In Topic: Theory: Upgrade Limit

11 February 2021 - 08:06 PM

Can the limit of upgrades not simply be increased? Personally, I find it quite a pain that I have to stick to the limit while coding and I prefer to have unlimited upgrades. Did someone try to find out where this limit is imposed? Or how it can be altered?


In Topic: 'Create a Hero' crash upon adding upgrades

08 February 2021 - 03:59 PM

Update:

 

I have found that there is still some mystery in the upgrade.ini file for me. I have also found that this upgrade.ini file is the source of many crashes in my different attempts at making a mod.

Apparently, when I add upgrades after the "CreateAHeroUpgrades.inc" line in the code, I can only add so many upgrades. When I add more, the game crashes for not recognising the upgrades at the bottom of my upgrade.ini file.

Also, when I add upgrades in front of the line "CreateAHeroUpgrades.inc" in the upgrade.ini file, the game crashes in the Create A Hero menu. Possibly because the game no longer recognises the CreateAHeroUpgrades.inc upgrades. 

 

My question then becomes: does RotWK only allow for a certain number of upgrades in the upgrade.ini file? And if so, how can I work around this issue and still add more upgrades?

I see in other mods that they have achieved to add more upgrades, so I should be able to do so too...

 

The issue seems to be related to the problem described in this article: Optimizing Upgrade.ini to avoid crahes\bugs - The 3rd Age - BFME Multiplayer, Modding and Mapping

I however am sure that I will need to cross the limit, since upgrades that I add sometimes have strange build times or build costs. 

 

Does anyone know if this limit of upgrades can be increased? If so, how?


In Topic: Age of the Ring 5.0: World Builder

Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to get the worldbuilder working for your own mod?

I seem to not be able to do this, unless I upload all my modified files in .big files and add them to the game folder. This can be done, but I would have to separate everything into different .big files because otherwise the size of the files causes the finalbig program to crash.

In short: how did you guys manage to get the worldbuilder working for the AotR mod?

Has the issue with the gamedata.ini been resolved yet in your case? In my personal experience, using the -mod command my game doesn't read the modified gamedata.ini file. All other files are properly read. When I add a modified gamedata.ini in the main RotWK game folder inside a newly made .big file, it works for me. Is this an issue you have as well?
