Knyghtmare's WML problems

[zookeeper]

You don't need to store the unit. Primary and secondary units are automatically stored in $unit and $second_unit, both of which you're already using to retrieve the unit id.

[filter]race= accepts a list, e.g. race="human,elf,dwarf,elf of a different color".

I wrote a charm weapon special for Battlestar’s Scarlet Sea that does what you want, minus the ToD-awareness.

Having the special active only at night could be implemented by adding some filters:

Code: Select all

[dummy]
    ...
    [filter_self]
        [filter_location]
            time_of_day=chaotic
        [/filter_location]
    [/filter_self]
    ...
[/dummy]
[event]
    name=attacker_hits
    ...
    [filter]
        [filter_location]
            time_of_day=chaotic
        [/filter_location]
    [/filter]
    ...
[/event]
[event]
    name=defender_hits
    ...
    [filter_second]
        [filter_location]
            time_of_day=chaotic
        [/filter_location]
    [/filter_second]
    ...
[/event]

Making it last only until dawn is more difficult; I’ll see what I can do.

Okay and acknowledged.

I read that. But, I don't understand Lua, so I'm trying to achieve this using only WML.

I have used both of your tips and suggestions and made this. Still haven't tested this though...

Result: Ability no work

I also tried the one in Scarlet Sea, but that gave a Lua error.

Hm, I created a becharm special for strange legacy. But it works without a secondary filter. Maybe you should first try to make it work and than place special filters.
I'm not quite sure if time_of_day=chaotic works. I never filtered with chaotic (which seems to be the "alignment" of a unit not the time of day), but I always had problems with filtering and saving time_of_day for my encounters. Try to replace that.

You might also need to build a small testing campaign with one scenario, where you are able to recruit units with that special. That works fine for testing and saves time.

You'd need to include this file in your main.cfg.

time_of_day: filter matches only on a given time of day (one of lawful, chaotic, neutral or liminal). Note: chaotic, lawful, neutral and liminal; these are not times of day, these are alignments. To match against 'dawn', 'dusk', 'first watch' etc., use the time_of_day_id key described below.

Thanks 8680, maybe one should replace the link in the wiki, when clicking on "time_of_day". One will just land on that page:

The sidebar is only for tags, as it says at the top. Attributes are documented under their tags, in this case [filter_location].

I have recently tried to separate the episodes of my campaigns. I made sub-folders in the 'scenarios' folder and separated them. I have done the same for maps as well and edited my _main.cfg file to suit the new location. But, I have ran into a problem. The scenarios won't load. I looked at how the scenarios were separated in Legend Of Wesmere, and cloned that method, but still, no avail.

So, I'm attaching some screenshots:

1. What I first did:

2. After I saw how the scenarios in Legend of Wesmere were organized:

what the _main.cfg file in scenarios folder looks like.

I can always convert to the old method, but I want to organize my scenarios more...

Not knowing how those two add-ons are supposed to interact, I'll make a wild guess that the symbol CAMPAIGN_TLB isn't set anywhere.

The add-ons mix together flawlessly.
Nope, I attached that in each campaign tag...

Firstly, don’t include images. Secondly, include scenarios after macros. I don’t know if fixing these will solve your problem, but they need fixing anyway.

Okay, having loaded the macros folder before the scenarios folder seems to have solved the problem. Thanks guys. I still can't figure out why I shouldn't load images. Campaign loads just fine with'em.

[Lord-Knightmare]

Okay, this is third time I have posted about terrain transitions.

I have copied/edited castle and keep terrains for use in my campaign, but I'm facing issues with transitions (especially adjacent mountains)

This what they appear like:

Can someone help me out here?

Have you tried increasing the layer?

Also, it is preferred that each member uses a single WML Workshop thread, rather than one thread per question, so I am merging this with your previous threads.
