Welcome, I hope to make this in to a reasonable resource that pulls together a bunch of ideas and wonderings I've had while using Siege Editor and the various other tools around for moding Dungeon Siege.
First some ground rules and apologies
- If you find something I've posted dosn't work, mail me and I'll fix it.
I'm not going to be posting stuff up here that I haven't got working myself.
- I'm using Dungeon Siege 1.10, and Siege Editor 1.10 and all other tools in the Dungeon Siege tool kit - so will you be
- I'm not going to be posting other's tutorials verbatum - although I might tweek them - if I do I'll post proper credits
- I'd really appreciate it if you at least try to follow the tutorials over at Dungeon Siege.com's Siege University
Ideally SiegeU 200 as well as 100... I'm not asking too much - try the 100 first, and when I think you need to have read one of the others I'll let you know.
Now some tutorials
- Waterfall Alcove
This was written to answer a particular problem posted on a foum, and has limited use beyond that (unless you want to know how to put together the Waterfall Alcove nodes).
It assumes you know how to place nodes in the Siege Editor.
- Chapters
This was written after we'd figured out how to get the Chapter interfaces working. There are a couple of ommissions in Siege U 209 about firing the Chapter interface and updating the journal.
After I'd done it once, and explained bits and pieces here and there, the question was raised again, so I then went through the whole process again, writing it up step by step, in one place so that others would be able to follow.
- Quests
Again taking over from where Siege U 209 left off, this covers a couple of bugs in Siege Editor that mean you won't be able to display quest dialogue in the journal - the basic issue is that Siege Editor creates an entry in your gas file saying "dialogue", while Dungeon Siege is expecting it called "dialog".
