New Horizons v15.0427 ENG v2.4 Bug Reports

Добавлено: Чт Июн 18, 2015 3:09     Заголовок сообщения:

Hello, I'm having an issue in which right clicking on units either in combat or city/garrison screens is causing a crash to desktop. Also, although I played the New Horizons mod a couple years ago, I cannot recall how long it took to actually see new units or spells. I've only explored my starting province thus far, so I've barely gotten anywhere, but I notice no difference between New Horizons and vanilla other than the new music and opening screen. Thanks for all your hard work.

Welcome scutagira,

What version are you using? (Displayed in the opening screen)
Are you playing the campaign or an open map?

There are 283 available units in the latest New Horizons vs 71 in vanilla.
http://eador.online.fr/en/unit.var.html

As for spells, I count 300 vs 70 (counting all Summon spells as one)

Regards.

What does the line above "v1.05.1" say?

Actually there's a '-' between website and www.

Hi scutagira, nice to meet you here on eador.com.

Which New Horizons version do you use and which patch for the English release?
e.g. mine is ...

You can make a screenshot of these lengthy version descriptions and use Dropbox to place links to screenshots (and saves).

Are you trying to play the latest English version?
On a proper install, the line above v1.05.1 should read:
"New Horizons mod v. 15.0427.f01 - English translation v. 2.48"
http://eador.com/B2/viewtopic.php?t=3520

Did you unpack version 2.40, then version 2.48?

Game website - www.eador.com : this is the hint displayed in the vanilla version of the game.

Ah that must be it. I'll check it out.
Thanks alot.

Yeah I actually did. Checked my downloads and they were the ones I applied. I'll try re-doing it and see what happens.

Sat,

A) I would shorten the version string by removing the "v. " parts, thus
New Horizons mod 15.0427.f01 - English translation 2.48

What do you think?

B) var/unit_upg.var
Unit upgrade #230 is translated to "Become Archer"
but the unit becomes unit #4 (Bowman) not Archer (unit #242)

C) text/message.txt
15. Unit award
#This unit can be awarded for outstanding performance in combat.#
=> suggest changing to
#This unit may be rewarded for outstanding performance in combat.#
or
#This unit deserves a medal for outstanding performance in combat.#

[EDIT 27/06/2015 13:15]

D) Text for Sun bracelet dialog (suggestion)
http://eador.com/B2/viewtopic.php?p=246157#246157

E) Stray '#' in dialog.var
http://eador.com/B2/viewtopic.php?p=246159#246159

F) Stray '#' in campaign_dialog.var
http://eador.com/B2/viewtopic.php?p=246160#246160

G) Text for Alkari encounter (suggestion)
http://eador.com/B2/viewtopic.php?p=246162#246162

H) Lizardman-Spellcaster discussion (below)

I) double pasting of text
http://eador.com/B2/viewtopic.php?p=246639#246639

[EDIT 27/06/2015 13:30]

J) Awkward generated text
var/dialog.var:11072:Text: #While exploring the province of %s, the hero %s has met a traveling %s of rarities.#
With "Curiosities Trader", it prints:
the hero X has met a traveling Curiosities Trader of rarities.

K) upgrade.txt
/630 Shield Wall
#The unit has the special ability to increase its defense and ranged defense by 3~ until the next turn, at the expense of halving its attack value and skipping this turn's action. When activated the unit gets Vigilance.#
Two problems: line too long (truncated) and "by 3" not "by 3~)

Suggested fix:
#The unit can increase its defense and ranged defense by 3 until the next turn, at the expense of halving its attack value and skipping this turn's action. When enabled, the unit gets Vigilance.#

Regards.

Improvements for 2.49 continued

4.) Skill "Festering Wounds" has identical text like a unit affected by "Festering Wounds" under "Active Effects". Maybe change skill version to "this unit causes wounds ..."

5.) Medal "Shining Pendant" grants "Enchanted Arrows". Enchanted Arrows for a unit that throws knives? Maybe a more universal "Enchanted Missiles" to avoid this issue. Debatable but not really high priority ...

Manually copied both the 150427 and then the 2.48 into the main Eador folder but the line on the opening screen still reads the same 'game website-Eador.com'. Tell me if I'm doing something wrong with the download, please. I'm extracting the folder 'data' into the same named file in the Eador file, then repeating with text, var, Eador.cfg, Eador.exe, and then replacing with the files from the 2.48 patch. Is this correctly done?

Step 1.) Unzip Eador Genesis New Horizons mod v15_0427_f02 ENG v2_4.zip
Step 2.) Open file folder "Eador Genesis New Horizons mod v15_0427_f02 ENG v2_4"
Step 3.) Select and copy all files e.g. by Ctrl+A, followed by Ctrl+C
Step 4.) Open game folder, in my case it would be C:\GOG Games\Eador Genesis
Step 5.) Paste all mod files at once e.g. by Ctrl+V over existing vanilla files. If prompted, select "overwrite all".

Repeat Steps 1-5 for the 2.48 patch.

If you game screen looks like that it worked

Potential issue: if you have your steam client active and "automatic update for this game" selected, your steam client may try to "help" and instantly change mod files back to vanilla version.

Wow, thanks bavarian kid! I guess I was doing it the hard way and got derailed somewhere.

6.) Name for ".gs-timer").forEach(n=>{let o=n.textContent.trim().match(/^(\d+)[.-](\d+)[.-](\d+)\s+(\d+):(\d+)$/) Lizard Mage is right now "Lizardman-Spellcaster". Sounds a bit like a Google Translate leftover ... quite unepic and bland, especially if you consider all the details and devotion that went into the unit description for this elusive and powerful ".gs-timer").forEach(n=>{let o=n.textContent.trim().match(/^(\d+)[.-](\d+)[.-](\d+)\s+(\d+):(\d+)$/) unit.

Any better name suggestions? Satshanti, Boon? Anyone ...?

Unit #117 = Ящер-заклинатель
The first word is lizard,raptor,pangolin
The second word is exorcist,magician,witch,sorcerer,wizard,warlock,wiz,exorciser

Maybe Lizardman-Exorcist

or Raptor-Warlock (haha, that sounds ominous!)

Like it .

7.) Some accidental double pasting of text.

Why aren't they translated as Saurians, anyway? Lizardmen doesn't sound very euphonic, unlike its russian counterpart. "Saurian warlock" sounds ominous enough, I suppose.

[EDIT] The "Lizardman" translation dates back to Drakon's version. There seemed to be no reason to question that choice

I had to look up "euphonic" (harmonious) in the dictionary
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/euphonic
(In my experience, greek-rooted words are not used often in English.)

It should be noted that "Lizardfolk" is well-established in D&D.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizardfolk

Google proposes "pangolin" as the first choice for Ящер
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangolin
Pangolins look somewhat like lizards (scales) but are quite different (mammals for one)
(Google translates saurian to напоминающий ящерицу = "resembling lizards")

Seems Russian has the same word for Pangolins and Lizards?
