Map Antilarium 3 Metamap - Page 3

The weapon of Dergoth, (aka, "Candyman"), has been known to smack the holy right out of a victim.

Wow, thanks for the feedback, I'm glad the work will be enjoyed. Thanks much also for the bug reports. I scanned for that before I posted originally, but since this project has both map and mod, it's possible I assigned some holy skills in the map file that were not properly reflected in the mod. I've gone back in and hopefully addressed that everywhere possible, and uploaded the changes. For those of you having difficulty, you can redownload from the link below or from the first post.

Antilarium3.zip

And sadly, as much as it builds drama, nothing happens when you put those artifacts together. I scratched my head, but simply couldn't figure a way to mod a surprise for that occurrence under the current mod system... so it's sort of a placeholder for the future!

Are you doing the artwork on these from scratch? They're quite good!

AH. I see it now. You gave #2806 holy 1 in the map file. I didn't think to check the map file for commander changes.

The file I downloaded at home must have been corrected before I got it

Some of the artwork in my mytheology mod is derivative - based on some artist's work, but modified/ shrunk / etc (e.g., KONG was based on movie posters). Not that you'd probably ever be able to tell, since they had to be modified so very much to fit in 128x128 px or less, that they mostly just served as templates. Some day I may go back and fix the mod to all original art for consistency.

However, all the sprites (and the map) in the Antilarium metamap is from scratch. I sort of developed a process that looks best for larger sprites, but works fastest for smaller sprites (mansized or so, which unfortunately support very little detail). Thanks!

It works! Thank you for all the work Psientist, it looks great. And thanks Edratman for the help.

I may have worked out one instance of the 'Nagot gick fel' error. I kept getting the problem until I disabled the Worthy Heroes mod. Perhaps a clash over unit numbering?

Psientist · #27 August 22nd, 2008, 10:12 AM

Gregstrom - that's entirely possible, as one mod can overwrite the base stats of a unit in another mod. There is a spreadsheet with all the unit, armor, weapon numbers included with the Antilarium download, and somewhere on this forum is a tool for auto-renumbering mods so there are no conflicts (PC only I'm sure).

Gregstrom · #28 August 27th, 2008, 11:36 AM

Maybe I should have a look at that tool.

tbh, I don't go around expecting mods to be inter-compatible out of the box - I'd just forgotten I had WH turned on. It's pretty much a default setting for the games I've been playing.

Having taken the time to enjoy the map in SP, I have to say that I love it. It's great fun going round the VPs in the endgame with Master Enslave scripted to a caster or two.

Ehm, is it me or does the link no longer work? Sorry for the necromancy, I would love to play the metamap..

It does not work

Psientist, could you reupload it? I could host it if necessary.
