New Campaigns: Questions and suggestions

[Leilond]

As I said, I can survive with that issue... players (if someone will play my campaign) will have to correctly face units during deploy

If I can use your patience again, I've got two question.
1) Is there a way to add "new weapons" or to change some of them?
I will like to add musketeers to my campaign, but "pistols" have too low range to simulate imperial musketeers.
2) Is there a way to REMOVE money from the army. I tried "AddCash -4000" to remove those 4000 golds the army starts with but it doesn't work

If not, not problem, I won't use musketeers

[olly]

We had a previous thought concerning modding spells, so weapons would work in the same way.

http://forum.dark-omen.org/tools/modding-spells-t1395.0.html

Shame the AddCash -4000 didn't work, maybe try RemoveCash 4000 even though it's not listed. Perhaps you could automatically recruit an expensive unit and then remove him.

That sounds an interesting solution
I tried to add 4000 to unit cost for treeman and then add it to the army with AddUnit 28. The treeman was correctly added to the army but the cash didn't go down and stay at 4000
Do I miss something?

By the way, I'm taking a census of all "play_self" matters. By now I wrote down from "play_self 1" and "play_self 50". Hope to finish it this evening and post it, so that you can add them to the wiki if you think it's useful. I'm primary doing it to better undestand all event ids

[olly]

Could you automatically add a large regiment who are injured and then automatically heal/reinforce them, so it costs 4000 and then remove them again.

Will look forward to more play_self info

I tried to figure out how to heal/reinforce a unit, but I didn't find any command like that in http://wiki.dark-omen.org/do/DO/WHMTG/OpCodes

Will look forward to more play_self info

   

I will post it when I'll have all them finished... This evening or tomorrow is a trustable possibility

[Leilond]

I think I found them all... at least the game started to crash at every "play_self" with argument bigger than 189, until 197... then I stopped to try
These are all the play_self value I found.
It would be nice to have a good way to know the audio file corresponding to each phrase, but I should have to decode all of them and ear every single file... and I really do not want to
By the way, from 91 to 169, they're all tutorial message... 78 messages, that are EXACTLY the audio files that start with "T_KZ" (from "T_KZ001.mad" to "T_KZ073" with some message with more than one version like "T_KZ040A.mad" and "T_KZ040B.MAD").
They're in the right order, thus we can use these file in our CTL and thus we have 78 free message to add to our campaigns

Here are the values (add them to the wiki if you think it's usefull or you can send me the user and password to update it and I'll create a page with all this values). My English didn't allow me to understand every single pharse and I put three question marks in the place I didn't undestand

Now to the harder task of trying to find event ids

[Leilond]

Is there a way to change the recruit cost for unit members?
I tryed to value the "Unit Cost" in "PLYR_ALL.ARM" and in "B101MRC.ARM" but the recruit cost stay at the standard value (for example 50gc for Grudgebringer Infantry)

Solved! It was "Point Value" to be changed and not "Unit Cost"

[olly]

Great discoveries and having the ability to add new voices will be fantastic for all the new characters in the Dark Omen 2 mod template.

Thanks

Trying to figure out how to lessen the starting gold, I decided to include only 1 member to all starting units, thus the player will be forced to spend all coins for initial replenish
In this issue, I had to discover the right price for each unit and finally I come out with the right formula.
You probablyl already discovered this, but I didn't find the proper topic and didn't want to bother you with this
Here is my discover

1) Each unit type has a basic “Multiplier” that we will call “M”
Infantry: M = 1
Ranged Unit: M = 1,5
Cavalry Unit: M = 2,5
Didn't worked other units types, but i should not be too difficult

2) Each armor value add cost to the unit with this forumula. Only the "base armor" enter in the formula, thus if you buy an upgrade to the unit, the value stay unchanged at the Win32edit "Base armor" value
AV(0) = 0
AV(n) = AV(n-1) +  n*10
Thus we have these results
AV(0) = 0
AV(1) = 10
AV(2) = 30
AV(3) = 60
AV(4) = 100
AV(5) = 150

3) In Wh32Edit we can change the “Point Value”
It's a bit tricky, because it seems that in the unit cost calculation, this value is set to the closer value between 0, 10, 20 or 30. Thus, if you put 22, it will be 20, if you put 8, it will be 10
We call this PV

4) The final cost of a unit follow this formula
T = Unit type (Infantry, Ranged unit, Cavalry)
AL=Armor level
PV=Point Value (0, 10, 20 or 30)
Price(T,AL,P) = 10*M + PV*M + AV(AL)

Example:
A cavalry unit, with “Armor Level” equals to 4 (mounted to not change this value) with Point Value 28 (that will be converted to 30)
Price(Cavalry, 4, 30 ) = 10*2,5 + 30*2,5 + 100 = 25 + 75 + 100 = 200

[olly]

Very nice and sorry but I just remembered Wh32Edit Header info

hahahahah
Great, thanks. Problem solved!

CTL EVENTS
By now I'm good confident about these
6   Charge button clicked (one way to charge, not the only one)
9   Target selected (spell or fire)
16   Regroup
25   Regroup after pursuing
61   Hit by ranged fire or spell
73   Spell cast
71   Seems to be enemy in range or approaching. Fire multiple times until the unit start to fire or is engaged
52   Unit suffered loss from range (do not fire always, probably when the loss are of some minimum value)
79   Hit by spell (Spells fire both this event and event 61)
58   Enemy approaching/charghing
65   Target lost/Enemy lost (ranged/melee)
64   Charged

It's very difficult to follow the path of those damn absurd function calling eachother on and back... I will like to meet these "great" programmers and ask them WHY LIKE THIS?

By the way

Event 3
Goblin archer event 3 change the return function to 110, where there are some "play_self 23" ("target recived"), conditioned to some unknown tests (probably somethig that always fail, like testing it's a player unit, because goblin never say "Target recived" with human voice). Does it means event 3 is "target recived" like event?

Event 4
Goblin infantry event 4 send back to 139 with some test that can send to 129 where it "play_self 2" (charge!) after a test (probably verify that it's a player and not an enemy)
I think event 4 can be the start of a charge obtained not clicking the charge button (that is event 6) but clicking on opponent banner or by a "search_and_attack_enemy"

Event 69
Goblin archers event 69 has the chance to send back to 111 that send to 115 where there are some "play_self 10" (Open Fire). 69 is probably the start firing event for archers

I think I've to give up on this... I cannot do more than this... too many nested and conditioned  calls (undocumented/untranslated conditions istructions)...

 

[olly]

Great, I will update the wiki

http://wiki.dark-omen.org/do/DO/CTL/Events

[Leilond]

Another event consideration
On b1_01, there is this code

Code:

on_event 66
        play_self 4
        #95 0
        iftrue 
             play_self 5
            #8e 
        endif 
        end_event 6844

play_self 4 is "Retreat!"
play_self 5 i "We fear the enemy"

Thus, it look like event 66 is "route during battle" and #95 0 is something to do with "fear" (return true if the route reason is fear?)

[olly]

Cool!
