I can't download the mod. It says the file is unavailable. Help, anyone.

[GothmogtheOrc]

Just give it a few minutes, apparently they are still setting it up on their server despite the page being active

No, that's definitely a bug. Somehow we missed it. I've found the typo in the game and am trying to see if there is a way to easily fix it in your copies that you've downloaded (without reuploading the mod).

Edit: hmm, doesn't look like it. I think what I will do is wait a few hours just to make sure no one else finds any bugs and then I'll upload a new version with that fixed.

i can't play skirmish. it loads fine until i click skirmish and it gives a game.dat error can you please help me Gto.

[Florisz]

If I may answer, I think you have played a mod that adds a new faction, like The Elven Alliance, and have played an added faction. Too get it working, either reinstall your game, or delete your skirmish profile in the application data.

Thanks ill try it and yes how did you guess i had that lol

[Florisz]

I've had the same. I was in total panic

Erkenbrand's horn doesn't work. He blows it and the FX plays but it has no effect on the enemies, even those with no EXP.

...Gothmog, you didn't fix that? Jesus, it's been said!

[GothmogtheOrc]

Frodo and Sam are not in the mod. Are you using the campaign? Because the campaign is not supported by the mod either. Which isn't to say it may not work, rather that I have not tested any of the new stuff on the campaign and I will not offer any support if it doesn't work.

Relax Ring. I did look at it and I did fix it. It works fine on my desktop. I just bought Erkenbrand and sent him over towards some Orcs and when I used the horn they started quivering in fear. Not sure what to tell you about why it didn't work when you tried it. What troops did you use it against?

Now that it's been released, I found some more bugs...
-If you hold the mouse over a horde of Royal Guard (not the single unit) the text says "Horde" and not "Royal Guard Horde" or something accurate.
-When Pallando uses Water Blast the Word of Power "buildup" FX shows.
-At one point when I destroyed one of my enemy's castles the townspeople didn't disappear, and thus they were able to rebuild it despite not having any units there.

[GothmogtheOrc]

-Fixed the Royal Guard string.
-The FX is supposed to do that.
-I assume you mean the AI was able to rebuild the castle. I'm not entirely sure how they could do that since the units code explicitly says "NO_BASE_CAPTURE" ( cheating AI! ) but I'd recommend that you just station your army next to the townspeople and kill them off next time just to make sure it doesn't happen again your troops will automatically attack them if close enough. Code wise I'm not sure what else I can do to ensure that it doesn't happen again. I can't auto kill them when the castle is destroyed due to the way they work. Oh, and I know that a human player cannot exploit that bug (I tried) so it only affects the AI. For that matter, are you sure there weren't any other units nearby that they could have used? You're sure it was townspeople?

[Florisz]

What would be nice too, would be that the townspeople would be targetable, so now they just run run run and you gotta be lucky to kill them

[The Lord Of The Bats]

I don't know if this is a bug or not but all the units that are able to mount has Eomer's voice.

GtO, it was a human opponent. And I should have been more clear. They didn't rebuild it, but the capture flag was the player color. Of course, they could have had stealthed units nearby that I couldn't see, so it's possible this is nothing, but I'm not sure. I'll ask if they have a replay to check in on that, though.

[GothmogtheOrc]

-The KoDA pink thing is a bug. But I should be able to fix it easy enough.

@Arborlon Elf: if they didn't rebuild it then what is the problem? It makes sense the the flag turned their color since they had troops nearby, but those troops cannot capture the base and they shouldn't count for victory, and the player cannot control them... so what am I missing that is the problem?

@The Lord Of The Bats: yep that's a bug that I just missed when I was doing the audio. Very simple fix.

@Florisz: while it may be nicer, it actually opens up another whole can of worms with a new set of problems. So I'm going to leave them the way they are.

Thanks everyone for posting these fixes, I'm going to see if I can get all the above bugs fixed and a new version out today that fixes them all.
