Recommended Crafting System?

[Legacy_Buddywarrior]

               

I'm new to the concept of implementing a crafting system into a PW. Can anyone suggest one? I saw a cep_craft.erf , not sure if that's a crafting system and was not able too find documentation in CEP for a crafting system.

 

Any suggestions would be welcome. Or if you tell me to bugger off and that real men just code one out, I understand that =)

 

Thanks!

I am not very familiar with the various systems, but I wanted to suggest that maybe you can be more specific about what you want in or mean by a "crafting system". There are systems for adding magical properties to weapons and armor, similar to Rizolvir's dialogue system in HotU or the various "gem" systems like Commanche's Slayers/Shadows of Darkmoon, or Scarface's. There are systems for customizing the appearances of weapons and armor, like Lilista's. There are systems for crafting other (non-equipped) magic items, such and Bioware's system for wands, potions, and scrolls and improved versions of that system. Etc. Crafting can cover a lot of ground. ;-)

 

I haven't explored the one in CEP 2.4, but I would think that others have and will know of different systems, too. But, it's usually best to give some context about what you are looking for as that let's readers feel confident that the thing they know about is actually what you want and encourages them to reply.

Thank you for the reply. I did leave it fairly open ended allowing for other great perspectives like Scarface's gem system (I didn't even consider utilizing something like that). We (my buddies and I) are fairly generic trade skill users on other platforms such as jewel crafting, fletching, gathering, smithy etc.

cep_craft.erf contains modified bioware crafting convo (and dozens of scripts for that) that extends it to work with shields and helms also - its not a tradeskill system as one might thought

 

if you are looking for a tradeskill system, the most used and endorsed is the CNR, then ATS, older but still has some merits. There is also ultima online style tradeskill system that came in that time with new unique style of recipe selection, but as much as it sounds great I found that way to be worse than the conversation style the CNR and ATS are using.
