Faction Terrain Types

June 12, 2013 9:28:40 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Hi.

I'd like to change a custom faction's terrain type to winter.                      

There was a mod for FE that did this by changing the <EnvironmentTerrainType>*</EnvironmentTerrainType> value (4 for winter) but LH seems to only recognize 1 (empire/purple) and 2 (kingdom/grassy). Other values seem to leave the terrain unchanged or default back to grass. Any ideas? 

Also, how do I delete custom factions/leaders? I delete the *.xml files in "\Documents\My Games\LegendaryHeroes" but they keep coming back and I can't figure out where the "root files" are.

Thanks.

While I have no idea how to go about doing what you propose, I do want to note "WOW. AWESOME IDEA!"

Would really Really REALLY love it if in your custom faction creation there was a spot//dropdown where you could select the type of landscape you want.

It is no longer possible to have the environment inside a faction's borders be anything but "kingdom" green or "fallen" purple.

Yeah, I was afraid this might be the case. Thanks HF.

I was totally thinking I would take Brad's scorched earth tileset and use that for my next kingdom. That would have been SO awesome.

Come on Brad! Don't you want your tileset mod to be used as a background for the greatest empire in the realm of Elemental?!?

Awh. I can't be the only one who likes the winter terrain.

 

It would be nice if they'd fix this.

Apparently this is one of those things where there's a rather large trade-off. Having all those environment terrain textures available in E:wom was supposedly a huge drain on memory. I guess we can only hope that this would be something they'll improve in future sequels as they move over to 64-bit CPU and DX11 or higher requirements.
