Armor modding broken?

Potatoman · #1 February 16th, 2004, 11:13 PM

Working on v2.0 of my mod since this morning, but hit on a major snag today- armor modding appears to be broken. I can create the armors I want but for some reason units equiped with them, i.e. #armor "Shinobi Shozuku", do not recieve it and revert to 0 protection.

I've done 5 clean loads of domII without changing the mod .dm file and the armors have, strangely, worked exactly once on load #3. No commands were altered between loads.

Anyone else having this problem?

Ok, I've figured it out and it looks like a bug. The armors a mod creates will work only on the first game you load. If you exit to menu and resume the game, all custom armors will disappear.

Has this been confirmed as a problem with no work-around?

Also, is there a way in 2.08 to mod the appearance of items so they can be items that can be forged and/or given to units on maps?

The bug will be fixed in the next patch, but the workaround is quite easy. Always quit Dominions between games.
