Problem with custom battles

[Patrizius]

I have a problem in my mod.When i start a custom battle,i can't select any kind of wall...


I select the city to be town and then i go for woddden palisade but i can't slect it...

I checked and i can't simply select any wall type in every custom map,even those which i have always played with custom cities...



Any idea

[Dol Guldur]

Sounds like the wall faction/culture assignments in edb have been altered.

[Patrizius]

i haven' touched that part of Edb...I don't know.Anyway i'm going to check for those errors.Any other idea?

here it's the code

[Patrizius]

no idea?

[Makanyane]

not sure why it shouldn't be working in custom battles but try taking the
and not hidden_resource unit_sparta
bit off - 'and not' conditions in EDB tend to have unwanted side effects.

also you should probably delete/rename your map.rwm after doing that, as its resource related.

[Dol Guldur]

Yup, that "not" would block it. I will have to make that more clear in the EDB Guide when I get time.

If you want to not allow sparta to have walls then make a resource necessary for walls. Doing it your way will also mess up the building browser (a pet peeve of mine btw). ;)

You might use "slaves" as a resource as it is assigned to all regions usually; and getting rid of it in sparta will not hurt.

[Patrizius]

it was that!!
as i remove the resource it became available.
Thanks to all.As normal your help has been decisive

out of topic, but here goes:

does anyone know what file has the information on shield wall for BI? (the stats benifit, distance needed/used, etc)
and why hasn't anyone answered my topic on the lakhmids here?

[Aradan]

The code for special abilities/formations is in the .exe file (which is illegal to be modded/cracked). Generally, shield-wall gives def bonus in melee (none against missiles) but only from the front; from the rear and sides it actually makes your units perform worse, because of they way it works. Figuring out the exact number is a nightmare though...

EDIT: Why on earth did u use this thread?!

[Ibrahim]

because no one would answer the thread I made-that's why; and you haven't answered the other half of the question!
inevitably, I used one that people quickly answered...
thanks for the shield wall source. pity, it's hardcoaded.

[Squid]

If no one answered your other question(s) its because they don't want to do the texture/modelling for you, otherwise they would have responded.

Please keep threads on topic - it makes it very hard for future users to find information when it is disorganized.
