Editor Module For Ravenloft: Stone Prophet
Created by David Melanson w/Universal Game Editor 1.0
Welcome to the land of Har'Akir, a desert filled with magic, mayhem,
and all sorts of wonderful creatures who are not exactly alive, but not
exactly dead, either. In other words, a suburb of Ravenloft. Wonderful
place, really, provided you don't mind being chased around by invulnerable
undead and such things.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with my previous UGE work,
check out my Website at http:\www.ici.netcustomersoverkilloverkill.htm,
and choose the "UGE Page Option." There are modules up there for...well,
a lot more games, and more are being added as time goes on. Also, I charge
no registration fee for these modules, but I do ask that you register UGE;
Jack put quite some effort into it, and I believe it's worth the investment.
Now on to the current module. Those of you familiar with my
Ravenloft:Strahd's Possession or Menzoberranzen modules can skip a good
majority of this documentation (I just copied most of the text file); SSI
used almost exactly the same game format in this one. There are a few
differences, however, so don't skip everything...
How to use the module:
Fire up U.G.E., of course. The files you want to edit are in the sub-
directories SAVExx, where xx is a number 01-10. Since SAVE01 is usually
reserved for the "Quick Start" game w/pre-generated characters, editing
your own characters should be done in the directories starting with SAVE02.
The file name involved should be game.sav.
You'll note that, once again, I created the capability to edit the
four possible party members you can have in at once, although you start off
with only two. Once again, while you can use the module to "create" new
characters in the two NPC slots, I really recommend against it; it tends to
crash the game. I suggest you just use the editing capabilities to modify
NPCs when they join your little group. Please note that your "first"
character you start with is actually in the Character 2 slot, and the
"second" is in the Character 3 slot. This is because they start in the
"front rank," with slots 1 and 4 open for NPC's.
As for the fields, Name is pretty obvious. The field "Character
Dead Status?" is basically a set flag...if your character dies, jump into
UGE and check this field. If it's anything other than 0, the character is
dead. Set it to 0, and you get an instant resurrection, free of charge. Be
sure to set Hit Points back up to normal, of course.
Portrait is the "picture" of the character that appears on the
screen. Experiment with this if you want; there's a good variety of faces
you can get that aren't in the original selection screen. Sex, Race,
Alignment, and the three Class fields are all simple numeric codes. See
Table 1, below, for a listing of available settings. And yes, you can be a
Commoner (barf)...or a Wemic...or even a Desert Troll!
Furthermore, the module allows you to break racial restrictions on
classes; make human multi-classes, Desert Troll Paladins, Paladin/Thief
multi-classes...it's all up to you. There IS a problem, however...
When you create a character via the standard method (i.e. through
the character generation program), you can avoid the standard character
restrictions. What I mean by this: if you create a Half-Elven Fighter/Mage/
Cleric, you can wear armor while casting Mage spells, and also wield edged
weapons. Conversely, if you start off with a human Fighter and add in the
Mage and Cleric classes via this module, not only will you be limited to
using blunt weapons, BUT you will also not be able to cast Mage spells while
wearing armor! So, for the best possible combinations, I recommend creating
two Half-Elven Fighter/Mage/Clerics or Fighter/Mage/Thiefs, or whatever, and
modifying each individual class in terms of XP, Level, hit points, etc.
later. Using the module, you CAN change the "Fighter" class to a Paladin
or Ranger and gain some of their interesting advantages.
Current and Maximum Hit Points, Class Levels, and Class X.P. should
be self-explanatory. Note that if your character does not have three
classes, at least of of each of the "Class," "Class Level" and "Class X.P."
fields will be listed as -1. This is the flag that Prophet utilizes
to note that something is "blank." Therefore, most likely, you'll also see
-1 in some inventory slots to indicate empty slots, and -1 in some spell
slots to indicate that your character doesn't know how to cast that
particular spell...at least, until now.
