Modding original game

[hovergoat]

I wanted to play through the original game using a custom class and race. Is this currently possible?/Will it be possible?

You can load the original dungeon in the editor by changing the dungeonFolder in a .dungeon_editor file to "assets/dungeons/grimrock2".

With an init.lua and dungeon.lua you can make actual modifications and export them, but I don't know if we are allowed to distribute said init.lua and dungeon.lua, so I won't upload them.

This looks like a great way to learn LoG level editing as well. Thank you

I wish I knew this 341 hours ago (so says my Steam account lol). I think I learned more in the last few minutes then I did all this weekend.

This doesn't seem to be working for me. It looks like changing the dungeonFolder path also changes where the scripts are loaded from :/

[minmay]

As in, with the original dungeon.lua in your own dungeonFolder path outside of grimrock2.dat.

Got it working! Thanks. It looked like it was missing an object define, but I think I can live without the world_map

That's a really cool finding minmay. Let's see what AH says about this, my guess is that this possibility is left there intentionally.

Takes a good 10-15 seconds to start after you click play and my system is fairly good. I think AH allowed it intentionally too.

It's interesting to see some of the devs leftover design decision comments.
