Adding special encounters

[The_Pastmaster]

Whitch is the easyest way to add a brand new SE and keep all the
old ones?

Not sure, but you will need to install the city limit patch to have more towns (or run one of the patchers)

 

[The_Pastmaster]

I have the patch for the game and the mapper
installed and functioning...

All normal and special encounters you find in Data/Worldmap.txt file.

For Special Encounter you must add your encounter to some Random Encounter Tables :

[Encounter Table 6]
lookup_name=Arro_M                                      ; Areas around Arroyo to nearly the ocean

enc_25 and enc_26 are SE.

 

[The_Pastmaster]

enc_25 and enc_26 are SE?

What the heck dose that mean?

And how should I edit the worldmap.txt and not screwing it up?

 

[jargo]

enc_25 and enc_26 are SE?

What the heck dose that mean?

Well that means that last entry in this table are special encouters.

enc_25=Chance:1%,Counter:1,Special,Map:Special Bridge Encounter,Enc:Special1, If(Player(Level) > 9) And If(Global(605) < 1) 
enc_26=Chance:1%,Counter:1,Special,Map:Special Holy Encounter 2,Enc:Special1, If(Global(372) > 0) And If(Global(606) < 1)

Some info from Tarantul

enc_01 - The encounter's label.
; Chance:2% - % chance that this encounter will be selected from the table.
; Counter:1 - Unknown, all of them use 1.
; Special,Map:Special Toxic Encounter - The special encounter's town name (which encounter to use).
; Enc:Special1,If(Player(Level) > 5) And If(Global(607) < 1) - These are the conditions necessary
; for the encounter to occur. There can be any number of these If statements. They must be
; connected by "And"s however. The first parameter is pretty obvious, it checks to see if the
; player's level is of the right number. Multiple If(Player(Level) > #) can be used to
; isolate only a specific age range to have an encounter occur. The If(Global(607) < 1)
; checks the value of a certain global variable. For a full list of what each Global
; value means, look in vault13.gam. Usually at least one of the If(Global(#) < #)s refer to
; whether the encounter has been encountered already.
