    Tiamat-worshipping sorceress

    I doubt this will work for clerical characters because there'll still be the problem of domains. However, if you're interested in having your non-cleric character worshipping a custom deity, this is what you have to do:

    Stick the following file in your ToEE/data/rules directory (create it if necessary): http://site.voila.fr/toeefiles7/rules/deity.mes
    Put this file in your ToEE/data/mes directory (create if necessary): http://site.voila.fr/toeefiles7/mes/deity.mes
    Their names are identical, so don't get them confused.

    Add whatever deity you want to those files. All you have to do is look at the other listed deities and copy the process. However, I don't recommend editting one of the built-in deities because that might adversely affect the game. Best to make a new entry.

    Now create a new character like normal. In order to get your custom deity, you'll need to hex edit the character file. During the character creation process, try to select as high a numbered deity as possible, eg. Wee Jas or Yondalla, because it'll make it easier to hex edit later. Open the appropriate ToEEPC file in your ToEE/modules/ToEE/players directory with a hex editor (best to make a backup copy of the file).

    Use a deity.mes file to find the number corresponding to the god you selected for your character. Convert to hex and search for it. The value representing the deity should be the last one in the file. For example, if you selected Wee Jas (deity #18, hex value 12), the right value to edit is the last "12" in the file. Change that number to the hex value of your custom deity. Load the game and choose New Game. If it crashes, then you messed up. Use a backup copy and try changing another number that corresponds to your original deity's hex value.

    Would it be actually possible to add more Greyhawk gods to the game, with all the domains etc, to be selectable in the actual game?

    There are two problems with adding more deities:
    1) I don't know in which file domains are associated with gods
    2) the character creation screen will only ever list the first 20 deities

    Maybe the new, added ones would show on the screen, but not in the frame they're supposed to (over the text box and below)...

    But how would you add more buttons? The buttons are part of the UI and thus hard-coded. If instead of buttons Troika had used a listbox or a drop-down list, it probably wouldn't be that difficult to get more deities displayed.
