Changing initial equipment/weapons

[afayyad]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew how to change, say, the initial starting equipment of a fighter. I looked through a good amount of the game files and read through options_guide.txt, but I couldn't find anything that pointed me in the right direction. Is there any way to, say, make a fighter begin with Chain Mail and a Buckler instead of Scale Mail and a Shield?

Thanks!

I think it's in ng-setup.cc

EDIT: Yes, I changed SCALE to CHAIN in that file, and MEDIUM to LARGE a few lines later, recomplied, rolled a Human Fighter, and started with chain mail and buckler.

Hmm.. I can't seem to find that file. I'll keep looking for it though, maybe it's named something else on Mac OS.

It's a source file, you probably haven't downloaded the sources. Making such a change implies recompiling the game of course. Starting equipment can't be an option.

If you're willing to play with better equipment from the start, it's easier to just give it to yourself in wizmode than to recompile for each change.

I just wanted to play with some of the settings, and now that I've downloaded the source files there's a lot I can experiment with. Thanks!
