Thank you Arctic Circle for all the effort you put into this - hugely appreciated!

Thank you very much, it is just a speck in the sea compared to FfH and FF, and half the work is caused by first faulting hardware and later blundering incompetence from my part.

 

[VSPavlov]

Arctic Circle, thank you for your great work. Look forward for Jotnar joining FF official release.

Haven't posted here before because I didn't want to nag - but I'm also looking forward to the new race! Just to let you know your efforts are appreciated!

I'll second that.

 

[cvlowe]

I can't wait to try it!

 

[Arctic Circle]

Thanks all

Right now most seems to work. Sadly the Jotnar Cultist irks me. It keeps 'cannot be built by any civilization' and I can't figure out what I've done wrong.

 

[Iceciro]

Have you added it to the Jotnar's civilization info as a buildable unique unit?

It sounds like you have qunie set to 1 in the unitinfos but not listed as a unique unit for the jotnar in civilizationinfos.

 

[xienwolf]

Setting <bUnique> in UnitClassInfos makes it neccessary to set the CivilizationInfos <UniqueUnits> array to contain an entry for that unitclass which assigns them the standard default unit back again. You want to do this even for units which aren't buildable just so the auto-documentation lines up nicely.

 

[Arctic Circle]

I'll check that, but I have perhaps only three things left on my list to do now. The end is near.

And I've made a backup.

it's great to know that. thanx for your efforts

So does that mean we can play with it next weekend? *drools*

 

[Arctic Circle]

Next weekend? Most likely yes. But you might have to do a simple copy-paste. Me and my wife are working on fixing the 'last things'.

Thank you Xienwolf and Icecero, please help with one more thing. Jotnar slaves, I have a vague memory that I solved this - but it doesn't work at all now. Have things changed?

Basically I have a Jotnar Slave unit, that should be unbuildable and invisible in all sorts of ways, but if you enslave a 'Giantkin' unit - you should get a Jotnar Slave unit. This doesn't work. Please advice?

It is more or less only that and the merging of the 'Jotnar Hill Giant' and the 'Default Hill Giant' (and three similar units) like Vehem wanted me to do, and I'll get an download online for you.

I would use python to check during "onUnitCreated" for a slave promoted to Giantkin. If found, replace with your special unit.

Something about it is too special to have Giantkin naturally modify a slave? (ie - need more than a modifiedworkrate and graphic)

Hmm, how can I use a promotion to change graphics and size? Think I prefer your first idea.

 

[Valkrionn]

You want the <UnitArtStyleType></UnitArtStyleType> tag in promotion infos.

Is the release imminent? I've been checking this forums four times a day this weekend mainly in anticipation of the Jotnar

Ooh, sounds like a plan!

*waits*

Right now there are only two bugs holding me back. One is python, and that is not being able to replace the 'slave with Giantkin promotion' with a 'Jotnar Slave' unit. It just refuses to work. Its irritating, how hard should it be to take one unit and replace with another? Where is there any python code that does this?

The other one is an old bug, that I solved once. It is the Giantkin subpromotions, 'Renowned' etc. If you move the mouse over the darn icons, the game crashes. And I do not remember how i fixed it the last time it occured or what it was..

But I will not have any time to work on this until mid-next-week.

This is most of the changes..
