Mods fixed for Dominions v3.27

[llamabeast]

Awesome, thanks Amhazair.

Yeah, sites are also broken and I have not fixed them. The only one really affected is the Whispering Woods, which no longer gives you anything.

This is the perl script I used to fix the mods:


#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

my $inMonster;
my $alreadySeenWeapon;
my $alreadySeenArmor;
while (<>) {
if (/#selectmonster/) {
$inMonster = 1;
}
if (/#end/) {
$inMonster = 0;
$alreadySeenWeapon = 0;
$alreadySeenArmor = 0;
}
if (/#weapon/) {
if (($inMonster) and not ($alreadySeenWeapon)) {
$alreadySeenWeapon = 1;
print "#clearweapons\n";
}
}
if (/#armor/) {
if (($inMonster) and not ($alreadySeenArmor)) {
$alreadySeenArmor = 1;
print "#cleararmor\n";
}
}
print;
}

Hmm, the forum eats whitespace apparently. Sorry it's not tabbed - not that it really matters.

Note that you still need all the mod image files for this fix to work on a clean install. They are only fixes, not the full mods.

I just started a game as EA Ulm against AI with CBM1.6 enabled (from this zip-file).
The only weapon my archers have are daggers, when they are supposed to have short swords and short bows. (Archers without bows suck :-) )

[llamabeast]

Oh dear. I will look into that.

Great job!

I tried Marverni with the fixed cbm 1.84

Eponi Knight: 2 broadswords 2 javelins and the hoof
Eponi Chieftain: same as above
Boar lord: Axe and Druid blessed axe - they have also shield so it doesn't really make sense.

Are these already known bugs?

[Soyweiser]

Nope. But in my install I do not see those problems. So the problem is on your end I think.

[Lihaässä]

Yep.. I reinstalled the whole game and patched. It works!

You know, finding mods for Dominions 3 is a real pain in the neck. You have to basically scour the earth high and low AND know that you NEED to do this in order to find the correct mods.

For example, on llamaserver.net, the mod list gives a link to CBM 1.84, but there is absolutely no link to this thread with the fixed mods. The thread is also NOT stickied, and is buried deep in the forums. How is anybody supposed to find it, or know that it exists and that they NEED to download these fixes?

You should remove all of the invalid mods from the mod list, and reorganize them, or does the llamaserver automatically calculate the turns with the new correct mod?

I am currently in a game that is using the 1.84 version of CBM. How am I supposed to know that everyone is using the correct updated version for 3.27? What will happen if they are not? This is all rather confusing and disorganized...

Old obsolete links should be cleaned up and removed, and mods repackaged into new ZIP files with the correct updated files.

As it currently stands, the thread for CBM 1.84 that is dated March 2011, which everyone CAN see is the wrong version, and NOBODY should be downloading JUST it! They should be downloading it, and this little package as well.
