No Spells Mod

[Foodstamp]

Here is the latest version of this mod that I made per the conversation below. This mod should eliminate all the existing spells in Dominions as of 3.23. Only the Neutrals will be able to cast spells. Hopefully this will be useful for total conversion projects etc.

I have seen mods that limit the level of spells that are in the game. I am curious if anyone has created a mod that eliminates ALL spells from the game. This type of mod would be great to use with total conversion mods. If anyone has created this please share it with the rest of us http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

awk 'BEGIN{for (i=1;i<=797;i++){print "#selectspell " i; print "school -1"; print "END";}' > NoSpells.dm

Note that this will not disable items, and will not *actually* disable inherent spells (so if you somehow got a Goat Sun he would still cast Heat from Hell, you just couldn't research it.)

Dr. P,

Thanks for the suggestion. I had forgotten spells could be invoked by number, not just name. After tweaking the code, I was able to get the result I wanted using gawk. Thanks for the great suggestion and the base code for the loop!

Attached is the final product with a banner to remind the player that the mod is active. This should be a useful module for players who wish to use it as a base for complete overhauls of the spell system.

For patch version 3.10, the # of spells goes up to 813.

Thanks for the heads up. I have not installed the new patch as of yet, but I will definitely get this mod updated as soon as I have a free moment or two.

Finally updated this 3 year old mod! I hope someone finds it useful.
