O.K.

 

It is untested (So you know), so please do report anything unusual when playing. I've played a fair bit of CoS myself (including some w/ my Xtra Mods) so I have an idea of the stuff that's in there.




Files that have been updated (Other ones should all be CoS compatible already):

Xtra_AIPriority3_Mounts.xml (Added some UnitStat_BG)

Xtra_AIPriority3_Mounts_DLC04.xml (Added some UnitStat_BG)

Xtra_ShopValue3_Mounts.xml (Added some UnitStat_BG)

Xtra_Z_FixBossAbeix.xml (Added some UnitStat_BG)

Xtra_Z_FixBossDelin.xml (Added some UnitStat_BG)

Xtra_Z_FixBossMorian.xml (Added some UnitStat_BG)

Xtra_Z_FixBossTorax.xml (Added some UnitStat_BG)

Xtra_Z_FixBossVetrar.xml (Added some UnitStat_BG)

Xtra_Z_FixDeorcnysse1.xml (Extended the fix to CoS Factions)

Xtra_Z_FixPioneers.xml (Added some UnitStat_BG) + (Extended the fix to CoS Factions)

 

* * *

 

Two CoS files will require a bit more work on my part (which I intend to do, once I finished writing this)

tokensummon_Overwrite.xml
Egg_Skath
Letter_Mark
Token_BestFriend
Token_Golem
Token_Wolf

vsUnitType_Overwrite.xml
Club_Champions
Staff_Banishing
Spear_Champions
Warhammer_Blessed
Warhammer_Banishing
Axe_Hunters
Mace_Banishing
Shortsword_Hunters
Broadsword_Champions
Broadsword_Silver
Pike_Champions
Longsword_Angel
Shortbow_Hunters

 

Meaning the items mentioned above will behave normally, not in a CoS way (This has to do w/ the UnitStat_BG, which I will add soon...). I'd say those items are not game defining and will not ruin your experience, but nonetheless, I will add the UnitStat_BG asap, so they behave as they should (CoS).




Otherwise, you are good to go. You can download individual files or the complete download (Use the Dropbox [Link] in OP), do NOT use the Nexus link, it is not up-to-date.




EDIT:

The boss fixes (Abeix | Delin | Morian | Torax | Vetrar) should be O.K., but CoS extends the terrain types so they may manage to exit their respective Wildland this way. If they do, it's doubtful they will get out more than a few tiles as they are blocked on every other tiles. This is something I will take look at in the morning w/ a clear head.




EDIT2:

I forgot to mention, this is compatible w/ Black Market Bazaar mod already.




EDIT3:

Make sure the XtraDeconstruct folder is the last in your \Mods folder (It probably is by the simple fact it starts w/ an "X", but just in case it isn't ...)




EDIT4:

I've nothing more to add at the moment, but since I'm spamming edit, I thought I might add another one.

 

I'll wait on your final patched version for CoS, then. Sounds like you know exactly what you're doing, and what Heavenfall is doing, as well.

How to Set MaxActiveQuests to 25 (Instead of 10, the default value).

I did this but I actually don't know what it does to the game? Do you get more random events or something?

was also wondering if with Black market Basar installed, will the AI be using/prioritising items it finds from that mod, or just ignore them?

When you get to the MaxActiveQuests number, you can't initiate any more overland map quests.  By increasing the number, you can have more quests active at a time.  I'm not sure whether Random Event quests count towards the max number of active quests.

Ok then good to know, let the questing begin! 

Also, exited for that update!

On another note I was wondering what you would say the difference is between your mod and the Patchwork mod by Webusver? Or maybe you haven't tried it? I've read through both your feature lists and it seems that you are both trying to do the same things, although maybe Patchwork change overall gameplay more?

 Wow, great info there, you gotta wonder who set up that quest-count logic though  <_<

I still would find it interesting to hear what you think the differences between XtraDeconstruct and Patchwork are in terms of overall aims, it would be helpful for others when deciding between the two. 

Also Agree with you on your priority list, it feels like making the AI better is what is holding this game back from being really great!

 It seems I missed that question. The answer to that is I have to ask Hellions to let me include in XtraDeconstruct an Xtra_AIPriority2_Items_BMB.xml file.

Needless to say, you may include said file in the Xtra_AIPriorities.

Since I've tried to make the items found in Black Market Bazaar work seamlessly with the vanilla version of the game, there are no priorities set for accessories and cloaks just like their official counterparts (except for the Leopard Cloak but I left that "error" on purpose). So you'll have to be creative. ;)

Xtra_Spells_SellBuy [Dropbox]

16 spells to buy/sell various quantities of resources (Crystal - Metal - Horses - Wargs)


Xtra_Spells_Transmute [Dropbox]

3 spells transmuting metals in other resources (Crystal - Horses - Wargs)

 

 

I don't know if this has been asked before--but is there anyway to get these moved under a new tab? Since they're not actually spells as such, and don't show up in the spellbook, they clutter up the spellpage. If they had their own tab--perhaps Trades--it might look a bit cleaner. At least, that's my opinion, for what it's worth.

Sure thing. I'll look into it.


Well, thank you! For what it's worth, I'm using the CoS version, but I suspect that won't make matters any more difficult. :)

Reply #73 from Elemental Forums Top

My apologies for being inaccurate.

 

When I bring up my ruler's screen, the following tabs or buttons are available along the bottom:

 

Details, Equipment, Trade/Shop, Traits

 

Details, not Spells, as I wrote. Details contains so much information now that it's overwhelming. I just thought that it were possible to add another tab or button, and move Trades under that, it would make things cleaner.
