Creating Mods for Mighty Dungeons

You will need a copy of a desktop version of the game (PC/Mac). Unless you are using a mobile version of the game, the desktop versions are shipping without DRM or any kind of file protection, giving you direct and easy access to the game data files. That's on purpose! When I designed Mighty Dungeons, I was inspired by boardgames like HeroQuest, Warhammer Quest and video games like Diablo and Dungeon Master. Using these boardgame roots, I designed Mighty Dungeons from the ground-up to be easily extensible. It's very easy to add new monsters, weapons, heroes, quests and other items.

IMPORTANT Do not modify the game data files themselves. Any modification you make may be erased the next time you update the game. Instead use the /MightyDungeons/mods folder in your Documents folder (Mac: ~/Library/ApplicationSupport, Windows:C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\).

First find a unique name for your mod, you should start with a number between 1000 and 9999 - ex: 1000yohanmod. This will be used to order the mods. Create a folder with the name of the mod in the mods folder (%MyDocuments%/MightyDungeons/mods/1000yohanmod). All your modifications should go into this mod folder. This is where you will download the workshop mods too.

The game data files are written in JSON format. They can be opened using any text editor. I personally use Sublime Text, but that's just my personal preference.

The base game data files are stored in the resources/common folder of the installed folder. The game campaigns (and quests) have their own folder in resources/CAMPAIGNID/ folder - ex: /resources/abaddon for the Abaddon campaign.

You should be able to copy and override any of the game files by recreating the folder structure in your mod and dropping the file and modifying it there.

For instance, if you wanted to modify the monster_gang_bonus from the misc_values.json file. In your 1000yohanmod folder, create a resources folder, drop the misc_values.json file. Open it and remove everything except

{

monsters_gang_bonus: 50

}

Make sure to remove the extra "comma" at the end of the monster_gang_bonus line and set the number that you want (in percentages) - ex:1000. Restart the game and the monsters will now have a super high gang up bonus.

You can easily disable a mod by creating a disabled.txt file into the root of that mod folder. Make sure you disable any mod that depends on it using the same method.

Important If you want to add a value into a list (typically adding a hero to the list of heroes able to use a certain weapon), just use the name of the list and add only 1 value to it. The modding engine for the game always combine mod array lists.

{

"hero":["naruto"]

}

As for tables, the modding engine will override value by value. Ex using misc_values.json:

{

[...]

"default_price_per_q1" : {

"Weapon" : 12,

"Armor" : 5

},

[...]

}

Overriding the value for Armor only

{

"default_price_per_q1" : {

"Armor" : 12

}

}

You will NEED to validate the game data files before you can distribute them. Just to be sure that the JSON that you wrote is usable by the game. You can use the free online tool called JSONlint. Copy the content of the file to the site, click the "Validate" button and check the errors that it generates. Copy-paste and try again. When JSONLint is all green, you can add the file to the game :)

You can download this file, put it in your documents /MightyDungeons/mods/ folder and you should see the new hero in Extra > Change Hero > New Hero list.

The shop is dynamically constructed using all the items from the resources and mods folder that have a price and are not tagged as "noshop:1". In quests, you can also create NPCs that are carrying a shop around by using the JSON structure below.

If you are creating a quest that includes a NPC carrying around a shop (great for refueling while in a quest), you need to copy that structure and add all the item classes that the NPC can offer.

{

"spells" :[

{"class":"acidwall"},

{"class":"pet_firedemon"}

],

"potions" :[

{"class":"health"}

],

"shield" :[

{"class":"shield_largemithril"}

],

"legs" :[

{"class":"legs_mithril"}

],

"body" :[

{"class":"body_mithrilarmor"}

],

"arms" :[

{"class":"arms_mithrilgauntlets"}

],

"head" :[

{"class":"head_mithrilhelmet"}

],

"pet" :[

{"class":"pet_mithrilgolem"}

],

"weapons" :[

{"class":"double_mithrilwarhammer"}

],

"articles" :[

{"class":"toolkit"}

]

}

Overriding values

You can override any of the shop item's default values in the shop. For instance, if you want to create a NPC that carries around a shop with health potions to be distributed in quests, but super expensive, you can do so by declaring the NPC in the quest, adding a the following shop JSON structure to it's properties:

{

"potions" :[

{"class":"health", "price":10000}

]

}

The file /resources/misc_values.json contains all the global values that the game uses from gang-up bonus for monsters, to list of achievements.

