I wonder what the process even entails. Does someone physically go through the files? I've had to put up a new version quickly to fix critical bugs in the past, so I'm pretty sure they're not being tested in game. If not, then wouldn't some kind of automated virus/malware scan do the trick? That wouldn't take 24 hours to perform, and modders can get critical new updates out quicker.

[quote who="elruskovii" reply="41" id="3272167"]Ok, i got it! Thank you ![/quote] You're welcome! One thing I should warn people about though. Right now, the editor doesn't scan in modded skins/heads/artitems. So, it's probably best to not select any of the units from stormworld until I can get this added in. If you do select any of the units, you may experience some weird things, depending on the circumstance. They should have access

Actually, that's pretty close to what you want. Instead of getting 1 metal from an earth shard, you want 1 steel from metal (which is tied from the smelter). You'll have to create the steal resource of course, but it shouldn't take too much to tweak from that thread what you want.

This may not fix it, but try taking the whole GameItemTypeArtDef section out (it's already defined elsewhere, you only need to point to the reference -- the ArtDef node.).

After messing around with adding a mod folder, I think I should change how things are displayed for the units (generic units, sovereigns, shopkeeper, etc). Since most of those display names don't matter, it's probably best to display by internal name instead. (Stormworld generic units have a lot of duplicate display names, as it's never displayed in game). This will make it easier when selecting units (instead of seeing 8 Urxen Sovereigns).

Ok, I uploaded this to the wincustomize site. I've also zipped it, and included the FEEditor.bat file. So you can just double click on that file, if double clicking on the jar file doesn't work for you. EDIT: I also put an alternate download link. I noticed that if I wasn't logged in, I couldn't see the page (on wincustomize). This could be just until it officially gets approved.

I should mention that it's currently now version 0.2. I found several bugs with 0.1 (other factions lost their heads amongst them). Now, if you use this to create a race type, you can copy the resulting files into your mod folder, and use the in game faction editor to create a new faction. Please let me know if you find any other weird issues as a result of using this.
