Reply to What's the command line parameter to recompile the binary XML blob in WOM Support Elemental Forums

NOTE: I know this is an older post, but just for clarity, I wanted to reply. Yes, it does it automatically. For the curious, how it works is this: On start-up of the game (ie. while the splash screen is up) if it determines any of the games XML files have been changed from what was used when the data.zip file was created (or the data.zip file is missing), it will load in all the XML and recreate the data.zip. Otherwise it just loads in the straight binary d

[quote who="Leo in WI" reply="2" id="2797801"]Don't know if I'm missing it, but I'd love to be able to hover over a unit/city and know to which faction it belongs. Or at least when clicking on it, put the faction in as one of the details that is shown.[/quote] When you hover over a unit or a city, the infocard that pops up in the bottom right hand side of the screen has their race logo on it.

Since this was kind of a bug does it go in the support section.[/quote] Yeah, in general, do try to put the posts in the correct section of the forums. It just makes it easier for me to say, not go to the "suggestions" section of the forums when I'm just looking to squash a bunch of bugs from the forums on a particular day. In this case though, the ori

[quote]Vengeance II does work, but it is a passive ability, so there is no mana cost. It just doubles the damage when you counter attack. As a result, the familiar has mana that it doesn't use.[/quote] Ahh, roger that. I will look into giving them an appropriate mana-costing ability then.

There is also a few summons (familiar at least, possibly others) that have essence, but nothing to spend the essence on.[/quote] I looked in our source control software, and as far back as our release date, the summoned unit called Familiar (located in CoreSummonedUnits.xml) has been pointing to an ability bonus option called "Vengeance2", and that ability bonus option has been defined in CoreAbilit

Reply to The Kingdom Summons in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote who="p22" reply="19" id="2774508"]Success! I figured how to fix it. Unit abilities are defined in CoreAbilities.xml. There, every ability consists of one or several AbilityBonusOptions (for example, Clarity has several versions that regenerate 1, 2 or 3 mana). Well, what was wrong was that internal name for AbilityBonusOption for IceBlast is IceBlastAbility, not IceBlast. So changing Ice Lord's SelectedAbilityBonusOption tag to use "IceBlastAbility", in

Thanks for the post. I have fixed the issue internally and it will make it into a future update. In the meantime I want you to know (if you don't already) that you can freely rotate the camera on your own by using the middle mouse button (or pushing down on the mouse wheel) and moving the mouse to rotate. You can also turn off the feature of the camera switching views when you go in/out of city build mode by toggling on/off the "Enable City Build Mode Zoom" under the

[quote who="jackrandom" reply="12" id="2724451"]I don't think there's anything wrong with the save game file. This happens for me to, and only happens when I am in a game, and try to load the autosave. Every single time i do that, regardless of map (I haven't tried campaign), it will do this. It will not do it if I load a manually saved game. It will not do it if I start Elemental and load the autosave before loading or starting anything else.[/quote] Right,
