Okay, Woodmouse, here are a few tips on how to improve your modules:
-Whitebeard's Avenge-ing should not be a Starter. It should be a sidequest available only to G'nomes.
-Samuai Starter: Katanas pack too much knock-back. Really.

It IS a sidequest.
I thought....

Oh, and the Samurai needs wwwaaaayy more work before we start doing a starter on any serious level, in my opinion.

For starters, it could use a unique model.
(traditional helmet with cool horns, or just a topknot)

Are you sure it wasn't accidental?

Hmm... It plays more like one since you cannot choose your own G'nome earned from the G'nome Starter itself.

Well you can make it non-starter for starters. Laughing

Don't worry about only G'nomes yet.

I think the only to make the module valid for one type of character is to use the quest system. This system stores certain info with each character. The module unlock system stores info in the menu.txt file of each module, so you can't use it to lock out all characters from a certain module...

The quest system is a lot more flexible. Here is a way that MIGHT work...

change the gnome.mod/objects/bosslump.obj/script.txt to

It won't work... It just says script error...

That is because you do not use the latest build from the trunk.

Anyways, I made it so that modules that need a specific IDSZ and do not find it in any of the selected player's Quest.txt or in a specified module idsz, it will simply stay hidden, like any other unlockable module.
