or Ogre Women but certainly Halflings and Gnome females would be cool.

 

Heh, dwarven females would be fun, at least we would know if they have beards too :lol:

 

Then try the Sickly 1/2 Ogre. A little low in CN. Or the 1/2 Elf, Troll Offspring. With BE 5 & CH 4 he or she is only as ugly as a Smurf doll & as charming as an impeachement coordinator. And then there is Mad Doctor....
