Utility: combineMods.py

Agreed.

[mehrunes_dagon]

spent many hours playtesting a middle-age combination

noticed that the script gave two units the same number, so AI player hired a powerful unit for zero gold. The units are

"Chaos Warrior Chariot"

"Keeper of Secrets"

and the mod is "chaos undivided"

and the commands i ran where
===========================================
#!/bin/sh

target=april_1
#use fixed sitemod with correct incscale

sed -ie 's|/wyvern|/sitemod|g' sitemod.dm

for x in *.dm ; do
perl -pi -e s/\\x0d//g "$x"
done

sed -i -e 's:\\:/:g' angmar.dm
sed -i -e 's:^-.*::g' -e 's-farmlandfort-farmfort-' angmar.dm
sed -i -e s:goodmagiceader:goodmagicleader: themiskyra_MA1.35.dm

Interesting. If they have the same ID number then one should just overwrite the other. It shouldn't be changing other aspects (at least cost) of the unit. Can you post the .dm into this thread so I can try and figure it out?

Uh... can we commoners hope for a compiled executable version?

This is just a script so all you need is to have python installed (default on all great OSes). In terms of usability this particular script just emulates this perl script.

[nordlys]

I have xp, and have no clue how to use it.

[nordlys]

OK, i even trashed my system with Python, and that's what I get:

C:\Program Files\dominions3\mods>combineMods.py 1 ArgaDis.dm Avernum.dm test
File "C:\Program Files\dominions3\mods\combineMods.py", line 13
"""
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

edit: nevermind, I needed a 2.x Python version rather than 3.x

I am now trying to combine a bunch of nation mods (Arga Dis, Avernum, Themiskyra and the 6 Warhammer nations along with endgame diversity and worthy heroes), and the resulting mod always gives me "name2spell" error until I drop half of these mods from the mix (the various warhammer ones typically cause mischief). What am I doing wrong? Or there is a total mod size limit?

[kennydicke]

What am I doing wrong?

There is a limit to the total number of new modded spells: ~120.

[Sombre]

I will reconfigure some of my mods to take less spell slots. Primarily by taking them from other nations, like LA Pythium.
