    Default Making new castles

    I have made a series of 20 new castles for my WoT mod, but I am unsure as to how to add the new bufs I have made for them so that they work.

    I have seen it done in mods such as HTW, but I've no idea how to do it myself.

    Wink Re: Making new castles

    Hi,

    use the Gnome Editor and have a look at the Viking build prod file. There you can see that the castle upgrades have these entries (Point 9 - Strategy Map Piece Filename):
    "warrior hold, stockade, fortified village, Fort, Fort, Fort, Keep, Keep, Keep"

    The info pics for each upgrade are defined this way (Point 8 - Strategy map infopic filename):
    "warriors hold, stockade, fortified village, Fort, Fort Motte, Fort Motte Bailey, Keep, Keep Curtainwall, Keep Curtainwall Ballista"

    Upgrade: Fort Motte
    Strategy Map Piece: Fort
    Info Pic: Fort Motte

    You'll have to place your bufs in the folder campmap\pieces\buildings.
    There must be an entry (or a blank space) for each upgrade in each column (name, costs, build time...) of the build prod file.

    First, there is a limit of 8 strategic castle pieces that you can have. So those 20 new castles that you made need to share pieces, you can't make them all individual.

    For making a BUF, did you try using the CA tool, Buffy the Bif Slayer? It should work with that.

    Good luck,
    Duke John

    Damn Damn DAMN! :

    I didn't know that!

    Does that mean they have to replace existing ones?

    Oh well I'll manage. It will have to work like this:

    Pieces:
    1 Villiages
    2 Towns up to fortified town will have another piece.
    3 Walled town onwards will have another piece
    4 Then towns with two walls
    5 Then all other Towns
    6 Cities
    7 Cities with outer city walls
    8 Fortress

    That is the most anoying piece of news I've had in a while.

    Could I have a link to that editor?

    There you go: CA BIF BUF Utilities

    And I understand how you feel. It was for the ME:TW team also a setback to hear that. We wanted to include alot more famous castles, but alas.
