Reply to Path of the Governor in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Probably too hard to mod in, but it would be appropriate if the POTG heroes got experience from some/all of the following: Leveling the town they are in (travellin' governors - weee! Creating a Wonder in the town they are in. Extra XP for winning a battle in the city and/or that city's territory where another Hero is not part of the battle. XP from any battle you win in which a Hero or Sov is NOT present. Rushing a building.

Essessentially, at the heart of your complaint is that the heroes and RPG elements in the game have little to

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="1" id="3266930"]/mods/GFX/ [/quote] Thanks Heavenfall. Another thought - essentially in the end what I'd like to do is to mod the entire CoreWeapons, CoreArmor and CoreItems XML (mostly the first two) so that most goodie huts and lairs don't give out the same crap you can get by simply researching through the Warfare techs - I am seriously tired of leather armor ;) . I assume that if I

I've made several new items and icons for those items, but putting them in the mod directory doesn't seem to work in game - the itesm come up with a blank icon. Is there a special folder in the FE documents directory outside the mod directory where I have to put these files?

So I'm looking to make some armor (and probably some weapons later, too) that gets better based on the number of Elemental Shards you own. However, I don't see a way to make the calculation based on that criteria. For example, in a spell, you have something like: [code="xml"] [/c

[quote who="GaelicVigil" reply="2" id="3265244"]Somewhat related to #1 is how annoying the popup is for city leveling. Often I don't even know what city is getting leveled because the name isn't on there and I can't move the popup or the map to see what's underneath it. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally turned a planned Fortress into a City, and vice versa because I couldn't tell what I was leveling.[/quote] Oh god, I&#

Reply to Game needs more event hooks... in FE Modding Elemental Forums

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="3" id="3264029"]I think it's a discussion of whether they should go for a high-cost very flexible system, or a low-cost inflexible system. If they keep adding different XML tags (not that they have added any requested by modders btw) then each new tag has a certain base cost in manhours needed to implement it. If they do a proper scripting system instead, it's a big cost but they unlock all those small opportunities as well without needing a small base c

Reply to Game needs more event hooks... in FE Modding Elemental Forums

Ah! I missed that. I should have looked at Barbs, which does damage to the target and the caster and figured that out - I just see that spell so rarely used - it's hard guessing at tags! While a full on event-based scripting would be good for extreme modders, I think if you really want to sell the game on it's moddabiilty, you either make it decidedly easy with XML or you include really fantastic tools like Bioware did with Neverwinter Nights, because the casual mo

Game needs more event hooks... in FE Modding Elemental Forums

So I've been trying to spice up the otherwise lacklustre supply of items, particularly weapons in the game. i was surprised to see so few event hooks for melee in the available XML (although maybe I shouldn't be, since really there aren't that many in the game) For example, the Tear of Cyndrum has this hook: [code="xml"] AdjustUnitStat UnitStat_HPFromKills [/code] I expe
