See here for a "fix" for 1.19: [1.19] Mod God help request - Solved!!

Beta is a good thought. Not a new data.zip. It is the one I made. I'll try the spell sans cost. Thanks.

From the main menu I clicked multiplayer. Decided to jump back out and clicked on "Back". Nothing. Clicked again. Nothing. I had to go into the next screen and cancel there to get back to the main menu. Either kill the Back button or fix it to jump back to the main. Thanks.

Solution: The Beta is the problem. 1.19 phones home (hence the need for the internet connection and the cause of some folks not getting the game to load the data file along with the whole username password issue) and loads a data.zip for the game from the SD side of things. The game does not use the one in the data folder and is probably loading AFTER mods load which probably caused my redundant mana cost issue. Now I figured out a way to get the game to work with the local d

Stuie, It appears to be totally broken in 1.19. I can't appear to mod any core xml in the data directory. Even recompiling the data.zip does nothing. Here is another good one. Decided to change the cost of teleportation. I copied the Strat mobility to the mods folder and changed the cost. Fired up a game and was greeted with two mana cost lines in the spell, but the spell worked and cost me the combined cost. Next I gutted my mod file just to leave the mana cost elemen

I did notice that the black outlines had been turned on again. My machine is a bit old and I had them off to up the speed. I'll see if this helps again.

Count me in as seeing the same slow down as you describe. I'll assume along with folks getting video glitches that SD broke something in the graphics processing and it is causing these issues. Hopefully it can be isolated and fixed for the next release/patch.

I have the same problem as your #1. Notables missing on cloth map. I was missing a ton of stuff because I was zoomed out directing units.

That has the look of a corrupted graphics memory from too many textures trying to load. I use to hit that problem back in the day with Red Baron. Game would be fine and then it tried to load a new texture for something and objects get suddenly corrupted. I hope they trace that quickly. Are you guys running a number of graphics heavy mods?

Not from mods folder. Not in /english/data overwritting the defaults. Not used in a rebuilt data.zip (worked in 1.11). Ideas. Other mods appear to load (expanded factions and others) Thanks. Edit: I'm also getting odd replication of data from mods. Double starting equipment in Sov Build screen. Copies a spell file to mods folder, did edits to mana cost and now the spell shows both costs and subtracts both from my pool. Kinda sucks. Before, any spell mod

Call should just ignore 0 attack. Early in the game I make armed and armoured pioneers (Engineers).

Only difference I see between your spell and Heavenfall's test is that you have assigned an InternalName to your GameModifier section and he did not. Of course, not sure why that would matter.

Well strike that 1 = 100% thought. Firestorm is CastTime of 2. Both have wiped out my full AP if done first. Perhaps we are looking at a bug in the main code.

Heavenfall, Does the unit using this have an AP of 3 to start with? Since 1.1 casting spell has used all remaining AP to cast. With my Sov I tend to make one attack and then cast in order to do more then one action. Like you, I see nothing in the code there that controls AP used. In some of the spells in the data folder are showing a Tag called CastTime. Perhaps that is what dictates AP use. Now looking at that more I know casting fireball has burned more then one AP. So maybe

Heavenfall, Can you post the XML data snippet for the 3 AP cost ability? Then we all can take a shot at figuring it out.

It still looks like the bows have an issue. I found a tier 1 crude bow with the spiff bleeding hit power. The power works at a decent range but the bow only engages normally at 1 square. The rest of the mod is awesome as always.

I wish SD would do one of two things with these missing/broken/unused material elements (and there are 4-6 of them that always show up in debugs) and the unable to generate 3d text for city names. As stated by Harpo these have been around since the begining. 1. Fix them. Place/fix the missing/broken files. 2. If not used then remove the comment generation from the debug file. Its a ton of useless clutter that makes hunting real problems that much more of a pain. As for

Thanks for a quick fix!

All Sovs still have stats for wisdom, mana regen and essence. It appears that most NPC do not have an essence stat. Worth looking into I would think.

Depends on the units INT score and the spell to cast. Most NPC have a low INT score. It takes some doing to get them bumped up enough to use any good spells.

Frogboy, Instead of "cheating", could you base the AI decisions based on the currrent state of the Player and then have the AI work to lag or lead these parameters based on the AI setting. In other words, If the players status is divided into trackable parameters like Level of Sov, Sov Attack, Sov Def, Mana, Shards Controlled, Number of cities, Best hand to hand unit (with AT/DF/MV), best ranged (same), ave number of each unit type per city, number of NPC, average level of NPC, a

I'm glad to hear you found and killed the save game bug. I'm loving this mod and Heavenfalls stuff too. I hope at some point SD gets the coding portion of the modding opened up so we can see how far this game engine can get pushed.

Yep, got me in 1.1. Thread elsewhere.

The debug file is showing a Memory buffer overrun during the loading of the game. That is never a good thing in a program.

A bit of an update. Looking at the err file Is spotted this this morning. Debug Message: LOAD GAME: Loading World Debug Message: LOAD GAME: Game Save Version: 297 Debug Message: LOAD GAME: Game Version (at time of save): 1.1 <span style="backgrou
