Wow that's great PawelS!

I like humans to get +2 res and willpower from crusader.
Tigrans remove their bonus and give them fire strike or ignition and fire immunity or fire halo.
Frostlings I would want to have fire immunity or cold strike.
Draconians and Orcs don't need any changes.

CoC doesn't list hacking the exe as a violation, though I think the EULA does have something to that extend in it.

I wouldn't have thought to get official approval for it because of that, but a discussion about this should be ok. We have hacked other files before and disucced it in the mod forum -- I think --.

What kind of modifications are possible? A swap of Abilities? Instead of granting the Humans the Crusader Ability, give them the Flying Ability? (silly example!!) Or are we limited to Abilities other Racial Buildings are using?

Your list seems limited to the Races which gain a new Unit Ability, as opposed to other benefits, e.g. Regenerate Walls, or Holy Light.
Human - Crusader (does it give Willpower seperately?)
Tigran - Vision I
Draconian - Regeneration
Frostling - Fire Protection
Orc - Life Stealing

I guess once the moderators give their official ok we'll get more details?

--------------------------
CoC - Code of Conduct
EULA - End User License Agreement

ZE tigrans also have concealment in town or does that not work like sanctum does not?

I tried to read the EULA to find this out, but I couldn't dig through the legal language...

I can only change the abilities given to produced units, not other bonuses given by racial buildings. They can be changed to any abilities that are in the game. Humans get 2 abilities (Crusader and Willpower), so they can be changed to 2 other abilities.

I can't give Humans +2 RES unless they get an ability that gives +2 RES (like Blessed).

I think Life Stealing is too powerful, so I'm going to give the Orcs Fury (which will be something like +2 ATT/+2 DAM/-1 DEF/-1 RES in my mod).

Also I don't like the idea to give Forstlings Fire Protection - maybe I'll give them Lightning Protection/Immunity or something.

Quote:

That's something special about that town, it's not a permanent Ability given to the produced Units. As PawelS said, that can't be changed.

What do you think of mountainering for frostlings and extra strike for humans? Remove other bonuses.

It should be in a Licence agreement somewhere. For now, keep it to private modding and I would advice to not blow the discussion up too much into a crusade for exe changes. Publishers might not like the idea of tinkerings with the code and HG tries to remain in good relations with game-developers, etc. Feel free to email me with questions you have, though I am afraid I won't have much more to add than this.

(And as long as the discussions do not delve into matters as disabling copy-protection technology here, I will keep my eyes closed, so go ahead!
)

I hope that Fury also gives Willpower in your mod?. Otherwise, the already low-res Orcs will be even more prone to ranged magical attacks and other special attacks (entangle, web, poison, seduce, etc).

Maybe for Frostlings, you could give Snow Concealment to all units and have one more unit (other than the witch and doom wolf) with path of frost. Would really make those armies invisible.

Even the Elves building doesn't do much. Maybe you can give Life Domain as a trait so that units produced after building that Secret Glade heal at twice the normal rate?.

If I would copy this file to another mod then I will be able to change fury that will be in orcs racial building to the stats I want, right?

Quoted from Tearion:

The problem is that humans MUST get 2 abilities - I can't remove abilities given to produced units, I can only replace them with other abilities.

Quoted from Timelord:

It can't be changed AFAIK

Quoted from Timelord:

I didn't say that the Orc units in my mod will be the same as in the original version. BTW all races should have some strengths and weaknesses.

Quoted from Timelord:

Good idea. Mountaineering is also interesting. I'll have to think about it when making my mod (I'll start working on it after the unofficial patch is released).

Quoted from Timelord:

Unfortunately I can't add abilities for produced units to buildings that don't give them in the standard vesion.

But I'll add some mana/research/production/gold/hapiness bonuses to all racial buildings. (Growth bonus won't be useful because these buildings will be available at the City size only.)

Quoted from Tearion:

You'll have to copy the file to the main AoWSM directory, not to a mod (but you can give it a different name and retain the original file so you can run either version of the game). Of course it will use the current mod settings, so you can change the fury modifiers.

So you wouldn't be able to give Archon units +6 move then. Only pre-existing abilities.

Wait, just re-read what you said and the Archons are still screwed. Damn.

PavelS, if you make such a mod, you must understand that not every your enchantment will be accepted by everybody. I think that only crusader should be corrected (replaced). Could you make several separate files, each of these, makes modifications for a single race? Or may a possibility of choosing which bonuses give to any race.
Death protection for humans - is quite a bonus which suits chapter house.
Mirage may give blurr. Isn't blurr a kind of mirage? Tigrans deserve substantial bonus since their 3-level units are not very tough.
I think that fire protection IS a bonus for frostlings. When used with liquid form it is really cool. Then don't forget that there are many attack of fire Fire domain, fire bolts, ignition, fire blowing and breath. So when consider that the bonus should not be too powerful, then fire protection is quite all right. It's worse than lifestealing, but much better than undead or archon enchantments. By the way Eti is not a bad unit at all. I also like to build ballistas with fire protection.

[This message has been edited by Webusver (edited 03-22-2005 @ 02:46 AM).]

Just adding enchant weapon on the units is easy to get rid of the very expensive liquid forms physical protection and fire protection.

Err, guys...

