Modding Manual Errata

[Sombre]

When it comes to #rcost it's probably worth mentioning that in dom3 basegame heavy cavalry have a set amount based on their barding, that when combined with #ressize 2 gives the 'formula' for cavalry resource costs. It's a different result from just letting them be size 3 and working the resource cost out automatically. I don't actually remember the exact base resource costs of different heavy cavalry. It's around 10 or so iirc.

It's worth reminding people that #copystats will write over any changes to the unit written before it in the mod most obviously notably name and description, so it's almost always best to use it right after #newmonster.


#holy - the description of this command should use the word 'sacred' so people can find it using a ctrl-f search.

#animal - Should probably mention that animals get a malus to sieging.

Thanks! This is exactly the sort of stuff I meant. I'll see about fixing these when I get home.

No-one knows how to get #flightspr for spells working. It definitely doesn't use the same values as #flyspr for weapons.

[Edi]

Thank you. That's then an actual bug, not merely an errata issue. I'll ask JK about that one.

Need to add that sprites should use magenta (255,0,255) as shadow color.

Update/changelog:

• Missing #name command added to Nation Modding (it had been lost at some point)
• Mention of magenta (255, 0, 255) as shadow color added.
• Cover page formatting

Still needs a table of Fort Numbers, but that's going to screw up the formatting something fierce unless forts get their own page in Nation Modding...
