MOD: Long Winded Changes Mod: Improvements increasing Balance, Accuracy, and Fun

[Kolyana]

I never knew that the superficial modifications were so easy! Even I'd try giving that a go! lol.

BTW, I didn't think that an optional feature to your mod *would* be easy ... but we can all dream, right?

BTW, reducing jungle clearance is - imho - a cleaner solution than giving swordsmen the capability. It does take too long.

I also wondered why you get no timber from it. Are the Rainforests not jungle?

[Plutarck]

Now that I went looking I also found a bug

-Swordsman, Legion, Immortal, Infantry, Mech Infantry, Man-At-Arms: While the Man-At-Arms could clear jungles only because of an error (I copied the Swordsman for it and forgot to unflag it's ability), none of these units are now able to Clear Jungles.

That's from my current changelog, so it will be available in version 0.6.

When I try to build one of the new units. My game crashes =\

Coracle won't load Pioneer

In trying the .5 MOD , I noticed that while the Coracle has a transport of 1...but it will not load the Pioneer. Am I missing something or shouldn't this be able to load ?

Next bug encounter on this mod:

I tried upgrading a swordsman to a partisan and keep getting a crash.

[axxessdenied]

I can build a Coracle, but when I select Pioneer, the game crashes right away.

[Plutarck]

Claymore: I didn't realize it until you mentioned it, but just about all non-combat units are not counted as "foot units", and the coracle has the "carry only foot units" flag. That will be removed in the next version.

Kind of defeats the purpose of adding the thing in the first place


axxessdenied: Is the unit the Pioneer, by any chance? If you haven't already, go to the download page and download the patch


[EDIT]

Blackadar1: I'm not totally sure, but I think this may be a bug in the game with units that are "Stealth". That's the only problem I see.

Can you try using the editor to remove the Stealth ability from the Partisan and see if the game still crashes when you attempt to upgrade?

I'm betting that's the problem...hm...not sure what's the best way to solve that...

[Plutarck]

Actually Blackador1, after testing it I found no problem. I could upgrade Swordsman to Partisan without any difficulty. Could you be a bit more specific as to what was going on, or perhaps email me your saved game and current .bic file?

Or you might see if the full install of version 0.6 somehow fixes the trouble. I'm currently wrapping it up to upload it, and will post when it's done.

Hi

I downloaded your mod a couple of days ago but I only managed to try it today.

I start a normal game with the english and for some reason if a choose to build a pioneer I get a windows error (classic messegebox-general protection error or something!),the program terminates and throws me onto the desktop

I've tried starting a new game a couple of times but the same thing happens

Has anyone else had similar problems??

Any help will be valuable

Thanks
JS

[Jimmy_Shark]

OK just saw that a couple of people were having trouble with the
pioneer however I can't get the auto-update to work (error message saying there's no space,or read-only etc which is not the case)
Any other way of getting the v0.5 patch without having to download the 20Mb?

[Plutarck]

Try again later today. I'm currently uploading it and it's kinda taking ahwhile.

[Plutarck]

Jeesh! Ok, now the update is working and the full version I hope will be working in under 20 minutes from now.


Everyone who already has LWC v0.5 should use the update function now, and it had better update your version to 0.6 (if it doesn't I may be forced to harm someone).


First post in this thread now updated to reflect the changes.

[Blackadar1]

Plu:

I'm attaching my saved game file as I've duplicated the crash even after upgrading your AWESOME mod to .6. Heck, this may be a game bug. Try upgrading the conscript swordsman found in the capital city and it'll crash on ya.

[TheRascalKing]

Um, I tried to DL it and somehow it screwed up the zip, and now I'm being denied access to the server and cannot download it at all. I spent 3 hours DLing that thing...this just isn't kosher!

[Honour_Shogun]

Tried using the update function to get newest version, but am getting an error messgae saying I have not enough space(I have over 10 Gigs, so can't be that), the files cannot be modified, or the files are missing or corrupted. None of these things apply to me. Any ideas what I can do?
