So, work through it. Like I said, it'll need some adjustment based on what ScenarioInfo / SessionGetScenarioInfo return, but the data needed is definitely accessible somehow. Comment out the last block, and see if it's being caused by the way it's getting ScenarioInfo. If you don't want it to crash every time there's an error, put the whole thing it in a function and pcall it:[code="c++"]local ok, msg = pcall(functionname) if not ok then &

[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="28" id="2940878"]1v1 games typically last quite awhile, so Currency is bound to pay for itself over the course of the game. But the opportunity cost and short-term sacrifice decision is more significant than it is in 2v2, which is in turn more significant than it is in 3v3 where it is meaningless. I do think that tying up the currency improvement should be tied up to gold flags, which at least provides the other team the opportunity to sabotag

It works in an RTS because not getting it is a viable, sometimes even favorable choice. This is because 1) it takes significant time to pay off, and that time and opportunity cost can often cost you the game if your opponent knows you're econ-rushing and pressures you with more resources invested in units, and 2) it only affects you, so the time-to-payoff is absolute and it doesn't give immediate, significant benefit to your allies. Most RTSes also tie investment in resourc

Uh, in addition to Ooze, which is really effective and easily compensated for with some minor regen, UB has Post-Mortem. Which still slaughters all creeps in a large area in seconds with a handful of autoattacks. And since creeps now give reduced bounty and xp, the loss of kill credit in non-UberFix games is now totally meaningless. So yes, your changes boost UB absolutely massively in every way.

You aren't getting it. There is no 'choice' with getting ANY gold upgrades, because they WILL pay for themselves in a very reasonable amount of time, while massively boosting your teammates' income. Getting Gold I or Priests isn't a choice - you get Gold I, and then you make back enough to afford Priests again in a matter of minutes, and/or one of your teammates just buys Priests outright. XP upgrades make sense. Gold upgrades do not, because they

I agree with hedgie, this hurts no- or low-AOE demigods a lot more. The ones that have to attack creeps directly are screwed now, and most of those aren't actually the best at killing other demigods. Doubling creep stats would reverse the equation, making AOE still useful, but not insanely overpowered vs creeps compared to good autoattack damage and regeneration/armor/survivability. There are simply not enough good AOE items at the low levels to justify a change that c

Reply to [Mod] MOBA 1.0 in Demigod Modding Demigod Forums

Double basic creep stats rather than doubling their number. This won't affect MetaImpact balance at all (they still die either way), while keeping the performance impact low. Maps like Brothers and Ziggurat already run poorly for plenty of people with current creep numbers, and maps like Cataract don't even have enough lane space to allow that many creeps to clash in a line. Don't know if I agree with removing all xp/gold for higher-level creeps - I'd make

To be clear, it's not Post-Mortem that causes lag, only Plague itself. PM works fine, although you won't get kill credit for anything that dies to PM blasts unless the game has the UberFix running.

I think Demigod and other MOBAs are much more suited to console play than RTSes, and there are a bunch of RTSes with playable console ports. I definitely don't see a problem with making a console port of a potential Demigod sequel, so long as the basic gameplay isn't compromised. There are plenty of ways to make the interface usable on pad, even if (as with most types of games) you can't reach the same level of competitive play with one.

Reply to UberFix 1.06 [1/18/2012] in Demigod Modding Demigod Forums

Brain Storm is fixed in 2-3 ways by the Uberfix, including the debuff removal and effects without Mental Agility. Mental Agility should only add a cooldown bonus, and that's how it works in the UberFix. This has been present since 1.02. The flag bonus bug was a result of the fix for infinite armybonus stacking that I added in 1.04 which only allowed one of each armybonus to be present at any given time. The original valor flag bug was different, and was a result

I would highly recommend using the optioning method detailed in BuffAffects.lua (in the ModHealthDamageData comments) if you want to keep using hard overrides, because I cannot guarantee that I won't change something else significant in BuffAffects in a future UberFix release, and the whole point of non-destructive modding is to avoid having to change your mod every time someone else changes theirs.
