Wishlist: Modding shortlist

Extended Random Events.

The current random events are limited to 4. Rather than change the code, I'd like to extend it, and I'd like to make it user moddable.

The idea I envision is that these extended luck events are an additional luck event that would only occur after they become turn eligible, and only if provinces have been denied luck events due to the 4 cap.

(Actually, I'd prefer to change the whole mechanism, but this might be easier or a good first step).


I'd like random events to draw from a list (preferably text) like mercenaries do.

Something like the following format:

ScaleMask: ABCDEF Where each ABC... are numbers corresponding to scales.

Terrain Mask: Bit Map corresponding to required terrains.

CommanderSummon1: Commander Summoned.
CommanderSummon2: Ditto.
UnitSummon1: Unit number summoned.
UnitNumbers: How many to summon.
UnitSummon2:
UnitSummon3:

SpellCast: Spell number
SpellParam1:
SpellParam2:

ChangeScale: Mask to change scales. So for example 100000
would increase Turmoil 1.


CapitolEligible: Can this event occur on the capitol province.

TurnStart: What turn the event can occur on.
TurnEnd: What turn the event can no longer occur on.
EventMsg: Text to be displayed on players screen

TempleLabFort: 3 bit mask. 1 turns on, 0 turns off.

AddSite: Site Number.

#airbreath

Give a unit the ability to let water breathers breath on land.
Alternately it you could use a negative number with waterbreath


Also, it would be nice if all tags could be used on magic items and sites. Enter to gain water breathing, for example

But J/K and KO - I really think you have seen the enthusiasm of modders. If you opened up the primitives so others could extend with code.. .I think popularity would continue to cincrease as others cotiued to extend the game. So that would be my number 1 choice = )

I don't think there will be tags for all the effects there are, ever.

But I'd like to have a variable tag for effects on items and units. I know about pretty much all the effect IDs and what they do, and I'll document them so that modders can use them. That would instantly open up some really interesting opportunities for modding.

I'm having problems with effect 137.. I can't seem to make it entangle with aoe.

I'm not sure if we're talking with the same terminology here, but for me entangle like given by the Vine Shield is effect number 128, while 137 is used by items for assassination attempt. I didn't look into what the spells use yet.
