Working on a new mod
 

Hello there, as some may know I was working on on the mod called Dracasia, but due to lack of mod option the project have been halted. I'll take the project up again when it gets possible to modify what I want or perhaps making it finish for dom3. I'll apolyguise to those of you who have been waiting for it, sorry. Also I've been away for awhile to get formiliar with Linux and learned alot (no trace of winblow on my computer anymore).

But in the meanwhile I've been working on a new mod which is highly inspired from the warhammer world (Yes, I'm a warhammer geek, and I'm proud of it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif) The army I have been wrestling with is the warhammer wood elves army which will be replacing the current Pangaea army.

So what is this army gonna be like? Well on must area it gonna have some similiaryties with Pangaea. Some stealth units and special wood spells. But other than that New Pretenders like: The Wood elves god Orion and The Godess Arial to choose from plus some standards pretenders. Excellent bowmen, treants, dryads and many more.

The commen unit is light to none protected, agile, good in defence.

More to come...

The "ancestors"* of the wood elves are already in the game. They're called "Danoine Sidhe".
They're light units, agile, with good defense.

Just wanted to mention it ...

*in a 'literal' way. Tolkien borrowed his elves from the celtic "Sidhe" and the "Alfar/Alben" of nordish / continental saxon mythology. Everyone after him just re-did them even worse.

Needs. More. Skaven.

Question is it possible to give negative variable in eg. #fireres XX ? I'm sure there's are command for fire weakness but I can't remember how's the command.

Re: Working on a new mod
 

Try

#fireres -25

Earlier any number would give 100 % immunity. I'm not sure if this has been changed, but if it has negative numbers should work as well.

I'm actually thinking of doing a skaven mod, but it's on hold until one of my friends gets around to making some sprites.

Re: Working on a new mod
 

Okay, I'm almost done with mod scripting, the next step will be the sprites making, which take time.

The mod banner is done:

Thanks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I got a question to those who can answer it, the command called #startsite "site name" Can I enter whichever of the sites from dom2 or just the little list which is in the mod building list?
Thanks

Re: Working on a new mod
 

Every site . Cohen gave his crusaders e.g. a steel oven site .
So every site is possible .

I think Edi has made a new updated sites chart somewhere as well http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif .
