Woah interesting stuff, this'll certainly come in handy

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was always pretty sure Lightning Storm did pierce damage...

Cool, and just a question:
Is there a way to modify recharge time for god powers?

Thanks for your correction, Archeopterix . The lightning storm does pierce and crush damage, but no hack damage at all. (How did you notice that it does pierce damage?)

RazyCay,

As far as I know, it's impossible to edit other attributes of god powers, such as recharge time, unfortunately.

Well, hello everyone, I'm new here... It seems this thing is very interesting! (although I found how to do that a few weeks ago...)

This stuff will be in your AOM\god powers folder, and if you have used something like aomed.

I just wanted to pointed out, that if you want to make gp's last longer, you can always edit the active time line, like this in locust swarm. And for cool FX, for things like meteor, tornado, or lighting, you can set it to last 50 seconds to have it end when the music ends! <activetime>28.0</activetime>

You can also edit its radius, but I don't I like making gp's longer... ... With this line, like this one for Locust Swarm.
<radius>8.0</radius>

You should back up your gp's and dont screw around with them too much, or then if it's screwed up, your AI for enemies won't compile or work, and your attie/all god powers will just be lure, as it is the first gp xmb/xml in the list, called animal magnetism. I just wanted to point that out.

To RazyCay, you can do this to change the recharges and recharge times for gp's with thses lines (with the spaces/tab, maybe you don't have to but I do), but then it doesn't have to be 500 or 0 recharge time as I've done to my spiders.xmb/xml file just for laughs and the screams...
<recharges>500</recharges>
<rechargetime>0</rechargetime>

Oh yeah, alexandergreat3, you can also check out the proto.xml/xmb and protox.xml/xmb in the AOM\data folder (with aomed or something like that from the data.bar, or was it also data2.bar? I'm assuming you don't know it because you don't refer to it... Use the names you gave and find it in the proto file.)

Hehe... Sorry for posting another small note of a guide and ruining the topic, but I couldn't help it... (please forgive me if I did anything wrong)

Bah! there isn't any spaces in the post... oh well... It's a tab if you wanted to know.

Thegoodmad attie,

Manually editing through the proto is modding, and would not be a good way in AOM for a couple reasons:

1) Out of Sync
2) Scenarios don't save these information

Actually, from what I've seen, modding IS encoded into the scenarios. For instance, one can change the dimensions of a unit or building with the proto.xmb, and the skewing will remain present if downloaded over ESO.

I'm not saying for sure these statistics would be saved in a scenario, but some data is saved. *shrugs*

GAD - I really need AoM:TT so I can change all this cool stuff, I'm sick of editing unit sizes manually :P

Do you guys perhaps know how to modify a healing spring ?

yes i do know how to modify a spring

use the "modify protounit" command

choose healing spring

And set the healing rate, Range, Etc to whatever you want

sticky this.

Thanks nifty !

Actually, how about instead of stickying this is submitted to the Articles Library thingy? (maybe an expanded versionm, with more comments and ideas given by the forumers in this thread)

Plz Note

Since the Healing Springs Convert For each player you MUST do this trigger for each Player

You Can also Alter Plenty Vaults this way, By chaging their gather rate of each reasource for each player

You can Also Alter the Ancestors Power too!! just got to add a "if GP is cast" trigger and make it last for 1 minute or it will effect mminions of mummies too.

Norse Wars . In late game, usually my units had (I don't play it now anymore) like 98% pierce armor. I usually didn't upgrade the hack armor. However, I noticed that with the 98% pierce armor, lightning storm GP was worthless .

And another thing, I think most people assume that lightning storm only affects units. However, experience (in the scenario editor) told me that that ISNT TRUE.

Lightning storm also affects buildings, but buildings have in general more than 90%+ pierce armor. Only when targeted on i.e. houses, tents, columns and fences, you can see the effect. (Well, you'll also see some effect on a Migdol I guess, but that won't be very spectacular).

im having trouble........ where is "modifyprotounit"?
and do i have to have a certain edition of the editor?

nobeastliving,

You must have The Titan expansion's editor to do this.

Quoted from nifty_PS2Man:

This is strange, because I've tried modifying the healing rate/range of the spring, and it didn't work. (Has anyone else been able to modify the spring's healing rate/range?)

[This message has been edited by Alexandergreat3 (edited 05-07-2004 @ 10:47 PM).]

i have titans expansion but where on the list does it say modifyprotounit?

It's Modify Protounit with a space. And it's just as all other effects in the trigger effects dropdown.

when you mod the spring you got to do it for each player not gaia

which i posted before
