Clouds Of Xeen Game Editor Modules
Modules #1-#7 by D.Melanson
Based on U.G.E. 1.0 by Hartman Utilities
HOW TO USE THE CLOUDS OF XEEN MODULES:
(Using UGE...Thanks VERY Much to Mr. Hartman!)
1.> Load up the "modifier" you want There are seven modules:
a.) Character Basics (Name, Stats, Level, XP, HP, SP, Condition)
b.) Character Skills and Resists (Skills, Guild Members, Resistance)
c.) Weapons (Attributes & Types for all 9 weapon slots)
d.) Armor (Attributes & Types for all 9 armor slots)
e.) Accessories (Attributes & Types for all 9 accessory slots)
f.) Miscellaneous (Attributes, Types, Charges for all Misc slots)
g.) Party Info (Location, Time, Money, Gems, Food)
(Note: Doubtless the casual user will yelp, "WHY SO MANY MODULES?" Yes,
normally UGE's modules don't need to be QUITE so spread out. However,
Clouds of Xeen's Saved Game format is a little weird in that it not only
saves info on all present party members, but on 24 other "slots" which
are available for creation in any tavern! Not only that, but it is
unlikely that your six party members will actually occupy slots 1-6;
therefore, it became necessary to make variables for ALL 30 SLOTS! Anyone
who's played with UGE before knows what this means to a game with THIS many
variables!)
2.> Modify your saved game (default is "XEEN01.SAV," choose M from the games
list to change which saved game to change around) with whatever changes you
need to make. Then exit UGE & run Xeen again...your changes should be in
effect if you restore the game you modified! That's all there is to it!
(WARNING: THIS DOES HAVE LIMITS. As you can't save a game IN combat, you
can't make sudden changes if you're caught in a combat in which you're
clearly in a lot of trouble. Try running away...if you do that successfully,
you can turn the tables pretty easily...EVEN IF ANY OF YOUR CHARACTERS GETS
KILLED OR ERADICATED IN THE PROCESS OF RUNNING AWAY!! ) So as long as
ONE character is still alive, plenty of changes can be made!)
HOW TO USE EACH INDIVIDUAL MODULE:
MODULE 1: CHARACTER BASICS:
Search through the 30 "slots" until you find the name of the
character you want to modify. Yes, you can change names, too...up to 10
letters. I did NOT allow class/race changes, due to the way that'd screw
up a lot of other things. Listed in the changable things are each
characters' Ability Scores (Mgt, Int, Per, End, Spd, Acc, Lck)...each of
these can be set at least over 200. I haven't found the range where it'll
crap out yet, but I know it does eventually, so be careful. Also, you have
the character's Level; you can set this up to 255, although I don't know
if the game'll crap out if you go that high. I know I've put it up over
100 before, though. Level adjusts XP automatically, but if you prefer to
take the training route, you can adjust XP to well over 2,000,000,000...
provided you can find somewhere to train. As the highest level you can
train to in Clouds is 20th, I'm not sure that's such a good idea. The
levels for HP and SP are "Current" levels; these do NOT affect your normal
"maximum," rather just what you have "now" in the game. "Maximum" levels
are set by the game through an interpretation of the Level stat.
The remaining features for each slot are possible problems you could
run across in the game, and ways to fix them. For example "Unnat. Age" is
the number of years of UNNATURAL aging your character has suffered (whether
hit by an Undead or affected by a special item or even casting a Divine
Intervention spell). Set this to 0 and all unnatural aging disappears! Same
with most of the others...the number shown is the "minus" your character
suffers as a result of his or her condition. Set each to 0 to eliminate the
condition. And yes, there are flags to remove Unconscious, Dead, Stoned
(no, not drugged out, TURNED TO STONE!), and even Eradicated! Talk about
a savings on Temple expenses...you know how much it costs to revive an
Eradicated 100th level character?
MODULE 2: CHARACTER SKILLS AND RESISTS:
With this module, you can set the flags that determine whether or
not your character has certain skills, as well as the level your character
has of certain resistances. Setting any of the "Skill" (Arms Master, etc)
values to 1 enables your character to use the skill! And yes, that means
you can have a Paladin with Thievery! (Weird concept, but neat). By the
way, Thievery is based on class and level, so you can't change your Thievery
SCORE without changing your level. Ability, yes. Score, no.
For the most part, I did NOT include Awards; you miss out on a lot
of the game if you don't go get 'em yourself. The only one I DID include is
the one BAD one..."Convicted Thief." If you're dumb enough to let a
character WITHOUT Thievery skill try to steal from the Blacksmith's display
cases, setting this value back to 0 will erase the "black mark" on your
record. Now if only real life were like that. Too bad you still lost a
year in jail, but, hey, you earned it! The other awards I included are the
memberships in the Guilds in the six towns (Vertigo, Nightshadow, Rivercity,
Asp, Winterkill, and Shangri-La). As all of these but Shangri-la cost money,
it's just a little time saver for the smart spell shopper.
