[quote who="Biographics" reply="28" id="3358805"] Quoting cardinaldirection, reply 25 Once the system has been activated in elementaldefs there is a cheat hotkey to spawn children, ctrl+(a letter, can't remember which). I haven't tried it myself but I what I really want is for the game to spawn them based off of turns and spouse probability of giving birth. And some people say the Ctrl+F doesn't work for them in FE.[/quote] It does work, but people n

When you design a new unit the program is utilizing the generic mold they have for that race. In other, words, you skeleton body will end up with equipment type heads and such. The only way around this is to create a seperate body model type. Currently I think it is using a wraith modeltype body. You need to create a new one and add the appropriate art definitions for that particular model type. Then you would have to force this unit to arise as a generic model type other (like the hench

The game always had your custom sovereigns in the database. The editor will update it's file of the internal names in your documents folder for identification purposes and help you track down the internal names of your things that you've made. So, if you use a custom sovereign as a badguy encounter, and you test run your quest, if you didn't update the database for the editor, it wouldn' t know if that was a legitimate internal name and so would flash up a warning in the log.<

I can confirm that this does happen. Although, I do not get a crash when doing this quest, this loop is annoying. The only way out is pressing escape, but the next turn it is up again. Here is a fix for the problem. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/75549875/Fallen%20Enchantress/QuestFixes/Quest_Slavers.zip The changes are as follows: In objectiveID 0 --&

Thanks ElanaAhova I'll start writing up the manual soon. In the meantime I've added a new feature in this next update. Another window that allows one to look at a variety of internal names within the game (categorized of course). Also, looking for feedback on what I've got here so far. I've been able to create 4-5 different quests in about 30 minutes (as long as I'm using the predone assets, otherwise it takes some time creating the unique heroes, i

No problem. If you'd like I'll take down the file so no-one gets a copy of the mapdata... This program works with all the other custom maps, there are quite a few errors in those as well regarding river data. I know the built in editor is not the friendliest when it comes to making rivers. I'll post up those fixes for those maps if you would like (or PM you).

*** I found exactly 2 errors in my files, I fixed them *** With the next version, I've looked at the rivers on the war map again and found that their are still the phantom rivers (tiles that say river, but are not rivers) and we see that there are rivers that do not have river tiles. I've fixed this and added a river that should be showing up on the war map (there is a series of river tiles here, it only makes sense to make it a river. This is the compiled map with the

There is a difference between ignoring the AI players cities and targeting the cities. For example, Tarths stealth trait relies on the monsters ignoring them, but sometimes it does lead to a battle. In your case, it should be less likely for the creatures to ignore the AI, and more likely to target your locations. So if this is an issue it will probably be a difficult one to track down.

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="5" id="3357904"] Counterspell. With a lot of spells losing their casting time, counterspell basically becomes pointless. Perhaps a new mechanic for Counterspell is in order, like automatically firing anytime an enemy casts a spell.[/quote] Similar to a 1 or 2 turn silence spell... I like it :)

You are correct, but you must remove the elementaldef.xml from the core directory. I'd prefer that you not break peoples games here either, but the disclaimer for you is to make a back-up file of the elementaldef.xml, The rest of what you do might be able to put into the mods directory. I tend to avoid all modding that requires a change to the core files period, but I know some elements then just can't be done. In that way, the work around is to create senario maps where you can set-u

Unfortunately whenever you modify the elementaldef.xml you need to mod the core file iteself and so you can't use the mod directory.

The process I tend to use is to customize a sovereign or a unit in game then use that appearance data as the base to create a hero. So, in effect copy the first half from a hero and then the second half of a customized unit I just made. It makes making the second half a little easier to handle.

Yeah, i've experimented with a spell of this sort already. I've gotten it to ''change'' into a bear. I've made the casting player imobilized for the duration of the AI, and made the caster invisible on top of this. I've not been able to make the caster immune from being targeted by the AI, nor have I been able to create a successful life link (a life link yes, successfully between the two units... no). There are a few other issues to work out, but at th
