Anyone ever find the XML code that pioneer's or soveriegns use to create a town?

[quote who="Gnilbert" reply="126" id="2770007"] Quoting jereome, reply 115 1. Wall of Stone? As of right now you can make a spell to upgrade the look of your city to stone walls, but you cant have a spell increase defending unit defense. I have tried for days and it cant be done. That is we need a guide. Hey man - I have a working example of this in my mod HERE. It's a wall of bones, but the tiles for a wall of stone are also included in the zip. The critical

[quote who="Robert Hentschke" reply="29" id="2768940"] Here is said MoM fan patch! There's supposedly a forum and whatnot to support said at this link, but I have yet to get them to load even after a couple weeks of trying. No, that's a dead site where it once was. Try Petrell's Domain. Note that this is not "MoM 2.0", which is more a rebalance, such as we're seeing with the current "WOM mods". This link is for "MoM 1.40f", app

A few things. First a mod spell that will allow you to use dead corpse. I.e. Raise dead, animate dead, corpse explosion etc.. Second a mod spell that will affect the enemy as well as your units such as prayer. Third a mod spell that will add an improvement to your city. example wall of stone. Fourth how to make a spell effect variables such as mana regen or defending units defense. Lastly a detailed list of modtypes that can be plugged in

For some reason I put several custom wave files from NWN2 into the Elemental sfx directory and tried to play them in a custom spell and nothing happened. Any hint as to whats going on? Seriously there is no difference between these wav files and the ones in game.

Why because MOM was probably the first fantasy based turn based strategy game out that focused mainly on magic, and sad to say it success was never duplicated even after close to 20 years. Some other games came kind of close, but missed the mark when it came to the spell casting elements. For instance the best one out of these clones was Age of Wonders Shadow Magic. The problem AOW had is that they duplicated damn near everything about MOM, but slacked on the spell portion and this wa

Here you go, spent a greater part of the day puting these spells together. Some things like sound effects and maybe icons or effects havent been polished up yet but the major work has been done. Try it out and tell me what you think. The spells are as follows: Create Grassland Earth to Mud Wall of Stone Gaias Blessing Giant Strength Natures Eye Earth Lore Path Finding Gaias Wrath S

While they have drastically improved the game play with this patch I encountered the OOM error for the first time today at turn 120.

They dont have to make all of the spells in MOM or even all the abilities, all they have to do is copy enough from MOM and then give us the framework to work with so that we can do the rest. That way we can all have our sequal to MOM but Microprose wont be able to say a single thing since it was done by a loyal fan base.

Hello I have a question. Im trying to make a mod but I am having problems using CDATA for a sovereign talent. So could someone please tell me what are the acceptable targets for valueowner? I have only seen 3 so far and they are: 1. CastingUnit (works) 2. TargetUnit (works) 3 PlayerSovereign (doesnt work) What are the other talents that I could use for this. Thanks...

Good guide. Do you have any idea how to make a mod that will use CDATA for sovereign talents? For example I tried to use CDATA to make a talent that would buff the sovereigns mana regen at 25% of the casters intelligence.

[e digicons]x_x[/e] Currently I am working on trying to mod this like MOM. Currently Im trying to change the way the Mana system works in this game to be more like MOM's system. This includes beefing up the mana regen in game, but adding mana drains on all the enchantments. Also adding mana regen stats to all of the shards in the game and possibly making temples as well for town production. Also I have been trying to work on the Nature spell tree in MOM, but got snagged on Wall of Stone

Grrrr I have been trying all afternoon to get this dumb thing working. Can anyone figure out what Im doing wrong? Champion_Talent Magically Gifted Magic inf

[quote who="seanw3" reply="7" id="2742266"]I am still playing with the tile editor TBH. I have't time for such silly things as playing the game. I have only finished rebuilding three of the basic inmprovements. The game is going to change so much in the next few weeks I plan on really playing until they stop updating. [/quote] Same here but I have been spending all my time modding and seeing what I can accomplish with modding. So far Ive added a few techs in the magic t

Well I love StarDock and yes I dont base my opinion on this game for what I see now, but what it will be in the future. I have honestly waited over 20 years for a company to come out with a masters of magic sequal and many have tried but failed for one reason or another. The closest one to completing my dream was Age of Wonders Shadow Magic, but it still fell short in the magic department compared to MOM. So when I heard of EWOM lets just say I was so excited that I probably had to change my

I dont know but for me I was sold on this game being a sequal for Masters of Magic, and that Stardock even went so far as to try and purchase the license for it. Of course that didnt pan through but it was still sold as the spiritual successor to Master of Magic and unfortunately it fell woefully short of that. Couple that with the horrible AI and memory leaks and all I can say is, "Houston we have a problem." Seriously though I can deal with some stuff, because I love that I

I would say that 70% of the stuff that I hear people whining about Stardock to change can be changed with a MOD. Of course that leaves the other 30% though like the core tactical fights, memory leak, and lack of depth concerning the spell system and lets not forget the AI.

Seriously its annoying trying to stagger around and figure out how to do things on my own, when you have limited time. It would be so much easier if we could find out EXACTLY what are the limits to modding. And above all, all of the variables, strings commands etc... so that we can really begin modding.

Im trying to make some Master of Magic spells and right now Im running into a toughy, err Wall of Stone. Anyone ever figure out how to make a spell that will place an improvement in a city or summon a resource on a map tile? Thanks, Jereome.

Unfortunately no its not a single cast spell and there is no way to make it so, that I know of. I personally believe that the -1 duration makes the summon an enchantment which would make it single cast, but the spell wont work with the -1 duration.

I would love it too brotha, but unfortunately that is a little out of the question right now. First Stardock needs to flesh out the spells a little bit more so that we have something to work with. We could seriously mod about 40% of the MOM spells with what we have right now but thats nowhere near enough. Second npc's need alot more abilities than what they have right now. Right now we have a list of about 10 npc specials but need around 100. i.e. things like stone gaze etc..<

Well for me it was the duration line that was screwing it up for me. Once I got rid of that I was able to summon the hero. Also anyone know if there is some way to make a limit on the number of leaders you can summon? Perhaps making it use an enchantment slot, but anyone know how many enchantment slots you have?

Actually you make a quest where you select what type of npc you want to hire from the inn. Now if I can only allow the city to recruit champions instead of units. The reason behind this is to have units that will actually level up and instead of deleting a unit when its gear becomes obsolete you can just buy more gear and suit it up.

Is there anyway to incorporate random elements into the xml code for modding? For instance I would like to create a spell to summon an npc but I would like it to be random each time.
