You may wish to do a quick test if the updated .dat files also take care of the "Halfling Rogue" crash - or if Boon needs to take another look:

Random Map, Attack Halfling Province Bourusland.

1. Summon Demon
2. Attack Halfling Rogue with Demon

English release crashes

Russian release works fine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hbw5els8r0v2lws/Halfling%20Rogue%20Rus.pdf?dl=0

Additional minor fixes:

1.) "Full Undead Rest" - I suggest "Cloud of Restoration" to better express the cloud-like, circular effect

2.) Potential issue with Ratman ability on upgrade

I've re-compiled Buttons.dat and done exactly as you describe above and my game doesn't crash so I'll implement it in a new patch, together with the other recent suggestions.

Fantastic to hear . Recompiling is well worth the effort - seems to solve a whole range of serious crash issues, e.g. simply clicking on the workman also crashed game with old buttons.dat https://www.dropbox.com/s/kk2of2sdw7v52t2/Workman.pdf?dl=0 .

I like it, but it occurs in various different files and I can't be bothered to change it now. It's quite a job and not really essential. I have changed it throughout the database however, so next time all occurences of it should be renamed to "Cloud of Restoration".

Hmm, could be a dat file again. Boon? Please?

Serious issue. That's a new unit. I had forgotten that a Sorcerer (Колдун) already exists. I'll have to think of a new name for Кудесник, the upgrade for the shaman. Magician (Маг) is already taken as a unit. Wizard is already used as a hero class. I'm running out of options. I guess magician would have fitted the best for a shaman. Thaumaturgist or Thaumaturge has no shamanic roots, but traditinal religious roots, so that one's out. I could use medicine man, but that's usually a peaceful role, and native American, rather than shamanic (image looks definitely Mongolian style). I'm a bit lost here. We could go for Shaman-Magician, but that seems a bit long and confusing.

Master of Curses ? Witch ? or simply ... Master Shaman? Battle Shaman ?
You could try to express the combination of both assault magic and healing with attributes "of Darkness and Light" or " Dusk" - Result would be Shaman of Darkness and Light or Dusk Shaman .

I would recommend to use Battle Shaman for now ...

Yes, I'll use that for now. It will do. I've been thinking of changing magician to warlock and call the upgraded shaman a magician, but I'll leave that for now. It's even more work.

Don't forget to update Medal.dat and Medal_Small.dat

Добавлено: Сб Мая 30, 2015 16:56     Заголовок сообщения:

Patch 2.46 now released, implementing all fixes reported since 2.45 with the exception of some issues that also exist in the Russian version.
The issue with the identical icons for the Ratman upgrade is also still outstanding.

Let's see...

/503 Hunger
#Makes a rat warrior more susceptible to its instincts.
Battle Frenzy +2.#


Name: Голод;
Translators suggest: hunger, famine, starvation, shortage (as appears in Text)
Why "Head"??

Anyway, all of this is irrelevant.
The issue comes from Skills.dat => the same illustration for 500 to 505
I think the game should use the Necrophage icon for 500,501,504

/500 Hunger
#Makes a rat warrior more susceptible to its instincts.
Necrophage +5.#

/501 Severe Hunger
#Makes a rat warrior more susceptible to its instincts.
Attack +2.
Necrophage +5.#

/502 Dark Hunger
#Makes a rat warrior more susceptible to its instincts.
Battle Frenzy +1.
Bloodsucker +10.#

/503 Hunger
#Makes a rat warrior more susceptible to its instincts.
Battle Frenzy +2.#

/504 Severe Hunger
#Makes a rat warrior more susceptible to its instincts.
Necrophage +10.#

/505 Dark Hunger

2.47 Issues continued

5.) Active effects, missing "of": Rune of Renewal, Rune of Restoration
Image https://www.dropbox.com/s/jlmuxaxfcageyha/Runes.pdf?dl=0

6.) Alvari Reward Issue
After accepting the Alvari Alliance quest and after concluding an alliance with another race, Alvari offer rewards for successful quest.
Among the rewards is "3 Sacrifical Ritual Scrolls". After choosing this alternative I checked
a) Heroes inventory
b) Castle inventory
c) Rituals: hero, friendly province, enemy province with guard

No such ritual. Am I missing something or is something broken here ?

45. Magic Monument
#At night the statue shines, and minerals are brought here at this time. By morning they have transformed into magical crystals and metal - gold. The people in the province are under threat of pain and death.

45. Монумент Волшебства
#По ночам статуя светится, и принесённые к ней в это время минералы к утру превращаются в волшебные кристаллы, а металл - в золото. Вот только жителям провинции под страхом смерти запрещено к ней приближаться.

My suggestion:

At night, the statue glows, turning minerals and metal scraps laid at her feet into magic crystals and gold by sunrise. The people of the province are forbidden to come close under penalty of death.

Regards.

Current text:

165. Mechanics Guild
#Reduces the cost of army recruitment by 5~. Reduces the cost of construction in the castle by 5~. Improves the hero's siege parameter by 5. Allows hiring the Siege Engineers guard. Allows the recruitment of Workmen through contract scrolls.
Allows the recruitment of Dwarven Cannons, if you happen to find their contract scrolls.#

I'd change "Reduces the cost of army recruitment" to "Reduces the cost of new units"

Suggested change:

#Reduces the cost of new units by 5~. Reduces the cost of construction in the castle by 5~. Improves the hero's siege parameter by 5. Allows hiring the Siege Engineers guard. Allows the recruitment of Workmen through contract scrolls.
Allows the recruitment of Dwarven Cannons, if you happen to find their contract scrolls.#

I also suggest changing (everywhere) "if you happen to find their contract scrolls" to the shorter "if you have the proper scroll".

Regards.

Current text:

176. Gates of Chaos
#Type: Studies spells of the fourth circle.
Allows heroes to learn the spells of Summon Devil, Black Magic, Corruption and buy Summon Lord of Abyss Spell scrolls.
Allows to perform the ritual of Demon Invasion. Allows hiring the White Shield Order guard. Adds Gates of Abyss to the capital.
The castle can only have one building of this type.#

176. Врата Хаоса
#Тип: Изучение заклинаний IV круга.
Позволяет изучать заклинания Вызов дьявола, Чёрная магия, Порча, и покупать свитки заклинания Вызов Владыки бездны.
Позволяет проводить ритуал Нашествие демонов. Добавляет в родовую провинцию Врата Бездны.
В замке может быть только одна подобная постройка.#

Looks like the "Allows hiring the White Shield Order guard." sentence just got copy/pasted there by mistake.
Weird coincidence... Unless... Yes!
It's been there since the beginning, in Drakon's "eador.New_Horizons_13.04Z English v1.5.zip"
(Drakon never released the 1.6 that was supposed to have the fix.)

Regards.
