Modding / Re: Aquaria: Sacrifice v1.1

I decided that I wanted  Elena's energy form to look a little different than Naija's.

"rpg_elena" is a special entity only used to display Elena in dialogue trees. The Elena you control is just Naija in a skin/costume (princess outfit at the moment). Most of the avatar/Naija code is "hidden" so I'd just replace the energy form gfx in the original package.

Ah! I see the issue. Thank you! Looks like I'm going to have to add some code to see if I can reroute the energyform to the new files just for Sacrifice. I think I can manage that. . .

Already modded the main game gfx, not wanting them to be changed globally in this instance.

Thanks much!

Modding / Re: Aquaria: Sacrifice v1.05

« on: May 17, 2010, 06:23:30 pm »

Hello! I'm painfully new to this forum. I purchased Aquaria just last week and am now playing through Sacrifice. I decided that I wanted  Elena's energy form to look a little different than Naija's. So, after already having experimented with modifying gfx in the original game, I set to.

These are the steps I've taken thus far:
- created a new folder named 'Elena' in the gfx folder in the original game package
- edited the copies of the energy form images and placed them in the new folder
- edited "rpg_elena.lua" to show:

     elseif (getForm() == 1) then
           entity_initSkeletal(me, "Najia", "energyformE")

rather than:

     elseif (getForm() == 1) then
           entity_initSkeletal(me, "Najia", "energyform")

- made a copy of "energyform.xml" named "energyformE.xml"
- edited "energyformE.xml" to search for energyform gfx in the Elena forder rather than Naija folder.

ALL that and still the new gfx don't load when in energyform in this mod. . .

Did I do something wrong or miss something?