The remaining spots are your resistances to Fire, Cold, Electricity,
Poison, Energy, and Magic. Near as I can figure, these directly subtract
their values from any damage of the appropriate type you take from certain
attacks or hostile environments. They can also be set pretty high, at least
well over 50, but I haven't figured out the absolute maximum yet.
MODULE 3: WEAPONS:
Once again, just jump to any character you want to modify. Your
equipment list can hold up to 9 "weapon" items. Pick a slot, and choose
whatever you want. Going into the Dragon Cave? Gee, an Obsidian Long Bow
and Great Axe, both with Dragon Slayer capabilities, would come in PRETTY
HANDY, now, wouldn't they?
Each "Weapon" slot has three fields you can modify...Attributes
(Attr.), Weapon Type (Type), and Other. Choose the number that corresponds
to each of what you want. Weapon Types are listed below in Table 1.
Attributes are listed below in Table 5. Other factors are listed below in
Table 6.
MODULE 4: ARMOR:
Exactly the same as Weapons, except...it modifies the armor slots,
and you CANNOT use the "1-6" options for additional abilities for the
armor piece; they can ONLY be used for repairing Cursed or Broken items.
Armor types are listed below in Table 2.
MODULE 5: ACCESSORIES:
Yep. Exactly the same as Armor, except...it modifies the Accessory
slots. Accessory types are listed below in Table 3.
MODULE 6: MISCELLANEOUS:
A little different this time. Once again, this modifies the slots
for Miscellaneous equipment. This time, howver, the first number is the
equipment TYPE, the second is the ABILITY, and the third is "Other." Once
again, if Other is set from 64 to 127, it's "cursed," and if it's set from
128+, it's "broken." Settings from 0 to 63 indicate the CHARGES the
particular item holds. Miscellaneous types are listed below in Table 5.
A list of available "powers" is contained in Table 7.
MODULE 7: PARTY INFORMATION:
This is the "leftovers," or the stuff that applies to the entire
party, rather than just one particular member. Strangely enough, these are
some of the most popular things to change!
The first three items, X Coordinate, Y Coordinate, and Location,
are the three variables that determine where you are on the World of Xeen
map. The "location" variable can be set anywhere from 1 to 85; the values
for these locations are shown in Table 8. X and Y are the "x=" and "y="
coordinates shown when you pull up the map function from the regular party
interface menu. Note: Please be careful when using this function. If you
aren't careful, you might wind up teleporting yourself into the Void, or
into a wall. Either or these is NOT good for the program, nor for your
character's continued existances. I recommend you make some maps before
using this feature TOO much, especially when teleporting into relatively
dangerous areas like the Volcano and Dragon Caves.
Food is the number of pieces of food you have on you. Divide this
by the number of conscious party members for each meal, and you can figure
out how many days the party can go on it. Values shouldn't be set much over
1000; the program tends to crap out when you go a bit higher than that.
Gold In Party, Gold In Bank, Gems In Party, Gems In Bank-Exactly
what each says. Recommend you put a good amount in the bank; interest is a
wonderful thing. You can plug in numbers up over a billion in each without
a problem, but I'm not sure if there is an upper limit. And no, I don't
know how six people lug around a billion gold pieces, but they do. Maybe
they have a portable hole (sorry, old AD&D reference).
Finally, a truly bizarre feature called "Minutes Past Midnight."
This affects time of day. Now, of course, some will ask, "WHY?" Easy.
Let's say you're at Nightshadow, in front of the Count's coffin. It only
can be opened at midnight. It's only 8:30 a.m., and you REALLY don't want
to hang around here forever. Well, save your game, set this variable to
zero, and when you return, BOOM! It's midnight! Another example? Okay,
let's say you're deep in the Clouds of Xeen themselves, and you suddenly
realize it's 7:57 a.m. You're miles from the exit and didn't set up a
Lloyd's Beacon. In three "steps," your Levitation spell wears off and
you'll plummet to your death (or at least, maiming) below. Save your game,
and set the clock back about an hour or so. Plenty of time to get back!

(NOTE: THERE ARE SOME PLACES THAT ARE INACCESSIBLE UNTIL "WORLD OF XEEN" IS
MADE ON YOUR HARD DRIVE. These places are: The Southern Sphinx, The Dragon
Tower, Darkstone Tower, and (My favorite) The Dungeon Of Death! So, since
this program was designed to work only with Clouds Of Xeen, PLEASE do NOT
try to warp into any of those areas, or you'll hit nothing but void space
and a probable crash. Enough said, I hope)
So, basically, that's how the seven modules work. If you've got
any questions, comments, flames, whatever, please send 'em to:
