You cannot destroy the ring in Vanilla TA:TW.

You cannot destroy the ring in Vanilla TA:TW.

so u mean only sub mod can destroy the ring?

[Kassandros]

Yes, there is a submod wherein the Ring plays a greater role but in vanilla it's pretty useless aside from a nice ancillary.

[Vulg]

Uninstalling the game WILL destroy the ring

Unless theres a hidden System32 DLL file named 1ring.dll

looool


just when I've opened a thread saying that I've found the ring

[TheXand]

Can't you just get the general with the Ring killed? Not sure if it will come back somewhere else though, dunno how it has been worked into the game :S

[Muffer Nl]

It WILL come back someday. The killing general may even find the ring.

[Hermes Trismegistos]

As far as I know it will always reappear somewhere in the misty mountains. So the only way to get rid of it would be to conquer all misty mountains regions and then not letting any generals in these regions... but why should anyone do that?

[alhoon]

I suppose the original poster wanted to stay closer to the ethos of the books/movies and destroy this artifact of evil.

While spitting through the files i noticed that if you beat a general with the one ring chances are you find it are 100%. I was looking throught the files since i read somewhere "the one ring doesnt work". I havent beaten a general with the one ring, so i cant say if it works. Since its just an ancillary and when for instance the faction leader of Isengard dies his heir gets the Saruman ancillary a turn later so why wouldnt it work for the one ring.

From export_desc_ancillaries.txt:

(After battle won and general dead, captured?)

Trigger one_ring
WhenToTest PostBattle
Condition WonBattle
and IsGeneral
and GeneralWithAncKilled one_ring

AcquireAncillary one_ring chance 100

(Father dies)

Trigger one_ring_trigger
WhenToTest FatherDiesNatural
Condition FatherAnc one_ring

AcquireAncillary one_ring chance 100

So basically my Q is it Working As Designed?

[OfficerJohn]

Trigger one_ring
WhenToTest PostBattle
Condition WonBattle
and IsGeneral
and GeneralWithAncKilled one_ring

AcquireAncillary one_ring chance 100

; If the general with the One Ring is killed, then the script gives him the One Ring.
; Congratulations.

[Freakwave]

Good, thanks.

[sturmdg]

You can erase it from the script

[2-D Ron]

Trigger one_ring
WhenToTest PostBattle
Condition WonBattle
and IsGeneral
and GeneralWithAncKilled one_ring

AcquireAncillary one_ring chance 100

; If the general with the One Ring is killed, then the script gives him the One Ring.
; Congratulations.

How come this isn't added to the Destroy the One Ring Sub Mod?
On his it's a matter of the Ring disappearing after the bearer general is killed in battle by another general, the Ring ends up in the Settlement/Region it was lost?

EDIT: Read Nirneath's response, never mind.

Maybe the Ancillary Slot you replaced the Vanilla Ancillary with the One Ring isn't scripted to transfer from General to General in battle conditions?
Maybe use 'find' on text for the script that does do that and cut/paste the Ring location sub mod script with that.

Too bad it doesn't work anyway...

[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]

PFFF ! I tell this matter a lot of times, and nothing has changed.
First the script is good ;

Trigger one_ring
WhenToTest PostBattle
Condition WonBattle
and IsGeneral
and GeneralWithAncKilled one_ring

I'm a scripter, and sorry to tell you this OfficerJohn, but I think I have more knowlegde about correct scripts than you. This script code is perfect, and normally must work. But in practice, in game, after a lot of testes, I never saw the event. A total mystery for me. But it is not this script that is corrupted ; it must be another script, concerning postbattle too, that locks the one ring script.

[axnsan]

Or maybe the command is just bugged. Has anyone got it to work right before?

[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]

YES !!!! I said code is right ! And if I said this, it's true.

[Evan MF]

YES !!!! I said code is right ! And if I said this, it's true.

Since you know so much about script, could you tell me what language it is in?
