Utility: RanDom v2.03 - Map gen & Semirandomizer... Updated

[jutetrea]

So everything is in the dominions 3 folder

dom3.exe
random.exe
[semirandom] folder
[randomsettings] folder

Same issues.
Can't find semirandom.cfg file with random.exe
Initializing, then can't open \255... using semirandom.exe

I had the old version working in the \tools directory before so now i'm just confused.

Does your SemiRandom.cfg look like this? (or at least, same number of lines and roughly same order & path):

C:\Games\dominions3\SemiRandom

100

Get rid of the "Project NEW" line completely.
That is causing you grief.

RanDom normally overwrites that line for you, but I strongly suspect that good ol' notepad has bit me and is causing a wrap around to appear as a new line.

If anyone else is getting similar strange behaviour, please let me know and I will try to update the upload. It may not be an issue for everyone. ?

K, figured that. Now I'm getting

lost in time

Can not open ...\ganplains

[jutetrea]

k

that next line was bogus as well. that first 1, after looking in the readme and seeing what the lines meant it seems the 100 does not equal "1 or 0" fiddle names

so previously had

C:\Games\dominions3\Tools\RanDom_v203\SemiRandom

Should be

(I put it back under tools)

K, new problem. When I get rid of the "1" under the path, random.exe does not recognize semirandom.cfg and I get "text1" for all the fields within random.exe. If I do NOT take out the "1" under path it works fine.

Code shift somewhere?

[Ballbarian]

Just to be clear...
Are you now running SemiRandom from within the RanDom frontend? or are you running it directly by SemiRandom.exe?

If you are using just SemiRandom.exe directly, then you will have to manually change the SemiRandom.cfg settings. It sounds like SemiRandom is looking for a map named GANPLAINS.map and (odds are) not finding it, so generating this error.

If that is the case, try running it from RanDom, and remember to change the map name (bright yellow & red field) to a valid map (minus the '.map' extension).

[Ballbarian]

Keep your cfg like you had it. Don't remove the '1'. There is a new line in the cfg that was not there in the previous version.

Great tool, Ballbarian! I've been using it since it was only the Semirandomizer. The fiddle XP was what I was really waiting for since I was doing it by hand before. But I haven't been able to get the semirandomizer to work the xp toggle. I tried doing by hand again but I keep getting at least one random Indy on the scoreboard with a couple of hundred XP. Any tips?

[jutetrea]

Yeah, I'm actually regretting putting so much XP in my GANs, I think I have like 900 xp on some of those guys.. I miss heroic abilities

I've only played on 2 maps so far, but haven't had any luck with fiddle xp working either.
