You CAN Mod Diggle Gods, But...

...but there's a catch: the activation method won't be the same. You'll need a lever and it won't have that nifty "Do you wish to pray at the altar" confirm box. I can confirm, however, that the following works.

rooms.xml

Code:

<room width="11" height="12" name="Small Shrine To The Diggle God Of Mediocrity" >

spellDB.xml

Code:

<spell name="Diggle God of Mediocrity Blessing" type="self">
    <anim sprite="sprites/sfx/rage/rage" frames="3" framerate="50" sfx="large_hit" />
    <buff useTimer="0" stacksize="1" icon="skills/diglet64.png" smallicon="skills/diglet32.png"  digglegod="1"> <!-- digglegod="1" is important here -->
        <secondarybuff id="0" amount="5"/>
        <secondarybuff id="1" amount="5"/>
        </buff>
    <description text="The Diggle God of Mediocrity feebly asks for dirt? Or something? To dig, possibly?" />
    <ai hint="buff"/>
    </spell>

Mod away, moddeteers.

 

Still, both of these can be used - the one Fax proposed is the one we can use for any "special" buff, even if it's not one of the "god" buffs.

But thank you for the comment, Nicholas.

 

I like it too, Daynab.

 

This calls for a drink.

 

I had tried to mention this before I just didn't explain it very well but I know I mentioned once that the diggle gods were in the spellDB.

 

Yeah, I knew their spells were in there. I just hadn't noticed the <digglegod /> entries.

 

I had and probably could have saved you some trouble had I explained it better.

 

Me either. I had tried to make a "Diggle God of Foreshadowing" a couple months ago, and gave up when I couldn't find anywhere in the room files that connected the shrine to the spell. I'd assumed it was hardcoded, and gave up on it.

 

You should make a Diggle God of Interior Dungeonating.
