I applied this topic to change ROTWK background menu into B4ME2 background menu (with Argonaths) but when I finished something strange happens in skirmish ... Every faction has not the line that the selected units have.

I cut and pasted the part of Gamedata.ini without using Macro Renamer 'cause I don't know how to open it, but when I tried to run my mod and I saw that it worked I did't thought at this thing ... Can it be the problem?

PS I didn't add any comments at the file ... Like someone remembers the last time I added them I made a disaster thing

Just have the part you edited (only that part) in it and it should be ok... I think
So your gamedata.ini in the object folder only contains these lines...

GameData
  ShellMapOn = Yes
  ShellMapName = ........
End

[AleAleWitchKing]

Thank you very much, Ridder, now the line appears again!

[AleAleWitchKing]

Another question about that line ... Is it possible adding it at a new unit that is in my new faction?

[Ridder Geel]

You mean that your things dont have the middle clear? maybe you need to edit the decal thing in experiencelevels.ini

[AleAleWitchKing]

Now I have a problem with another line ... the circle around the farms ... In my faction there isn't, I think it's 'cause I used a new colour for my faction when I play ... When I use standard colours (white, blue, etc.) that circle appears, but not if I use black ... Doy u know how to solve this problem?

[Ridder Geel]

Black... because thats the same color as the usual color considered invisible?

[AleAleWitchKing]

It's so, 'cause when I change the color of my faction the circles was visible ... Another thing ... when I choose a map where my factions doesn't start with its fortress but a predefined fortress (Minas Tirith, Minas Morgul, etc.) the game crashes. What can I do to permit my faction to play that maps? Have I to change something in maps or in my faction?

[Ridder Geel]

You need to edit the...
\data\ini\object\CommandSetUpgradeMonuments.inc
You need to add your own upgrade thing in it

[AleAleWitchKing]

I don't find that file ... Is it in ini.big?

[Ridder Geel]

ah no its not sorry That was from my mod, sorry about that
In the civilian folder you find all kinds of ini's in those ini's there are some things that have these lines of code:

//Commandset upgrades based on faction.  This is so the building will produce the proper units when necessary
	Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_CommandSetDwarven
		TriggeredBy	= Upgrade_DwarfFaction
		CommandSet	= DwarvenMonumentFortressCommandSet
	End
	Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_CommandSetMen
		TriggeredBy	= Upgrade_MenFaction
		CommandSet	= MenMonumentFortressCommandSet
	End
	Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_CommandSetElven
		TriggeredBy	= Upgrade_ElfFaction
		CommandSet	= ElvenMonumentFortressCommandSet
	End
	Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_CommandSetIsengard
		TriggeredBy	= Upgrade_IsengardFaction
		CommandSet	= IsengardMonumentFortressCommandSet
	End
	Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_CommandSetMordor
		TriggeredBy	= Upgrade_MordorFaction
		CommandSet	= MordorMonumentFortressCommandSet
	End
	Behavior = CommandSetUpgrade ModuleTag_CommandSetWild
		TriggeredBy	= Upgrade_WildFaction
		CommandSet	= WildMonumentFortressCommandSet
	End
	//End Commandset upgrades

There you need to add your own upgrade behavior thing

[AleAleWitchKing]

Ok ... So I can define a monument commandset for my faction and I can apply it at every monument fortress ... Thanks Ridder

[AleAleWitchKing]

This part of code isn't in ministirithbuildings.ini. Is there a way to assign a commandset at the object that sobstitutes the fortress?

Edited by AleAleWitchKing, 23 August 2009 - 04:19 PM.

[Ridder Geel]

Have you tried searching for parts of the code?

[AleAleWitchKing]

I looked for a voice similar to "CommandSet" but nothing interesting appeared. The commandsets in the file are for the gates, but not for a fortress or something similar ...

[Ridder Geel]

Then in that ini there might not be any "fortresses" (duh)

[AleAleWitchKing]

You're right I need to define a commandset at this tower:
 Tower_1.bmp   518.26KB   60 downloads

For example, if I use Men faction, it has this commandset:
 Tower_2.bmp   566.63KB   81 downloads

but when I use my faction, this is what happens:
 Tower_3.bmp   452.72KB   67 downloads

I looked in minas tirith INI file, but I didn't find the part of code about this object. Do you know which is it? Or the tower commandset is hardcoded?

[Ridder Geel]

Its in the \data\ini\object\goodfaction\structures\men\campsandcastles.ini

[AleAleWitchKing]

Thank U very much, Ridder ... I wanted to ask another thing ... I wanted to generate resources (+25) at my start building ... What have I to add at the part of code KindOf? Is there anything to add at my building INI to make this?

[Ridder Geel]

Does it already generate?
if no... then add this code...

//Money Maker	
	Behavior = AutoDepositUpdate AutoDepositModuleTag
		DepositTiming	   	= GENERIC_KEEP_MONEY_TIME
		DepositAmount	   	= 25
		InitialCaptureBonus 	= 0  // no initial bonus
	End

	Behavior = TerrainResourceBehavior ModuleTag_NewMoneyDeadSpot
		Radius			= GENERIC_KEEP_MONEY_RANGE	// How far we try to claim ground
		MaxIncome		= 0							// If we were to get all we wanted, how much we would earn.  Linear slope to 0 at 0% claim
		IncomeInterval	= 999999					// How often (in msec) we give that much money
		HighPriority	= Yes						// A high priority claim gets to pretend it was there first.
	End
