[quote who="Tydorius" reply="2" id="2882632"]So it just occasionally tells me my beta is old and to jump to the pre-beta patch? Not that I'm complaining. I'm back to 1.11 and glad to not be having crashes again for a while. Can't wait for 1.2.[/quote] The message pops when there is a more up-to-date version of the beta available. You must have had the initial 1.19 version, and now 1.19a is available.

Ignore User in Forum Issues Elemental Forums

Does this forum have an "Ignore" function that I'm just missing? Or does it desperately need one? EDIT: The official response I received was... [quote] There is no ignore function at this time, but I do have it on my todo list. I'm not sure when it will be implemented though... Bara[/quote]

He actually posted his issues in the Support forum. He is (somewhat understandably) upset that the advertised "exclusive" content he purchased isn't really exclusive. It's like selling "exclusive" club memberships and then letting in the riff-raff after 90 days. If Stardock didn't want to keep the content "exclusive", then they shouldn't make deals with the Walmarts/Bestbuys of the world to advertise content as such.

They don't update the "Update Available" messages until they officially release the patch.

[quote who="Infantes" reply="15" id="2882040"]@Stuie_: Ok, so, as I understand it, you like to have a frame that fills the game with meaning. [/quote] Actually I only play sandbox mode. Just pointing out how others might feel. :)

Reply to Where is Campaign Book 2 in War of Magic Stardock Forums

[quote who="Infantes" reply="12" id="2881261"] sandbox gets old pretty quick. You honestly baffled me. Now I can relate to many a users priorities, but THIS simply is out of my range of comprehensible values. Even where I play the campaign, the "sandbox" mode easily gets played 20, 50, hundrets of times more often. [/quote] Some people like to play a game within the structure of a well-crafted story.

[quote who="Capn Darwin" reply="4" id="2880887"]Stuie, It appears to be totally broken in 1.19. I can't appear to mod any core xml in the data directory.

Posing more as I find them: Ctrl+W = Cycles through wall types for city. Shift+Ctrl+L = Lose the game Shift+Ctrl+V = Win the game (eliminates all other factions) The one thing I would really like that I haven't been able to find yet is a way to "meet" all of the other factions so I can watch their power rankings while running AI only mode.

Posting this here because it has helped me with testing my (as yet to be released) Five Kingdoms mod. Originally from the "Cheats" thread in the main forum: https://forums.elementalgame.com/372995 I wanted to point out an important discovery I made; you can run the game in AI only mode by pressing Ctrl+Z, and Ctrl+Z again to pause. This is great for testing long term implications of modding on the AI. The other shortcuts from the original thread - note

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="1" id="2878093"]There is actually a ton of small changes like these in every patch, way too many to print in the patch notes. I've found that the only way to know about all the changes is to compare the core XML of "before" and "after" patch (and read the changelog, ofcourse).[/quote] They have to have a comprehensive list of all the changes; why not release it? Is there a reason not to tell the end-users about all of the changes?

Reply to [eMOD] Adventure Content Pack v1.41 [for 1.2] in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

I tried plain vanilla with only ACP, and there are some abilities that appear to be broken. These are the NPCs I've noticed so far that have no abilities even though they have them in the xml: Aniya Imuuskaenial It just happened that they were the first two I came across in the game I was playing. I uncovered the map and the rest of the NPCs that were present looked ok.

Reply to [eMOD] Adventure Content Pack v1.41 [for 1.2] in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

Couple more things: The TacMaps folder in the zip file is empty. Are there supposed to be maps included at this point? None of the NPC abilities are showing up. I think this might be a conflict with my mod... I'll try running ACP with nothing else and report back.

Reply to [eMOD] Adventure Content Pack v1.41 [for 1.2] in WOM Mods Elemental Forums

Really enjoying this! The new string quest (so far) is excellent. The only thing I would suggest is more proof-reading of the text. Part of the text switches verb tenses at one point, and there are some typos/spelling errors here and there. I'm really liking the objects that increase stats; I modded the game so that heroes get no points at level-up (since the AI doesn't take the upgrades), so the new items are very much appreciated!
