When I started modding ToME I had only a couple of high school level computer science classes under my belt and had never heard of LUA. I certainly made some mistakes, but not knowing LUA was never a set back. There's quite a wealth of examples for most things you may want to do (talents, races,classes, items, zones, quests, etc), and if you can't find an example or still have questions, come join us on the Discord and the forums :) I was welcomed by the group of regular modders and given tons of great advice (and more than a little coding help) to get me on my way, and now I have created several addons.
I can't wait to see what you come up with! (And not just because I'm always eager for new content... but mostly ;-P )
This upgrade was actually put in pre-0.0.5 but a typo was discovered preventing it from working properly.
It should now display a clear visual effect when Quietus (racial talent in the High Wight racial tree) is used.
Since it does not burn arcane resources and cannot be placed at will, Quietus is substantially less powerful than anti-magic, but inflicting silence + the possibility of one cross-tier effect can still be situationally useful.
Enjoy!
There are basically no limits. In fact, if you run into some limitation preventing you, the game is open source so you can submit a "fix" if ya really want to :D
As darkgobbo said, adding enemies, maps, items, and even campaigns is possible. Even adding new abilities and classes is not terribly difficult (learning Lua is probably most of the work) as the support for add-ons is great.
Welcome!
That's amazing news for me! <3
You can add all of those things with addons. Even new campaigns!
Thanks for your feedback. This is fixed in the new version.
- Wights now start unlocked by default.
- High Wights begin with the following resistances: -5% fire, -5% blight, 10% nature, 10% light, 20% physical.
- High Wights still have only a racial bonus to Luck and Willpower and a 30% exp penalty.
- Upgrading the High Wight racial skill now properly gives the correct amount of hp, regen, and physical save for the Con gain. This has been tested over a range of values and conditions.
- Taking Quietus and Will of Eyal to level 5 will now give silence and stun immunity respectively.
- Because the engine is not built to handle tracking what your immunity was before, points in these talents may no longer be reverted. (It could be written to revert to base Wight immunity but this is undesirable because a. equipment modifiers would then be ignored, and b. when the Wight subraces come out, they will likely have different resistances.)
- The High Wight racial skill now unlocks Feedback, not Absorption.
- Mastering Elemental Body still unlocks Augmented Mobility.
- Taken together, the intent is that you have one resource track for your racial mobility and a separate one for your racial psionic damage mitigation, and potentially separate resources for your class abilities.
- This reduces reliance on Willpower to have a big enough Psi pool to do everything you want, which reduces Multiple Ability Dependence, which was the original intent of the race as stated in the design docs.
Thanks for the feedback. I have replicated the error and am fixing it. I will push a patch soon.
More detailed BUG information is required
How do you set up skills, preferably with screenshots
And a screenshot of the BUG or a log file (te4_log is the last one to report an error when the BUG is triggered) copy the text
Hi great addon. Though I realized it isn't working with Ancient Automated Teacher- PLUS and that realy only affects the tinker automata teacher in the normal campaign.
Fixed! The engine category now has a unique name behind the scenes.
Accidentally found out that using this mod at the same time as class Inferno Forger overwrites the talent category Engine with their completely different talents. Thanks for the quick reply though!
That was fun to read, thanks. :)
I believe there's an action that allows gambits to continue auto exploring, so this should be possible now.
Yep, this is a feature that I've wanted to add for various reasons - you can sort of do it with gambits with things like t3/4+ enemy in sight has not been true for at least X turns with disable gambit action, but it would make things a lot easier to allow manually enabling/disabling globally, and possibly adding disable until manual re-enable as a gambit action. Just haven't gotten around to it. I'll probably put more time into this next big Tome update.
I loved this article. Read the whole thing. My only comment is this: ":D"
disregard this
JustUS A HEAD-S-UP.
In that case why worry about graphics and bling?
Icy Retaliation was sending out asterisks instead of ice_shards.png, so I had a look around in blizzard.lua and saw ddisplay={particle="arrow", particle_args={tile="particles_images/ice_shards"}
Removed that extra "d" and it works fine now

It worked for a while, but now I have some bug which is making me unable to use any talents with a target. The error says something about a nil value in function useAutoTalent. This happens even when auto use is turned off.