There are fields for Current and Maximums for each of the six
major ability scores, and for Exceptional Strength (whatever happened to
Comeliness? Not like it really matters, though). These can be set anywhere
from 3 to 19, except Strength, which can SUPPOSEDLY be set to 22 (I tried it
one time with an NPC and got a crash for my efforts). Special note: If
you set Strength to anything except 18, do not set Exceptional Strength
(Listed as Str+ in the fields) to anything but 255. (For those of you
familiar with AD&D, you know why. Those of you who aren't, just trust me.)
Inventory slots 1-12 are for your character's twelve available
inventory positions. If your character is part Mage when you create him
or her, you'll note that the first slot is occupied by the number 38. This
is the character's Spell Book. Do NOT change this number, and do NOT
attempt to put the number 38 in ANY other inventory slot. Doing so, in
the words of Egon Spengler, would be bad, if you catch my drift. Despite
this restriction, there are in fact somewhere over 400 available Inventory
items you can plug into these slots...they are all listed in Table 2, below.
Duplicates are okay, apparently, to an extent.
Do NOT attempt to put a number in a slot that is
not listed below; it will cause either: a.) a "blank" item to appear (a
pouch with no weight and no content and no capacity), b.) an unusual image
used to represent one of the "touch" spells that does nothing, or c.)
a game crash with an "attempt to read value out of range" error. You'll
also notice there are slots for Head and Body armor pieces, as well as for
two rings and what's in the character's Right and Left hands. Of course,
PLEASE only put rings in the ring slots, only armor or cloaks in the body
armor slot, and only headgear in the Head armor slot; otherwise, it's
rather silly and causes all sorts of weird effects.
Finally, we have the "spells/abilities" section.
Abilities, whether class or race-related, are listed separately. You can
enable any special abilities you like for any character (a Paladin with
back-stabbing ability?). These "Abilities" are listed between the Mage and
Cleric spells. For the most part, Spells and Abilities work in the same way,
and everything is based around the number 17. You may notice, when you
enable some abilities, they appear in the spell/ability menu in a different
color; this indicates that you are not SUPPOSED to be able to use it...but
you can anyway. Ha, ha, ha...
In the case of all spells, the number in the slot is either 255
(indicating the character doesn't know the spell), or some multiple of 17.
The number of spells of a particular type that a character has memorized and
ready to cast is indicated by a multiple of 17 in the spell field. For
example, if the field that reads "Magic Missile Spells" says 34, the
character has two (17x2=34) Magic Missile Spells prepped and ready to go.
So yes, you can "memorize" spells beyond your level, more spells than you
could normally cast, spells your character couldn't normally cast, etc.!
This applies to both Mage and Cleric spells...just remember; unless your
character was a multi-class part Mage when you started initially, you won't
be able to throw Mage spells unless you're not wearing armor. You can
be using edged weapons when throwing Cleric spells added in by this module,
however. A 0 in one of the spell fields indicates the character knows the
spell and can memorize/pray for it (provided he or she has the appropriate
class in his/her class types), but doesn't have any spells of that type
currently ready to go. If you don't have the appropriate class in your
class list, you can't memorize it or pray for it...but still throw it.
Weird, huh?
Abilities start with "Backstab" and go up to "Turn Undead."
Some of these, like "Change Form," work just like spells...a multiple of
17 can be used to indicate how many times you can use the ability. Others,
like "Backstab," must only be set to 17 to be made available, as the power
is not lost upon utilizing it. These abilities are found under the
section of the character's spell/ability menu on the adventure screen with
the medallion symbol (the leftmost button on the spell screen). As
to which ones are "one setting makes permanent" and which ones are "17/cast,"
I'm afraid you'll have to work that out for yourself (hey, I can't do ALL
the work for you!)
An interesting thing about spells...if you set yourself up with
some you shouldn't be able to cast, and then gain a level, it resets all
the spells to your appropriate level of knowledge...so when you gain a
level, save, go modify 'em again, and go back in.
That should be it...now, on to the all-important Tables O'Doom.

Well, folks, that's about it for this module. It is, of course,
not foolproof, but I hope you find it useful in your conquest of the the
Desert of Har'Akir. E-mail any comments, questions, or whatever to me at

good luck and good hunting! (And remember, always be good to your mummy).
