Imperial Multiplayer Era - version 0.17 released

[Cuyo Quiz]

Oh Gawds, it started... damn.*

*For those unaware, i'm not fond of TC, but TC in something intended to look Roman-esque is blasphemous IMO.

I think the TC'd medals on the Signifier branch are a bit too much. After all, they are supposed to be metalic/mineral medals. Also, i just noticed, why do the Legionnaires have plums on their helmets?.

[Disto]

Unfortunately, we won't be able to use a purple cape, because that would clash with the TC...

Can't you use a color that isnt magenta?

Turin can use a colour which isn't magenta, he can use any of the colours, but magenta is the standard. Eg look at the flag, that's green but it still is tcoloured.

Er... let's put it like this. The Legion will only look good when played as player 1, and maybe player 2 (a blue legion would look odd, but not stupid). But you can always change the number of the side to make it red or blue...

Yeah, that's a good point. I'll un-TC them.

Err... aren't they supposed to?

Purple also works well for the legion.


BTW, I just commited the new arendian art, along with an archer animation I threw together in about half an hour (see below, i'm getting fast at simple archer animations) unfortunately I can't seem to get the animation to work in game, for some reason, so I updated the archer file with what I had done (which contained the timings, which you can also check the .gif below for if you aren't sure of them).

Also, the aragwaith archer and spearman lines still seem to be on short and long range types, I would fix it, but I'm too tired right now, if you haven't done it by tomorrow afternoon (my afternoon, not yours) then I'll do it.

EDIT: Oh, and the kedri desert footman is camoflaged on grassland and dirt (these being he ones that I noticed, there might be more), when the description only says desert and sand.

[unsung]

Err... that was just residue from the earlier Legionnaire. It isn't in the actual unit image, and I've fixed it here.

In this image I've done the Praetorian (which I had to do all over again - the old Praetorian had nothing I could use except the helmet), and I've touched up the Decurion.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to use a purple cape, because that would clash with the TC...

That color actually goes quite nicely with them. The new praetroien is awesome, by the way.

[Ranger M]

Well, since you haven't replied yet I'll fix the aragwaith problem, expect a fix this afternoon.

[turin]

Err.... yeah, sure. Go ahead and try to fix the Kedari bug too.

Ok, I'll try the kedri bug too, but please fix the archer animation if you can, I wouldn't want to waste it.

For some reason, despite the fact that none of the files use short or long, the entire aragwaith faction seems to use those ranges. This is from a fresh svn download after deleting the old era, so it can't be from the files. I imagine that its a campaign from 1.0.2 (possibly A New Order), I'll look into it further.

BTW, I also had a go at fixing the archer animation, but it still doesn't work for some reason. This is the code I am using, can anybody fix it?

Code: Select all

	[attack]
	name=bow
	type=pierce
	range=ranged
	damage=6
	number=3
	icon=attacks/bow.png
		[animation]
		hits=no
		direction=w,e,se,sw
			[missile_frame]
				begin=0
				end=100
				image="projectiles/missile-n.png"
				image_diagonal="projectiles/missile-ne.png"
			[/missile_frame]
			[frame]
			begin=-
			end=-575
			image="units/arendian/archer-attack-ranged-e-1.png"
			[/frame]
			[frame]
			begin=-575
			end=-475
			image="units/arendian/archer-attack-ranged-e-2.png"
			[/frame]
			[frame]
			begin=-475
			end=-350
			image="units/arendian/archer-attack-ranged-e-3.png"
			[/frame]
			[frame]
			begin=-350
			end=-200
			image="units/arendian/archer-attack-ranged-e-4.png"
			[/frame]
			[frame]
			begin=-200
			end=0
			image="units/arendian/archer-attack-ranged-e-5.png"
			[/frame]
			[frame]
			begin=0
			end=150
			image="units/arendian/archer-attack-ranged-e-6.png"
			[/frame]
		[/animation]
	[/attack]

for some reason only the last frame appears.

Probably. Try removing A New Order if you have it installed, and see if the problem still exists.

All I can think of is - why is hits set to =no?

[Ranger M]

I'll try changing both of those, and see what happens.

EDIT: OK, neither worked, well not properly.

Deleting A New Order confirmed that it was the problem, because the Aragwith now don't work, but this comes with it's own problems. Does this happen to anybody else?

putting yes instead of no simply made it occur when he hit instead of when he missed.

[Noyga]

There is no begin timing in your first frame, only a -. Perhaps this eats most your frames ?

What do you mean by "don't work"?

putting yes instead of no simply made it occur when he hit instead of when he missed.

I would suggest just removing that line, so that it occurs both when he hits AND when he misses... unless there's some reason you only want it when he misses.

[edit]
a bit OT... does anyone know if Xan is still planning on doing the Frost Elves?

[Ranger M]

What do you mean by "don't work"?

No unit images, at all, and they still use short and long. I think that there is probably another campaign that uses them which is leaking into the imperial era, I just need to find it.

Thanks, this worked (I can't belive that I missed that out.) I'll commit that fix tomorrow along with another one or two changes.

Well.. I'm going to college within the next two months, so I don't know if I'll have time.
