Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Modding Strange concept

Hi all,

I'm professional developer and think about start to put some mods around specifically in crafting.
And after some research i realized that all items in game must be predefined.
So if i want to create for example a custom ring with magic missle as a effect for it i can't do it in runtime
instead i need to:
1 create mod for it
2 define item with all specs upfront
3 choise not occupied uuid
4 load it before game starts with mod manager

So such concept as hey - i got a ruby ring lets add some gold put a scroll and RNR god together to forge a ring with it - nada... not possible in bg3 modding concept.

I always stand for reusability and optimization. Having millions of predefined rings because you can't just create them on the fly..... nice job

BG3, like most big rpgs are not action rpgs like diablo with random loot.

its not about random loot but more aboutcrafting on create items on fly

yes an no... there is already a necklace of magic missile in game so you could copy [adjust] that code without too much stress
