no brains in a jar?

If I drop the 100% random, maybe I should boost it up the 10% to 20%? I don't want Neoclidia to be stuck with almost only Astral and Earth up until the late game.

@Aezeal: No, no brains in jars. Poor Yithians can't try out their experiments. I might make an Astral "Pocket Brain" item or something which boosts research, though.

hmmm as long as you don't remove items that already exists you can do everything you want

No no, I didn't mean to remove the 100% random, just the astral part of the random. To lessen the amount of astral the mage gets and give it more diversity.

Here's Neoclidia, plus the new Deep One Scholar. I also made a couple other changes, but they're not very large.

I swapped in the new mod and tried to load my game... got a "bad #addrecunit command" error.

Darkwind · #7 January 14th, 2009, 04:25 PM

I'm not sure what happened. I deleted all #addrecunit(and #addreccom) commands, saved the file--still a bad one, despite the lack of any commands to be bad. I delete all but one--still bad. I'm not sure what's up. It seems Dominions hates me--first the errors with the Orbital Stations, now this. I might just go PM a better modder about it, see what he (or she I guess) says.

I've looked at the lines and can't really find the problem.. what did you change between versions?

Maybe take old version again and put one of the changes in (PS was the scholar recruitable I couldn't see) and then test etc etc. (of course simple stat number changes you can do all at once since that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm reasonably sure that the only major change was adding the Scholar. I'm just going to go see what a better modder than I can say about it.

I contacted Amos, and his help started a spree of modding. As it turns out, I had done my #addrecunits in a rather wrong manner. I also discovered that the reason behind the Orbital Stations showing up as units was because I wasn't summoning them as commanders. The reason they crashed the game was because, due to a typo, they had no sprites (#sopyspr instead of #copyspr). So, I've fixed the no-commander-summoning issue, the typo, my recruiting list for Neoclidia, and I changed the #copyspr for the ships to actual sprites from the Dom3K mod because I was tired of the units showing up as priests and archers.

So there you go. here's a new, hopefully bug-free zip. Kudos to Amos for the help.
