Minor CoreUnits corrections

from Elemental Forums

As I've been having fun adding my own champions to the game, I've probably been staring a bit too long at the CoreUnits champions. I've noticed a few anomalies in the list:

 

1) Champion Shannon of Vurthela does not have an allegiance definition (kingdom or empire) and never appears ingame as a consequence.

 

2) Champion Giavanna's skin tone visually off: almost lipless and her legs are actually part of a male torso. Probably because her "Texture_Skin" is listed as "K_Male_Freckles_Texture_01.png" instead of "K_Female_Freckles_Texture_01.png".

 

3) Champion Vasim has a "LeatherBreastpiece" listed both as <AutoCreateEquipment> and <Equipment> meaning you can never remove the Leather Armor from him as a cloth piece and it does strange things ingame as it remains permanently in his equipment inventory.

Excellent catches. Specific feedback with fixes included. The devs couldn't ask for better!

 

On a completely unrelated note...

You have created new champions? Give me a link to that file, please! I'd love to look at your work.

 

At the very least, I have added this to my own modded files fixes. Great work and what a time saver to have it all laid out like that.

Shannon is Amarian (Pariden) so I made her a kingdom champ.

 

Also... Adant (first champ) in the file is Path of the Defender AND Path of the Warrior, which is odd enough. But then he's skilled up with air1, air2, and air 3? He's kitted out in full chainmail and a riding boar, so I'm assuming the goal is he's combat oriented...

 

Oh Hellions! You may have cost me another day of my life. (Heads off to start a champions balance pass)

I don't have one big file to share as there is actually an individual file for each custom champion. So it's 68 instead of one :)

I will upload a few as examples but keep in mind that they were never meant to see the world at large and their background stories are rather minimalistic as a result (all their recruitment texts start with "I thirst for a life of..." which became a sort of inner joke). I've tried to keep the balance and they have the same number of abilities per level as their official counterparts.

- Drakt Plainsrider / Empire / Level 1 / Urxen Male / Abilities: Earth1, Enmity & Strength Level

- Veela / Empire / Level 1 / Quendar Female / Abilities: Air1 & Water1

- Gelinda / Kingdom / Level 3 / Tarthan Female / Abilites: Air1 & Fire 1

- Horrad / Empire / Level 3 / Wraith Male / Abilites: Fire1 & Fire2

- Jurten The Ranger / Kingdom / Level 5 / Tarthan Male / Abilities: Path of the Assassin, Marksman, Precision1, Master Scout & Stealthy

- Triggen The Wise / Empire / Level 5 / Trog Male / Abilities: Path of the Governor, Administrator1, Loremaster1; Trainer1 & Potential1

- Daymo Shatterbone / Empire / Level 7 / Urxen Male / Abilities: Path of the Warrior, Bruiser1, Bruiser2, Brute, Rage, Strength & Strength Level

  

Each file should be dropped in the My Documents/My Games/FallenEnchantress/Units folder and the game will spawn the custom champions randomly along with the official ones. Mods need not be enabled for them to load (I still can't believe the incredible customization of this game).

Oops kind of went off topic, oh well.

I've taken a look at what you had in the zip file and I would be honored to throw your 68 heroes into my next game. Flick in particular, with his broken nose, and underdog traits made me smile.

 

Don't sweat the small background story. Short and sweet is fine by me. No 68 novellas required!

 

Can I have your permission to include your heroes into my ongoing game modification collection? (with credit of course)

 

And +1 karma for you. I KNOW how much time it takes to cut/paste/rework 68 times, I've lost weeks of evenings editing fallen enchantress xml files myself.

Hey thanks. Of course you can use those champions if you deem them worthy enough.

 

I'll have to see about the rest of them although several are specific to my custom factions and would be weird on their own (e.g. green skinned Altarians). I'll have to hunt for typos first, I've already seen one which escaped my notice before uploading (sigh).

 

(Karma right backatcha)
