Custom insanity events - Full conversion?

[FlawlessHappiness]

Quick question!

Do I need to have a full conversion, to use custom insanity events?
With update 1.3 I can use StartInsanityEvent, but can I add my own?
if so, how?

I think you need a mod to make your own. Insanity events are configured in the main_sanity_events.cfg file. Here's an extract:

PHP Code: (Select All)

    <Bugs
        Name = "Bugs_Single"
        Set = "Default"
        MaxSanity = "60"
        
        NumOfBugs = "1"
        
        MinSizeMul = "0.8"
        mfMaxSizeMul = "1.3"
        
        BugImage = "insanity_bug01.tga"
        WanderCircleDist = "5000"
        WanderCircleRadius = "5000"
        SwarmPointMul = "500"
        MaxSpeed = "250.0"
        
        LoopSound = "insanity_bug1.ogg"
        SoundVolume = "0.8"
        Duration = "8"
    /> 


PS: It's in the misc folder.

Right, right.
I've already been there.

My question would be if there's some way to add to it, without creating a full conversion.
Because it's a lot of work, for such a small thing. But it could be a damn cool effect.

With the StartSanityEvent, I think it just means you can start any of the existing ones you want. I might be wrong, but I don't think you can add custom ones through the script or without the use of a mod.

That is also my experience so far.

When you say "mod" you mean "Full conversion" right? Or am I missing a piece?

Well, yes. Full conversion is just the longer term. Although not technically, a mod is basically the same; modification of the core game.

Ah alright. That's what I'm going to go with, ind the end then.

Only for FULL Conversion mods.
Because you will need to change the .misc folder -> main_sanity_events.cfg file.
IF you change stuff there people also need to change their Original files, and a lot won't do it.
Because the Original game will have changes as well..

Yup, I was wondering whether there was a way, by only using the custom stories folder. But as you said, there isn't. So thanks.
