Svartalfar Mod

[cvlowe]

Something's wrong... Well probably just something I did wrong but I get this:

1 Assets.rar: File "Assets\art\interface\Buttons\Units\darkelfadept.dds" header broken
2 Assets.rar: Unknown method in Assets\art\interface\Buttons\Units\darkelfadept.dds
3 Assets.rar: File "Assets\art\interface\Buttons\Units\darkelfarcher.dds" header broken
4 Assets.rar: Unknown method in Assets\art\interface\Buttons\Units\darkelfarcher.dds
...
1337 Assets.rar: File "Assets\xml\units" header broken
1338 Assets.rar: File "Assets\xml" header broken
1339 Assets.rar: File "Assets" header broken

OK the list was HUGE so I cut out the middle.

Anybody have any suggestions? I already downloaded twice with the same results.

when do you get that message? ive never heard of such a thing heh


about the conversion of the hero, ill see about fixing that for patch j

Sorry I wasn't clear... When I download the file and try to extract it with winrar, I get this box full of those messages. Fortunately it had a copy to clipboard option until I saw 1300 lines!!! But all it ended up extracting was empty folders.

 

[Sureshot]

maybe a corrupt download?

 

[cvlowe]

I downloaded it twice- though not a guarantee, it wouldn't seem likely. But I'm at work now so I d\l on my work PC and copied it to my zip drive. I only have Winzip here though. I'll have to wait till I get home to see if it works.

 

[Sureshot]

i used winrar to compress it

 

[cvlowe]

While at work, I downloaded winrar, and the mod, copied them to my flash drive, went to the old PC in the corner, installed winrar and extracted the file just fine. Went home and tried extracting the file on my flash drive again but got the same error- so its something with winrar on my pc. No biggie- at least I got it! Unfortunately in the meantime- the night before yesterday I had started a vanilla FfH Keelyn game... Balseraph is definitely my favorite civ... I wish I knew how to do the graphics and programming to work on some new units for them!!

 

[Sureshot]

maybe you need a newer version of winrar at home? or maybe winzip is the default file decompression at home?

 

[Sureshot]

i added a dark elf only mod that only has the svartalfar set, made specifically for patch i. its linked in the first post

 

[cvlowe]

Finally tried this mod! Love the art and characters!

Played standard map, standard # AIs. Pangea? (one continent), prince, Fayel.

Got lucky techs on a couple goodie huts and was able to research FoL relatively quickly. It started spreading and before you know it, almost every city on the map was leaves. Bam turn 404- Religion victory... Well, that was definitely the fastest win I ever had. I was kind of mad because I wanted to see the rest of the units and didn't want to start over. So I just kept playing!

 

[cvlowe]

Finished playing, Awesome artwork!

Baby dragons should be capturable with the animal handling skill Went ahead and worldbuilder-added one just to see since I had already won! Nice unit, but not very strong- should not be overpowering if you can catch.

Hidden nationality immortals- Wow never tried that trick before, run around enemy lands killing for experience without caring if it dies Had over 300 when I called it quits.

Tsunami'd a mountain, nice effect, wish I had thought about those earlier in the game, could have made my own land- now going to play again with islands- then build bridges to the enemies

 

[Sureshot]

howd you get hidden nationality immortals? or was that through council of esus?

I built that immortal hero at the council of esus. I don't know if it would work on promoting hn units to immortal... Will have to try and find out

 

[Sureshot]

ah oki, all is as it should be... now i need to make it all compliant with patch J and then finish adding everything heh

 

[Sureshot]

finished the Dark Elf Only mod for patch J and linked it in the first post and here:
Svartalfar Complete Unit Set 1.1J

it has only the Dark Elf civ features, i added loshas sound set to them so they sound like women heh, also readded their hero and the proper python code for the hero and so that lichdom makes their casters into banshees instead of liches (missed that last dark elf only mod time)

 

[Sureshot]

oki, i've completed a ton of stuff, including a very finely structured tech tree, if i do say so myself lol. chand helped me early on and he and morganknight playtested it with me as well

also added a ton of stuff, too much to remention, so check the first post for whats in the new modmod, and the second post for things that might come at a later time.

first link in the first post has the download, but here's the link to the download as well:
Sureshot Complete ModMod 1.2J

i have a problem with your mod. The darkelfs look good, new sounds are there but ervery single unit is named "dark elf warrior" wether it is a settler, scout or something else. The name dark elf warrior also shows up when you select in single player the dark elfs, something like this: dark elf warrior (conjurer), dark elf warrior (scout).....( when you look at what special units you have, under the description of what types of mana you have)



Could you please help me?

 

[Sureshot]

are you playing in a language other than french or english?

 

[Sureshot]

well im guessing that you are, so here's a fix (i thought i did this a while ago heh)

Fix for Spanish/German/Italian (Will not make them translated, but will put proper english names in Spanish/German/Italian versions)
