Topics I've Started

AAAAHHH! Where are...

14 August 2005 - 07:51 PM

...Enums defined? I'm trying to edit Morgoth's camera mod. I've found most of the stuff I need, but I can't find where the game defines Enums.

As for part 2, I want to try to make it so the camera has infinite pitch movement, so the player can find the perfect angle for them.

The first part is very n00bish, but i can't find it. The second part can be answered last.

How can I add certain heroes for just one map?

12 July 2005 - 09:15 PM

I'm making a map with only heroes, and I want to know how to add Vapula's heroes to it. I know I have to make a map.ini file, but I have no idea how to do that. What would I put in a map.ini so Vapula's heroes will show up and the game will be normal? I'm not the only person working on the map, but no one else knows anything either. Any help will be appreciated.

Bugs and other stuff like that

10 July 2005 - 09:10 PM

I guess I should make a new topic for this, seing as there isn't one already. ;)

I just played the mod (part of a game as both new factions) and loved it. I did notice a couple of things that need to be fixed.
-Some in-game descriptions for powers(I can only remeber arrow wind in the elves commandset, and buying a mumakil) weren't changed from how they normally are.
-When the dwarf is carrying the beer barrel, it doesn't heal units.
-Once a tent at a settlement was destroyed, I couldn't rebuild anything there. It worked fine with towers though. It may be that particualr plot, the one that's just south of the base in North Ithillien.
-The human's spear throw animations takes FOREVER. And then when some one else kills what he was aiming at, the whole thing starts over. You could make it shorter by lowering the firingduration or preattack delay or something like that.
-When the troll toggles to club and then back to punch, the club doesn't go away until it's just about to attack. When it has already toggled back and forth, and then toggles to club, the club doesn't appear, but the troll acts like he's holding it. Once it attacks, it looks fine.
-When the troll picks up rocks in club mode, it holds both at the same time, but only throws the rocks in punch mode. (notice I like the troll :) )
-I think the find rock button for the troll should be in the weapon set for simplicity.
-When the elf is on his own horse, the idle animation or model is really weird. It also goes to the animation immediatley after being deselected.
-Animations for heroes on boars, the horse for everyone, and wargs look messed up. They're the only ones I've bought so far.
-The animal gaurds don't always stay with their hero. They run off and attack units, and the dog didn't seem to want to follow my nazgul, even with no enemies around.
-The ranged weapons for the human, dwarf, nazgul, and orc remain in the ground after they have died. It looks bad, but it didn't lag for me.

Beta Problems

27 June 2005 - 01:31 PM

When I try to test the beta, it seems to work fine. The loading screen comes up with Elven Alliance on it, so I know it's working. Then I find that there's no new skirmish faction. Only the 4 originals and random. Is it actually part of another faction?

Peasants Throwing Rocks?

21 June 2005 - 12:52 AM

I'm trying to get peasants to throw rocks, and they won't do it. EA left in weapons and projectiles, so that wasn't a problem. I created a toggle button, added it to their commandset, put in code about weapon toggles and the horde stuff from elves, added all animations involving transitions from Merry, and they still won't do it. When I tell them to attack something out of their range, they run to it, once it's in range they stop and run in place and don't attack.

So, these are my questions on it. Is there anything else I would need to add? I could have easily not noticed something important. Do I have to do something else with the animations, other then put them in object code?

I've looked at everything from elves and hobbits about toggles, and nothing happens. Any help will be appreciated and credited.
