Another day of modding... and I'm down to this!
Found the problem with Isengards fellbeasts too, but thanks anyway Cahik. If I hadn't I would have tried that instead

No new bugs have been found, but I'm still play testing...
So currently we have only this left:

---------------------------------
Beta release Bug Reports...
---------------------------------


MEN
-----
- Aragorns "Elendil" gives no effect? (FX is there, but no effect on the enemy units - they don't flee?)

ISENGARD
------------
- Freezing Rain does not rain? (No FX, no rain, no nothing...?)



Help?

In aragorn.ini do you have
GenerateTerror = Yes
if not that might be the problem

[Nazgûl]

No there's no code like that? But there wasn't before either, and it worked then? Hm, but I could try anyway? Where should I insert it? :s

[zimoo]

Aragorn's Elendil effect is done through LUA.

[Nazgûl]

So in other words, adding that code wont help help me? :/

[zimoo]

It may, but I was just saying that code isn't there normally.

[Bart]

incidentally, the lua file is the same file as where you remove the nazgul from the isengard fellbeast. chances are that something is messed up in there

[Nazgûl]

I see... have no idea how to fix it though... :(

[Bart]

compare with the original (as in BFME 2, not your old mod) files and see what's missing

[Nazgûl]

Boy... thats a LOT of codes to go through in detail, but yeah... It's worh a try! Even though it would be akward if something's missing since I never touched those files before conversion.

And still no new bugs... so these two are the only ones left as far as I know (and hope).

Just thought of something... it can't be LUA, cause I merely copied that file from the original game and added the code for IsengarsFellbeast, then added the file to a Scripts folder in my mod. No other changes were made to the original Lua file...?

[Bart]

Boy... thats a LOT of codes to go through in detail,

*hint* look for "Aragorn"

[Nazgûl]

Mohaha, dude if I was THAT stupid, I'd hardly have gotten this far as I have with this mod, even with this forum's excellent help... *lol*

Off course I've looked for all things "Aragorn" and "Elendil" in Scripts.LUA... but there's no Elendil at all, and the only Aragorn is this:

function OnAragornCreated(self)
	ObjectHideSubObjectPermanently( self, "PLANE02", true )
end

I doubt that is related to Elendil effect? :(


And this is my "new" (converted) code for Freezing Rain...

	Behavior = FreezingRainSpecialPower ModuleTag_FreezingRain
		SpecialPowerTemplate			= SpellBookFreezingRain
		AttributeModifierAffects		= ALL ENEMIES
		AntiCategory					= LEADERSHIP
;		AntiFX							= FX_AntiLeadership; FX for anti category
		AttributeModifierWeatherBased	= Yes
		WeatherDuration					= M_SPELL_FREEZINGRAIN_DURATION
		ChangeWeather					= RAINY
		AvailableAtStart				= No
		BurnRateModifier				= -100
		BurnDecayModifier				= 20
		RequirementsFilterMPSkirmish = SPELL_BOOK_REQUIREMENTS_FILTER
		RequirementsFilterStrategic = SPELL_BOOK_REQUIREMENTS_FILTER_STRATEGIC
	End

+

Water.ini...

#define M_SPELL_FREEZINGRAIN_DURATION				180000

+

Specialpower.ini

SpecialPower SpellBookFreezingRain
  Enum			  = SPECIAL_SPELL_BOOK_FREEZING_RAIN
  RequiredSciences   = SCIENCE_FreezingRain
  ReloadTime		= M_SPELL_RECHARGE_TIME_TIER_3
  InitiateSound	 = ThunderStrikesStereo
  Flags				= RESPECT_RECHARGE_TIME_DISCOUNT
End

See no logic why this does not work either??

These two bugs are giving my headaches!

[Bart]

maybe zimoo knows exactly which part handles the elendil effect

[zimoo]

It turns out Aragorn's Elendil effect isn't done through LUA, although I'm 100% sure it used to be :/

Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_EnableElendil
		SpecialPowerTemplate		= SpecialAbilityAragornElendil
		TriggeredBy					= Upgrade_AragornElendil
	End
	
	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_ElendilStarter						
		SpecialPowerTemplate		= SpecialAbilityAragornElendil
		UpdateModuleStartsAttack	= Yes
		AntiCategory			= LEADERSHIP
		AttributeModifier			= AragornElendilAntiCategory	; Used for the anti category duration only.
		AttributeModifierRange		= 200.0
		StartsPaused			= Yes							; obtained on level 2
		SetModelCondition			= ModelConditionState:USER_3
		SetModelConditionTime		= 10.0; 10 secs of glow anim for sword
	End

	Behavior = ModelConditionSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_ElendilUpdate   
		SpecialPowerTemplate	= SpecialAbilityAragornElendil
		UnpackTime			  = 1400								; Drawing the horn
		PreparationTime		 = 1									; nothing
		PersistentPrepTime	  = 1000								; Blowing
		PackTime				= 1000								; Putting horn away

		GenerateTerror			= Yes
		EmotionPulseRadius		= 180
		ObjectFilter			= ELENDIL_OBJECT_FILTER
		AwardXPForTriggering	= 0
	End

That's the original code for it, compare your code to it and see what's different.

