[saroumana]

Hello,

I have made a small mod wich have for goal to increase the randomness of shops in the game.

Note it's for the moment a beta version.


You need to begin a new game.

Well ,well, beware my english is terrible

This mod change a bit how shop generate units. In KB a shop have different slot (let say slot 1,2,3...). For each slot, you can have two different option :

-some definit units or
-a random unit within a certain level of a certain race
or even a combinaison of both.

So i have added differents units or races to many (not all) shops.
Per exemple, when the choice was barbare or berseker, now it would be barbare,berserker,beholder,werewolf. And more interesting, if the unit was random choice of human race,it would now random of human, elf, dwarf or neutral.

In debir, you'll have acces to some elf units,which you will have never use later when you normally get them in elona. It's the goal, having acces to more varied units sooner.

Nice idea, but unfortunately there was a crash to desktop at the third hut on Debir ( the first hut you need to fight to get to ) - so one of the random options there might be bad...

Ok, I did the savegame scanning for you:
Debir Island Sawmills Common Belt 1
Debir Island Sawmills spider_red 120

I suspect the spider_red might be wrong?

I have used a small editor for this ,and grab all unit's image, and well spider_red exist but it's not used in the game. Well i have checked every other units and they're all ok.

Thanks for the info!
I corrected Debir, and checked the other 3 starting islands and found no spider_red references, so I suppose those are ok. ( I use only the first 4 island files)
It's a nice change to use a different army - this way I use units I'd never use otherwise.

So thanks for the mod!
