And on a completely unrelated note, does anyone know if the AI ever buys (and uses) the books of the Decalon? Thanks.

Primal - not sure about music, but I tried adding in new sounds and found I could only get it working from the core folder. I'd be interested to know how you go with trying to change music... let us know if you have any success.

Reply to Newbie Question: Granting Strategic Spells via Equipped Weapon? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Ok I think it's pretty much not possible. This just happens to be one of those things that FE/LH doesn't allow for. Obviously you can do this for a tactical spell, but not so for a strategic spell. I don't actually think that UnlockUnitAbility works. It certainly doesn't appear to work for an item. I had a look at the Boots of Stealth which use this (they're supposed to grant the wearer the MasterScount ability) and I'm fairly

Reply to Newbie Question: Granting Strategic Spells via Equipped Weapon? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

I haven't tried it but looking at that code I think it would probably work. But you might need to modify the AbilityBonusOption " Spell_ExNihilo".... make it a spellbook type ability, i.e. add Unit_Spell_Rank to it. Take a look at an ability like Hydromancy to see what I mean. I think that without the spellbook thing the spell prereq might not work.

Does anyone happen to know if UnitStat_ArmorPierce from something like a Spear, is applied for special attacks like Impale, Cleave etc? I see that Impale does a "DefendableDamage" in a spell-like ability, just not sure if the UnitStat_ArmorPierce is applied in that situation?

Agree 100% with DsRaider above. I really don't see that it would have to be all that complicated. This would make a fantastic DLC, even if it cost a bit more or something... would be really cool.

I guess you could always go with your original idea... but have the unit at ground level. Just give them a brick wall type thing around them. Wouldn't really have the tower type feel more of a heavy fortification.

Reply to [eMod] City Spires in LH Modding Elemental Forums

Yeah the tile would be better if you can get that to work, like you said you can make it look better. You could design a fire tower that shoots fireballs and all sorts of cool stuff. I wonder if a tile prop would work (and disappear when the caster dies) if you changed the duration tag from to just or something like that. Edit -> hmm yeah just had a couple of quick attempts, couldn't get a tile to disappear when the caster d

Yeah just did a quick test and looks like subbing in a prop for the model will work fine so that'd be the easiest way to go.
