Gnomes

[Werekracken]

https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/gnomes
Adds gnomes as a new race. They are a distant relative to dwarves and know the location of the Iron Council.

Garden Gnomes have nature skills, but are not necessarily antimagic.
Ensorcelled Gnomes have magic skills.
Tinker Gnomes have tinkers. (only available if you have Embers DLC enabled)
Iron Gnomes have strength and constitution skills. (only available if you have Embers DLC enabled)
Cursed gnomes have hate skills.
Shady gnomes have cunning skills.

All gnomes get:
A second tool slot. (Most tools share a cooldown so it's not amazing to have a second one, but can save your butt by not having to equip a different tool in combat.)
Two generic trees. (If your class also has that tree then you get that tree at +0.3 talent level.)
An extra generic talent point every 10th level.
Special alchemist golems.
size_category = 1, the smallest
life_rating = 9, second lowest tied with halflings
Experience penalty: 10%

Additionally for tinker gnomes:
Your golem can equip tinkers too!
Your golem can use steamsaws, but you probably want to equip the golem with a steam generator.
Steamsaw Mastery is included in Golem Power for tinker gnomes.
Your golem can use both runes and implants.

Comments
There is not much new here. The goal of gnomes is to add more race variety.

A good amount of the gnomish alchemist golem changes were inspired by the "Golem - The Ironbreaker" addon.

The intent with the golems is to have a fun variant and potentially more useful in the mid and late game, and it fits with the gnome theme of cunning and tools.

I'm aware there is another addon named "Let there be gnomes" which was last updated in 2015, but this addon has nothing to do with it. Having never tried that addon I have no idea if there would be compatibility issues if you loaded them both (if you even could load a race addon that hasn't been updated in 6 years /shrug).

Changelog
v1.0.0 Initial release of tinker, garden, and ensorcelled gnomes.
- There is an issue with tinker gnome alchemist where using the "interact with golem" interface can duplicate tinkers. Auto-swap tinkers doesn't work correctly on the golem either. I'm not sure how to fix this...
- Not a bug with this addon: demonologist tinker slots and demon slots don't play well together. The problem is not specific to the gnomes addon.
v1.0.1 Fixed the Ensorcelled Gnomes spell/utility tree so it is properly disabled when silenced.
v1.0.2 Fixed some copy/paste errors between v1.0.0 and v.1.0.1.
v1.1.0 Updated init.lua and put the long description on the Gnomes addon page. Added the Cursed gnomes.
v1.1.1 Changed the overload of golemancy to a superload, which is a better way to do it. (Thanks FL0RENT_.)
v2.0.0 I read somewhere on the forums where DarkGod said that class trees shouldn't be given to races, so I took out class trees. Gave gnomes a second tool slot and +2 Cun. Bumped life per level a little. Added Shifty gnomes.

Hello I love your addon.

By the way for the normal alchemist, their golem has additional abilities. Would it be possible to enable this for the golem of the other addon "the new alchemist"? https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/new-alchemist.

Thanks

[Werekracken]

Hello I love your addon.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear someone is getting some entertainment out of it.

By the way for the normal alchemist, their golem has additional abilities.

The only talent tree that normal golems have and the gnome golems do not is technique/combat-training, is that the additional abilities you are referring to? The problem with combat-training is that Golem Power makes it so the golem can get 10 talent levels in those skills instead of the normal 5, which is pretty overpowered.

Would it be possible to enable this for the golem of the other addon "the new alchemist"? https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/new-alchemist.

I haven't looked at the code for the new-alchemist addon so I'm not sure if it's possible to get gnome golems to work with it. No promises, but I'll keep it in mind to look at it.

[Werekracken]

I took a look at New Alchemist and I won't say it's impossible to make them work together, but it is definitely not something I plan on doing. Sorry.

[Ghostdog]

Hello Werecracken,

well thanks for having a look anyway.

This is what I see when using enscrolled gnome and the standard alchemist together;

I suppose it is quite normal?

[Werekracken]

Yes, that is exactly as intended.

Hello, I really like the mod 2.0 you made, I translated it into Chinese, thanks.

The file name is tome-gnomes translated it into Chinese 2022-2-27.zip

This translation only talents and birth data.

I also put them on google driver:

- v2.0.1 Since they are cousins to dwarves, give them the same life rating. (Gnomes were way too squishy.) And remove the exp penalty because gnomes are definitely not OP.
Text updates for this in data\birth\gnome.lua.

[Werekracken]

- v2.0.2 Added Iron Gnomes. Added the trees they get to their descriptions in the class selection so you have an idea of what you're getting before you choose them.

[Chattius]

A second tool slot...
so it is possible to have extra 20% in reducing spell colldown?

2*tool, boots and meta = possible 90% cooldown reduction? Or 60% if you don't play an archmage or adventurer?

Haven't tried yet, but it would be good if the code wouldn't allow two pickaxes.

[Werekracken]

- v2.0.3 Fix iron gnomes stat description, set starting steam generator and injectors on tinker gnome to be marked for transmutation, and take out safety net lines that prevent classes that don't start with golem from learning golemancy.

[HaleMary]

Trying out this addon, but I'm not getting a golem. Is that something that doesn't show up until later levels? I tried both garden and tinker gnomes, no golem at birth on either. I'm also trying out a bunch of race and class addons so maybe there's a conflict somewhere?

[Syovere]

I believe from the phrasing what was meant is that if they get a golem (from being an Alchemist for example), they have a special one.
