I have no problems doing this, at least for awhile. Generaly I'm a if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself person, but since I'm not doing anything atm I can hardly be picky. I will want this back later, but for right now, do what you can with it.

I'm about a third of the way through my campain, I'm thinking of wrapping up this set of senarios and publishing the first part so that I can get feedback on it before continueing (after all, the first part of this campain, is almost as long as my other campain altogether, and I'm only a third of the way through)

Well... I would not be taking the EoM away from you, rather I am just putting it in an area where it can be developed more openly.

There was nothing wrong with that sentence (maybe).

Anyway, when I cleanse the EoM and do a few other things will you upload it to the addon server (I will supply you with a tarball)?

I'll take anything that is an improvment. Though I would prefer if you sent the changes to me in some form other than a tar-ball, but if you send in improvments, I'll make my own and update again. (I've got a small list of things that I'd like to tweak but don't consiter enough of a change to warrent a new version).

Would be nice if you gave me a list of any balancing changes for the changelog, but improvments to art, grammer, and code I don't realy need to know about in detail.

Well, there is a better way we could do this, we can work on the EoM simultaneously since it is in the SVN repository.

If you do not know how to use an SVN client it is very easy to learn how to use one.

Would you like me to send the cleansed EoM in a zip file instead?

I would prefer a zip file.

What is better about working on something simultaneously? I don't have any problem learning how to use an SVN client, but I don't see how it is an advantage.

As an aside note: I'm almost ready to publish the first part of my newer campain. When I do, I'd appreciate testers.

Well I need to make tagged versions of the EoM on the repository and I need to make tarballs to host on the CUMC's SF account.

Besides all changes to the EoM should be in the repository.

The advantage is that:
-no need to do any manual distribution of you changes (other than svn commit and uploading to addon server)
-you can edit anything at any time
-you don't have to worry about accidentally overwriting someone else's changes

Not checked whether it was reported before (you don't expect me to read through 68 pages, right?).

The macro AMLA_MONSTER, used for the blood hulk, reads as follows:
"Max HP bonus +5, +1 damage to all attacks, max XP +25%"
The XP increment is missing in the WML though.

(found in file "Era_of_Myths/units/macros/general_utils.cfg", line 211)

Another case of windows-style path names.
in "Era_of_Myths/units/vampires/f2 Marlgoyle.cfg", line 5:
reads 'image="vampires/Marlgoyle.png"', but the file in question is "vampires/marlgoyle.png".

Also, would be nice if you could get rid of whitespaces in filenames. They are mostly ugly since they need escaping on a CLI.
