The funniest thing in Dominions 2

Yhan Yhan · #1 February 9th, 2004, 11:39 PM

Well, I being a simple programmer and kinda a hacker i was tempted to make Dominions 2 more fun. So what I did was make it so all of the objects in the game would randomize itslef and go put random inmages from your pc into the game. Have you ever seen 100's of rubber duckies flying across the screen whenever any ranged unit fires? That is friggin funny. The maps looked pretty strange too. I would have the code for free, but I like it too much. If you guys direct me to a program that can take screenshots of the game I can send you many pictures of this. It does not effect the outcome of things, it just, makes them look pretty odd.

There is a catch to this code. You must have someone instant message you while you are playing the game for this to work. And you must respond at least once to ensure that the code was activated.

IF you really want the code, too bad. I love it waa too much to give it away to anyone.

This "mod" works on the demo, I am not sure about the full Version becasue I still don't have it.

Have you done any "funny" things to your Dominions 2? If so, post them, so every one can get some laughs.

Man watchin random pictures flying around sure in fun to watch.

My freind named "Cameron" made the codes, i just took the credit.

IM-borne routines sounds like a bizarre way to implement code.

You should get your friend named "Cameron" to make something useful, like a routine that pulls the sprite images from the game.

Maybe its easier to just trip on some 'shrooms and then fire up Dom? Or watch TellyTubbies or that new forked up show for tots...

I dunno, IM activated code... I guess if you take enough hits off it

My routines are alittle more simple, and in-game. They randomize things involved with the map. If you download "Poke in the Eye" http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion...2/Poke_Eye.map it uses the eye.map but changes the game. It randomizes alliances between the AIs, it scatters castles/labs/temples all over the map, and it gives a random commander with ranom equipment, bodyguards and troops in each province. This includes your own so you will start with an extra commander and army. They are selected from EVERYTHING in the game so you might get dragons, doom horrors, or even an army of titans. But then you might also find that the province next to you is guarded by a monolith with 10 wyrm bodyguards.
The Poke_Eye.map is automatically re-randomized every day.

His prog will most likely get an Users pc infested with some worm etc. :
Seems to me he's either looking for IM accounts or uses security holes in IM clients to get access to PCs which are Online.

smells more of an hoax (to be kind) than of anything else. A code activated by IM'ing... come'on, why not activated by giving your credit card number?

and if you are (or your friend) as talented as you pretend, then you should be able to use the printscreen key to show us your prowess...

Now the funniest thing I had in dominion was when a just-bought scout (still on defend) repelled by himself a barbarian invasion event*. Well perhaps not the most funny, but kinda impressive I would say

As it was in dom1, I renamed it with a nice name, and he even got some items just for him (eye of aiming, boots of quickness, staff of corrosion).

* : as soon as 2 barbs were wounded, the whole hord routed...

I didn't want to say it out loud, since I couldn't find a mention of money in the message, but it does smell funny.
If you really want strange picture in dom2, there is always the trick of launching it full screen in Windows, then using Alt-Enter, Alt-Tab or Alt-Esc to minimize it, doing something else, then coming back, it works quite well

Only the one that works with all the programs if you have Windows. Hit the "Print Screen" button on the right side of your keyboard. Open any paint program. Use the "edit" menu and hit "paste" or "paste from clipboard". Then save the image.
