Hello s0600204! Thanks for adding my mod! All of the building icons don't seem to be showing up. Is there something I can change to fix that for you? I like how your project can support more than 3 ages. Good job on that. Would be very useful for a mod that has a lot more ages (like a Rise of Nations).

Thanks. That did the trick. Not sure what happened either. I did not pewrsonally or intentionally change the order of initialisation. -

I don't remember changing anything like that though. So, I am confuse. I have not (consciously) changed when skirmisher units are initialised. -

I get this with latest AI (I have mod delenda est installed): WARNING: PlayerID 1 | Petra baseManager 1 problem with accessIndex 2 while metadata access is undefinedIt's possible I have changed a template in some way to hurt the AI's performance. What could this change be? -
Do defensive towers require archers?
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to connloyalist's topic in Help & Feedback
The only ranged units you can garrison in a tower are infantry. -
Do defensive towers require archers?
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to connloyalist's topic in Help & Feedback
I think it was originallyy meant to only hve ranged infantry add arrows: <BuildingAI> <DefaultArrowCount>1</DefaultArrowCount> <GarrisonArrowMultiplier>1</GarrisonArrowMultiplier> <GarrisonArrowClasses>Infantry Ranged</GarrisonArrowClasses> </BuildingAI>Otherwise you only need "Infantry" there. The classes list here do not work like other lists. -
The alpha 17 changes really are very very bad. Removing hard counters was a mistake and there are numerous bad decisions like the one pointed out in this thread. Spearmen get pierce attack, and to make them counter cavalry cavalry must have low pierce armor, right? But ranged units have pierce attack too. Ranged units are supposed to be countered by cavalry, but instead slaughter cavalry like hot knife through butter. And then you have a basic unit like swordsman who costs 3 different resources, food, wood, and iron. You have champion units (see Seleucid silver shield for example) who cost HUGE amounts of 3 resources too. You will have post after post of people trying to defend their decisions (the balancing branch people who basically have thrown the game's design into disarray), so it is very clear that they do not intend to change direction. It is good to experiment, but you should know when the experiment is a failure. The truth is the game's health just now relies on modding to fix game's balance.

I actually saw what you did in your patch! Figured out why you did that and agreed. I lowered it to 0.5 in my mod. Would also make more sense too if the buildings caught fire when damaged, so the sheep would want to evacuate. loll Another bad behavior: I cannot double-click and select all the sheep. This also happens with units propped on a Fortress or wall. EDIT: Okay, I tried in the sheep template to put roamdistance to 0 and this is what I get: ERROR: CXeromyces: Parse error: (null):0: Extra element FeedTimeMax in interleaveERROR: CXeromyces: Parse error: gaia/fauna_sheep:1: Element UnitAI failed to validate contentERROR: RelaxNGValidator: Validation failedERROR: Failed to validate entity template 'gaia/fauna_sheep'ERROR: Failed to load entity template 'gaia/fauna_sheep'So, I think the solution is to somehow flag the domestic animals to turn off roaming when garrisoned. I can't "hack" this behavior unfortunetly.

<GarrisonHolder> <Max>10</Max> <EjectHealth>0.1</EjectHealth> <EjectClassesOnDestroy datatype="tokens">Unit</EjectClassesOnDestroy> <List datatype="tokens">Animal</List> <BuffHeal>1</BuffHeal> <LoadingRange>4</LoadingRange> </GarrisonHolder>That is the <List datatype="tokens">Animal</List> line in the code.
-
Yeah I know. I also tried removing the animal class from the sheep (didn't work). Removed the Domestic class (I couldn't move the sheep at all). I've tried all kinds of things. So, I abandoned trying to make it work with a sheep and gave the war elephant the trickle code and garrisoned a war elephant into the corral. Did not work. The Wiki claims that all the tech effects should be usable as auras. This does not seem to be the case with all kinds of auras or every effect. So, we have two issues: Sheep are not allowed to be garrisoned. The aura does not work with garrisoned units (but does if aura is changed to ranged). EDIT: It works (!) with garrisoned units, but only if I add a visible prop point. So, this aspect mostly works. So, now the issue is just #1. Cannot garrison Animal or Domestic class units into a Corral.
-
This is not a good solution. It should all be Class-based and should work just fine as it is. Also, the sheep already has the "Unit" class. lol. But just to try, I made a sheep in units/ and gave changed its civ from gaia to cart (the civ I am trying it on),and even that didn't work (so, the civ probably isn't the problem... probably, and its folder is not the problem). Yes. When I change it to a ranged aura the nearby sheep start to give you a trickle of food. But we want it to be a garrisoned aura. I can't garrison a sheep inside the building regardless of what the aura is or even if there is no aura. And even if the code says I should be able to garrison a unit of 'Animal' class.
-
Good question. When I change the corral's garrison class list from "Animal" to "Unit" I can garrison other units inside, but still not the sheep. EDIT: When I change the aura to a radius instead of garrisonedunit, the aura works. But we want to be able to garrison the animal inside the corral. The game is not letting me do that.

Corral trickle food
wowgetoffyourcellphone posted a topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
Trying to enable the corral food trickle with an aura. This is what I have for the aura. <Auras> <Aura1> <Type>garrisonedUnits</Type> <Affects>Animal</Affects> <Modifications> <ResourceTrickle.FoodRate> <Add>1</Add> </ResourceTrickle.FoodRate> </Modifications> <AuraName>Corraling and Ranching</AuraName> <AuraDescription>Garrison Domestic Animals within the Corral to enable a slow trickle of Food.</AuraDescription> </Aura1> </Auras>The problem is I cannnot make the sheep garrison into the corral. The corral's garrison code looks like this: <GarrisonHolder> <Max>10</Max> <EjectHealth>0.1</EjectHealth> <EjectClassesOnDestroy datatype="tokens">Unit</EjectClassesOnDestroy> <List datatype="tokens">Animal</List> <BuffHeal>1</BuffHeal> <LoadingRange>4</LoadingRange> </GarrisonHolder>And all fauna animals (including sheep) have "Animal" as a class. So, the corral should be able to garrison the sheep inside it for me to test the aura, but I cannot make the sheep go into the corral. What could be the cause here? I see nothing in the fauna templates that says they cannot garrison into something. -
Sound good. Some maybe need more emotions?

Delenda Est: An overhaul mod for 0 A.D.

http://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/16010 This commit fixes Rotary Mill auyra problem. Thank you. -
Sure go ahead. About the units on boats. The big problem is not the scale in my mind. The building are not to scale with units anyway. Docks are not to scale with ships, and all the rest. I think biggest problem comes from the pathfinder.
