Re: Ancient Empires Elysium: Roman Wars
Well, I hope that you finish your work. It is a great job, specially the trees and landscapes. I would like to know more about units and factions.
I hope that you delight us with a massive preview.
Good luck and good night.

Re: Ancient Empires Elysium: Roman Wars
Makes sense, the limitations really make it hard and frustrating sometimes. But then again this game is 15 years old, and it's nice that we still have a small community dedicated to it!
Looking beautiful as always, that model of the Samnites, is it a Ferres inspired Algaman model?

Re: Ancient Empires Elysium: Roman Wars
Hey Limes, about the engine limitations I have a good new. There are two not used climates on RTW. Mediterranean and Volcanic (these are the internal name of them). I tested to use the Mediterranean one and it works!! I think that volcanic will work as well, this last one not tested yet...
To make it work completely you need even to work on descr_geography.db (otherwise you will get a CTD when you go into battle), also some others files that probably you know.
In addition, I saw your flickr... A W E S O M E

Re: Ancient Empires Elysium: Roman Wars
@squid I think it's time to update the DB editor! Perhaps you could also add a copy-paste ability
For now you could use a hex editor.

Re: Ancient Empires Elysium: Roman Wars
If you check in RTW vanilla (clean files) you will find this in the descr_cliates.txt
climates (donīt forget that the entries have to be listed in this order)
{
test_climate
sandy_desert
rocky_desert
;mediterranean
temperate_grassland_fertile
temperate_grassland_infertile
temperate_forest_open
temperate_forest_deep
swamp
highland
alpine
sub_arctic
;volcanic
semi_arid
You know that the "mediterranean" climate used by RTW is actually test_climate, but there are two new cliamtes block by this ";". Yoy have to remove this ";" for both of them and create new entries in the descr_climates.txt. (Yo can copy-paste from other existing cliamte and only add the new name "mediterranean" or "volcanic"). Then, if you has finished, you have yo set up the propper vegetation entries on descr_vegetation.txt (as you difined on descr_climates.txt). This is an example:
climate medieterranean (all entry copied from text_climate)
{
colour 220 220 150
heat 3
winter
strategy summer sparse_tree olive_a.cas 2
strategy summer sparse_tree cypress_a.cas 2
strategy summer dense_tree olive_a_impassable.cas 2
strategy summer dense_tree cypress_a_impassable.cas 2
strategy summer canopy olive_a_impassable.cas 2
strategy summer canopy cypress_a_impassable.cas 2
strategy winter sparse_tree olive_a.cas 2
strategy winter sparse_tree cypress_a.cas 2
strategy winter dense_tree olive_a_impassable.cas 2
strategy winter dense_tree cypress_a_impassable.cas 2
strategy winter canopy olive_a_impassable.cas 2
strategy winter canopy cypress_a_impassable.cas 2
battle_vegetation
dense_forest RTRA_MEDITERRANEAN_FOREST_SUMMER (You can use an existing one on descr_vegetation.txt)
dense_scrub RTRA_MEDITERRANEAN_SHRUB_SUMMER(You can use an existing one on descr_vegetation.txt)
battle_winter_vegetation
dense_forest RTRA_MEDITERRANEAN_FOREST_WINTER(You can use an existing one on descr_vegetation.txt)
dense_scrub RTRA_MEDITERRANEAN_SHRUB_WINTER(You can use an existing one on descr_vegetation.txt)
env_map data/battlefield/envmaps/grass.dds
}
It is very important that you locate the new climate entries in the same order that they are listed on the descr_climates.txt, as I told you.
Then you should add new entries for ground type textures on descr_aerial_map_ground_types.txt. Also, you should create the folder for textures on battlemap on data\terrain\battlefield, and be sure that the two new climates appear as well on climates.txt into text folder. In addition, you should check that exist another entry on descr_geography.txt if not you can copy it from an existing one, and then generate the trees files deleting descr_vegetation.db (in case that you are not using an existing of them) and all these things that you already know... Finally, when you will open descr_vegetation.db with hex heditor, it should appear the climates that you unblock.
I have made a quick synthesis so I hope that I donīt forget anything but a few months ago I tried to unblock the mediterranean climate slot and it woks!!
Please, tried it and let me know if you could access to campaign or battlemap.

Re: Ancient Empires Elysium: Roman Wars
Ok, I understand. I took paper and pencil to copy the parameters of an existing one... it is quite annoying. Then good luck, we will wait for more news about your mod.
