This is a critical update that fixes quite a few bugs thanks to playing the game in Windows 8 with the -dev switch. There were quite a few things that I thought were working before, but apparently weren't. I've now fixed every issue I've discovered. I'm going to keep playing with the -dev switch until I finish my current Paladin play through (he's only level 6 so I got a ways to go).

I've also gone through the *.LOC files and increased the probability of getting rare units as well as added the possibility of being able to buy certain containers (i.e. eggs, seeds, etc.) at various shops. I've just started playing a new game and so far the extra variability gives you an opportunity to get some more varied units early in the game to try them out. For example, Druids are now much more of a possibility in Darion. You also now should be able to find Royal Thorns and Ancient Ents in your game, whereas before you could have a game without these units. NOTE: If you want to take advantage of the changes to the *.LOC files you must restart since the game engine only uses them when you start a new game and stores their information in your save game file.

I've also implemented variability to the containers so that there is a possibility of getting all variants of a unit type from a container. For example, Spider Eggs now have a chance to produce Cave Spiders, Venomous Spiders, Undead Spiders, or Fire Spiders; Snake Eggs now have a chance to produce Snakes, Swamp Snakes, or Royal Snakes. Also, certain containers now have the possibility to produce their higher level variant after acquiring a certain amount. For example, Thorn Seeds now have a chance to produce a Royal Thorn if you have 47-76 seeds. The probability increases until you have 76 seeds, at which point you'll always produce 1 Royal Thorn for every 76 seeds you use (technically it is a random number of seeds between 47-76 so it is possible to get 2 Royal Thorns with 94 seeds if you're lucky or 152 seeds if you're unlucky). You can still produce Thorns / Thorn Warriors, but you have to use fewer than 47 seeds at a time when you do. This gives quite a bit of variability to these containers, plus since you can resupply your troops without a shop, there now is a slight advantage to using units that you can replenish with a container. NOTE: You must either 1) collect or buy another of these items or 2) restart if no more are available for the change to take effect.

I removed the Leadership Reduction counter limits since they cannot be implemented.

I improved the AI of certain unit abilities like the Royal Thorn Entangle, the Furious Goblin Throw Axe, and Web, for example.

I've made some improvements to some animations here and there (like the Ent / Ancient Ent Summon Plant when summoning Ents / Ancient Ents).

Ice Thorns now are treated like enemies and so ranged units cannot use their ranged attack when adjacent to one.

The download link is at the bottom of the post - thanks for trying out my mod!

I'll keep working on fixing the bugs as I find them, but to my knowledge there are no known crashing issues.

Here is the detailed list of changes:

great i test your mod i begin a new game in impossible

Sir Whiskers · #3 01-27-2013, 02:59 PM

Unfortunately, I can't get this to work.

1) Start new game
2) Enter Training area
3) Attempt to save or talk to Richard = crash to desktop

It doesn't matter which hero I use, nor whether I rename the hero.

I was able to test an earlier version of the mod very thoroughly, so I'm a bit stumped as to what is happening. I uninstalled your mod and the game runs normally.

Any suggestions?

***EDIT***

I've found a critical error with this version. If you started a new game with this version and want to marry Neoka, there is a strong possibility that the game will crash because of an error in the unit list when marrying her.

The error is that I specified "druids" instead of "druid" in the unit shop list and so it is looking for DRUIDS.ATOM. So the fix (provided below) is to copy DRUID.ATOM to DRUIDS.ATOM and put it into the mods folder. This is what is included in the ZIP file.

You can then marry Neoka, but don't buy the DRUIDS.ATOM units (their picture will be blank). This is the only way I can fix this problem since the unit shop data is in the save game file. You can continue your game after this (this is exactly what I've done) with Neoka and everything should be okay.

If you restart your game with the newer release, this problem is fixed.

I'm hoping that there are no more of these crashing type errors, but I'll do my best to review the changes I made to the *.LOC files and look for errors that might cause a crash during certain events.

***EDIT***

Okay I've found the problem and fixed it.

I want to apologize for releasing the mod in that state, I guess I got in too much of a hurry to release it last night.

Okay, the error was I had incorrectly implemented a couple of the Griffin Egg possibilities in ISLAND_1.EMBRYOS.LOC. Those errors have been fixed!

I also added one more change that I had forgotten to implement and that was to give the Necromancer Dwarf a chance to sell Skeleton Graves and Vampire Coffins.

Here is the detailed list of changes:

Version: Beta 2013-01-27 - ***CRITICAL UPDATE***

*.LOC
- ISLAND_1_EMBRYOS.LOC (Western Islands) - ***CRASH TO DESKTOP*** fixed error of Griffin Eggs improperly implemented (thanks to Sir Whiskers for pointing this out!)
- KORDAR_2.EMRYOS.LOC (Kordar)
  - Now has a 50% chance to sell Skeleton Graves (30:60)
  - Now has a 25% chance to sell Vampire Coffins (10:25)
*.LUA
- SPECIAL_ATTACKS.LUA
  - ***BUG*** Fixed duration being string in special_bless_attack (thanks Windows 8!)

