Mumakil build bug **FIXED** Download here

[Ben.EEeee]

**********SOLVED***********

Ok guys, here's my little inelegant fix for the Mamukil problem:

http://www.filedropper.com/data

This fix will allow you to build "Mamukil Drill Squares" in settlements with the "Mamukil" resource.
Mamukil Drill Squares will be unlocked after the "Barracks Event"
Mamukil Drill Squares requires "Fortress" or "Large City"


This means that as soon as the Barracks Event occurs you may build Mamukil Drill Squares in Umbar.
You may build Mamukil Drill Squares in Castle_Settlements now! (this was previously impossible)



1.) Unzip into your Third Age directory (..\MTW2\mods\Third_Age_3\)
2.) delete map.rwm from (..\MTW2\mods\Third_Age_3\data\world\maps\base)
3.) Play the game!

This fix is for vanilla TATW 3.1

It is save game compatible (if you load a Harad game and have passed the Barracks event, you can now build Mamukil Drill Squares in Umbar!)

Enjoy!

**CHANGES**
Gave Umbar and Ammu Khand the Mumakil resource (They had elephant sprites in their region but no real elephants)

Changed prerequisite for Mamukil Drill Square to require Large_Stone_Walls or Fortress AND can only be built after Barracks Event.

Does no one know?

I am not sure of what you have done, but theese are the levels of cities (from descr_settlement_mechanics):

<level name="village" base="300" upgrade="1500" min="250" max="1800"/>
<level name="town" base="1500" upgrade="4000" min="250" max="4500"/>
<level name="large_town" base="4000" upgrade="12000" min="250" max="12500"/>
<level name="city" base="12000" upgrade="26000" min="250" max="27000"/>
<level name="large_city" base="26000" upgrade="28000" min="250" max="38000"/>
<level name="huge_city" base="28000" min="250" max="55000"/>

"Huge City" is the max, so if Umbar is not the max, you cannot build the training Grounds there.

Look into descr_strat.txt
Umbar must have the resource elephants, but currently there's no elephants there:

resource elephants, 263,    37  ;gobel
resource elephants, 370, 62  ;khand
resource elephants, 320, 44  ;harad
resource elephants, 196, 11  ;south umbar

Start the game, enter the strat map, open the console, put the marker at an open space in Umbars region, type show_cursorstat and write down the numbers you get.
Go back to descr_strat.txt and add this

resource elephants, 263, 37 ;gobel
resource elephants, 370, 62 ;khand
resource elephants, 320, 44 ;harad
resource elephants, 196, 11 ;south umbar
resource elephants, XXX, YY ;umbar

Delete map_rwm to make the engine understand the change and start a new game and I hope we're game.

Umbar starts maxed.

Look into descr_strat.txt
Umbar must have the resource elephants, but currently there's no elephants there:
Code:
resource elephants, 263, 37 ;gobel resource elephants, 370, 62 ;khand resource elephants, 320, 44 ;harad resource elephants, 196, 11 ;south umbar
Start the game, enter the strat map, open the console, put the marker at an open space in Umbars region, type show_cursorstat and write down the numbers you get.
Go back to descr_strat.txt and add this
Code:
resource elephants, 263, 37 ;gobel resource elephants, 370, 62 ;khand resource elephants, 320, 44 ;harad resource elephants, 196, 11 ;south umbar resource elephants, XXX, YY ;umbar
Delete map_rwm to make the engine understand the change and start a new game and I hope we're game.

That merely places the resource sprite on the map I think - the resource declaration in desc_region seems to be the real source.

I didn't know about the map_rwm, I'll go test it. Thanks.

[Ben.EEeee]

Ah yes, deleting map_rwm did the trick, there was no need to edit descr_strat.txt

Thanks Ngugi. +REP

Now, to make it balanced by forcing Mumakil Drill Squares to be buildable only after the barracks event and not after turn 1.

[Ngugi]

Ah, haven't worked with resources myself before, but good then the map_rwm was our missing piece of the puzzle

In castles? I think that's a bit overkill, you are going to have more Mumakil than Gondor has Gondor Infantry. lol

To be clear: In castle_towns. You will still need to upgrade them to fortresses before you can build Mumakil though. That should take 200+ turns without cheats.

Previously it was impossible to get Mumakils from Castle_towns because you needed Citadels to build Mumakil Drill Squares which were impossible to get because they were only available to Gondor.

I think that was something that was overlooked with the addition of the custom settlements since they use a specific town/castle lvl ... and those levels become inaccesible to other settlements ... can't blame the devs ... because every time they add a major feature like this in order to eliminate those lets say "bugs" they have to recheck every file make the apropriate corrections which is a long a tedious work to do i think ...

Yeah, I'm not blaming the devs, I love this mod. But as I said somewhere else before Harad without Mumakil is like 300 without Spartans.

I couldn't find a fix and made one myself

Good job then, have some rep!
