PrePatch 2.07 bugfix mod

[Saber Cherry]

I scanned through the known bugs that can be corrected with the current modding tools, and made a mod that corrects them. You can download it here.

I tried to make it fairly objective and limit it to things that were unquestionable, but if you have questions - or additional additions - please voice them! Hopefully it will be rendered obselete soon, but until then...

EDIT: I did not include the Caelum cold fix mod, so that will have to be enabled independantly.

Note - if you want to see the exact effects of the mod, add the following to the bottom of the .dm file, and start a new game as Ulm, then look at the units.

add to bottom of .dm file to test the mod:

Awesome, Cherry!

I don't get it. You have comments like "Needs ambidexterity". Does that mean those units STILL do not have ambidexterity? I never knew they needed a fix.

Yes. Or they need more ambidextrity, but you cannot set it with the current modding tools. Actually, the hybrids do not need ambidextrity, but "tentacle" needs to be classified as using 0 hands, not 1 hand. The mod just increases their attack instead, but it's not quite the same.

Also, I did not make Ermor unholy units sacred (there are a lot of them) because I'm not sure they are supposed to be sacred.

Updated to Version 2.071. You can get it here:

http://www.geocities.com/saber_marionette_cherry/
And please, if you notice any unit-stat errors, post them here!

Additions:

The crone is the ***** Queen's shift-form. And Crystal Mages are obviously not holding a quarterstaff; it looks like a sceptre or wand.


#selectmonster 340
-- XXX name "Crystal Mage"
#weapon "Magic Sceptre"
#end

#selectmonster 402
-- XXX name "Crone"
#weapon "Stick"
#end

#selectmonster 557
-- XXX name "Harab Seraphine"
#weapon "Ice Rod"
#end
-- looks much more like an ice rod than a knife...
-- but also seems to be holding two weapons...
