[quote who="Barranoid" reply="14" id="2737577"]That helps...I really could have thought of this myself -.- ...but why is the value 0 instead of 1? Thats weird. EDIT : Phew...it will take a while but right now I'm putting it all together to be actually "useable". Values, balance and stuff...Some textures seem to be missing so I'll draw a few new ones. Can't do anything against broken models tho, so I'll spend some time with debuging Heh this actua

I've tried this on multiple occasions but CANNOT get any code to work. Here is the code for adding diplomacy based on charisma: Player Resource DiplomaticCapital --> <!-- Use the sovereign's charism

Ah, that's disappointing. I hope they implement these at some point.

Yes, it's regenerating ALL of the code. You have to wait for it to finish and that may take a while.

Nice post, unfortunately, the [CODE] function of this forums is lacking. Copying and pasting the code will result in a bunch of numbers (the numbers to the left of it). Try editing and re-posting it as a [quote], should work better. Anyways, nice start on adding a new weapon and adding abilities to it.

It's not implemented yet so we are stuck using the "Mods" folder, atm. I'm still unsure how far they intend to go with mod support. Right now it looks like it's just Maps, Items, Tiles, and Quests. We'll have to see once they implement it.

I'm still getting a "Doubling effect" on a number of things despite this code. For example, my tech tree modification works but some things are being displayed twice (barracks, war colleges) and some bonuses are being doubled (prestige per city). It's minor inconveniences now but annoying, nonetheless.

Recreating the core XML binary did work for me . My new technologies do work the way I intended them to. However, I'm getting a doubling effect on a number of things (cities, buildings in the hergenomon, bonuses).

See this: [quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="2738055"]If you're changing the core files, I believe you have to delete the data.zip file (binary data that the game uses so it loads faster), and then run the game with /createxmlbinary so it re-creates it with your changes . They should show up, then. [/quote] I had the SAME problem as you. Did a similar thing with the RAZE city option, mod

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="2738656"] Most likely this will not be necessary. The Mod Library within the game is designed to be used to upload and share mods quickly and conveniently. The caveat is that because SD is hosting them, the mods will have to go through an approval process. As far as I know they're still working on finalizing the tools and guidelines for mod approvals, which is why at the moment only maps work with the mod library. When it's in full swing, though, shar

Get both! Fall from Heaven 2 is FREE ! I must say, I'm a huge fan of Fall from Heaven 2, however, despite that game's amazingness it is missing a LOT of features that Elemental has. I like creating my sovereign, I like my heroes, I like the RPG elements of Elemental, I like equipping my characters with equipment, and, best of all, I like creating my own armies. Can't do ANY of that in FFH2 which is why I got tired of it.

It's called TIBERIUM . Nod will soon be there to get you! No seriously, I think your problem is that EVERYONE is researching the Adventure techs, not just the player. This is also my theory on why the monsters are also getting so powerful so quickly. If your playing a game with the full amount of computer players then eventually everyone will research the Adventure techs and expedite

[quote who="Stuie_acs" reply="7" id="2737559"]@James009D - I have been unsuccessful getting the game to read modified tech files. I tried different directories, renaming files, etc. etc. and no luck. Please let us know if you have any success. [/quote] Your in luck! Annatar11 found a easy fix that should solve all our problems. See this: [quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="2738055"] If you're changing the core files, I believe you have to delete the

I don't know. You could probably make a new trader\caravan unit and add some attack and defensive values to it. It'd essentially be like "arming" them men.

This is going to be a brief guide that can help you start modding. What can I mod? I believe that you can mod just about anything in Elemental. Here is a small list of options: Data- "\Stardock Games\Elemental\data\English" - Contains all the Core*.XML files in which you can alter just about anything. Gfx- "\Stardock Games\Elemental\Gfx"

Good. We can take that tech bonus, apply it to markets, and solve many problems! :D Now... which tech is it, specifically?

GIGGITY! AN UPDATE. Looks amazing, gonna load it up now. Also, thanks for that tip. Gonna play around with it.

I'm gonna try this code and, ho

haha, I had this happen too and thought I was seeing things. Guess it's not as late as I'd thought.

I'm going to wait for the movie, lol. Good stuff :)

Is this patch overriding mods? Some of my mods have stopped working and I think that the core files are taking priority over them. My theory, anyways.

You know... I'm not entirely sure anymore. My game obviously isn't reading a ModTechTree.XML file I just implemented and I cannot get the game to read it no matter what. My Traits Mod is working alright but I cannot get the new one implemented. I'd appreciate some help with this too... maybe the patch did something? Also, I think mods are read BEFORE Core data... this implies, to me, that the core files get priority over mods. That's my theory anyways... <strong

I've heard a lot of people complaining that their mods are causing duplicate data and not working. I have two major mod projects ( characters expansion and traits mod ) running and, up until now, I haven't had this problem. The default abilities are overwritten and the characters work cooperatively with the default ones. However, I just tried modding the armor techs where they are

I don't think there are... any. However, you can create your own or download my " Characters Mod " (the new fallen guys aren't implemented into the download yet).

As a rule of thumb, most games like this old savegames will always be at risk of being invalidated when there is a patch. However, a warning would be nice, sure. Someone suggested loading your old game, re-saving it, and then reloading it... maybe that'll fix you?