There is one point no one else has figured out, yet.

Once you have started tinkering with radical things like changing the EXEs, there is no reason why you shouldn't swap the racial buildings between races. Names may be freely changed with MLDEdit, since you are going to alter the default settings of the game anyway (the EXE!).

Try it, it will work, and the AI still builds racial buildings after the swap. I have tested it extensively in my mod.

Frex, if you want to give the Archons a decent bonus, simply swap Sanctum and Blood Totem in the editor, rename Blood Totem as Sanctum and Sanctum as Blood Totem in MLDEdit, then change Blood Totem bonus to, say, Haste. Et voila, here are your turbo-Archons. Of course it is now the Orcs that are screwed with the useless building

Just swapping is not interesting. I can assign blood totem to any ONE race. I can assign any creature to be built there, but how can I change the ability of lifestealing to haste?

[This message has been edited by Webusver (edited 03-22-2005 @ 09:08 AM).]

Should I post a detailed tutorial how to change the abitities here?

It would be really nice!

(I hope Swolte won't get very angry )

1. You need an ability ID list. I've made one, but there are descripitons instead of ability names in it. You have to figure out the ability from the description. (If the code font size is too small for you, change the text size in your browser.)

2. You need a hex editor like this freeware one.

3. Before modifying the AoWSM.exe file, make a backup copy of it.

4. Open AoWSM.exe on the hex editor.

5. Go to an approtiate offset and change the ability ID.

Offset list:

Offset (old  Offset (new
1.3 patch)   1.3 patch)   Building name and race     Default ability
-----------  -----------  -------------------------  -----------------------
12BD9F       120B1F       Blood Totem (Orc)          76 00 (Life Stealing)
12BDC0       120B40       Midwinter Hut (Frostling)  47 00 (Fire Protection)
12BDDE       120B5E       Hydra's Pool (Draconian)   31 00 (Regeneration)
12BDFC       120B7C       Mirage (Tigran)            40 00 (Vision)
12BE1C       120B9C       Chapter House (Human)      6E 00 (Crusader)
12BE2C       120BAC       Chapter House (Human)      CB 00 (Willpower)

6. Save the modified file.

I will try to edit this.

Do you think it's possible to change the ability of other racial buildings? It would be great if you could figure that out too.

PawelS, I assume you 'hacked' the Ability.pfs file to get the mapping you have listed above for the abilities and the their hex representation. If you do the same for Spells.pfs, wouldn't you get a mapping that can be used to modify the racial bonuses of buildings like Hall of Stars, Hall of Darkness, Filth Hole, etc.?

Probably you're right, but I also have to find the place in the exe file where these values are stored (and it's not easy).

Great sounds, great work! That is a new time area in the AoW modding history.

Quoted from PawelS:

You are the chosen one, that prophesied, you must believe in you! Neo will reach it! The Matrix has you!

[This message has been edited by firegolem (edited 03-22-2005 @ 11:53 PM).]

Thanks, Pavel. It's a great knowledge!

A list of combat spells provided by racial buildings:

Stone Menders (Dwarves): Regenerate Walls
Filth Hole (Goblins): Mud
Hall of the Doomed (Undead): Animate Dead
Hall of Stars (Syrons): Holy Light
Hall of Darkness (Shadow Demons): Unholy Darkness

Do these spells really need changing? I think they don't.

PawelS, none of these spells work in FC, which is very important for PBEM...whereas abilities given by other buildings - like life-stealing, vision1, extra domain, etc are more useful.

Now, if we find a way where these spells are referenced for the racial buildings, we can probably try filling the spaces with blanks (in the hex editor) and assigning some other ability...this was what I had in mind when I asked you whether these spells could be changed.

Stone Menders (Dwarves): Regenerate Walls
Filth Hole (Goblins): Mud
Hall of the Doomed (Undead): Animate Dead

These are good. Hall of the Doomed are powerful in Dwiggs mod.

Hall of Stars (Syrons): Holy Light
Hall of Darkness (Shadow Demons): Unholy Darkness

Those I would like to change. If someone good attacks you then holy light won't help at all.

But especially archons Sanctum I want to be changed.
What do halflings get for bonus? growth, happiness I think. nothing more?
Dark elves I want to have energy drain instead of their bonus.

Quoted from Timelord:

Quoted from Teearion:

You expect too much from me. These things can't be done.
There is only a chance that the spells for these 5 racial buildings can be replaced with other continuous combat spells. Is it worth the effort?

(You can add some bonuses to the buildings in the editor, like Gold for Halflings and Mana/Research for Archons.)

Quoted from Tearion:

You're right, but I don't think these buildings are supposed to help in every battle. For example, Regenerate Walls doesn't help when you fight units with flying, wall climbing, phase etc.

I am thinking of using PawelS' revelations to make changes to my latest mod (I really hope you will help me, Timelord!). Has anyone succesfully aplied these findings?

Cheers,

BJ

? "Succesfully aplied" == "it works" ? It works... Why not ? Just like changed <Racial Building Combat Spells> in-code constants or something like <additional Ability that will be assigned to new unit after Morph> constant (default=Changeling). Or "Succesfully aplied" =="in released Mod" ?

BTW, I would like to propose some
conventions related to creation of exe-Mods.
