Era Of Two Suns

[hart02]

Era Of Two Suns has finally been published to the add on server.It is an Era much like the Archaic era and Era of Myths where you can add the materials to a campaign like a different schedule. It features things that I was planning to use in a campaign at some point along with my modified material. I also plan to write all the code in Lua at some point. I don't know much Lua though so i have included lua files for future use. Any feedback for improvement is welcome especially for factions since I current only have five MP factions.Go Check it out.

The Era_of_Two_Suns folder is completely empty. Try re-uploading it.

[hart02]

Really? How long does it upload an addon to the server? It appears the cli addon manager works
better than the addon gui.I also renamed the pbl file _server.pbl

[mnewton1]

It seems to have all the files now. The Era does not work at all though. First, there are problems with the trolls. Then when you fix that, the whole era just quits BFW. You have a piece of code in there that is wrecking everything. I suggest you remove your era from the add-on server and try to find out what the problem is.

I see what is meant when there is segfault error. but that only happens by its self in the add-ons folder which i tried. I have this in mine right now.

i notice that there are .cfg files outside their add-ons. I am curious as to how that happens.
I just made it a resource addon until i can fix this. I just cant figure it out.

[Pentarctagon]

how long does that take to load?

[mnewton1]

Your era probably requires a file/files in one of those many add-ons. But without that file/those files it won't work. The best suggestion I can give is to remove several files at a time until you get the error. Then find out what file you are missing in that add-on. Keep doing this until you don't get the error.

[hart02]

Or it might be something with my units and not my add-ons

Ok I fixed it. I removed the following
from a config file

Code: Select all

[advancefrom]
        unit=Walking Bones
 [/advancefrom]

I did not have this. of all things. Now try and use it.

In multiplayer content, you must not use [advancefrom] to make a core unit advance to a custom unit. That causes OOS errors whenever two people, one of which has the era installed and the other one doesn't, plays any MP game in which that core unit is recruited or advances a level. If someone has your era installed and plays a default era game where a Cavalryman advances, they see an option to advance to a Cataphract, whereas players who don't have your era installed don't, which obviously leads to plenty of OOS.

So, you need to remove all [advancefrom]s which point to a core unit, ASAP. If you need to have Cavalryman advance to Cataphract, then use [base_unit] to create your own id=EoTS_Cavalryman unit which is identical to the core Cavalryman except that it advances to Cataphract.

0.4 has been released and there is only one [advancefrom] just for the corpse ghoul override. Now all can enjoy and use it. I hope more two sun campaigns can be created using this for i have a variety of units which I am sharing . Pointers on making more factions are welcome.

[Lord-Knightmare]

Every time I load Multiplayer, your era causes an error (mainly unit errors, i.e. advancefroms, etc)
And the game quits immediately.

But I must say:
Your era is more like an era pack more than the era.
And has a vast unit library.
But using separate factions would be a better idea

...sure, except everyone who also wants to play MP using WCs and any other era than yours. Get it fixed.

I uploaded it 8 times already and have done numerous revisions to every file i could find with issues and I am mostly working on a campaign using this add-on and lua. I have not really focused on the multiplayer part much.

[Gambit]

You misunderstand. Your add-on breaks default multiplayer for everyone who downloads it. Please fix this one last error zookeeper pointed out as soon as possible.
