Hey. I am trying to create a new option of powers for a map I am making but have no idea how. I tried reading tutorials but they are confusing. Is it just a matter of going:

CommandSet GondorSpellBookCommandSet_Override
1 = Command_SpellBookScavenger
2 = Command_SpellBookHeal
3 = Command_SpellBookElvenGift
4 = Command_SpellBookAnduril
5 = Command_SpellBookElvenAllies
6 = Command_SpellBookRohanAllies
7 = Command_SpellBookGandalftheWhite
8 = Command_SpellBookWarChant

???

Or is there more to it then that?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Yes you would have to do more than that. Here I'll post a map.ini spell book code from a map, I believe the code is from a map called Gladiators :thumbsdownsmiley:

You would have to override the special powers and in the order you buy them.

CODE

CommandSet GondorSpellBookCommandSet_Override
1 = Command_SpellBookScavenger
2 = Command_SpellBookHeal
3 = Command_SpellBookDraft
4 = Command_SpellBookAnduril

7 = Command_SpellBookGandalftheWhite
8 = Command_SpellBookWarChant
End

CommandSet GondorSpellStoreCommandSet_Override
1 = Command_PurchaseSpellScavenger
2 = Command_PurchaseSpellHeal
3 = Command_PurchaseSpellDraft
4 = Command_PurchaseSpellAnduril

Wow. That looks confusing but I am thinking most of it is just copied from Gondor to Rohan to Isengard to Mordor just changing the names?

Thanks for that. I will have a play with it and hopefully I can get it! Thanks again.

I have a question, why is it that you can't use "good" powers with an evil faction or vice versa? I've tried copy and pasting the command from one spellbook to another and it works fine if you are just copying from rohan to gondor or something like that. For example i'm currently able to summon ents with gondor or eagles with rohan. But if you tried copying that to mordor and set everything up, like the sciences and all that, it wouldn't work. It makes the radius cursor turn red and you're unable to use the power. I don't get that, so far I haven't been able to find anything that says "this power is meant for the good guys" or anything like that.

Um did you put the commandbutton name in the "GoodSpellBookCommandSet" and "GoodSpellStoreCommandSet" commandsets? And is the for a map.ini or ini mod?

yea i copy and pasted the powers fine that's not the problem, the problem arises when i try to use a "good" power with an evil faction, or a "bad" power with a good faction, it just dosen't let you use the power ingame. you can see it and click it and all but when you go to place it on the map, say for instance, if its a summoning power, the radius cursor turns red, similar to if you are trying to place elven wood and you don't have enough land.

If you look in system.ini all the behaviors are under "EvilSpellBook" and "GoodSpellBook", try copying and making a new power and placing them under the right spellbook. This might be because in the playertemplate "SpellBook = GoodSpellBook" is in the template of the good factions.

Thank you very much!

Ya i knew that i had to add info to system.ini but i never noticed the "object" fields. I'm used to modifying objects and know that if you need to modify an object all you have to do is change or add behaviors to it. But the thing is, i thought that system.ini was just a list of behaviors that can be applied to something...

anyway, enough rambling, my powers are working fine now, for all factions, again, Thank You!
