Era of Magic (EoMa) 4.6.2 - now on Ko-fi!

[SilverHx]

Hello, new user here.

Let me say that your era is really the best MP era I've tried. Thanks for your contribution

I've found (and fixed) a bug in the "sculpt" ability. Basically, when used defensively, it petrifies the attacker forever. This is because attack_end does not trigger. Adding this to the sculpt.cfg worked:

Code: Select all

[event]
    name=defender_hits
    first_time_only=no
    [filter_second_attack]
        special=sculpts
    [/filter_second_attack]

    [filter_second]
        type={TYPE}
    [/filter_second]    
    
    # Record information about the stoning
    [set_variables]
        name=sculpt_unit_information
        mode=append
        [value]
            id=$unit.id
            turn_of_unstoning=$"($turn_number| + 2)"
        [/value]
    [/set_variables]
[/event]

However, due to how the unpetrify event triggers (start of turn), this can cause the attacker unit which was petrified to be unpetrified before two turns elapse. Consider the following situation.

Turn 1-1
Turn 1-2
Unit A from side 2 attacks sculptor from side 1, will unpetrify on turn 3-1 (start of turn 3)

Turn 2-1
Unit A still petrified
Turn 2-2

Turn 3-1
Unit A unpetrifies before its turn, leaving it vulnerable to attacks.

So I made a fix (which I shared between me and my friends) that makes the unpetrify event trigger exactly after two turns, regardless of the side. This is my sculpt.cfg.

Code: Select all

#textdomain wesnoth-Era_of_Magic

#define WEAPON_SPECIAL_SCULPT TYPE
    [petrifies]
        id=sculpts
        name= _ "sculpts"
        description= _ "Sculpt:
This attack petrifies the target, turning it to stone for two turns. Units that have been petrified may not move or attack."
    [/petrifies]
[/specials] # a hack to please wmlxgettext (using a bug in wmlxgettext!): dummy tag start: [attack]
[/attack]

[event]
    name=attack_end
    first_time_only=no
    [filter_attack]
        special=sculpts
    [/filter_attack]

    [filter]
        type={TYPE}
    [/filter]

    # Record information about the stoning
    [set_variables]
        name=sculpt_unit_information
        mode=append
        [value]
            id=$second_unit.id
	    side=$unit.side
            turn_of_unstoning=$"($turn_number| + 2)"
        [/value]
    [/set_variables]
[/event]

[event]
    name=defender_hits
    first_time_only=no
    [filter_second_attack]

        [value]
            id=$unit.id
	    side=$unit.side
            turn_of_unstoning=$"($turn_number| + 2)"
        [/value]
    [/set_variables]
[/event]

[event]
    name=side turn
    first_time_only=no

    {FOREACH sculpt_unit_information i}
        [if]
            [variable]
                name=sculpt_unit_information[$i].turn_of_unstoning
                less_than_equal_to=$turn_number
            [/variable]
	    [and]
		[variable]
			name=sculpt_unit_information[$i].side
			equals=$side_number
		[/variable]
	    [/and]

            [then]

                [unpetrify]
#ifdef WESNOTH_VERSION
                    id=$sculpt_unit_information[$i].id
#else
                    [filter]
                        id=$sculpt_unit_information[$i].id
                    [/filter]
#endif
                [/unpetrify]

                [clear_variable]
                    name=sculpt_unit_information[$i]
                [/clear_variable]
            [/then]
        [/if]
    {NEXT i}
[/event]
[+attack] # a hack to please wmlxgettext (using a bug in wmlxgettext!): dummy tag end: [/attack]
[+specials] # a hack to please wmlxgettext (using a bug in wmlxgettext!): dummy tag end: [/specials]
#enddef

Hope this becomes the official fix

Bug report.
Wesnoth 1.10
No other add-ons, only just downloaded EoMa

Spoiler:

Looks usual... Wait. Where is Kirios 100% arcane resistance? oO Hey, who is there?

Spoiler:

(sorry for that circus, I had a bad day)
So. Neutral Summoner aura completely removes any positive magic resistance. 100% -> 0%, 70%(Ghost, default era) -> 0% etc. 10% and lower reduced normal.

Spoiler:

Also, runic aura don't decreases, it makes -99% resistance. 100% -> -99%. Poor Kirios, he was murdered by Mage of light in 1 turn... x)
Resistance bonuses from Runic and Heavy Summoner auras works correctly... afaik

..
Your era and campaign is awesome ^^

Edit: Happy Birthday, EoMa ^^

What does the awake trait of the inspired unit do? It's info window is completely blank.

[terrafin]

Is there any plans to make campaign's for all the other races? I know lands to unknown was made in 2010. I'm new to campaign making but this would be great to try to make a few more. Who should I contact for permission to use this era or help with one in the making?

I8 is the author, but he's on Wesbreak (IIRC); Espreon is the era's (and TLU's) maintainer.

your icon is ammusing. Actually "道珠" makes sense for nothing, guy...

Wayirr posted a rather beautiful portrait for the Water God, by one Saurrian, in TLU's thread.

I made some changes (in red):

summoners-magic.cfg

recruit=I8 Ak_Summoner,I8 Ak_Enchanted,I8 Ak_Jinn,I8 Ak_Rhami,I8 Ak_Elemental_fire,I8 Ak_Elemental_water,I8 Ak_Elemental_air,I8 Ak_Elemental_earth,I8 Ak_CamelRider,I8 Ak_CarpetRider

summoners-masters.cfg

dimensional_gate.cfg

advances_to=I8 Ak_Rhami,I8 Ak_Elemental_fire,I8 Ak_Elemental_water,I8 Ak_Elemental_air,I8 Ak_Elemental_earth,I8 Ak_Enchanted2

anyway, if I played with this changes online, wouldn't there be any problem right?

[Alarantalara]

The first time you recruited any of the units you added in red, the game would go out of sync with other computers. So it would only not cause problems if you play games that involve no other human players.

Because they haven't your modified version of Era of Magic.

[Frank-95]

yes but.. I only changed two little things without modifying anything about era's logic or units.

however I changed them again

[Dugi]

Altering the recruit lists causes OOS errors in any case. The sides are different, so the checksums would not match. Allowing liches advance to ancient liches cases OOS errors when you recruit Dark Adepts, and this is pretty much a larger change. There is almost nothing you can change without causing OOS errors when other people don't have your version of the thing.
The thing you have changed is pretty much similar to allowing the recruitment of spectres for the default undead faction, that would obviously be cheating, so this kind of thing is made to make OOS errors.

[terrafin]

is they a place where i could play the other races? I only see one senario using EoMa

[Ravana]

Is it intended that:

growing fury

Always sets damage to 7 after attack, no matter what it was before, so all damage upgrades are lost

grenade

Does always same amount of damage to units around target even when damage is higher than normal, gets no xp from 2. kill

beam

Does always same amount of damage (at least if not slowed) to 2. target even when damage is higher than normal, gets no xp from 2. kill

cleave

Does always same amount of damage (at least if not slowed) to other units even when damage is higher than normal, gets no xp from other kills

Also, can you explain in which cases awake works, because it has happened while inspired is not adjacent to that unit, and sometimes even if inspired is dead

My guess is that

Spoiler:

After attack that involves unit adjacent to inspired it is saved, 1 unit from attack you start and 1 unit from attack against you and when saved unit dies then it gets awake no matter where inspired is.
