Thank you!

This file was just adjusted. Heroes no longer divide experience as it should be in Patchwork mod. So heroes fromDemons and Wizards mod were pethed to have this feature.

The new release v.0.91 was just uploaded to Nexusmods.

Yet another question remains. Why summoned units require 2 points in summon pool when description says that they should require 1?

Also I can summon even if I have -1 summon pool. Is this a feature of Demons and Wizards mod or my mistake?

If you have included extra copies of my SpellDefs in your mod that would probably cause this.

Abob101,  I will check this in the evening. But I can't remember that I added something. My patch-mod consists of those your xml files, that were modified by me for compatibility issues. No additional files were added.

Here is the test.

I created new summon familiar spell. There was no such before. I gave it <Resource>JB_Summons</Resource>. Then I start a new game and summon pool reduces by -2:

Code: xml
  2.     &lt;SpellDef InternalName="SummonFamiliar"&gt;
  3.         &lt;DisplayName&gt;Summon Familiar&lt;/DisplayName&gt;
  4.         &lt;Description&gt;Summon a Familiar.  Familiars can cast all the spells your sovereign can.&lt;/Description&gt;
  5.         &lt;Image&gt;M_WargFamiliar_Card.png&lt;/Image&gt;
  6.         &lt;IconFG&gt;T_SummonFamiliar_Icon.png&lt;/IconFG&gt;
  7.         &lt;AutoUnlock&gt;1&lt;/AutoUnlock&gt;
  8.         &lt;CanStack&gt;0&lt;/CanStack&gt;
  9.         &lt;SpellBookSortCategory&gt;Summon&lt;/SpellBookSortCategory&gt;
  10.         &lt;SpellBookSortSubCategory&gt;Summon&lt;/SpellBookSortSubCategory&gt;
  11.         &lt;SpellType&gt;Strategic&lt;/SpellType&gt;
  12.         &lt;SpellClass&gt;Defensive&lt;/SpellClass&gt;
  13.         &lt;SpellSubClass&gt;Summon&lt;/SpellSubClass&gt;
  14.         &lt;SpellTargetType&gt;Self&lt;/SpellTargetType&gt;
  15.         &lt;CasterMustBeSov&gt;1&lt;/CasterMustBeSov&gt;
  16.         &lt;Range&gt;0&lt;/Range&gt;
  17.         &lt;Prereq&gt;
  18.             &lt;Type&gt;AbilityBonusOption&lt;/Type&gt;
  19.             &lt;Attribute&gt;SovereignBond&lt;/Attribute&gt;
  20.         &lt;/Prereq&gt;
  21.         &lt;SpellResourceCost&gt;
  22.             &lt;Resource&gt;JB_Summons&lt;/Resource&gt;
  23.             &lt;Amount&gt;1&lt;/Amount&gt;
  24.         &lt;/SpellResourceCost&gt;
  25.         &lt;SpellResourceCost&gt;
  26.             &lt;Resource&gt;JB_Summons&lt;/Resource&gt;
  27.             &lt;PerTurn&gt;1&lt;/PerTurn&gt;
  28.             &lt;Amount&gt;1&lt;/Amount&gt;
  29.         &lt;/SpellResourceCost&gt;
  30.         &lt;GameModifier&gt;
  31.             &lt;ModType&gt;Unit&lt;/ModType&gt;
  32.             &lt;Attribute&gt;SummonUnit&lt;/Attribute&gt;
  33.             &lt;UnitClass&gt;Familiar&lt;/UnitClass&gt;
  34.             &lt;Duration&gt;-1&lt;/Duration&gt;
  35.             &lt;Value&gt;1&lt;/Value&gt;
  36.         &lt;/GameModifier&gt;
  37.         &lt;AIData AIPersonality="AI_General"&gt;
  38.             &lt;AIPriority&gt;40&lt;/AIPriority&gt;
  39.         &lt;/AIData&gt;
  40.         &lt;HitSoundFX&gt;Spell_SummonFamiliar_01&lt;/HitSoundFX&gt;
  41.         &lt;SpellDefEffect&gt;
  42.             &lt;EffectName&gt;S_SummonEarthElemental_Particle&lt;/EffectName&gt;
  43.             &lt;LocalPosition&gt;0,0,0&lt;/LocalPosition&gt;
  44.             &lt;EffectScale&gt;0.5&lt;/EffectScale&gt;
  45.             &lt;EffectDelay&gt;0&lt;/EffectDelay&gt;
  46.             &lt;SnapToTerrain&gt;1&lt;/SnapToTerrain&gt;
  47.         &lt;/SpellDefEffect&gt;
  48.     &lt;/SpellDef&gt;

Sumon pool reduces by 2.

 

Test 2. I remove this code:

Code: xml
  2.         &lt;SpellResourceCost&gt;
  3.             &lt;Resource&gt;JB_Summons&lt;/Resource&gt;
  4.             &lt;Amount&gt;1&lt;/Amount&gt;
  5.         &lt;/SpellResourceCost&gt;

No result. Sumon pool reduces by 2.

 

Test 3. I remove this code

Code: xml
  2.         &lt;SpellResourceCost&gt;
  3.             &lt;Resource&gt;JB_Summons&lt;/Resource&gt;
  4.             &lt;PerTurn&gt;1&lt;/PerTurn&gt;
  5.             &lt;Amount&gt;1&lt;/Amount&gt;
  6.         &lt;/SpellResourceCost&gt;

Result - No summon pool maintenance. Summon pool remains as it is. Here appears the question - why 1 JB_Summons per turn subtracts 2 points from summon pool?

Also: today this compatibility patch mod is updated to v.0.92.

Summon Familiar requires Summon pool.

Summon various elementals spells return and they all require Summon pool. This is needed for compatibility with some old heroes.

It is suggested to upgrade, though nothing critical will happen if you use v.091.

webusver - I copied that SummonFamiliar spell to my Mod folder (just that file nothing else from your mod).... and it works fine.  I just have D&W plus your SummonFamiliar.  It costs 1 SummonPool as expected.

So your code for that spell is correct.

I'm not sure why it would be deducting 2 Summon Pool for you.  Do all summon spells cost 2 or only this new one?

It tested it more. It's all right with Demons and Wizards mod and the compatibility patch. I'll test further.

First of all thanks for your efforts, both of you - your work is nothing short of amazing!

 

Now, I unfortunately have a technical issue: Missing icons and images while trying to run your two mods in this compatibility mode - basically anything relating to the D&W mod is missing graphics. I followed the installation instructions above but it appears the game is missing a graphics folder somewhere. Any idea how to correct the problem?



edit: Nevermind, I resolved the problem. I had put the D&W files in \mods\D&W when they needed simply to be in \Mods .

New version v.0.96 was uploaded to nexusmods.

Spell books from Demons and Wizards mod were added to Decalon ability. As suggested Aerowreck. Fixed some minor compatibility issues.
