Hello everyone, Following https://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/22379 there will be some changes needed for those of you who have mods modifying templates. I believe that's most of you. Before rP22379 a typical attack component was defined like this: <Attack> <Ranged> <Hack>0.0</Hack> <Pierce>12.0</Pierce> <Crush>0.0</Crush> <MaxRange>72.0</MaxRange> <MinRange>0.0</MinRange> <PrepareTime>1200</PrepareTime> <RepeatTime>2000</RepeatTime> <Delay>0</Delay> <Projectile> <Speed>75.0</Speed> <Spread>1.5</Spread> <Gravity>9.81</Gravity> <LaunchPoint y="3"/> </Projectile> <PreferredClasses datatype="tokens">Human</PreferredClasses> <RangeOverlay> <LineTexture>outline_border.png</LineTexture> <LineTextureMask>outline_border_mask.png</LineTextureMask> <LineThickness>0.175</LineThickness> </RangeOverlay> </Ranged> </Attack> Now you have to wrap Hack, Pierce, Crush (but not Capture !) into a Damage Tag <Attack> <Ranged> <Damage> <Hack>0.0</Hack> <Pierce>12.0</Pierce> <Crush>0.0</Crush> </Damage> <MaxRange>72.0</MaxRange> <MinRange>0.0</MinRange> <PrepareTime>1200</PrepareTime> <RepeatTime>2000</RepeatTime> <Delay>0</Delay> <Projectile> <Speed>75.0</Speed> <Spread>1.5</Spread> <Gravity>9.81</Gravity> <LaunchPoint y="3"/> </Projectile> <PreferredClasses datatype="tokens">Human</PreferredClasses> <RangeOverlay> <LineTexture>outline_border.png</LineTexture> <LineTextureMask>outline_border_mask.png</LineTextureMask> <LineThickness>0.175</LineThickness> </RangeOverlay> </Ranged> </Attack> Also note this will be breaking auras and technologies as well. { "type": "range", "radius": 50, "affects": [ "Soldier" ], "modifications": [ { "value": "Attack/Melee/Crush", "multiply": 1.20 }, { "value": "Attack/Ranged/Hack", "multiply": 1.20 } ], "auraName": "Religious Fervor", "auraDescription": "+20% attack damage for soldiers.", "overlayIcon": "art/textures/ui/session/auras/attack_bonus.png" } Will become { "type": "range", "radius": 50, "affects": [ "Soldier" ], "modifications": [ { "value": "Attack/Melee/Damage/Crush", "multiply": 1.20 }, { "value": "Attack/Ranged/Damage/Hack", "multiply": 1.20 } ], "auraName": "Religious Fervor", "auraDescription": "+20% attack damage for soldiers.", "overlayIcon": "art/textures/ui/session/auras/attack_bonus.png" } { "genericName": "Close Combat Cavalry Training", "specificName": { "mace": "Xyston", "spart": "Xyston", "athen": "Xyston", "sele": "Xyston", "ptol": "Xyston", "rome": "Hasta" }, "description": "Training increases melee attack.", "cost": { "food": 500, "wood": 750, "stone": 0, "metal": 350 }, "requirements": { "tech": "phase_town" }, "requirementsTooltip": "Unlocked in Town Phase.", "icon": "horse_trainer.png", "researchTime": 40, "tooltip": "+20% melee cavalry attack.", "modifications": [ { "value": "Attack/Melee/Hack", "multiply": 1.2 }, { "value": "Attack/Melee/Pierce", "multiply": 1.2 }, { "value": "Attack/Melee/Crush", "multiply": 1.2 } ], "affects": [ "Cavalry Melee" ], "soundComplete": "interface/alarm/alarm_upgradearmory.xml" } Becomes { "genericName": "Close Combat Cavalry Training", "specificName": { "mace": "Xyston", "spart": "Xyston", "athen": "Xyston", "sele": "Xyston", "ptol": "Xyston", "rome": "Hasta" }, "description": "Training increases melee attack.", "cost": { "food": 500, "wood": 750, "stone": 0, "metal": 350 }, "requirements": { "tech": "phase_town" }, "requirementsTooltip": "Unlocked in Town Phase.", "icon": "horse_trainer.png", "researchTime": 40, "tooltip": "+20% melee cavalry attack.", "modifications": [ { "value": "Attack/Melee/Damage/Hack", "multiply": 1.2 }, { "value": "Attack/Melee/Damage/Pierce", "multiply": 1.2 }, { "value": "Attack/Melee/Damage/Crush", "multiply": 1.2 } ], "affects": [ "Cavalry Melee" ], "soundComplete": "interface/alarm/alarm_upgradearmory.xml" } This change will then allow any modder to add different types of attack to his mod. One currently has hack, pierce, crush, and could add, magic, fire etc... following https://code.wildfiregames.com/D1938 Sorry for the inconvenience and Happy modding You can answer this thread if you need further details

Would need an icon and a proper template that doesn't depend on DE

Should be better now pers_ice_house_02.zip

@gameboy that code will not work, nor will the previous examples you posted do either. Some are C not C++ which isn't a problem by itself, but we don't code in C anywhere, some are not cross platform, example #include <windows.h> Will only work on windows. Nobody actually needs to change the gamma in the game, you can do it using external software if you need to. Also, when posting code snippets, please use the code tools from the forums. It's unreadable otherwise. Thanks. Did a re installation fix it ?

There is a patch for it now: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D1976

What I mean is the we need the rider to be a separate element from the horse to do that.

It's in the blend files somewhere Unfortunately, we need to reexport them all I thibk because mistakes were made.

We need turrets for that.

Yep just got a pm he is using w10 hence my question. @feneur can you lift his post limit please ? @weridetogether6 How many monitors do you have ?

Windows 10 or 8.1 ?

They will be committed. I'm waiting for his last map

@Bigtiger might have some stuff to show soon

Would be nice Since the offenders are often the same

@user1 @Hannibal_Barca Maybe there could be a network message when the banned user tries to join the lobby with the remaining ban time ?

True But since it lags so much that it crashes the game that might be a good worst case scenario

With a proper texture job using crocodile scales and photo texturing, they might make a new race for my mod Stella Artis (Unreleased)

@wraitii Would be interesting to test unitmotion changes on this maybe ?

Yes it is in Delenda Est only.

They do, it's called basic_glow.xml, and recently added is basic_glow_norm.xml. See the my last post in the "your screenshots". The effects are faint though. Glow is controlled by the alpha channel of the spec map. @vladislavbelov Said he will allow for player_glow.xml and player_glow_norm.xml, which are not currently supported.

I can try to improve that a bit. I thought they were slightly below the ground ? I can add that, I was wondering why there would be a hole which would allow the sun to melt the ice. Yeah, but I can't do that.

pers_ice_house.zip

That's when it's not transparent enough/ the texture is not b&w on top of it.

I might have something for the former.

It depends on the material

I believe it worked as follow : A sphere inside a bigger hollow sphere ( a sphere which size is -1 on all three axis, which basically inverts all normal ) But if basic_trans works as expected you won't need to do that.