Short list for a change!

Thanks again to Sir Whiskers for promptly listing the problem!

I've removed the update since it includes a crashing problem, but provide a temporary fix here:

Yep, the mod works now. Thanks.

I'm not sure the creature containers are working as intended. I modified the hero.txt file to add some to my start and none showed any variability (no twins, no different results). To further test, I tried:
1) after finding/buying several in Greenwort
2) after traveling to a new area on the first island

But the results didn't change.

Thorn Seed = Thorn Hunter (or Royal Thorn, if using multiple)
Dragonfly Egg = Fire Dragonfly
Spider Egg = Venomous Spider
Snake Egg = Snake
Coffin = Skeleton
Carved Coffin = Vampire

I've been getting variability, but can you do me a favor and add, say, 10 Spider Eggs and 10 Snake Eggs to your HERO.TXT and then start a new game and try to use them, but only 1 at a time and 1 after another.

So use only 1 egg at a time and let me know if it is the same every time.

I actually was using the code that they had setup for this, but there wasn't variability and so I changed it and it seemed like it was working, but I'm still using a part of the original code that doesn't quite seem totally random to me.

So try that, note that for twins the possibility is really low (3% for Dragons and 6% for Griffins).

I performed such testing in my first game and no variability/twins after using a couple hundred containers. However...

I started a new game and some of the containers gave different results (fire spiders, lake dragonflies). I started a third game, and again some containers gave different results (skeleton archers). But within a specific game, the results never varied.

So, it appears the random function is working fine when the game starts. I suspect it will also kick in whenever I find a container (not buy). That would match what I saw in AP/CW, where modifications to the Item_Monster file would not take until I found a container of the type I had modded. If that's the case, then I would guess that the random value is being saved in the game and not changing until certain trigger events.

I'll keep testing the containers at various points to see if they change within the same game and let you know.

[*]Added dragonfly_wings macro to show the number of Dragon Fly Wings you have when selling them to Maria.

A minor bug here. The dialogue always shows zero wings available when selling, but she still trades 3 crystal for one wing.

MattCaspermeyer · #9 02-01-2013, 06:06 AM

***EDIT***

Okay, I checked to see if I updated all the EN*.LNG files and all their dates and times match the ENG*.LNG files, so that's not it.

Is this in a new game or an old game?

I have not had any problem with this in a new game, but I have not tried an old game.

Hmmm... you know, does your version use EN for the *.LNG files?

I'm going to have to check to ensure that I created a new EN for each ENG that I edited.

I do this manually, but need to come up with a way to do this automatically.

It's possible I forgot to include the corresponding EN for an updated ENG LNG file...

Okay, I've been continuing to playtest and have started to accumulate a list of errors that I need to fix:

Looks like I didn't test this out - setting this flag makes them *your* enemy, not the AI's. So, for example, Zerock's Quake destroys all your Ice Thorns.

I've also been experimenting more with the containers and I've changed the code to use a different randomizer as I think the one I was using wasn't totally random.

Here is the list of changes for an upcoming release:

Version: Beta 2013-MM-DD

*.ATOM
- DEVATRON.ATOM - reverted to previous version until I figure out how to make it prevent ranged troops from attacking when adjacent to it
*.LNG
- EN(G)_CHAT_0170292983_0979371428.LNG - fixed minor grammar error
- EN(G)_WIVES.LNG - added baby macro to end of wives for showing victories to next birth
- TEMPLATES.LNG - added new baby template
*.LUA
- ARENA.LUA
  - Fixed error of your unit Critical Hit not being affected by Morale changed during long combats
- ITEM_HINT.LUA
  - Added capability to display number of wins before your wife's next baby
- ITEM_USE.LUA
  - Updated "objuse_spawn_troop" to use different code than the built-in code to randomize the units per the percentages listed
- SPELLS.LUA
  - Fixed error where Battle Cry was not affecting your unit's Critical Hit positively
- SPIRIT_THEROCK.LUA
  - ***BUG*** Fixed sequence of damage timeshift (thanks Windows 8!)
- TEXT_GEN.LUA
  - Fixed error with display of your unit's Critical Hit using hero's Defense instead of Attack for bonus
- UNIT_FEATURES.LUA
  - Fixed error with Bone Dragon's Dread not dropping your unit's Critical Hit due to the Morale decrease
*.TXT
- GERDA_BABIES.TXT - fixed missing count on sp_duration_stone_skin for Labetha (thanks Windows 8!)
- NEOKA_BABIES.TXT - fixed missing count on sp_duration_ice_serpent for Alagar (thanks Windows 8!)
- RINA_BABIES.TXT - fixed missing count on sp_duration_stone_skin for Xsi (thanks Windows 8!)

Okay, that's it for now, I'll update as I find more and please let me know if you find other issues...

Thanks again for trying out my mod and I hope you're enjoying it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