Misc Values

"tavern_meal_price": 80,

Max price of the meal at the Tavern. Actual price will be this value % remaining life left

"tavern_meal_price_min": 5,

Min price of the meal at the Tavern

"quest_redo_price": 1,

Default price to pay for redoing quests

"divine_intervention_price": 1,

DEPRECATED - the Divine Intervention feature has been deprecated (the provider for the web service I was using closed down...)

"default_price_per_q1": {

"Weapon": 12,

"Armor": 5

},

Default price for buying 1 item of each type

"equipment_upgrade": {

"Weapon": {

"attack_bonus_percent" : 20,

"defense_bonus_percent" : 10,

"defense_handicap_percent" : 10,

"cost_percent" : 40,

"price_bonus" : 10

},

"Armor": {

"defense_bonus_percent" : 15,

"attack_bonus_percent" : 10,

"attack_handicap_percent" : 10,

"cost_percent" : 40,

"price_bonus" : 10

}

},

Default price/percentages to upgrade weapons at the Blacksmith

"monsters_gang_bonus": 50,

Percentage bonus for each monster in a gang

"magic_upgrade_percent": 10,

I use a non-linear curve for the magic strength based on the difference in level between spell and spellcaster.

Actual Equation:

(100 + magic_upgrade_percent * (mind_delta ^ ((11-(spell.mind*(mind_delta/(11-spell.mind+9))))/(11-spell.mind))) ) /100

Campaign Packages

This is where the game loads all campaigns shown on the Quests selection screen.

"packages": [

"skeltor",

"forbiddendungeons",

"abaddon",

"chaosgods",

"origins",

"hellgates",

"goblinking",

"blacksheep"

],

If you create a new campaign in a mod, the game will automatically add it to the list, you don't have to touch this field.

Achievements

Although you can add new ones (and modify existing ones) pretty easily, they will not be connected to Steam (if you are using Steam) as I need to register the achievements with Steam manually. Don't hesitate to submit your misc_values.json to me if you want me to add your achievements to Steam.

It is really easy to create weapons for Mighty Dungeons. What you need:

• Cool name for your item: "Axe"

Note that you don't need to specify who can use the potions since anybody can drink a potion :)

Defining the Magic

You need to define the magic that the potion will trigger when a hero drinks it. Example:

"magic" : [{

"subject" : "Self",

"effect" : "body_all"

}

]

You only can use magic that can target "Self" (since you are drinking the potion and not throwing it at the enemy, maybe in a future release though :)

Here is the list of "self" magic effects that you can use

// recuperates all lost body points (up to body_max)

"body_all",

// loses all body points except 1

"body_1",

// set body value to X

// requires params: "quantity"

"body_set",

I will not go into details here, I recommend that you read tutorials about particle engines before you create your own PEX file. You can just rely on a PEX from one of your favorite existing spells for starters.

It is really easy to create articles for Mighty Dungeons that you will be able to use in your quests. What you need:

• Cool name for your Trap: "Eye of Divination".

• Unique ID for your Trap (that nobody else will use): "yohaneye_divination". Please pick a name with no space and special character (stick to [a-zA-Z0-9]).

• 128x128 PNG image with transparent background of your article that will be displayed in shop and inventory - yohan_eye_divination.png

• 48x48 PNG square image with transparent background that will be displayed in shop and inventory - yohan_eye_divination.png (must end with "_icon")

• Name and Description of your article translated in multiple languages (at least en, ru,de,pl,it,es,fr,hu). If you don't want to translate it you will not be able to sell it. You can use Google Translate as a basic translation tool to help you with that.

"size" : [1,1],

Adding Furniture to Quests

Besides defining the position of the item on the board, you need to define it's orientation

{

// Position of the item on the board

"tile":"4x12",

// UID/Class of the item

"class":"chest_1",

// Orientation of the item (combination of vertical and mirror)

"vertical":1,

"loot":{"potions":[{"class":"healing_small","quantity":5}]},

// Set to 1 and suddenly your item will ALWAYS drop loot.

// It will actually drop everything that you listed in the loot section.

"always_loot":1

}

Defining Loot in Quests

You can define the default loot of your item in the game data file, or define it in the JSON properties when adding it to quests. It can be overriden if needed. The item may or may not drop any loot when activated. If it does, the game engine will pick one of the items from the loot JSON property.

