Legend of the Invincibles

[lynx]

Oh, right, my bad.

[Dugi]

I have released a new version. I was forced to do it, because the previous one could not even load on 1.11.7 that was released yesterday.

I have solved RaustBD's problem by adding a new advancement of Master at Arms, a unit simply named Champion, a strongly defensive fighter (he's an alternative to Shadowalker). Otherwise I just fixed a few possible annoying things.

Full changelog:

Code: Select all

3.0.6 (development/maintenance)
Fixed the 1.11.7 only instant crash problem
Added a new unit: Champion, a new advancement of Master at Arms, a really defensive alternative to Shadowalker
Made the autorecall in chapter 5 work like it works in chapter 9, thus removing the unpopular 'Devour' menu option
Enemy units sharing the same graphics as some default units (chapter 5's hybrids of steel, chapter 7's corrupted beings, chapter 8's demon infiltrators) now have an aura that makes them visually different
On wesnoth 1.11.7, opening the inventory hotkey defaults to Shift+I
Fixed some lesser bugs

i tested and the hotkey thing doesn't work like that.
i suppose you have to use lower latters in the 'key' attribute.

[Dugi]

I have tested it and it worked on my machine.

[RaustBD]

Awesome, can't wait to try out the new update. Will that complicate the save file issue?

[gfgtdf]

I have tested it and it worked on my machine.

but it didn't work on mine.
im getting

Code: Select all

[hotkey]
	alt=yes
	command="wml_menu:xx_unit_info"
	key="unknown key"
	shift=yes
[/hotkey]

generated in my preferences file.
you can write

Code: Select all

[default_hotkey]
   key=i
   shift=yes
[/default_hotkey]
or
[default_hotkey]
   key=I
[/default_hotkey]

but

Code: Select all

[default_hotkey]
   key=I
   shift=yes
[/default_hotkey]

doesn't work, at least not for me.

note that default hotkeys are only applied the first time the hotkey is set, if you change the default hotkey after the hotkey is set the default hotkey will have no effect.

[Dugi]

Will that complicate the save file issue?

No, it shouldn't, supposing that you just overwrite all changes by the update.

but it didn't work on mine.

Ah, you mean the xx_unit_info thing. This one didn't work, I could not get it to work, so I didn't even tell that I was adding it. But Shift+I for inventory did work, so I don't think that the use of a capital letter was the problem.

[RaustBD]

No, it shouldn't, supposing that you just overwrite all changes by the update

Nice! Can't wait for the fixed save file then!

And also I guess this means my highlander weaponmaster should be made into a champion to fix that ID issue.

[Dugi]

You don't need it. Just overwrite all changes to the files and when you recall your highlander, use the debug mode command unit type=Champion on him, then add or remove something from his inventory. What ID issue?

EDIT: gfgtdf, I tried to change the hotkey definitions from I and C to i and c, it looked differently in the preferences file, but the effect was absolutely the same.

[PawelS]

After upgrading to 3.0.6, when I recall a Shadowalker, he is really big...

[Dugi]

Dammit, seems that I accidentally included the file I modified for RaustBD. I'll upload a fix as soon as I get to Linux. Download the update that fixes it. You can use this file to replace the old file add-ons/Legend_of_the_Invincibles/units/Shadowalker.cfg in your userdata folder (if you don't want to download such a large file). Note that this isn't only a visual issue.

The ID issue where Efraim lost his lawful/chaotic attack traits due to becoming a weaponmaster briefly and can't get plague. You were going to fix my save file so that Efraim was back to normal.

[Dugi]

Have you tried it on the new version? In the modified version, the weaponmaster was still identified as Shadowalker by the game (it actually made Shadowalker look like Master at Arms and be named Weaponmaster), so Efraim is a Shadowalker again and it needs no changes to the save file. The easiest way to make him also get the dagger attack so that he could get plague is to update his properties, that can be done simply by manipulating his inventory, adding or removing an item from him (this will work even after getting no plague because of being a weaponmaster).

By the way, I fixed the issue PawelS reported three hours ago, but I forgot to post about it. Just update the add-on.

No, Efraim is still messed up, doesn't have plague or the lawful and chaotic weapon specials, and he also isn't neutral anymore. I'll try and make it to the end of scenario 10 without the fix, I still have Lethalia's plague, but I really hope scenario 10 puts him back to normal.

PS: The shadowalker is lawful, was that intentional?

[Dugi]

The shadowalker is lawful, was that intentional?

Damn, not intentional. It'll be restored in the next version.
