The Universal Game Editor Module for REALMS OF ARKANIA 3
by Dave Melanson, using Jack Hartman's Universal Game Editor 1.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi again, PC gaming buffs, and welcome to UGE module #29
created by me using Jack Hartman's UGE base program. Other
modules you may (or may not) have seen include Stonekeep, Diablo,
Anvil of Dawn, Daggerfall, Lords Of The Realm 2, etc...
All of the modules I've created are free of registration
charge, but I do ask that all users of the modules please register
the base program with Jack Hartman (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST: How to set up UGE. To accomplish this, I've lifted a couple
questions from the UGE FAQ I've written:
Q: "How do I set up Universal Game Editor?"
A: First, create a directory on your hard drive to hold the programs. Then use PKUNZIP version 2.04g or
better...or WinZIP ...to uncompress the UGE10.ZIP file into the new directory. If you want to use a plug-in
module, also use the same program(s) to uncompress the zipped module file into the same directory.
Q: "Will Universal Game Editor work in Windows 95?"
A: Yes, it will work in Windows 95 without a problem. Just set up a Shortcut to UGE.EXE.
Q: "How do I install a plug-in module?"
A: Start up UGE. You have to Add the game to the main menu screen (blue) that appears. As that suggests, press
the "A" key. A red box will appear on the right. Type the name of the game in there and press Enter (actually,
you can type anything you like; it won't matter, but typing the name of the game just might be useful for
identifying it later on!) Now a list of files with the extension ".mdl" will appear in a box on the right. (There will
also be one called "**New File**," which you DON'T want to choose right now...later, if you decide to create
your own modules, this will be very useful).
Use the arrow keys to highlight the file that says GAMENAME.MDL, where GAMENAME, once again, is the
name of the game (or an abbreviation or approximation), then press Enter. Now you should see a directory listing
of your hard drive in the box on the right. Use your arrow keys to select the file you wish to edit, in the following
manner:
Use the arrow keys to highlight the directory where the actual GAME (NOT U.G.E!!) is stored on the hard drive.
Press Enter. Now scroll up and down the list and look for a saved game file...usually, the module's instructions will
tell you the name of the file to look for (so read the instructions) but as a general rule, the file formats take one of
several forms:
If you saved a game with a specific name, you may see that name followed by a three digit extension (for
example, you named a saved game WALKING, then you might see WALKING.SAV or WALKING.DAT
or something similar...that's your saved game file).
Maybe there is a separate directory for saved games...usually, this'll be named SAVES or SAVEGAME or
GAMES or something like that...go into that by highlighting it, then pressing Enter...and then keep looking.
Sometimes games are saved with numeric extensions that indicate which "slot" they are saved in...for
example, let's say a game has a "Save Game" screen with ten available slots for games. When you save to
the first slot, you create, say, a game called GAME.001, or GAME0.SAV, or something like that. When
you save the game to the SECOND slot, you create a file called GAME.002, or GAME1.SAV, or
something like that. Some games start numbering with 1, some with 0. It's a matter of which game you're
playing.
Still other games save a series of game files in a numeric subdirectory...for example, let's say a game has
ten subdirectories called SAVE01, SAVE02, SAVE03, etc...to SAVE10. Inside THOSE directories are the
saved game files for the various slots...once again, these work the same way as a numeric extension-ed
game file...so that, if you save a game in the first "slot" of the saved game screen, the files you want to
modify would be in the SAVE01 subdirectory. If you save in the second slot, the files would be in the
SAVE02 subdirectory.
EXAMPLE FOR THIS MODULE: Realms Of Arkania III
When you save a game in Realms Of Arkania III, you can give it
a name, and it will be given the extension .SAV The file you want to
modify will be in the GAMES subdirectory of your RIVA directory,
and will have the name you gave the game followed by the extension
.SAV For example, if you saved your game with the name "TESTING,"
the file you would want to modify would be TESTING.SAV.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, great...so what IS all this stuff, anyway?
For each of the six characters in your party (3 are covered in
the first module [ROA3_1.MDL] and the other three in the second
[ROA3_2.MDL]), you can modify just about everything...
"Name" obviously changes character name. Not a big deal, but
useful to keep track of who's who.
"Class" controls what profession your character has (see Table 1
below for a list of classes).
"Sex" controls...yeah, you guessed it. Set this to 0 to be male and
1 to be female.
"Height (cm)" is your character's height in centimeters
"Weight (oz)" is your character's weight in ounces
[Note on the above two fields: go ahead. Create a character
named Kate Moss with a height of 200 cm and a weight of 50 oz. I dare
ya...]
"Deity" controls what god (or goddess) your character worships. The
list of deities appears in Table 2 below (THE NAMELESS GOD! YEAH!)
"Level" and "Experience" control your character's "experience level"
(duh)...read the ROA3 manual for more details on that.
The next few fields are your "Normal" and "Current" values for all
of your ability scores and all of your 'vulnerabilities.' See the
ROA 3 rules for limits on these (although setting all the
"vulnerabilities" to 2 might be useful...)
Then we have four fields detailing current and maximum life and astral
points. Obviously, if your character isn't a spell caster, astral
points are not important.
The next fields, from "Unarmed" to "Perception," are character skills.
You can easily make yourself a master of every form of skill in the
game.
Following that are the spell fields...your skills in all of the game's
spells, from "Domination" up to "Calm Storm." Note: if your character
is not a spell caster type, setting these differently will make no
difference; you still won't be able to cast spells with that character.
The next fields refer to the on-body inventory slots (the ones that
appear when you pull down the "Scroll" on the character sheet).
Following THAT are the "Item 1" and "Num Item 1" pairs. These control
the sixteen other inventory slots. Representative values for all
available inventory items for both these and the on-body slots appear
in Table 3 below. The "Num Item 1" fields control, for applicable
items, the number of items of that type that appear in the slot (i.e.
arrows, certain herbs, etc)
Finally, you have a field called "LOAD." This determines the total
weight your character is carrying. So, if you think toting around
those fifteen suits of platemail armor may be bad for your endurance
levels, go ahead and set your Load to 0.
The very last field in the first module, "total party money,"
controls the total amount of money the characters have accessible
(WARNING: DO NOT MODIFY THIS WHEN THE PARTY IS SPLIT!) The value here
is the total number of copper pieces available to the party.
Every 10 copper pieces you set here gives you one silver piece, and
every 10 silver pieces you set here gives you one gold ducat...so,
setting this value to 382 would give your party a total of 3 Gold
Ducats, 8 silver pieces, and 2 copper pieces. This field does not
appear in the second module.
