Re: Campaign: Tale of a Mage
-in 02_The_Plan.cfg, you call for a macro {EVENING}, where's the definition ? (no custom macro and not in schedules.cfg in the core)
-Battle_Prince.cfg has wrong id (and i thought Arand is meant to not being able to advance, and thus didn't put any effort on advancing him...)
in 17_Battle_For_The_Swamps.cfg, don't kill Konrad and Li'sar, then you can just recall them in 18_Orcish_Supremacy.cfg, with x,y as arguments in the recall tag (if that is what you want to do)
also, in 18_Orcish_Supremacy.cfg, you still have to take into account the possibility that the undeads kill the orcish leader; in that case the orcish leader would still become allied with the player, judging from your current code, and the game wouldn`t end (with loss)
i haven't playtested this, though

Re: Campaign: Tale of a Mage
So if this campaign is the new variant of Life of a Mage... That one got an update adding a unit with a space in the name, breaking translation scripts.

Re: Campaign: Tale of a Mage
@Torangan: In response to both this and your old thread. Sorry, I fixed a glitch in 1.4 and didn't think about changing the name. Fixed now. Same with the name thingy. I'll upload as soon as possible.

Re: Campaign: Tale of a Mage
Latest upload. Mages advancing and kids escaping bugs have been fixed and seem to work fine. I haven't tested the rest of the campaign yet and will have to play it through before I can add anything new. Please tell me if you find any more bugs.

Re: Campaign: Tale of a Mage
I suggest to eliminate all problems reported by wmllint now before continuing, my log file still has about 100 lines for your campaign.
(I usually do this manually, a lot of work, but you learn at most this way. It's probably best to run wmllint frequently since starting the campaign and to keep reported problems always at zero.)

Re: Campaign: Tale of a Mage
Are you running it on the core unit files like AI said? Most of the messages were unknown unit. There were only five or six problems reported, which I fixed.Anonymissimus wrote:I suggest to eliminate all problems reported by wmllint now before continuing, my log file still has about 100 lines for your campaign.

Re: Campaign: Tale of a Mage
18_Orcish_Supremacy crashes when the enemy leader starts recruting units which is probably due to the fact that there are no Orcish Bowman (as called in the cfg) but just Orcish Archers.
To bad that it ends with scenario 18 - I just used Eruurk to level Dillon up to level 4 since there is no round limit. By round 105 I also had 4400 Gold and some other nice level 3 units.
For some reason, the Undead leader appeared but did not get a camp. Maybe because a unit of mine was standing quite close to him when he appeared?
I think the scenario has a little to many completly overpowered units - especially the royals and Dillon. That makes the overrun of Weldyn quite unbelivable, Li'sar would have kicked Karims as, especially as we are told that he went straigth to the royal family.
On the other hand, I have my doubts that there is enough opportunity to level the royal children and the three comanders up to a level where you can actually use them so late in the game.
What I also did not like that some leveling uo at the very begining was forgotten in the next scenario and when Dillon leveled up the first time, he lost is icestone capabilities.
What I also don't get: Why was Karim an Assasin at the beginning and not a powerfull necromancer?
And: If you finish 07_Old_Enemies by killing Salin, you can recruit the remaining children in the next scenario. I found it kinda cool, but contrary to the unit discription, the unit can't be leveled beyond level 1.

Re: Campaign: Tale of a Mage
even more work stuffed into skele's throat
the best place to level dillon is the scenario in the cave with the cages...when i was playing on hard the last time Dillon got almost his first AMLA there, and there isn't any limit, too
yes, the campaign is in development and needs balancing but this is a minor problem

Nah, that's just a wml glitch. Scenario 18 needs to be seriously redone.Reval wrote:For some reason, the Undead leader appeared but did not get a camp. Maybe because a unit of mine was standing quite close to him when he appeared?
Well, Karin had been building up his empire for years, and he took Weldyn by suprise. Also Lis'ar is not invincible. I mess with her ai and movement points in A_Daring_Rescue because she kept getting killed when she would take on five level 2 units at once. But yeah I still need to balance OS better.Reval wrote:I think the scenario has a little to many completly overpowered units - especially the royals and Dillon.

Good point. I think considering people leveled Dillon from a peasant child to a royal guard in the first battle scenario we shouldn't have a problem. Only the best players can get the princelings to their full potential. On the other hand the commanders I really only put in their so the fighter-commander-lord set was complete and had a female counterpart. Sorry, OCD. Maybe I need to just chuck them.Reval wrote:On the other hand, I have my doubts that there is enough opportunity to level the royal children and the three comanders up to a level where you can actually use them so late in the game.
That's because he gives the Icestone to Slinian. After he gets it back he hides it for several years. It does help to read the story.Reval wrote:when Dillon leveled up the first time, he lost is icestone capabilities.
Um, he has a hobby?Reval wrote:What I also don't get: Why was Karim an Assasin at the beginning and not a powerfull necromancer?
No really, he's banished for necromancy but he doesn't get really good at it until he spends several years in a spectral state. (he who must not be named )
Uh oh. I better fix that before something bad happens.Reval wrote:And: If you finish 07_Old_Enemies by killing Salin, you can recruit the remaining children in the next scenario. I found it kinda cool, but contrary to the unit discription, the unit can't be leveled beyond level 1.

Yeah, if the upgrade they won't disappear when they move to the escape point, so I created a mod that doesn't advance. And thanks to 1.5's awesome new wml, the mod doesn't show up in the description.
Not much I can say to that.Anonymissimus wrote:

Re: Campaign: Tale of a Mage
i've been playing around with all sensible ai settings here from the ones in the reference wml, attributes that may make the ai play more carefully with Li'sar, like high caution and less agression...it's useless, i believe the reason is her scepter of fire-attack which has too much damageSkeleRanger wrote:Also Lis'ar is not invincible. I mess with her ai and movement points in A_Daring_Rescue because she kept getting killed when she would take on five level 2 units at once.
when the ai starts its turn it notices that Li'sar has a high probability of killing orcish crossbowmen and attacks them instead of orcish warriors (less likely to kill them but no counter damage) as its first action, while a human player would retreat Li'sar as his first action...
maybe permanently set Li'sars movement points to 1 in this scenario ("dialog: her legs have been wounded by the fight")

This was alluded to above, you just have to go into the scenario file and under the side 2 leader, change Orcish Bowman to Orcish Archer.pinguinsteve wrote:Hi there, i encountered a bug in "orcish supremacy", then the opponent starts his turn i get an "unknown unit trait" failure and the campaign stops.
