Yes, I understand that.  Do you mean that you meant to put the mention of hitpoints above?

Okay, so it was there to be different from the base files.

Unitstats that have <Hidden>1</Hidden> still show up in the Hiergamenon:

Here is one that crashes the game everytime and they really need to fix. If you have a stategic spell with a large radius for the target effect (radius tag of 10+) and you are too close to the edge of the world on the map, the grid it places on the 3d map gets corrupted spraying whiteish lines everywhere. This is followed by a crash to desktop. Another effect is if it draws said grid and you are far enough off the edge, the grid does not go away after the casting.

The modifier is from a piece of equipment. The ability you can find in CoreSpells.xml

Is anyone having success using the percentageHitpoints tag in a spell? I have a spell with two equal effects in gamemodifiers with one using a 50% percentagehitpoints tag. Problem is both trigger regardless of hit points.

I have created variants of the throwing knives, axes and javelins, that I thought I gave correct modifications to but now don't seem to be working as intended. I have included the item xml and the spell xml it references here:

item:

spell:

I have modified the knives to have a distance of 4, cooldown 2, (no damage change)... axes 3/3, javelins 2/3 (with damage changes for both)

All 3 items have a range of 4 in the game and I cannot tell if they are doing any more damage than a knife.

The only thing I can think of is that <StrVal>ThrowingKnife</StrVal> in the item xml. What is this referencing? The English.str file? Or something else?

I see these all the time at the start of a new game:

An empty area where an NPC champ should be but is not. Then after you hit end turn, they disappear. There are about 10 or so on the map at the beginning of the game. Are these bugs or do they eventually spawn into NPCs? 

I ask because I have added new NPC champs to but I have never seen them and I was wondering if they were not showing up because of these. I only made 3, not 10, though.

Just to clarify, the spawn sets a rating for itself, then looks through the pool randomly and if there was nothing that matched, the "tent" pops up? It seems weird out of the hundred or so units there aren't any NPCs for them...

After a lot of experimenting it seems that you can't use the mods folder to change environment textures. You can however do it through the core files. I imagine this is a bug.

I have had this happen to me as well, although I was experimenting with custom allegiances. I had copied, renamed, and changed the allegiance of all the kingdom champions but my custom tents were always empty.

Been awhile since we used this thread. I am noticing some late game problems with tactical battles initiating. Has anyone else seen this? It only happens during late games when I am fighting 9 versus 9. The tactical battle fails to initiate and the game freezes and then crashes. I am guessing it is an issue with threading, but it could also be the crap computer I am using. If it is just me, I will try to nail down the exact cause. Can't think how a mod would make this happen, but since I am modding, no chance of posting it in the support forums. 

do you mod while playing?

a couple of times it happened to me and i think its because changing xml interfer with actual game, some xml is read during the game

one time i just couldnt keep playing anymore
