This would have been noticed long before. Aren't that just male pectorals? The female sprite's shirt was deliberately made more revealing to make a visible difference between them.
But, to me it's looks like breasts. Or maybe my eyes are just deceiving me.

I've been wondering, is it intended that if an enemy is killed by an unit besides side 1, it can drop item?

So, at least there's no work done by Dugi... :whistle:

He just told me he might use a Dragon Rider portrait with a dragon if I happened to have some. Unfortunately I'm not capable to franken something like that... :whistle:

I agree that it looks like the males have female breasts, and males are only discernible by comparison/knowing about the females' bare bellies.

Updated character portraits have already been suggested a few times.
There are alternatives available, check SlyVenom's portraits for LotI.
I appreciate his work and replaced all protagonists in the LotI/images/portraits-folder.
And this is my amateurish Dragon_Rider … ;)

Yes.

The male chest was copied from Elvish Sharpshooter. Somehow, it did not look very male, so I had to make the female one clearly visible. Gender matters when you encounter succubi/incubi after all.

But, if we can't differentiate the male one from the female one, we may get confused when encountering succubi/incubi.

I think that it looks good, but the dragon seems to be smaller than it should be. The dragon should be more bigger than an usual horse.

Now that you know that the females have bare bellies you shouldn't have a problem. Even I can do it. ;)

Maybe we're lucky and someone reduces the cup-size on the males. :)

Äh, hüstel, I was under the impression it wasn't a real submission. The dragon's neck/head part needs to be ~three times as big (and the human shrunk).

Hi,

is anyone willing to take a look at LotIMod?

I'm quite new to WML, but the reason there are no item/gem drops at all appears to be that the drop events are not loaded by the mod.

I have tried adding {DROPS ..} macro near {GLOBAL_EVENTS} in _main.cfg of LotIMod but this seems to have no effect (as also my other experiments).

Any ideas / advice?

So I am playing the campaign on PC for the first time and I decided to speed through via debug mode shenanigans to where I was in the iPhone version. I'm encountering this strange thing where lethalia and efraim seem to randomly get damage nerfed on some turns leading to them dealing like 1 damage. Is this an intended thing or some strange bug? Never encountered it on iPhone but I'm wondering if it's associated with my using debug to give advancements and stuff?

This is easy to find. Read the descriptions of weapon specials. Read previous forum posts. Answer is big Area of Effect applies lethargy.

I just decided to get myself a Lunatic Knight. When the Lancer went to level 3, I was given the option of 2 Lunatic Knights to choose from, both seemingly the same. I presume that is a bug.

Other players, is there a reason to have a Lunatic Knight? A Dragon Rider seems far better.

So i'm answering myself, it actually appears to work now (must be the cache?).

Still, the {DROPS ..} line needs to be tuned to actual scenario (enemy sides, drop rates) and also LotI utils/global_events.cfg needs to be hacked if player sides are not in 1-5 (ie, Top_Scrolling_Wesnoth_120 player sides are 8,9).

So to enable item drops for Top_Scrolling_Wesnoth_120 survival i have so far:

1. addons/LotIMod/_main.cfg: added before "{GLOBAL_EVENTS}":

Code: Select all

{DROPS 9 13 (axe,axe,staff,staff,sword,sword,knife,bow,dagger,xbow,spear,spear,bow,dagger,mace) yes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
2. add-ons/Legend_of_the_Invincibles/utils/global_events.cfg: replaced all occurences of:

Code: Select all

#ifndef MULTIPLAYER
                side=1
#else
                side=1,2,3,4,5
#endif 
with:

Code: Select all

#ifndef MULTIPLAYER
                side=1
#else
#ifdef TSW_HUMAN_SIDE
                side=8,9
#else
                side=1,2,3,4,5
#endif
#endif 
Edit: after testing the ifdef above does not seem to work (LotI defines are loaded before TSW defines?), just replace "side=1,2,3,4,5" to "side=8,9" in the savegame, or in global_events.cfg but this will break other maps...

3. there might be something else, need to test,
4. hacking LotI files is bad practice, should be configurable, but that requires some code refactoring i guess...

I have no idea how that could be frankened together.

That is what you get for using debug mode. One of the two will be broken permanently, causing smaller problems until you get rid of him.

I will certainly forget. Please notify me when you make something I could use.

There is no way to come to a universal solution with replacing the stuff inside the #ifdef clauses. It would not be a hard problem to replace it with some variable containing the list of sides. However, how would it detect who is the the player? If it checked all sides for having a human controller, it would prevent making scenarios with a dungeon master. If it was a definable setting, multiple definitions would clash in multiplayer. If it was defined in some prestart event, it would require an extra macro placed in all usual scenarios. Maybe a prestart event that could be turned off with some macro?

@Dugi: didn't you advice to always chose the second? And I don't think there was a way to get rid of those once you have that issue.

I'm not one to rely on charge, so I wouldn't get a Lunatic Knight. I like to have one Dragon Rider, but my cav (1 DR, 2 Prophets, 2 Chaos Riders) is only auxiliary atm anyway.
Spoiler:
I have a cunning plan.
