Hey all, im brand spankin new here, to the game of fate, and modding. So yes, i may sound stupid at times, but i try hard:) I came up with two new ideas for mods last night, and thought i would post them to get some feedback before i started work on them

1. A magic scrolls mod. I had searched the forum to see if anyone had tried this before, but i just wanted to ask to make sure i wasn't reapeating someone elses work. What I mean is have scrolls in the game that you can cast a spell from just like the identify and town portal scrolls, just with other spells. For instance last night i successfully created (and tested) and "Discover Scroll", that when used, discovered the particular floor you were on.

2. A mod that would create a "lock" system. Like random doors and chests are locked, and the only way to open them is with a lockpick (an item i would have to create) or an open lock spell (a spell i would have to create). I realize the complexities of this mod would make it much more difficult, so any helpful tips or ideas would be wonderful.

Thanks for the input and happy modding!

For #1: Yes, this is possible, one example is in my mod, 4 New Monsters, where a scroll summons a monster.

#2: Read Maestro's post

1. Someone was going to do but never did. However, the scroll/book that casts mental map to discover your floor is already done.

2. Can't be done without changing the hardcoding of the game. There is simply no effect tag that you can add to an item that would lock it. You should look through the list of effect tags to get an idea of what can be done.

Thanks guys, i will put the work into the scroll mod then. Any suggestions on just how many spells should be available? Should I make every spell aquirable via a scroll?

its all up to you. But what most people strive for are mods that are highly unique.
Go Mod researching a bit, and try to brew up a creation idea of your very own.

Just have fun :]

I should warn you. Known your own strengths and skills. Dont start off too strong.
Thats what heppened to me my first time. I went straight to Modeling. -OUCH- It was a big hit. But i managed, somehow.

Can someone create a combat knife please. I would my self but I don't have 3ds because it is too expensive for my budget which is nothing. I like the kukri but really would like the KA-bar combat knife to be added.

I could try to retexture something to look like a combat knife
