Modding Resources Thread - Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension

The purpose of this thread is to list important modding resources and where to find them easily so that we don't have a ton of sticky threads at the top of the forum.

GENERAL REFERENCE DOCUMENTS

• Dominions 4 Database (Dom4 DB) - a list of monsters, weapons, armor, magic sites and many more things in the game
• Sprite dumps for Dominions 4.03 - sprites from the vanilla game, extracted by Noblesse Oblige and ready to use

NOBLESSE OBLIGE'S LISTS

Noblesse Oblige has lived up to his name and made extensive lists of various things and their attributes, extracted from the game by script. The data in these lists is more detailed in many cases than in the Dom4 DB, but not necessarily as quick to reference unless you already know what you are looking for. All of these are in the Council of Sages forum.

• Spells and their attributes - invaluable for anyone who intends to do spell modding
• Effects and their attributes - an in-depth look at different sorts of effects, also invaluable to spell modding in particular
• Weapons and their attributes
• Armor and their attributes

There's some threads on dom4mods about sprite resources that might be a useful thing to put in there.

I've been thinking about starting this exact thread recently! Here are some additional useful links:

Modding aids
A Dominions 4 language file for Notepad2 by LeTwan - highlights commands as you enter them, great for error checking.

Mods that are useful for testing
The Debug mod by Larzm42 - Makes all spells and items level 0, adds a few spells useful for testing mods.

Disable Vanilla Spells mod by Noblesse Oblige - diables all the vanilla spells, useful for testing battlemagic.

Non Desura modding links
