Reply to How to make an item only usable if character has ability ? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Actually now that i'm trying to do it i'm starting to think that modifying weightcapcity like this won't work because these unitstat comparion this will only when when comparing values.... so like when attacking a unit. HF - reading your reply above though you mentioned unlocking a firebreath attack with a unitstat... can you alaborate on what you meant? Or is there an item in the Reliquary that does something similar that you could point me at as an example? <p

Reply to Specific AI Adjustments in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

I dunno about hardcoding, seems like a bit of a short term fix (liek real short term), i'd rather see the xml support stuff done. Even it means waiting for the next expansion or whatever. Because won't hardcoding stuff essentially just make the AI *more* predictable, which is not really what is desired... it needs to be *smarter* to adapt to different situations.... eg. if the human player it hitting them with a single big stack, consolidate smaller stacks into their own

Dammit. Thanks for confirming though. Re. your workaround, not a bad option... in fact I might even be able to cancel out the bonuses... so if you don't have the unitstat the opposite effects are applied.. Hmmm that look like something like this maybe... Unit AdjustUnitStat UnitStat_WeightCapacity<

How to make an item only usable if character has ability ? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Hi all, I'd like to be able to restrict a particular item (could be any item but it's a horse i'm trying it with currently) so it is only usable by a character that has a particular ability/trait. Basically the scenario might be something like: - create a new item which happens to be a mount called "Wild Horse" - create a unit level ability "Ride Wild Horse" that when selected allows the character to ride a "Wild Horse" - although

Evolve FE, by all means don't call the next incarnation "Elemental" anything if that helps from a marketing perspective, but keep the core things that make FE unique (several have already been mentioned). I really don't see the point of cloning something that has already been done, FE has a unique blend of 4x, strategy, tactics and rpg that has huge potential. It's all headed in the right direction no need to go off on a big tangent now.

Reply to Particle effect from item? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Yeah thanks mqpiffle, I've actually had a go at that.... tried to get a sword model from blender into the game... seemed like I had done everything right but my trusty sword just wouldn't show up :-( Regardless what that info doesn't cover is how to get a hkb model from FE into Blender (it only covers Blender to hkb), which is what we ideally need to be able to do (I believe HF has done this with Maya though). The problem is the tools in that post are kinda one way e

Dangit, I thought the answer might be something like that. [e digicons]:([/e] Shame the hkb format can't be imported into Blender somehow. I can't really do 3d stuff but I'd have a crack it it if I could try it for free. Thanks guys.

Particle effect from item? in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Hi all, Anyone have any ideas how/if it's possible to have an item that triggers an ongoing particle effect while it's equipped? I know this can be done with some weapons such as the burning axe, it seems to have something specifically setup in it's model though maybe to allow the effect to be attached (Effect_Loc_01). I'd like to be able to to a similar thing for other items, eg. the ring of superflames might play a fire type particle around

Reply to How do you switch weapons? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Yep can't.. bit of a bummer. The knives who can still throw... it's an ability, look under skills down the bottom there in the tactical bar and there should be an option to use the throwing knives (assuming you have them equipped).

A bit out there: suggestions for next couple of patches :-) in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Hi all, At the risk of being run out of town, though I might just through this one out there... a suggestion (to Stardock) and for general feedback on what I think would be great things to focus on in the next couple of patches. This is stuff i'd personally like to see but also fairly common things that are mentioned here. For all we know some of this stuff is already being worked on (here's hoping), or being improved in the expansion, or will never be looked at fo

There is some really good suggestions in this lot, nice post Darxim. Hoping the lads at Stardock will have a good look at this. I like Ambermonks suggestion about devoting a patch just to UI stuff, not a bad idea that.