"loot" : {

// Max amount of gold

"gold":100,

// Min amount of gold (can be 0)

"gold_min":10,

// Pick one of these weapons - minimum required properties are class and maybe the num_attack value

"weapons":[

{"class":"shortbow","num_attack":20},

{"class":"spear","num_attack":10},

{"class":"longsword","num_attack":10},

{"class":"staff","num_attack":10}

],

// Pick one of these armors - minimum rrequired properties are class and maybe the num_defense value

"armors":[

{"class":"head_hornhelmet","num_defense":100},

{"class":"body_leather","num_defense":100},

],

// Key - IMPORTANT if you add a key to the loot, the item will ALWAYS loot that key. So don't add it unless you need that key in your quest

"key":"gold",

// Same for "potions", "spells", "articles"

It is really easy to create NPCs for Mighty Dungeons. What you need:

• Cool name for your NPC: "Drusila". Note that the name can be changed in the quests.

• Unique ID for your NPC (that nobody else will use): "yohandrusila". Please pick a name with no space and special character (stick to [a-zA-Z0-9]).

• 160x160 PNG image with transparent background of your NPC that will be shown in popups - yohan_drusila.png

• 64x64 PNG round image with transparent background that will be used as token on the board - yohan_drusila_icon.png (must end with "_icon")

• JSON file describing your NPC "yohan_drusila.json"

Game Data File

Name and Description of the NPC. Just put any name here, copy it for every language. It will probably be modified on a quest by quest basis.

"name" : {

"en":"Drusila",

"ru":"Drusila",

"jp":"Drusila",

"cn":"Drusila",

"ko":"Drusila",

"de":"Drusila",

"pl":"Drusila",

"br":"Drusila",

"it":"Drusila",

"es":"Drusila",

"fr":"Drusila",

"hu":"Drusila"

"de":"Drusila",

"pl":"Drusila",

"br":"Drusila",

"it":"Drusila",

"es":"Drusila",

"fr":"Drusila",

"hu":"Drusila"

},

NPCs don't do anything until you add them to quests. For each quest you will be able to define what the NPC says, gives, sells.

Define the sound the NPC makes when talking to the hero. You can add new sounds to the resources/common/Common/sounds/ folder by dropping a ogg file with the name talk_XXX.ogg (replace XXX by the unique name of your sound - ex yohan_chat). You can see the list of sounds available in that same folder.

"sound_id" : "npc"

Integrating NPC to Quests

When integrating a NPC to a quest you need to define the position of the NPC on the board. You can then override any of the NPC values like the name and description.

You need to decide if the NPC will say something besides introducing himself. And also what the NPC will give the Hero (or open the Shop) when talked to.

{

// Position of the NPC on the board

"tile":"18x24",

// Class of the NPC

"class":"gorgio",

},

// Set to 1 if the NPC has nothing to say and the hero can just accept his gift (if any)

// The gifts will be defined in the "loot" section. If the NPC has nothing to loot

// it will not show any action button

"notalk":1,

It is really easy to create monsters for Mighty Dungeons. What you need:

• Cool name for your monster's race: "Arachnolith"

• Unique ID for your monster (that nobody else will use): "yohanarachnolith". Please pick a name with no space and special character (stick to [a-zA-Z0-9]).

• 256x256 PNG image with transparent background of your monster that will be shown in the fight screen - yohan_arachnolith_full.png (must end with "_full")

• 64x64 PNG image with transparent background of your monster, token that will be shown on the board - yohan_arachnolith_board.png (must end with "_board"). The final size will depend on the size of the monster on the board, in multiple of 64.

• 64x64 PNG image with transparent background of your monster, medallion that will be shown on the fight and stats screens - yohan_arachnolith_medallion.png (must end with "_medallion")

• Race of your monster translated in multiple languages (at least en, ru,de,pl,it,es,fr,hu). If you don't want to translate it you will not be able to sell it. You can use Google Translate as a basic translation tool to help you with that.

• JSON file describing your item "yohan_arachnolith.json"

"race" : {

"en":"Arachnolith",

"ru":"Арахнолит",

"pl":"Arachnolith",

"br":"Arachnolith",

"it":"Arachnolith",

"es":"Arachnolith",

"fr":"Arachnolith",

"hu":"Arachnolith"

},

Pick the difficulty class of your monster from 1 - 6. Used specifically for the training Arena, not in the quests & dungeons engine.

"difficulty_class":2,

Give names to your monster [optional]. When the "show monster names" option is activated in the Extras, it will pick one of the names at random. These names do not have to be translated.

