[eInfo]The CharmTarget tag works!

...it seems to make the game re-compile its binary file upon each load. Very strange. It's a nice mechanic, but I don't think that the extra couple minutes spent waiting each time you launch the game is worth it. I wonder if this is the reason that it was left out of v1.1...

Dominate is still in 1.1.  One of the heroes has it.

Err.. that's "CharmTarget", not Dominate. Oops.

*Edit* Fixed. I think it was related to identical spell and ability InternalNames.

What did you change? As far as I know, it should only recompile the binary if any of the core XML files are changed in the install directory.

Nothing but a couple files in the mod folder... which is why I thought it strange enough to post about. After giving the spell a new internal name, it stopped doing it. I'm guessing that having identical InternalNames for 2 things caused it.

Yeah, having two identical internalnames in the wrong places can definitely create some weird things (besides the binary recompiling).
