Extended Era revived - version 36

I'll put this in as a minor issue - but I think it belongs more in the windsong faction thread. lvl0 sky shards have a proper zoc ellipse when it shouldn't. I've already fixed it for myself by adding the ellipse line in the unit files after unit-image location line:
ellipse="misc/ellipse-nozoc"
ellipse="misc/ellipse"
(Taking the example from the goblin codes:)

=====
Also, are balancing issues addressed in this thread too?

Using the -pre23 release, I notice that the Steppe Orcs seem to have 100000 movement cost over all terrain, and only around 5 mp.

Can I fix that?

Everything works well here (linux with either -pre23 or the SVN version).
You may have a broken addon that also provide those unit.

I use the code

Code: Select all

	[+units]
		{@campaigns/Extended_Era/units/standard/}
	[/units]

to get the units to my campaign. I re-added the pre-23 add on, so that should be fine. I do not have any code that would affect the MP of my units in my campaign. Is there any way that I can ensure that no other add on is messing up my campaign?

That's normal ... You're not doing the things right.
You imported the units, but not the movetypes.
As the movetype aren't found the units have the default movetype = immobile.

The movetypes (and some additional macro as well) are in the races/ directory of the Extended Era.

Btw Noyga you might have already discovered it. I messed up the naming of The new spearman files big time. I can upload a fixed version with the right names of the frames if you haven't fixed them already.

Well i already fixed it... Thanks btw.
There was also one old frame that i deleted.

Harsh words.

OK... I removed all my other add-ons, so they couldn't interfere. Then, I started my campaign. Again, the steppe orcs recruited units with ~6 mp and 100000 movement cost over all terrains.

did you restart wesnoth after the removal?

As i already said, you probably forgot to import the movetypes. Those are in the races/ directory.
If the movetype isn't defined it is normal that you can't move your units.

How the heck do I import the movetypes? (That would make sense. Yes, the movetype is lacking...) I am using a standard [+units] tag now. I think, I am looking in the wrong place in the wiki? Thanks, Noyga.

Sorry. I didn't think you'd be back. By all means, I would be happy to be proven wrong!

But doesn't the art upon which I commented look like a good fit for the Abominations?