"names":["Alwan","Anje","Azibo","Ajin","Ekon","Erasto","Haijen","Hamedi","Hokima"],

Define the size of your monster on the board (number of squares x number of squares). Note that if you put anything else than 1x1 your token image (64x64) must match that size (x64 per side) - ex: for a size of [2,3] your icon image would be 128x192.

IMPORTANT any monster bigger than 1x1 will not be able to move

"size" : [1,1],

Define the base stats of your monster

// Health Points

"body" : 60,

// Mind Points

// This determines which spells the monsters has access to

// EXCEPT for healing spells which have to be manually defined (see below)

"mind" : 0,

// Number of Attack points

"attack" : 60,

// Attack speed (in percentages) - default = 100

"attack_speed" : 100,

// Number of Defense points

"defense" : 60,

// Field of Vision - how far (in board squares) can the monster see

"fov" : 3,

// Not used YET but must be defined

"attack_range" : 1,

"movement" : 1,

Define the sounds of the monster. You can add new sounds to the resources/common/Common/sounds/ folder by dropping a ogg file with the name damaged_XXX.ogg and die_XXX.ogg (replace XXX by the unique name of your sound - ex yohan_ouch). You can see the list of sounds available in that same folder.

"sound_ids" : {

"attack" : "",

"defend" : "",

"die" : "die_zombie",

"damaged" : "damaged_zombie"

},

Defining the Magic

You have to explicitely define which potions your monster can use during a fight. The game will not attribute potions automatically to the monster. You can define default potions in your monster file [not recommended] - or you can define it in the quest file itself when adding the monsters to the board.

Simply add a similar json structure to the monster properties:

"potions" : [

{"class":"healing_full","quantity":5}

],

As for spells, you only need to define the healing spells the monster can use during a fight. If you give the monster a mind value higher than 0, the monster will pseudo-randomly pick spells from the list of spells available in the game that he will be able to cast, EXCEPT for healing spells: it would skew the balance of the game very quickly if monsters could freely regenerate during fights.

Simply add a similar json structure to the monster properties:

"spells" : [

{"class":"healing_full","quantity":5}

],

Adding Monsters to Quests

Define the position of the monster on the board

{

// Position of the monster on the board

"tile":"4x12",

// UID/Class of the monster

"class":"yohan_arachnolith",

// Loot (see full section below)

"loot":{"potions":[{"class":"healing_small","quantity":5}]},

// Set to 1 and suddenly your monster will ALWAYS drop loot.

// It will actually drop everything that you listed in the loot section.

"always_loot":1

}

Defining Loot in Quests

You can define the default loot of your monster in the game data file, or define it in the JSON properties when adding it to quests. It can be overriden if needed. The monster may or may not drop any loot when activated. If it does, the game engine will pick one of the items from the loot JSON property.

"loot" : {

// Max amount of gold

"gold":100,

Hero Upgrades

This is the section of the data file that describes the upgrade points needed to upgrade the stats of the hero.

• cost represents the number of upgrade points needed

• add represents the number of points added to the specified stats

"attack_speed" :{"cost":50,"add":100}

},

Registering the items the Hero can use

To make sure that your hero can use the weapons, armors and spells from the game you will need to mod the weapons, armors and spells files that your hero can use. Create a copy of each of the files into the proper folder hierarchy for each file into your mod folder (for Weapons it would be %MODFOLDER%/resources/common/Weapon/), and remove everything except the heroes list, remove the content of the list and add the id of your hero into it:

{

"hero":["yohan_beastmaster"]

}

Before you read further you should complete the game or risk spoiling it by having access to all the quests inner secrets :)

Now that it's done, you should first download the latest quests pack, while it's downloading, continue reading...

1. Create a new Excel file using a template or an existing quest

2. Pick a board OR create a new board for your quest

3. Create the quest on the XLS worksheet by dropping icons on the board, defining all the loots, furnitures, and other items on the board and secrets that the hero can discover

4. Translate the quest game data file in JSON

The JSON translation step is quite tedious at the moment. And hopefully the game does well enough that I can build a proper quests editor but for the moment we will have to make do with the XLS sheet and the actual resources files about implementation details.

If you've created monsters and other items for the game you should already be able to read these files. If not, I recommend that you read the other pages on this site first to familiarize yourself with the game data files format.

Important once you are done creating new quests and campaigns, you will need to add the campaign to the list of campaigns in the misc_values.json file
