Reply to Elemental gone gold - is it stable enough? in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="9" id="2713965"]Look guys, the game compiled. If there are bugs, we assume the compiler should have caught them. That's what the compiler is for. Now, none of us have had time to load the game or try it out but I'm sure it's fine.[/quote] :) I am going to try this line on my boss later today.

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="198" id="2714781"] That person is just trying to dismiss MP concerns by trying to label anyone obnoxious and rude just for asking questions. We're just days from release and the information on multiplayer is thin at best. None of this would have been such an issue if Stardock had just come out and released actual information on MP. Don't come out and give some weird little "trick" about getting this game to work on LAN when the game, in f

[quote who="NTJedi" reply="196" id="2714767"] It's obviously unreasonable to purchase several multiple copies for those few times a year when relatives visit. It's actually sad Stardock hasn't considered the family demographic. I guess if family was important for Stardock would have not been overlooked.[/quote] Why should they provide a way for these situations when the financial benefit is nil. By your own descript

Tridus, I think that ultimately the issue comes down to this: Stardock decided to put LAN support (i.e. Custom Servers) on the list for post-release. They did that so that they could finish other things that they deemed more important. You feel that any MP game should not only have internet games avaialble but also complete modding and Lan Support at release time or it is unfinished from a MP perspective.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="175" id="2714603"] Quoting Annatar11, reply 172I like how Frogboy never actually said "This game has LAN Support", and everyone is jumping on him as if he did. He just gave instructions on how to install the game easily on your networked machines so people could come over and play. Reading comprehension isn't that difficult, people. You sure about that? Beta 2 won’t have the custom games in them. That’ll come later during

As for question 1: I have put together a faction editor ( https://forums.elementalgame.com/390184 ) that will produce a new faction, and I'll keep updating after release if we don't get a Stardock made tool, I'll release the source code as well, so others can make it better. I don't think that faction editing should hold you back. There are so (!!!!) many things you can do with this, it is a bit overwhe

That reminds me, I've got to go order the kindle version of Destiny's Embers. Will we get the "bonus campaign" with the kindle version of the book too, or just the hardcopy? Looking forward to special abilities. :)

Reply to XML Generator for XML stuff in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I like randomness. I'd be interested in contributing to a project that did this. Of course, I'm not sure how you could do this dynamically as you play the game. More likely you would have to randomize the world/map xml after it is generated. Otherwise you could generate new goodie huts randomly before world creation that could then be chosen by the generator. Either way, should add more variety to the game.

Much as I love the devs for their hard work, I really, really don't care for text editing. I've done some 5th gen programming, and it pains me a great deal. I don't know what to think about the devs' decision on this, but your decision to put together a user friendly editor on your own, despite the complexity, makes me

OK - I've added a link to the initial version of the faction editor. Obviously it is still a work in progress. Right now it just lists the defaults in the base game xml (although you can type in your own values for anything). You can't load xml (that is a bit harder than you might think, so it is on the list for the future.). Same rules apply as in Frogboy's post, you can't just put any race down or logo down and expect it to show up if you haven't defined the xml i
