Demo era for custom units and graphics

scott · Post by **scott** » April 21st, 2005, 2:44 pm

I made a test era that demonstrates one way to include custom units and graphics for use with multiplayer. I will put it up on the campaign server so please test it and see if it works.

Just for fun, the custom units/graphics I picked to test out allowed me to split the Knalgan alliance.

When this test is over, I will try do the same thing with single maps playable in any era (since at least one person has expressed desire to do this). If there are other needs you as a mapmaker or MP scenario designer have, just let me know and I'll try to work something out.

PS I'm not 100% sure it will work with 0.9.0 (due to the new translations syntax) - it works with 0.9.1cvs and up.

it is awesome!

Here are some more units:

also download scotts from the server. but replace the era, and add the units.

Can I assume the custom units worked for you?

Separating the Knalgans was just for kicks. If people really want an era like this, I can keep it up. However, right now I'm more interested in the technical aspects.

21-5 melee and 9-9 ranged? Who wouldn't pick the Lord of the Bobs?

disto, shadow's axthrower and runemaster are only supposed to be pictures, right.[/img]

What was the error, and what version of the game are you using? Should ###### ####### give a WML error? I don't think it should, so the fact that it does could be a bug.

0.9.0 mac 0sx.

No, I only split the Knalgans and gave them the axethrower. It was fun. Like I said, if people want to make a "player's choice" era, I can do it with this one or someone else can take the reins. I would like to mostly ferret out the problems with getting custom units and pics onto someone's computer and having the game recognize them in multiplayer.

Alright, let me know if you get the same thing under 0.9.1. It's possible the bug was fixed already.
