Reply to Elemental Modding: Part 2 – New Factions in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

The faction editor I'm working on has the standard Color Picker from windows which lets you choose a pre-defined color or make your own. Then takes the RGBA from the color picker and puts in the xml.

Which interview was this? G4? I hope we get the tool, despite my efforts in my own faction editor, I would love to have something from the developers, it will be much more usable/interesting.

Yeah, I definitely will go with tabs as I continue to work on this. It will be too unwieldy otherwise. RavenX, I certainly hope so, I would like nothing more than to have this tool made obsolete by SD produced tools. :) But it is my small contribution to the community.

Thanks for the encouragement. I can see now why they didn't continue to make a UI for it. There are a ton of options. I haven't even added in the racial bonuses yet and I am already having scrollbars all over the place. In any case, I'll get something out and see what suggestions people have and then go back and edit and make it better.

Reply to [Customization] Factions in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I believe that you will have a nice tool provided by Stardock to create a new faction. This will allow you to define the various strengths/weaknesses of the faction as well as what tech tree they use (think GalCiv 2). While I want to have some way to ensure that I can't completely wreck the balance with my faction, I like the fact that I can create my faction out of the game and get it just right then use it as I want in the game. Or even bette

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="43" id="2645924"] Then the question is, how much are you guys willing to sacrifice for that? Do any of you remember how many updates we do to our games when they're new? GalCiv had like 5 updates in the first month. Not bug fixes mind you but new stuff. Sins of a Solar Empire had several in its first few months. I can tell you right now, Elemental will likely get at least a DOZEN updates in its first 6 months out. You guys have gr

Reply to PC Gamers out-performed Console Gamers in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Interesting. I am a pc gamer at heart, but I own a PS3. I had Unreal Tournament 3 for the ps3 and it did have the keyboard and mouse enabled for the PS3, it was great. I loved it. I thought to myself, you know what if all the consoles enabled keyboard and mouse and started adding strategy games, then I might have to make the console my main gaming platform. However, they haven't done it and who know if they ever will.

[Suggestion] Post Release - Post Mortem of AI Design in Elemental in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

AI in general, and game AI specifically really intrigues me, I would be really interested in hearing how you go about designing the AI system for a game like Elemental. I realize that we'll see some of the parts in the XML and modding, but I'd like to understand more about the design of the entire AI system. Is there any chance that you would be interested in writing a Post-Mortem about AI design for Elemental or for 4x strategy games in general. I realize

Reply to Cloth Map and Sovereign images are empty in War of Magic Elemental Forums

It's not a universal problem. I play with both AA and advanced lighting without problems. I would imagine it is tied to a driver issue, and Stardock can't change the drivers, they must be waiting to see if NVidia and ATI will respond to their questions, if not they will have to change the internal game engine to do things a different way (which maybe a lot of work).
