RPG-MP-Scenerio "Wrath of the Son"

[Luroch_Delkar]

I am moving my previous topic about WML bloating to here where I will post all of the future questions I have while making this scenario. I will start it off with this question.

I am having difficulties with making my own unit. The goal is not to make a completely new unit, but rather modify an old unit to have new movement values, Aka it has 1 movement and all terrain cost's more than 1 movement.

In my _main.cfg I have the code

Code: Select all

{~add-ons/Jailbreak/units/units.cfg}

Jailbreak is the folder my _main.cfg is in.
In my units.cfg I attempted to specify a new movement type with

Code: Select all

#textdomain wesnoth
[+units]
	{~add-ons/Jailbreak/units/IronGuard.cfg}
    [movetype]
        name=stoneguard
        [movement_costs]
            shallow_water=9 
            reef=9 
            swamp_water=9 
            flat=9 
            sand=9 
            forest=9 
            hills=9 
            village=9 
            castle=9 
            cave=9 
            frozen=9 
            fungus=9 
        [/movement_costs]

        [defense]
            shallow_water=90
            reef=80
            swamp_water=90
            flat=70
            sand=80
            forest=60
            hills=60
            village=60
            castle=50
            cave=60
            frozen=80
            fungus=60
        [/defense]

        [resistance]
            blade=110
            pierce=110
            impact=110
            fire=110
            cold=110
            arcane=110
        [/resistance]
    [/movetype]
[/units]

That is all of the code within this file. I have tried it without the #textdomain wesnoth.
I originally had made a unit file IronGuard.cfg from scratch, but since that didn't work I have since attempted to copy the entire Heavy Infantryman.cfg from the core files and then change the file name to IronGuard.cfg as well as change:

Code: Select all

id=Heavy Infantryman
name="Heavy Infantryman"

to

Code: Select all

id=Iron Guard
name="Iron Guard"

Whenever I run the game and attempt to place the unit Iron Guard

Spoiler:

Code: Select all

	[unit]
		x=19
		y=58
		side=3
		type="Iron Guard"	
		id="guard1"
		name= _ "Guard Lieutenant Second Class"	
		role=heavy_infantryman
		hitpoints=44
		facing=sw
		ai_special=guardian
	[modifications]	
		{TRAIT_LOYAL}
	[/modifications]	
	[/unit]

it keeps saying "Unknown Unit" then proceeds to crash the game.
Any help will be appreciated.

There's a much easier way of doing a unit based on a mainline one. Make a .cfg in your units folder and call it IronGuard. Then put in the .cfg:

Code: Select all

[unit_type]
id=Iron Guard
name= _ "Iron Guard"
[base_unit]
id=Heavy Infantryman
[/base_unit]
        [movement_costs]
            shallow_water=9
            reef=9
            swamp_water=9
            flat=9
            sand=9
            forest=9
            hills=9
            village=9
            castle=9
            cave=9
            frozen=9
            fungus=9
        [/movement_costs]

        [defense]
            shallow_water=90
            reef=80
            swamp_water=90
            flat=70
            sand=80
            forest=60
            hills=60
            village=60
            castle=50
            cave=60
            frozen=80
            fungus=60
        [/defense]

        [resistance]
            blade=110
            pierce=110
            impact=110
            fire=110
            cold=110
            arcane=110
        [/resistance]
    [/movetype]
[/unit_type]

Then, put in your _main.cfg:

Code: Select all

#ifdef MULTIPLAYER
...
[+units]
    {~add-ons/Jailbreak/units/}
[/units]
#endif

That should do the trick.

[Luroch_Delkar]

Thanks, that's just what I was looking for. Better actually. Nice quote by the way.

[Luroch_Delkar]

Hmm, I am still having problems.

In my _main.cfg I have the code:

Code: Select all

[multiplayer]
  	# Game Data
	id=Jailbreak
	name= _ "Jailbreak"   
	map_data="{~add-ons/Jailbreak/map/Jailbreak_Map}"
	turns=-1   players=4   experience_modifier=80   description= _ "Use Bob's RPG Era." 
	# Macro Data
 	{~add-ons/Bobs_RPG_Era/files/misc_macros.cfg} 	
 	{~add-ons/Bobs_RPG_Era/files/scenario_macros.cfg}
 	{~add-ons/Bobs_RPG_Era/files/shops.cfg}
 	{~add-ons/Jailbreak/macros/misc.cfg}
 	{~add-ons/Jailbreak/macros/abilities.cfg}
	{~add-ons/Jailbreak/macros/item_placing.cfg}
	{~add-ons/Jailbreak/macros/potion_drinking.cfg}
[+units]
	{~add-ons/Jailbreak/units}
[/units]

in add-ons/Jailbreak/units I have the file IronGuard.cfg which contains the code:

Code: Select all

[unit_type]
	id=Iron Guard
	name= _ "Iron Guard"
  [base_unit]
	id="Heavy Infantryman"
  [/base_unit]
	[movement_costs]
		shallow_water=9 
            reef=9 
            swamp_water=9 
            flat=9 
            sand=9 
            forest=9 
            hills=9 
            village=9 
            castle=9 
            cave=9 
            frozen=9 
            fungus=9 
       [/movement_costs]

       [defense]
            shallow_water=90
            reef=80
            swamp_water=90
            flat=70
            sand=80
            forest=60
            hills=60
            village=60
            castle=50
            cave=60
            frozen=80
            fungus=60
       [/defense]

       [resistance]
            blade=110
            pierce=110
            impact=110
            fire=110
            cold=110
            arcane=110
       [/resistance]

	hitpoints=1
	movement=1
	experience=9999
	level=1
	alignment=neutral
	advances_to=null
	num_traits=1
	description="Those elite guards that are placed to guard an area from intruders."
	do_not_list=yes
[/unit_type]

Later in my _main.cfg I evoke the unit with:

Code: Select all

	[unit]
		x=20
		y=58
		side=3
		type="Iron Guard"
		id="guard2"
		name= _ "Guard Lieutenant First Class"	
		role=heavy_infantryman
		hitpoints=50
		facing=sw
		ai_special=guardian
	[modifications]
		{TRAIT_LOYAL}
	[/modifications]	
	[/unit]

I still get an unknown unit error.

[Reepurr]

Then, put in your _main.cfg:

Code: Select all

#ifdef MULTIPLAYER
...
[+units]
    {~add-ons/Jailbreak/units/}
[/units]
#endif

That should do the trick.

The ifdef is probably the needed bit.

[Luroch_Delkar]

Yep, that worked. Thanks again.
