Yes, it's regenerating ALL of the code. You have to wait for it to finish and that may take a while.

Nice post, unfortunately, the [CODE] function of this forums is lacking. Copying and pasting the code will result in a bunch of numbers (the numbers to the left of it). Try editing and re-posting it as a [quote], should work better. Anyways, nice start on adding a new weapon and adding abilities to it.

Reply to How does mod sharing work? in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

It's not implemented yet so we are stuck using the "Mods" folder, atm. I'm still unsure how far they intend to go with mod support. Right now it looks like it's just Maps, Items, Tiles, and Quests. We'll have to see once they implement it.

Reply to Help. Why wont my mods work? in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

I'm still getting a "Doubling effect" on a number of things despite this code. For example, my tech tree modification works but some things are being displayed twice (barracks, war colleges) and some bonuses are being doubled (prestige per city). It's minor inconveniences now but annoying, nonetheless.

Recreating the core XML binary did work for me . My new technologies do work the way I intended them to. However, I'm getting a doubling effect on a number of things (cities, buildings in the hergenomon, bonuses).

Reply to Does a mod overwrite the entire node or just the elements inside a node? in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

See this: [quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="2738055"]If you're changing the core files, I believe you have to delete the data.zip file (binary data that the game uses so it loads faster), and then run the game with /createxmlbinary so it re-creates it with your changes . They should show up, then. [/quote] I had the SAME problem as you. Did a similar thing with the RAZE city option, mod

Reply to Modding 101 in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="2738656"] Most likely this will not be necessary. The Mod Library within the game is designed to be used to upload and share mods quickly and conveniently. The caveat is that because SD is hosting them, the mods will have to go through an approval process. As far as I know they're still working on finalizing the tools and guidelines for mod approvals, which is why at the moment only maps work with the mod library. When it's in full swing, though, shar

Reply to Elemental, or Fall from Heaven 2? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Get both! Fall from Heaven 2 is FREE ! I must say, I'm a huge fan of Fall from Heaven 2, however, despite that game's amazingness it is missing a LOT of features that Elemental has. I like creating my sovereign, I like my heroes, I like the RPG elements of Elemental, I like equipping my characters with equipment, and, best of all, I like creating my own armies. Can't do ANY of that in FFH2 which is why I got tired of it.

Reply to [Bug? 1.05] The SHARDS are taking over!!! in WOM Support Elemental Forums

It's called TIBERIUM . Nod will soon be there to get you! No seriously, I think your problem is that EVERYONE is researching the Adventure techs, not just the player. This is also my theory on why the monsters are also getting so powerful so quickly. If your playing a game with the full amount of computer players then eventually everyone will research the Adventure techs and expedite

I don't know. You could probably make a new trader\caravan unit and add some attack and defensive values to it. It'd essentially be like "arming" them men.

Modding 101 in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

This is going to be a brief guide that can help you start modding. What can I mod? I believe that you can mod just about anything in Elemental. Here is a small list of options: Data- "\Stardock Games\Elemental\data\English" - Contains all the Core*.XML files in which you can alter just about anything. Gfx- "\Stardock Games\Elemental\Gfx"

Reply to Elemental v1.06 Released (now with 100% more hotfix!) in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Is this patch overriding mods? Some of my mods have stopped working and I think that the core files are taking priority over them. My theory, anyways.

Reply to Why oh why don't my mods get picked up? in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

You know... I'm not entirely sure anymore. My game obviously isn't reading a ModTechTree.XML file I just implemented and I cannot get the game to read it no matter what. My Traits Mod is working alright but I cannot get the new one implemented. I'd appreciate some help with this too... maybe the patch did something? Also, I think mods are read BEFORE Core data... this implies, to me, that the core files get priority over mods. That's my theory anyways... <strong

[Modding Support] Load Mods AFTER the gamedata- Improved Mod Support in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I've heard a lot of people complaining that their mods are causing duplicate data and not working. I have two major mod projects ( characters expansion and traits mod ) running and, up until now, I haven't had this problem. The default abilities are overwritten and the characters work cooperatively with the default ones. However, I just tried modding the armor techs where they are

Reply to Suggestion: Notify before patching in WOM Support Elemental Forums

As a rule of thumb, most games like this old savegames will always be at risk of being invalidated when there is a patch. However, a warning would be nice, sure. Someone suggested loading your old game, re-saving it, and then reloading it... maybe that'll fix you?

I'm sort of working on this concept but I'm limited to what I accomplish with modding. Check out my mod " Abilities, Traits, and Histories Mod " here . I'm currently working on ways to get the heroes to gain passive experience but having little progress. I also am testing ways to get attributes effect abilities (charisma adds to diplomacy production or trade bonuses) but can't figure out h

Reply to Pros-Cons Empire vs Kingdom cities in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I don't know... I only play Kingdoms. Do your guys gain experience? Do you have trade markets, bazaars, and town halls? I think they're probably mostly cosmetic and based on flavor. Then again, I've certainly never had demons. But I'm probably the only guy here who doesn't care much about that thing they call " magic ".