[Nazgûl]

This is my converted code...

; --------- ELENDIL -----------------------------------------------------------------
	Behavior = UnpauseSpecialPowerUpgrade ModuleTag_EnableElendil
		SpecialPowerTemplate		= SpecialAbilityAragornElendil
		TriggeredBy					= Upgrade_AragornElendil
	End
	
	Behavior = SpecialPowerModule ModuleTag_ElendilStarter						
		SpecialPowerTemplate		= SpecialAbilityAragornElendil
		UpdateModuleStartsAttack	= Yes
		AntiCategory			= LEADERSHIP
		AttributeModifier			= AragornElendilAntiCategory; Used for the anti category duration only.
		AttributeModifierRange		= 200.0
		StartsPaused			= Yes						; obtained on level 2
		SetModelCondition			= ModelConditionState:USER_3
		SetModelConditionTime		= 10.0; 10 secs of glow anim for sword
	End

	Behavior = ModelConditionSpecialAbilityUpdate ModuleTag_ElendilUpdate   
		SpecialPowerTemplate	= SpecialAbilityAragornElendil
		UnpackTime			  = 1400							; Drawing the horn
		PreparationTime		 = 1								; nothing
		PersistentPrepTime	  = 1000							; Blowing
		PackTime				= 1000							; Putting horn away

;	PackSound			   = 
;	UnpackSound			 = 
;	TriggerSound			= 
;	PrepSoundLoop		   = 
		AwardXPForTriggering	= 0
	End

There ARE some differences yes... Have no idea how they got there though? I will check my original (before conversion) too...

EDIT: just checked the "original" mod file from the folder swap method... and it's exactly the same? I do NOT know why this effect worked before, but obviously it doesn't now, and having this part of the ogiginal code missing IS strange...

		GenerateTerror			= Yes
		EmotionPulseRadius		= 180
		ObjectFilter			= ELENDIL_OBJECT_FILTER

I'll try and ad it to the game at once! Thanks for the tip Zimoo... (even though I should have been smart enough to double check the original file allready) Let's hope this works...

Edited by Nazgûl, 09 March 2007 - 10:42 AM.

[zimoo]

The "GenerateTerror = Yes" is the most important thing missing.

[Nazgûl]

Yes, I just edited my post I'm off to try it out...
(Agree that it's strange that it worked without it before though?)

[Nazgûl]

Zimoo!!!

Thank u for pointing me in the right direction!
Aragorn's Elendil is now not just an FX but also an effect! They run their asses off... again!
And thus - we're down to ONE final bug (since I still haven't forund any others and hopefully I won't)

Only Isengard's FreezingRain left...
I might ad that it DOES work when the AI plays with Isengard, but not when I do?

And this is my "new" (converted) code for Freezing Rain...

	Behavior = FreezingRainSpecialPower ModuleTag_FreezingRain
		SpecialPowerTemplate			= SpellBookFreezingRain
		AttributeModifierAffects		= ALL ENEMIES
		AntiCategory					= LEADERSHIP
;		AntiFX							= FX_AntiLeadership; FX for anti category
		AttributeModifierWeatherBased	= Yes
		WeatherDuration					= M_SPELL_FREEZINGRAIN_DURATION
		ChangeWeather					= RAINY
		AvailableAtStart				= No
		BurnRateModifier				= -100
		BurnDecayModifier				= 20
		RequirementsFilterMPSkirmish = SPELL_BOOK_REQUIREMENTS_FILTER
		RequirementsFilterStrategic = SPELL_BOOK_REQUIREMENTS_FILTER_STRATEGIC
	End

Water.ini...

#define M_SPELL_FREEZINGRAIN_DURATION				180000

Specialpower.ini

SpecialPower SpellBookFreezingRain

*Looks at the top of the page and notices that I suggested u check the generateterror earlier*
That freezing rain thing is weird because I have been checking the files about 5 minutes and to me everything seems to be right :S
