Re: Mac OSX Automator Workflow for PBEM

I've been playing around with that, and your script like a great start. I wanted to add an automated turncounter, so I came up with this kludge that built upon your ideas.

Start with a file...

Mytheology Pretenders

This is a mod-in-progress that creates some new pretenders and spells. I'll keep adding to it as I go along, depending upon time, learning curve, and the availability of mod commands to support the...

Re: Modder\'s Guide

Looks like that might cover some of the unique Pretender abilities I asked about (but not assigning spell attributes to monsters or items). I'll play with it when the 3.05 patch comes out.

Thanks...

Re: Command Line Switches - revisited

I understand that theory, but it doesn't appear to work. Here is the full contents of the Dominions3 directory, including hidden files:



The problem is that OSX is also throwing an error; the...

Re: Starting a new game...

Esben - have you made any progress on a play-by-email-server? I was considering doing the same, perhaps with a web frontend (which I guess would make it a play-by-web server).

File Structures: Question for the developers

I'm thinking of writing a comprehensive PBEM manager. One of the problems I have found with PBEM games is turn numbers - players think they have submitted the most recent turn, but they haven't.

Command Line Switches - revisited

It's been posted that to get a list of command line switches, one needs only to run (from the command line):


However, I'm having trouble generating command line options in the Mac OSX.

Re: Request: some randomness

I had suggested earlier, a "random number generator" kludge. Set up a number of events with the same flag (so only one gets chosen). Set the same variables in each event, but with different...

Re: Modder\'s Guide

I guess the number of views but lack of responses to my last question means:

1) Such a thing isn't possible.
2) Such a thing may be possible, but nobody knows. Probably a hack.

Feature Request

I'm sure it's been said before, but I'll say it again... a high-contrast shadowing for the text that appears during 'view battle' would be a much needed fix. White text on white backgrounds is...

Re: Big Question to people with knowledge!

It would also help to make the nation banners all different colors, or slighly different in shape for each of the different Tien Chi nations.

It might be tricky to make sure which Pretenders are...

While we're at it (aren't I demanding?), is there any way to give special (e.g. spell) attributes to monsters and items?

For example, certain deities summon allies over time, and lots...
