Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

Good to see you back Zepath!

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

Gandalf: It ought to be a quick thing to put together flags for other upcoming nations. As of this moment I did not know there were yet others coming down the line. Any place to get a look at Formosa or Graxx? A forum search didn't yield very much info.

Sombre, Foodstamp & llama: Thanks! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

I'm guessing Formosa won't actually be ant people. I miss the Klackons! Maybe it's time to make my own mod.

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

Formosa will be based off the Fomorians from Celtic mythology I am guessing. They were evil giants that fought the Tuatha.

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

That should have been Fomorian (early age) and Gath (all 3 ages). Fomoria is nation 14, Gath is 20,45,65. There is also Special Monsters (24 and 25).

Most of the fomoran units can be seen in the game files. The ALL_Units game shows them. A bunch of Milesians, Fir Bolgs, Fomorians, Nemedians, Partholonians. Im not sure if they all are fomorian. There is alot of text about them all tied in with the Tuatha and Eriu with some ancient wars.

And Im not sure what is in the works for Gath. The only thing I can glean on Gath is "Time of the Nephilim".

Here is the descript on Fomoria so far...

Quote:

The bountiful land of Fomoria was claimed by the Fomorian Giants. They were once guardians of the dark and stormy ocean realm of the drowned dead. But with death ever near their loyalties changed and their malice grew. With the ascendancy of a previous Pantokrator they were punished and banished from their dark home. The full effects of the curse became evident when the Fomorians settled in a fertile land. Their offspring were short and cursed with monstrous appearences. The few surviving Fomorian Giants saw their once proud race degenerate and die. Then came the Patholonians. They defeated the Fomorians with their magic, but they were struck by a dark plague and all but one of them died. The Fomorians rebuilt their kingdom, but then came the Nemedians, descendants of the Partholonians. They conquered much of the Fomorian lands, but then the dark plague struck them and the Fomorians were once again able to rebuild their kingdom. A third wave of invaders, the Fir Bolg arrived. They accepted Fomorian rule and now compose much of the Fomorian population. Fomoria is now a kingdom of malformed giants and Fir Bolg servants.

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

Ah, interesting stuff! Thanks for the info Foodstamp and Gandalf. I was mulling a new national mod that would serve as an evil counterpoint to the Tuatha, but it seems that may be precisely what they're planning with Fomoria. I'll get my hands on the ALL_Units game (the game I have for unit viewing is probably well out of date now) and check 'em out.

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

This is an updated version. It goes up to 1809 (and one higher). Looking at the .map file (which is plain ascii text) should make it really easy to see how to update it for a few units if thats all that is needed for the next patch. If many are added then I will auto-generate a new .map and update the zip

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

Thanks again Gandalf. The Fomorians appear to have goats heads, but its tough to figure out the character of the larger giants that come just after them. From the sprites, their faces look almost ape-like to me.

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

FYI, Streamers and Standards has been updated to include flags for the new nations found in the Dom3 v3.10 patch. Enjoy!

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

Thank you Zepath.

I'm currently writing a python client program to check on the status of TCP hosted games. Would it be possible for it to use your flags for showing the status of nations?

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

WraithLord, feel free to use any of my work however you wish, including the flags. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

Hi,

I like this mod and would like to use it in multiplayer (pbem). As it is pure graphical change I thought I could use it even if the other players don't. Will it work, or will I spoil the game?
Has someone used the mod in mp independently to game settings?

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

Hi Falkor,

All players in a PBEM have to use the same mods, even if it's something like this which makes no difference. You don't even get an opportunity in the interface to choose mods for MP games - it just automatically uses the same ones as the host.

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

Thanks again Ilamabeast,

I saw your answer to my question in the game thread short after I asked here.
Everything is clear now for me.

Btw, the community here is extremely newbie friendly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

The only person you have to watch out for here is some dude people call KO, apparently he's a real bastard.

Re: Streamers and Standards Updated

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Ignore Sombre, he's a mischievous soul. KO's one of the devs.

Yeah, it is a really nice community I think.
