I'm working on an update for my Hero Upgrades mod, but I'm at the point where I'm running out of ability slots to use. Does anyone know if the Necromancer's immunity ability (type 84) does anything? I'd like to replace it if it isn't used.

Hey man, I have a necromancer summoning a shale spider but it keeps on attacking necro. I tried replacing the value of the shale spider's clan to serpent but it is still attacking me. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Newbie here

You should use any other ID of  of you it Which is not a unit type of nature 

Simply ID SWAP With your shalespider

Just to be clear, is that “id” the integer in the “type” column?

what i did the kinda worked is copy the attributes of a shale spider into a reserved unit. But when i try to make a group of spiders to walk, the game crashes. Any thoughts on that?

The Shale Spiders attack you if you set it OnAttack application of effect. Set it OnHit and they shall be on your side even without a clan set. For Cannoneer mines you can go to Data_MagicObjects and find the one that corresponds to Mine. Find the MaxPerTeam or something similar column where you will find the default number 20 which then you can change. To change the initial 3 charges you can go to Data_Abilities table and find the AbilityType for Mines (not AbilityTypeEffect) and find LimitedCharges column.

Thanks for the answer man. I do have a question regarding the shale spiders. Where do I change the OnAttack to OnHit?

That was just a guess, maybe you tell us in detail how you implemented the Shale Spider summoning? Did you just replace Spirit Warrior with Shale Spider in Necromancer's Battle Gear CreateUnitType?

Yes that's what I did the first time, but then when I try to control the spider the game crashes. So what I did was what gregor suggested, and i swapped the unit types of spirit warrior and shale spider, and it worked. But then when I control the spider it responds like the spirit warrior (its talking like the spirit warrior when you control it)

Just proceed with the one that's working, then go to Data_UnitSpeechFXEvents table and find the type that corresponds to Shale Spider (ZZ_UNIT_U_SHALE_SPIDER).

In the same table look for the one that corresponds to Spirit Warrior and replace the values there with Shale Spider's. But I guess Shale Spider doesn't have any Speeches in that case you would just set the values to -1.

Alright, I'll try it out. Thanks so much!

Hey everyone! Where do I tinker when I want to limit the max peasant generation rate to x number of huts only?

Has anyone done this before?

I found: Data_Clans.MinTimeToCreatePeasant  Data_Clans.MaxTimeToCreatePeasant

and also under Data_Buildings AI max default (This one caps the number of huts players can build?)

Thank you!

With my limited knowledge I think it's in the exe file (out of what you can edit using the Data Editor but I could be wrong).

With AI max default no you can't limit yourself / players from creating a specific building using that column. For all I know you can only use the 'CanOnlyHaveOne' and mess around how watch tower can be unlocked by certain buildings in Data_TechTree table and UnlocksBuildingType column in Data_Buildings.

Hey man,

So this is what I did:

I changed the MaxPerTeam to 2000 for mines, then the charges to 30 per cannoneer after going to the metal shop. All seemed well, but it stopped working at around 17 charges left, and then my raiders can't plant any caltrops as well. Is there like a limit of magic objects per team? Thanks

You won't see any total limit of magic objects per team in the dat file, just the one that you changed which is per magic object type per team. Maybe lower the count of mines? Since having 2,000 active objects aside from the units, the buildings, the trees, and any other object in the map all at the same time would cause a memory leak so it's no surprise if the application itself have a hard coded limit in it.

Yes Good

Yes exactly

It feels like changing the AIWarPartyMakeups and UnitToWarPartyEffectiveness doesn't change how the AI behaves in my games. Has anyone else tried experimenting with this?

I don't see any change in AI behavior by changing UnitToWarPartyEffectiveness, though I've seen a change when I experimented with the min and max party size in AIWarPartyMakeups.

Also, what's with the serial down-voting?

[Kalsonic12 1]

Thanks. Currently trying to figure out how to make the AI behave more in-line with multiplayer behaviour, but so far no luck.
